    @virginmedia what is difficult about transferring my Internet to my new address? I have spoken to your agents umpteenth times, received confirmation that my request has been received, but still no internet service after nearly two weeks...this is really annoying.

    @virginmedia why are your customer advisors refusing to let people leave? I keep getting hung up on within a few minutes after they've transferred me between each other a few times. This service is shockingly bad 😡

    UAVHive (@UAVHive) reported

    Virgin Media simply do not seem to grasp customer service, I really fear the damage the merger with O2 will do to the service there. Penny pinching over a bereavement is proof of a fundamentally mismanaged customer service.

  • SirPuppetPaul
    𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 (Sign name: Puppet) (@SirPuppetPaul) reported

    @MichelleBeckett Truly awful. I worked in customer services for a very long time and @virginmedia just needs to get better. It's never about the profits, it's what you're doing for the customer. Put yourself in Michelle's shoes. How would YOU like to be treated like this?! I'm sorry Michelle.

  • DinaGlyphs

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Newsflash, @EE is also ridiculous with shady contracts. I hope you never get to cross hairs with them.

  • Samet_UK
    Samet (@Samet_UK) reported

    Wifi has been down since 1 am and there still hasn’t been a satisfactory explanation for the issue. They just share a link for me to check if there’s an outage in the area. It says there is one, but no more information. It’s been nearly 12 hours. @virginmedia

  • SulKalra
    ✦Kael✦ (@SulKalra) reported

    @JackHansenFIT @drunkandcoding @InternetH0F You are aware that many companies take multiple measures to make it hard to cancel a subscription right? For example in the uk, virgin media is under fire for multiple cases of them actively blocking customers from cancelling their broadband so they could switch to something else

  • adam_luxon
    Adam Luxon (@adam_luxon) reported

    @theashrb It isn’t at all and they’ll still think they can get away with it. The government should intervene in this matter to ensure that all public goods cannot outsource their customer service. A few months ago, I had a horrible call with virgin media after my contract finished

  • ChrisJordan1002
    Bob (@ChrisJordan1002) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Virgin Media are unambiguously the worst company I’ve ever dealt with. They had the recent ruling against them for a reason. Profit over Compassion every single time…

    @youfibre After being with Virgin Media / Diamond Cable / NTL for over 3 decades.. I was worried about switching. Well, I made the switch. 1000mb Up 1000mb Down £25 for a 12 month period. Zero downtime as I post. AMAZING. Keep this up. TOP TOP Service Provider.

    @virginmedia your service is absolutely terrible. Several messages, phone calls and still not resolved my issue

  • superpaddiepads
    estevén (@superpaddiepads) reported

    @LessGrumpy @virginmedia Whenever I’ve had issues with Virgin it’s never been a UK call centre I’ve spoken to. Tend to avoid now but just left again after a couple of years of thankfully issue free broadband. Moved to PlusNet which is Openreach rebranded but far cheaper.
