@virginmedia Does anyone at Virginmedia ever actually answer phones? Calling from my parent’s number, supposed to be listed as vulnerable/priority. No answer for over 40 minutes! The hold music is torture, and zero indication of how long the queue is! Your customer service sucks!

@AksTailor @virginmedia When I had some issues like that I haggled a month or two of free Internet from Virgin until the issue was resolved. Convincing them to do that took an infuriating number of phone calls but it was a satisfactory outcome, I've stuck with them.

@virginmedia Always but it makes no difference. There have been issues where I live since the start of lockdown. I have made a complaint but it’s gone no where.

@virginmedia Friday I booked an engineer as the WiFi on our hub keeps dropping. At the same time I upgraded my package. This includes tech help. Since Friday I've had no WiFi. I tried website chat but got dropped I've tried calling but was waiting too long. I'm getting bored!

@virginmedia It's not an issues according to the site. It's working on wired connections. I'll be looking for compensation after this. If the costomer tells you there's a problem then take their word they're the ones paying you, why would they spend money other than to get what they pay for.

@virginmedia That is a good question. Incompetence? Poor customer service? I am just writing an email to Mr Lutz Schuler, and he will hopefully be able to help.

@MartinSLewis After ten years as a customer with @virginmedia all i can advise anyone is to AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Upgraded to a phone I never received and now i'm stuck with a 24 month contract for a phone that's never been active. The worst customer service i've ever experienced. Leave now.

@virginmedia I will attempt one more call (because the first five didn't exactly get me anywhere) Then after that, if it is not resolved... I'll be looking at alternative solutions to dispute the service received. Ironically, twitter team has already been much more helpful than on the phone

@virginmedia my contract has run out so my discount ended and gone up to 67pm. I was offered same price and same package. why would I renew at that price when I could let it roll over. mentioned speed can come down if that reduces monthly cost but said it wouldnt

@virginmedia Out of interest, how does VM determine the best deal possible deals should only go to new customers? I've spent the equivalent of two new customers over the past two years. What made my broadband service twice as expensive to provide? That's what disappointed me today.
