@virginmedia utterly appalling customer service once again. 15 minutes on hold to cancel a contract miss-sold to me.

@Poxo01 We have been battling rising costs and poor service with @virginmedia for years. Have argued down the contract repeatedly due to issues. Just got the internet and home control stable again and then get another price increase letter. Fed up with them.

Spent 45 mins on the phone to @virginmedia to agree a new contract. I didn’t receive the confirmation email as agreed so rang up to check only to be hold there was no record of it and they couldn’t honour it. 10/10 customer service there 🙄

@virginmedia Your website now shows: Network issues might be affecting TV and broadband services at the moment. Our engineer is working to fix the problem. Broadband is working again...

@virginmedia Price rises, overseas call centers, the time spent on the phone listening to the nausiating voice. Suggest you look at social media and learn about your shocking reputation and customer service. Im out !!

@virginmedia Your an absolute joke of a company, you charge me £50 a month for broadband and it hasn’t worked for the last 2 months, 4 people in our street have the same problem but yet when an engineer comes out they claim they’ve fixed it when they havent,sort it out,disgrace.

@virginmedia Nonsense. If you valued me as a customer I would not have gone through 3 months of unanswered calls and when I did speak to staff- accusations of lying. Check your records before cut and pasting bland replies.

@virginmedia Tried the text service. No response. So in the unlikely event of an engineer visit later, at least I tried.

@BankerJase @virginmedia I’ve yet to deal with a Virgin Media team that provide decent customer service. Which is why I’ve given up on TV/Telephone. Broadband will only last if they maintain a service.

@gaz112 @virginmedia That'll be the same @virginmedia that sends passwords out by post, complete with other sign in information. They're pretty much a joke at this point.

Anyone else experiencing DNS issues for certain sites. UK based. I’m getting unresolved errors via virgin media net but ok via mobile data. #dns #networking

@virginmedia broadband down again. Obviously a network fault, but system has booked an engineer visit. Given that my contract is up for renewal and the cost has nearly doubled, I think I am in the market for a new provider.

@ChrisScottBtn I’m fed up of this process year on year with an ongoing problematic service. Three complaints, two left unanswered. And then the onus is on you to chase! I cannot be bothered with them anymore. That’s the level customer service I’ve come to expect from @virginmedia now.

@virginmedia are you really going to charge us £200 because we broke our contract, when it is you who won’t provide the service to us when we’ve moved house?! Appalling way to treat customers who have been with you for 10+ years. We certainly will never use your service again.

@virginmedia really disappointed in the ongoing poor service you are providing Wifi is terrible & although entitled to 3 boosters was provided with 1 which has made no difference to the poor speed/quality Can’t speak to anyone as the system set up is to avoid any customer support

A Virgin Media Technician has to come on the morning to see why our WiFi is not fit for purpose when having Zoom calls, (the picture on sound degradation is so bad that it's unusable), but it takes them 4 hours to get someone to you. Virgin Media "Turn On, Get Pissed Off!
