@virginmedia Not impressed, area service is restored but my service is still down. Engineer booked for Tuesday - do you really call this service!!!! I seem to have ongoing issues with Virgin Media - seriously considering changing my provider.

@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

@UxbridgeLord @marxistniklas @Jim27371416 @DansTweeterings @jeremycorbyn @virginmedia There'll be nothing stopping you from buying it in the future. Not sure what your issue is with a policy that gives other people something you don't want, and which doesn't cost you anything.

@dgrutsch @virginmedia @SkyMediaUK @virginmedia has lost direction and customer focus IMO. After trying to tell me there was no fault in my area, before agreeing for an engineer to visit and check system (multiple faults) it proposed sending a pack of cables for me to try and fix myself. Err I don’t think so!

@virginmedia , have been a customer for many years, my recent experience of your customer service was appalling and no empathy shown or value for my custom. I said your service makes want to leave, I was told that’s my choice, so leaving

@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!!

@virginmedia I ring and get hung up on after being on hold for 6 minutes. I just want what I was offered on Friday. I am not very happy with the customer service I am receiving at the moment and will just walk away. I have been a customer for 10 years and get no perks just bigger bills

@virginmedia It was a terrible experience. 3 different people over a period of 1 hour 20 minutes. I had to explain the situation 3 times. You need to review your Customer Services approach as today it appears broken.

@virginmedia Transfer, he moved today so is really panicking that he cannot contact anyone. I can’t even check if the service will be available in his new home

@virginmedia just love paying for services which I'm not getting! Seriously sort it out or I will be going elsewhere. No tv, no internet your service is an absolute joke!

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

@virginmedia Really need to consider my options and look at other service providers - ongoing intermittent service for a week now and keep getting fobbed off by you CSA's - I think you may want to consider reviewing your customer services. #badcustomerservice #virginmedia

@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 Cannot access my account online, forgotten my security question so cannot call, it’s my elderly dads account I set up for him. He moved today,none of your staff will help me as I don’t have the answer. He has now moved, has no contact to outside world, please help!

@laaqpr @virginmedia The new one is. “It’s all gone through” Then never receive an email and still paid what you are paying with the “system” saying I never called

@virginmedia Was not anticipating having to leave when i called in, was unhappy you increased my monthly charge and had not been advised. Was told you could do this and there was nothing you could do to rectify the overcharge. Been a loyal customer for 8 years and got treated this way

@BenGy_Kent @virginmedia @idriselba When big companies off shore call centres to poor countries it is often Scammers will work within legitimate buildings amongst genuine workers so when raided it's difficult to know whose partitioning in on illegal activity in terms of info they probably do pass it around

@VirginMediaIE @EmmaP46714206 @virginmedia I don't have an account. Agents tried to sort the problem last night but they were unable to do so.

Calamity Jess
(@JessMay1505) reported
@virginmedia They say the person on the phone only made a note to switch the phone lines but I verbally confirmed with him that the package would be cancelled. We shouldn’t be being charged £100s becuase someone wrote something down wrong. Don’t you have a recording of the call???

Dr Laura Bennett
(@DrLauraB_HE) reported
@virginmedia ...terms in the post. But you say it must be email or SMS and that I can just agree it! This disenfranchises my relative who has full capacity but email makes them anxious. Obvious inclusive solution: use post and hold deal open to allow time to reply. No joy. Not inclusive. 2/2

@virginmedia No way, I'd need to call that number again! I've already shared my experience here. It's up to Virgin whether this is investigated to improve such poor customer service. Happy to be contacted to provide further feedback, but no way I'm calling that number again!

@virginmedia I’ve just called to cancel my broadband package and your operator hung up on me. Every interaction I’ve had with customer service has been horrendous. Please have someone contact me and cancel my order. Worst broadband service I’ve ever had!

@virginmedia Also, Virgin make it as difficult as possible to cancel. You call, then they say they're processing it, and then "mysteriously" never come back to the line. Avoid at all costs!

Shoutout to that @virginmedia costumer service guy. I don't have to fight with y'all now. Sorted until the end of my contract. See y'all next year, y'all better not me up with my internet connection though.
