@virginmedia I made a GDPR complaint to you at the time of writing that tweet it was acknowledged, my preferences were updated (apparently) and yet I STILL get calls. Not a word of an apology in that letter though. Didn’t think anything would tempt me back to Sky..

@virginmedia only had internet installed last week. For about the 15th time it's dropped out. Fed up of sitting on phone on hold. Service update page says all ok. Clearly isn't

@virginmedia According to your fault page there’s nothing wrong yet when you call they agree there’s a problem. Again poor service from yourselves when your departments can’t agree!!!

Virgin media just rubbish. Just so disappointed in a service that for the past 2 months has been rubbish. Worked all over the house and even in the garden for all the time we have been customers but now only working on one side of the house and not upstairs.

Getting a bit fed up of @virginmedia marketing calls that just hang up when I indicate I’m not interested - not even giving me the chance to opt out - #GDPR rule breaking....

@virginmedia absolute joke of a service. Try and leave them as they are having your pants down each month and it’s like trying to escape Alcatraz. Awful firm

@virginmedia Maybe you can pass on the fact 2 calls to two separate call centres (first was India, second Scotland) both dropped mid call. Assuming it wasn’t the operators maybe there is an issue. Didn’t happen to Philpines on third call. Annoying when hold times are long

The @virginmedia amazing service continues, pay £13.99 for a film that you cannot watch due to technical error 🙄 look online, seems common & responses unhelpful, hurry up @SkyUK & get faster broadband here so I can switch!

@virginmedia Exactly - hands washed of the issue. I don’t need an update, you’ve told me it’s done. It isn’t.

Intermittent network service from @virginmedia again, seems I need to use my reliable personal hotspot from @VodafoneUK - at least I have a fallback plan.

@virginmedia I've done all that. It's been intermittent all day. I've reset. I've turned on and off. I've sat on hold. It's a ridiculous service

@virginmedia Sorry to say that I contacted your online chat, but they offered no significant update other than 9th Sept for a fix and no offer of compensation as I am not experiencing a total loss of service. Not happy at all.

@virginmedia you’re broadband has gone from great to very unreliable. It seems to drop out regularly now. Paying a lot for your service sort it out!!

(@ALLhappeningNOW) reported
@virginmedia says engineers working hard to fix complex issue and taking longer than usual. I want to request compensation as even though it is not a complete outage it only comes on for seconds at a time and is totally unusable. It may as well be a total outage.

@virginmedia Yesterday but I first called last Friday. I was promised a call back with an update but this has still not happened. This is extremely poor, I do not have a direct contact with anyone to speak to so if o call back I get stuck in a constant loop. I just want someone to own this.

(@_x864) reported
@virginmedia Thanks for your response but order was placed on 5th November. No coms regarding ordering since. Also, zero response to the subsequent 3 complaints & zero call backs that were promised. No response or acknowledgement to online complaint. Is this 'customer service'?

(@this25974057) reported
@virginmedia @O2 @wizkidayo Shame your customer service is so appalling. Charging cancellation fees when people move into a property outside of your network? Wow, seems like you need to improve your network coverage to 100% of the country or you need to review your policy of trying to rob poor families!

@virginmedia I cant give you information I don’t have! I have not received a bill as I am a NEW CUSTOMER whose install has been pushed back time and time again. So no I can’t tell you my most recent bill amount. I have just rung that number and been hung up on being passed to another dept.

@virginmedia Hi. I'm wondering is there any way for me to settle the issues our flat has? It's been months since the issue appeared and I'm giving up cause it's a real pain (sorry for the honesty) to wait in the call/chat room every single day cause the staff never get things done correctly.

@virginmedia I've never had a satisfactory explanation of why previously locked. Its happened about 4 times now. I need a reliable email provider so its time for me to look elsewhere. I'm afraid 'as quickly as possible' is too vague to be of any use to me. Thanks

@virginmedia how do I actually get through to a person and not a robot or multie choice menu? This is an issue with my broadband and the VPN I need for working at home

@virginmedia @Charlylouxo Tried on wired connection and through wifi, neither work and also triggers the “you seem to be using a proxy or unblocker” on the help centre. Works on other wifi connections and mobile data, just virgin that causes issues
