    @WhichUK Thread below a snapshot of my frustration with Virgin Media customer care & their complaint handling process.

  • redsoilgirl49

    @virginmedia Have tried 3 more times to get through with the same outcome. Paying a lot of money for no service and no customer service!

  • nrjs1000
    Nicholas Seymour (@nrjs1000) reported from Countess Wear, England

    After weeks of problems and discussions about WiFi connections, @virginmedia have just advised me that I should arrange my Zoom meetings for 7am when the traffic is lighter! Been very disappointed with them altogether. Leaving after 15+ years.

    @virginmedia Hi. Following up the comment above. I have heard nothing from the team. Your complaint handling process is broken.

    Trying to talk to get a change to our @virginmedia account. 5 weeks, none of the promised call back & now they close our account without telling us. If this is how they treat long term customer avoid like the plague!! #customerservicefail #broadband

    @virginmedia Please advise how to remove/reset a Virgin Media online account as original login details all out of date. No help on website, live chat or text so please don’t suggest these.

    @MartinDaubney @virginmedia I've heard negative stories.about them downhere. Again around service. Dread to think what will happen with Flybe, if Virgin supply shoddy service.

    @Yoshi107422871 @virginmedia Yes they say they will raise a complaint but nothing comes of it, no call or e-mail followup

    @virginmedia next to no 40….. of course it may not be your box… nobody else wants it, or wants to help!

  • gjp12775
    Graham Palmer (@gjp12775) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    @MartinDaubney @virginmedia I would be going to an Ombudsmen. Shocking service. I'm with Sky, really great service.

  • LizzyLoly
    Liz Loly (@LizzyLoly) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get hold of someone to establish why I cannot login to my account online and why I have been overcharged. Despite being told several times that someone would get back to me in 24 hours it never seems to happen. Please advise how I can reach you.

    @danslee @virginmedia That’s shocking customer handling Dan. If it’s any help I’ve actually found the guys @TalkTalk pretty good especially on tech issues around broadband.

  • cherylblackmini
    Cheryl 💇 (@cherylblackmini) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    @virginmedia I had my WiFi and phone installed back in June , the box outside my house was broken so your engineer connected to my next door neighbour, and was told it would only be for a week , I have phoned numerous times and just get ignored . Atrocious service!

  • MElcoate
    Martin Elcoate (@MElcoate) reported from Topsham, England

    @virginmedia As per many comments in this thread I have suffered at the hands of terrible VM customer service. Employees don’t seem to have the tools to do a decent job. So many pillars & posts to be passed between. VM ok when it works but if you need help...

  • ShonaClarke9
    Shona Clarke (@ShonaClarke9) reported from Newton Abbot, England

    Not happy with Virgin Media at the moment. No WiFi since Saturday. Tried calling and got nowhere as the call centre is closed. Don't need this during self isolation. Does anyone else have this problem. Not good enough Virgin Media.

  • MElcoate
    Martin Elcoate (@MElcoate) reported from Topsham, England

    @virginmedia Follow me and I will send you my account number by DM. Someone just needs to look at the call notes and text notes to determine my complaint. I’ve already used web chat.

  • brexit_blue
    Gordon (@brexit_blue) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Try dealing with @SkyUK Ben. Indian Call Centre! No words! After 30+ years as a Sky customer our Sky contract was terminated in December all because we moved home and needed a Sky Stream box instead of Q but cost increase was staggering so terminated. Never heard from Sky again.

  • Chriss_m
    Chríss (@Chriss_m) reported

    @emma_blingo @Benleo @virginmedia Very, very common. I don’t know a single person who gets the speed (consistently) that they’re actually paying for. This, I think, is a huge scandal that’s never really looked at.

  • RosyPosy_kitteh

    @IamCarrieagain @virginmedia .@virginmedia truly shame on you, do you realise how difficult it is for disabled people to be without the internet, unbelievably bad practice, and after the difficult time you also gave to my elderly Mum I’m glad not to be a customer too, if this is the way you provide a service.

  • frantruth
    Frantruth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 (@frantruth) reported

    @Benleo Trouble is, Virgin Media isn't British owned. Regardless, it should be written into law that if you provide telecommunications to British customers, the call centre serving sales and customer service must be based in Britain.

  • MICKLE_M
    Michael (@MICKLE_M) reported

    @virginmedia could you please supply me with a contact number please. You are telling me I have to upgrade to anew box , however when I sp yourself 2 remote controls rather than 2 boxes. Your app is ridiculously poor. Give me a number please

  • Luv_Farmers
    Chrissie (@Luv_Farmers) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I'm surprised that an investigative journalist even accepted these conditions in the 1st place. VM has an awful reputation for this kind of behaviour which is widely known. Sorry this happened to you but it was to be expected

    @MRWayneLaws @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp the misery i’ve had the last year , damaged my rating [their fault], arrogant customer service , i paid 9 months to get out early , still getting hassle . i feel your pain , just bullies

  • Benleo
    Ben Leo (@Benleo) reported

    What this comes down to is Virgin Media not wanting consumers to be able to skip adverts anymore using pause and rewind live TV. I assume they get more from advertising money when people are forced to watch adverts on their streaming boxes. Fine, I understand that. But lying and misselling and treating customers like this in order to achieve that is unacceptable.
