@virginmedia I’ve called and called l’ve used the chat line numerous times. A agent opened a complaint in early feb l received a letter saying all sorted when it wasn’t there are 2 complaints outstanding and my accounts are still wrong.

@davesumnersmith @virginmedia I have realised that talking to Twitter teams is of limited value. The responses are scripted and when they’re painted into a corner, they just stop responding. Customer Service has become a contradiction in terms. My daughter has had similar experiences with Virgin Media.

@virginmedia my wifi is constantly going down, it's happened 4 times today, so frustration. Why do I pay £74 pound a month for this service!? Really thinking of switching to @SkyUK

@virginmedia Yes this was after I reset. I have been trying a hub reset regularly and it doesn’t help. How do I check the package I am on? Im not sure.

@virginmedia No service still. Outrageous. No customer support. Online mths all day. Great advert for Virgin. The most reliable broadband provider #poorservice

@virginmedia That might require quite an extensive overall of your infrastructure and servers however you could maybe start by answering the telephone - you are a telecoms company. Or does customer service fly out the window once the direct debits are set up?

Can anyone tell me how you get @virginmedia to respond to and deal with complaints? I am at the end of my tether with them! I have raised 4 complaints now and they have unsatisfactorily responded to 1 which I called back about to keep the complaint open only for them to close...

@virginmedia take a look at the replies to your Facebook ads. Virtually every comment the same patchy broadband connection and absolute dog **** customer service

@virginmedia My daughter had to make 2 phone calls to your customer service department to resolve a problem with her new TV box in November last year. She was almost 2 hours on the phone & then an engineer visit solved the problem. Engineer admitted the setup instructions were at fault.

@virginmedia It’s the WIFi and what can you do about it? I’ve been a customer for many many years and this issue is causing aggravation. Surely I should expect uninterrupted service all day every day. It’s not cheap either is it??

@virginmedia The first agent was so rude the second very helpful said she hoped she had sorted the dates of my contract and the bill. But as yet the bill for March hasn’t changed l have no idea what is happening with the complaints. I’m so worn down by it all.

The award for the worst ever customer service goes to @virginmedia over an hours wait to get through.

@theMrsH89 @virginmedia l upgraded my internet with Virgin and it’s dreadful. The process still isn’t sorted out lm being charged incorrectly and it won’t be put right until complaints sort it out. I’m still waiting for complaints the service for broadband and the customer is poor and very stressful

@virginmedia It was a five minute fix, but she lost one month of TV access as a result. She’s a nurse so arranging a daytime appointment took a while because of her work patterns. It’s her first home of her own and I felt she had been treated in a less than respectable manner.

@virginmedia why has my mobile signal strength dropped now Virgin Mobile is piggybacking off Vodafone? Used to be full strength when you used EE.

@virginmedia hello; you guys have been cabling our estate, and emailed me saying I’d be able to get your service in “a few weeks.” The postcode checker kept saying “nearly ready!” Etc. I just checked again, now it says we’re not in your rollout plans. Can you help?

@virginmedia And because Virgin Media's first line support systems give any agency to their customer support representatives, I can't progress to second line, who are the ones that can access my line history and see the problem.

@virginmedia That says we have an engineer booked. How is six days without any service acceptable? We’re on the top package. How can I escalate this? Call handler refused to pass me onto someone to escalate and said i would receive a call. Still waiting. Very disappointed

@virginmedia waiting to get through on the phone and the internet going off once again I give her my complaint c- reference and get hung up on meanwhile she was talking and moving the mic around - so I’m paying for no internet and no customer service apparently lmao disgusting

@virginmedia I already did that :D I wonder who designs these systems? Customer support is not rocket science, but Virgin Media's CSM hold you all back to only resolving the easy cases. I'm phoning up Virgin again. I'll ask if I can record my call.
