@virginmedia honestly your customer service is disgrace. your advisor gave false info to get a sale last wk as confirmed by your advisor on my call today, repeatedly put on a silent hold with no signposting so it sounded like been disconnected, blind transferred then systems down

Virgin Media called to offer me Sky Sports for £15per month and I'm literally waiting to see who we sign before I decide if I'm gonna pay to watch us get our pants pulled down every other week.

@virginmedia twice now in a week where i have had no tv/broadband , once when it was off for over 12 hrs and now it suggests we wont have a service until 4pm tomorrow. Not good enough. I pay a subscription to watch live sport and i cant watch it. I want some form of compensation

@dearbhaiiile @virginmedia They seem to have no concern for accessibility either, with phone support pretty much being the only option. Not great for those who are hard of hearing or have a communication difference IMO.

@virginmedia They asked to speak to my mother even after repeated attempts to explain that she is deaf and dumb. Having my mom speak down the phone to them in such manner is very humiliating for her and my dad. The incident has left her very upset

@virginmedia Price compared to speed and reliability don't compare, WiFi coverage is awful, loyal customer deals all but non existent, customer service terrible. My gripes with VM are vast but what other choice is there 🙄

@virginmedia I am a existing customer and everyday for the last few weeks I keep getting calls from Virgin Media. I do not want anymore calls. Shame you can't have more staff answering your customer service line instead of using covid as an excuse for long wait times

@virginmedia I CANNOT GET INTO MY ACCOUNT TO SET UP A NEW PASSWORD. YOU ARE SHIFTING THE BLAME TO CUSTOMERS WHEN IT IS CLEARLY A VIRGIN ISSUE. And yes, this is = to shouting. As you would do without email for 18 hours and no sensible help.

@virginmedia are the worst regarding the way they treat customers especially deaf customers like my parents. I'm so angry right now it's ridiculous but @virginmedia will not care one bit.
