@virginmedia I am waiting, for 15 hours so far. Am thinking of ringing the upgrade or new phone line as I'm sure I'll be dealt with straight away then. Ofcom will be able to advise me I'm sure with help of @MoneySavingExp

@virginmedia Please can you call me. I am ready to cancel if this is not resolved today. Your service does not meet even the minimum standard required.

@virginmedia The complaint should not be closed down as ihe said that a team member would get back to me with a resolution to the complaint and a gesture to me, and then if i was happy with the outcome the complaint would then be closed.

@virginmedia I am away in Europe again from tomorrow and need a service that works. I have been on hold for 30mins several calls and your assistant cut me off despite a promise at the start of the call that they will ring straight back should the call end. I’m still waiting 2.5hr later!!

@virginmedia I called the mobile team at the start of the year to put a £5 cap on my mobile contract which my daughter uses but have now received a bill for £29 and discovered the cap was never put on. CS on the phone insisted I've never called about this but I know for a fact I did....

@virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria Call charges are not as bad as the wasted hour on the phone and another long wait ongoing now for the text help service to respond. Seems @MoneySavingExp forums are correct about difficulty leaving. All I need is a PAC texted or emailed to me and I'll be on my way.

@virginmedia not long after that because I immediately received a high bill but was told it takes 30 days to set up, so I accepted that. I've messaged & emailed about all this before & gave up because of poor or non-response. It's frustrating. I'm very busy and don't have time to keep chasing

@virginmedia My home WIFI is always quicker than when on mobile data. My wife’s @VodafoneUK network always receives first and quicker than your network.

@virginmedia I think my wife would like someone high up to call her. As she is inconsolable at the moment. She has been passed from pillar to post on the phone for the past 90 mins and is still on the phone. My wife has some major health issues and no one seems to want to help.

DENIM
(@denimscott) reported
@virginmedia Was msg along lines of "no longer available". Have been told it's the channel provider who's done this. 851 & 852 have gone from yourselves. We can now watch recordings from the stations, so something has changed from earlier. Issue now would be that HD takes up a lot of space.

@virginmedia I booked an appointment this evening (for Friday morning), but didn’t book one beforehand as I was specifically told by your customer service that there was a problem in my area and engineers were working on it? Is there no record of this?

I wish Virgin Media / All4 would use the same servers to deliver streaming TV programmes as they use to deliver the mandatory adverts. 3 minutes of crystal clear beer commercials with never a problem, followed by errors, 4 times out of every 5 attempts on my V6 box.
