@virginmedia No, unfortunately I never got that far. Seriously considering just cancelling and going with a company that has more respect for its customers. Literally became a client 5 days ago

@virginmedia just the most horrific service ever from you. Your agent agreed a discount due to poor service and to stop me leaving. It now transpires the discount is at the expense of skysportsHD which we did not agree. I’m now having to take it to ofcom because no one can help

@gazza_d @jo2gard @virginmedia They are awful, but the broadband is fast, trick is to never try to communicate with them.

Great what deals you can get when you ring to cancel your contract 👍 @virginmedia a very helpful Hayley in your call centre. Paying less now for more than double what I had before.

@WilliamNB @virginmedia Nope. Stuff thankfully works pretty well but company is proving to be awful. Shamelessly trying to use the breach their sloppiness allowed to wriggle out of the gdpr queries I've lodged as a result of the breach.

@virginmedia Twice but very unsatisfactorily and although I was told at 5.30 that I would receive a call back within half an hour from a customer services manager, I am yet to receive that call. New customer extremely f***ed off if I'm honest

.@virginmedia have emailed me a survey about their handling of my complaint. Nil points all the way. To be fair once I managed to speak to someone she was ok(just) and gave me answers. Trust is so low I don't entirely believe them

@virginmedia Hi I text two evenings ago when you told me too, and then received a very generic response about upgrading my package online. I have since text again to say that the problem is with the increase and that I may need to cancel but nothing back yet. Over 6 hours on hold now to you!

@_simonlambert @GECFrost you said it about virgin media. Maybe it’s just me (King in waiting) but when I speak to customer services a “firm” stooge e.g nice but dim wills intercepts the calls to attempt to mentally turn me over. They are sinister AF. Now I’m locked out of iPlayer

@virginmedia It would help if you read the thread and the attached screenshot. I did email with specific requests under gdpr. That was forwarded within VM and I got a generic dismissive reply which didn't even acknowledge the queries. Further eroding trust in VM

keep left
(@BillyMeaney1) reported
@virginmedia I even had customer service staff lie to me and tell me it was because roadworks were taking place that the pre-install work was being delayed. To then be told that a wayleave form had not been processed, 3 months after being told the work was complete, is ridiculous.

@virginmedia Simply changing account holders and setting a direct debit. After "waiting to be transferred twice" I assume he thought I'd give up and hang up, he said there was a problem on his end and then hung up on me.

keep left
(@BillyMeaney1) reported
@virginmedia Pre installation work was supposed to be carried out on December 7th. I received a message this had been completed on December 8th. An engineer came to install on December 18th, bit found the work had not been done. Since then, it has not been done, and I'm left without service

(@ChrisA) reported
@umwhoslouise @virginhelp @virginmedia I finally got a call back and they claimed there was no area-wide issue because not enough people had complained about it! I suggested that might be because we're all frantically trying to work at home and don't have an hour to wait on hold only to be hung up on.

@LouiseLFC81 @virginmedia Had the same thing last week. Their service recently is what can best be described as “patchy.”

@virginmedia I think that your service going down 3 times in the space of a week, especially during working hours, deserves some kind of explanation. Don’t you?
