    @virginmedia No they have not. If they had done what they’ve advised they’d done, the complaint should be linked to my account? Surely?

    @virginmedia thank you for keeping me on hold for the last 35 minutes then disconnecting me. I really didn’t have anything better to do on a Friday evening. Useless customer service continues

    @virginmedia You’ve sent me a link to explain how I can raise an official complaint. One option is to give you a call? Something I have now tried on 3 separate occasions. Did you not read the thread? #Virginmedia

    @virginmedia So you’re telling me that because 3 separate members of your staff have lied and not raised a complaint when I’ve asked, I now need to send you a letter? Are you joking? #VirginMedia

    @virginmedia Yeah apparently an engineer been working hard to fix it, was meant to be fixed by 16:30 now saying 20:30

  • geoff_undrell
    Geoff Undrell (@geoff_undrell) reported

    @virginmedia It’s the router that needs replacing. It no longer powers up. Apparently there is no way to ship a replacement until an engineer brings it to me in May. Please help - surely a new router can be dispatched before then? This seems ludicrous.

  • dale_archer
    Dale Archer (@dale_archer) reported

    @virginmedia Spent hours on the phone. How can the community help !! Why hasn’t VM responded to my complaint. Surely you can pass this to someone to reply to me !

  • Juggzy
    Juggzy Malone (@Juggzy) reported

    And while I was online via BT (which is how I had accessed the @virginmedia chat where I was told that there was an intermittent and area fault affecting only ... er ... me) I was sent a signal from the hub via thehome WiFi (which is still working) which killed that connection.

  • JnrAppiah11

    @virginmedia 2 days no service... fix up!

  • skashax777x
    Skasha (@skashax777x) reported

    @virginmedia how ever after multiple calls and undue stress, I finally have an engineer booked who will be able to see the issue first hand and that it is the box it self at fault

  • HazelCathrin
    Haze🕊 (@HazelCathrin) reported

    @virginmedia I am SO disappointed with your service!! You delayed my installation date from 23rd March to 2nd April, then sent someone over to just say you can’t actually do it today!?!? What on Earth have you been doing the last 2 weeks!?

  • Wilty_3
    Wilty (@Wilty_3) reported

    @virginmedia Of course. Your customer service is useless & u can’t resolve a thing. Last phone call I repeated the issue 3 times, slowly & clearly, & the staff couldn’t understand. I gave up & hung up. My contract should be null & void cos u can’t provide even the most basic customer service

  • brooklands911
    tony (@brooklands911) reported

    @virginmedia Well its not happened as expected for the 3rd time,its a issue from October and still not sorted now, have opened up 5 complaints on your site , each time with them its closed after 4 weeks with no contact

  • geoff_undrell
    Geoff Undrell (@geoff_undrell) reported

    @virginmedia The outcome is that no one can do anything until May. We’ve established the box needs replacing but apparently you can’t send me a replacement until an engineer comes with it. I’m a home worker and this is a major problem 🤯 I’m left to try and buy a second hand one on eBay!
