    @reddersmufc @Ofcom @virginmedia It's awful! I'm sick of calling customer services and getting through to someone who cannot understand basic English language and goes on talking about something else. Then try to speak to three different advisers to raise a simple issue/complaint and they refuse!

    @virginmedia Yes. No human tone. No customer service. The usual have you tried changing the batteries in your phone, could it be your handset etc ( they bought new ones 6/7 week ago thinking it was them) may be they should ask Virgin Media to reimburse them

    @drummerwhitey @northernsky67 @virginmedia Steve it was a last resort for me but other avenues were fruitless, I ended up getting a visit from an engineer , a booster and a reduction in my tariff after I told them I’d leave , normal customer service is dreadful, keep on pushing them

    @virginmedia absolutely awful service. So much for looking after elderly and vulnerable customers. Trying to sell services that are not needed or wanted.

    @virginmedia You should be keeping an eye out for this sort of criminal activity, creates profiles for most large UK companies so they can reply to any complaints and get the customer to download software so they can compensation…and rob them. Report them to X

  • BenChubb4
    Ben C (@BenChubb4) reported

    @virginmedia Ive now been told that to get my ticket number, they will need to raise a new ticket further delaying the original problem resolution date. That cannot be true and doesn’t work like that in other organisations who use tickets and escalation points through a CRM system

  • choc1982
    Claire Wilson (@choc1982) reported

    @virginmedia I am absolutely disgusted in the service I have been receiving over the last week. I have been with you 12 years and calls have been cut off. WhatsApp chats have been ended while trying to go over offers. Which may I say are shocking. You get nothing for being loyal.

    @entrustTMF @status_is_down @virginmedia Ours has been over a week, and they have just extended their estimated fix time to the 27th. That’s another 5 days, during a tube strike and I can’t work from home.

    .@virginmedia your award winning broadband in area 06 has not been working since 3rd April... Intermittent signal in your area, 12 hours of broadband & no wifi for 2 weeks is not acceptable, you should be paying compensation for loss of service! #virginmedia

    BigF (@Bigg_F_) reported

    @virginmedia Engineer replaced the Hub. Intermittent internet was still a problem after that but has been good for the past 4 hours. Fingers crossed.
