@virginmedia another horrendous customer service experience today. Extortionate fees, vastly inadequate communication, hours on the phone listening to hold music, impossible to even log a complaint..for a company that’s premise is to ‘connect’ you’re doing a pretty atrocious job.

I would like to tell you about my experience with @virginmedia. With them I have had the worst customer service in my life. Phone calls left on hold for nearly an hour at a time just getting to through to a customer service person only to spend every conversation arguing with...

@virginmedia Can you explain to me how the rest of the village is having issues and I need to book an engineer? Seriously?

@virginmedia We have checked and as I said previously it said to book an engineer. However, the rest of the village says it out also so therefore, I presume it is a larger issue. How do we get this fixed?

@tom_will_banks @PlacesLeisure I had a similar issue with Virgin Media. Cancelled my subscription and randomly 4 months later they started taking money from my account. I got a refund but I just though how sneaky..

@virginmedia I have done everything your online help suggests, I have done the automated help guide and by text and yet my wifi still doesn’t work properly and you have hung up twice on me after 44minutes each time. Losing faith. #sortitout #ineedanengineer #ineedanewbox

£15 to watch each football match that's not scheduled to be televised? **** off @premierleague you greedy bastards. no way I'm paying that. i already pay £110/month to @virginmedia as it is. I'll just watch other sports instead.

@virginmedia Can you recheck. We are all getting different times for repair In Hamble. Some even said that they were told Thursday! Unacceptable, do we all get refunds for the down time?

@virginmedia so, I have run the tests and it is saying I need to book an engineer but the rest of Hamble seems to be down too so it doesn’t seem it is just my issue. Can you please tell us honestly if there is an issue?

@virginmedia Are you having a lot of trouble with wifi in PO5 area these days? Our wifi has either been down or really slow lately. Today it doesn’t work at all, which is very unfortunate when working from home.

What a shocker, seems @virginmedia are totally inept at any and all forms of customer service, response or acknowledgement, across all media channels. So as a Virgin Media customer essentially be prepared to spend the rest of your life on hold for someone to ignore there too!

@LewisClayy @virginmedia She then put me through to customer services who she said will be able to process the order. 1/2 hour later they answered to be told that technical will need process the order and will have to put me through. I have to say @virginmedia I’m sick of BTS and Carly Rae Jepson now

@virginmedia Hi John, we don't have an ethernet cable, we use wifi only. The main hub wifi is back up as a network option but unsure at this point how the connectivity is. I will test again tomorrow while on calls for work. thanks

@M4ttmc87 I caught 2 mins of virgin media, can’t take much more than that. “ no Covid cases in James hospital since 2020 “ the staff can breathe a sigh of relief.. I’ve been there multiple times since last year, and never once were they overwhelmed, quite the opposite. Just lies....

@virginmedia Signally called. Nice agent thankfully bright too. Resolved. Maybe you need tools to help in these scenarios.

@virginmedia Hi I called again today and they have a vague response. Said I just have to wait. I’ve been without reliable broadband since April, some days have none at all and still being charged. They haven’t been very helpful. In fact I’m some cases rude. Even though I would never be.
