Hook, England
@virginmedia customer service is beyond shocking. Reps don’t listen, lie and refuse to help. Icing on the cake is my graduate daughter having £123.34 taken from her account DESPITE being told this would NOT happen. Going round in circles. No one ever phones back.

Can I just say again @virginmedia is absolute shite. Had no internet for nearly an hour but “their system is down” so they can’t check it. Piss poor from this company

@virginmedia Thanks for replying TG, it’s back up now, however I do have a registered complaint about being charged £7.50 every month to upgraded to unlimited data on my broadband that has unlimited data.

@dinger3805 @virginmedia It's become a bit of a joke which is not funny anymore as I have lost 2 days pay now because of this given the price we pay. Appualing service at the moment.

@virginmedia We are going around in circles. Your team just go through the same script each time we call. Please arrange escalation to a manager to investigate why your support team cannot resolve issues due to flawed process.

When you ring @virginmedia to discuss your current package... 1st guy ruder than rude... Asked to talk to disconnections and get the best customer service. Turns out there was a deal to be made. Very happy now.

@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!!!

@virginmedia When I phoned and used the chat they said the same thing. We have already called many times so would prefer you to discuss with your team and arrange a callback by someone who can help.

@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

@virginmedia Just done that and again no issues reported. This is the second time this week I have had no connectivity. Just tried a reset and still nothing. How do I get an engineer out as this is becoming tiresome now given the price we pay.

@Virgin_Victoria @virginmedia Thank you. Virgin Boffin says no issues in area. I have carried out 3 x fully resets and all I am getting is flashing areos and horizontal lines.

@virginmedia service is appalling. Engineer arranged last Friday for today. Didn’t turn up. Now told it had been cancelled and we were informed. Lies Lies Lies. Broadband is almost unusabale. Can’t wait for contract to end so we can get sky.

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.

Slightest hint of bad weather and here we go again. it's only slightly damp here but already working from home has failed before it's even started. Think its time to switch ISP as this is becoming all to frequent from @virginmedia.. 2 lost days of work/pay this mth already.

@VirginMediaCorp Any phone numbers for new customers that want to move to Virgin media broadband / TV ' trying to get through on behalf of my girlfriend ' I'm an existing customer 👍

@virginmedia Yes we were working from home at the time of installation and it hasn’t worked properly since day 1. We ordered online but nowhere does it mention it can only handle a certain number of devices. So what is the solution to this?

@virginmedia @Plusnet I’m shocked by the inadequacy of your staff, and I’m tearing my hair out at the thought of explaining this whole thing again, for the 13th time, to someone else who will promise to, but won’t fix the problem!

@virginmedia Three weeks on and no resolution to your mistakes. You’ve taken money, lied and made error after error. And it’s impossible to get a straight answer after hours and hours on the phone. Please contact

@virginmedia the broadband internet in London #N8 is down again for the fourth time this week - please can you resolve these constant issues

(@Neilb1985) reported
@virginmedia Speaking to your online team who tell me to do what you told me on this public forum which is the same as what your customer care team told me so essentially there is no help or care we’re in one large infinite loop of me restarting my router in the dying hope of it working.

Ben
(@G0dsGh0st) reported
I cancelled @virginmedia yesterday after the appalling service. No responses and being told to wait 6-7 weeks for Internet. Appointments were missed by engineers and nothing was done when they turned up. Stay away, there is a reason why they are voted worst for customer service

「Doll」- commissions open!
(@DollDirector) reported
Did you know that if your internet drops down to 0.1mbps up and down, #virginmedia don't see a problem with that cause you still technically "have service"? 🙃
