@virginmedia is there a fix time for the Virgin TV issue in the GU21 area? It’s been down now for over 24 hours! Will my account be credited with money that I have paid for no service?

@virginmedia truly awful company stuck in the dark ages why would you trust them with broadband when after 3 months notice to quit they take full payment and then you have to apply for a refund !!! Company run by dinosaurs looking for opportunities to rip you off when leaving !

@virginmedia plz stop calling me asking if I want an upgrade. Been a loyal customer for over 15 yrs and its getting annoying now. Yes my phone is due for an upgrade but only when I want it. So plz when you say Im on the 'has been contacted list' stick with that 😞

@virginmedia Thanks. Engineer showed up, plugged in a new Hub 3, “fixed” my BB & WiFi and, 3 hours later, it’s still not working. Can I 1) file a complaint and 2) get a guarantee that this will be fixed for once and for all.

@virginmedia It about moving house. As Virgin is unavailable at the new residence and the move is only temporary I was told in two separate calls that I could ‘freeze’ my account and now it’s come to it it seems that I have to keep paying whilst not receiving any service or buy myself out!

@virginmedia I can't sign in as I no longer hold an account, your CS don't care and obviously fobbing me off and not raising complaints as requested, I will just pursue via FCA and/or trading standards.

@virginmedia *sigh*. Been directed to this many times. Had engineers referred many times. This is a persistent issue that raises its ugly head far too frequently

@denman79 @virginmedia The irony is that @virginmedia are more like the Pistols -‘No point in asking you’ll get no reply’ and they seem ‘Pretty Vacant’ but ‘Never mind all that…..’ can someone please take some responsibility and ownership that seems to be sadly lacking atm

@virginmedia Thanks. Done that. Multiple times. And over the last 6 months. And when I was an ntl: customer. And CableTel before that. 27 years of 56k > 350Mb and now it’s totally doing my head in. Unable to work from home properly. Boss won’t be happy!

Hey @virginmedia I forgot how awful you were when it came to anything other than collecting my direct debit. Apparently you don’t have a complaints dept, genius, and after 4 calls to you today totally around three hours, you cut two of them off during the musical interlude!

@virginmedia It’s more about how this can’t be dealt with online and spending a busy day trying to get to talk with someone who actually can help. #Disgraceful #expectedthis

@virginmedia Worst part of it @virginmedia is the way your customer service team speaks to customers. Quite appalling and in my experience always approached on basis that the customer is wrong. It consistently bad - to be told you don’t send texts when I clearly had two texts quite insulting!

@virginmedia Thanks I’m currently doing this now. So on the ‘phone once again for around an hour and been passed over and back and STILL no outcome a d still holding. Just waiting for the line to go dead as previous. When does a customer give up and just leave this shower for good?!?!?! 🤬🤬

@virginmedia can I please send you a DM / ask someone to get in contact? I’ve got nowhere with your rude advisor over the phone.

@virginmedia There's an ongoing issue in the n21 area of London that has been ongoing for a few months now. The broadband keeps dropping out for a minute evey 20 minutes so when I work from home my access to my work system is thrown out. It's very annoying. Also streaming films freezes

@virginmedia Already done that, estimated fix time of 4pm. Totally unacceptable!!! We pay for your service and it NEVER works.

(@Michael_Hartt) reported
@virginmedia That's unethical by #VirginMedia. Addressing customer complaint by trying to mislead into new contract with big penalties to leave, without disclosing it was new contract - just saying "we can lower your bill". And then when I said "I want cust service not retention", hung up.

(@lauradocherty84) reported
@virginmedia I would AGAIN (called numerous times last few months) but I haven’t got time to be on hold hours talking to a technical team that just read from a script, all they’ve done is tell me they resend a signal to the pods which does nothing. Why doesnt your kit just work as it should?

@virginmedia hi, I’m struggling to get through to you. I have intermittent WiFi, run all tests possible which show no issues but think I need the hub replacing as it’s getting hot and dropping off WiFi signal a few times an hour
