@virginmedia @virginmedia I’m glad it sorted itself out as the customer service woman said id need a new hub which she said she’d order and would arrive Tuesday (6/8/19). Which it hasn’t. I’m glad I didn’t need it #virginmedia

@virginmedia I signed up and got my install on Saturday the 2nd. I was trying to login to my account via the App and through a webpage with me not hearing anything regarding my first billing process And it's not letting me do so I just get an error message saying that my user does not exist.

@virginmedia Almost like you didn't read my original message... Your stock answer STILL doesn't ring true, just repeating the phrase I quoted in my original message to me again doesn't help one little bit

@Virgin_Victoria @virginmedia 1hr and 10mins later after speaking with CS they have confirmed that they cannot help me with my matter and a ticket has been raised which VM will be in touch with me by SMS within 5 working days. CS loved talking too me when I signed up a month ago. #virginmedia

@virginmedia Unfortunately not, I even gave two phone numbers and an email, just want to know if there is an issue local to me or if it’s a network issue, I can deal with downtime but drop outs and high latency really are frustrating, can’t really have another half a day off work...

@virginmedia Just also discovered that even though I was told I wouldnt pay for gadget rescue & then I was charged in error. Called last weekend to sort and was told it was sorted, I’ve just been credited £5 rather than the £20 paid for initial set up. I am SO tired of this. Please fix it.

@soundoftheatom @dec1878 Don’t go to @virginmedia My 78 dads doesn’t work or his broadband. He is deaf and can’t talk to them on the phone but they won’t send an engineer out. Happy to take his money though. They’ll sit up when I cancel it tomorrow

@virginmedia shocked and appalled by the rude and aggressive manner of one of your agents just now during an unsolicited sales call.

@virginmedia <sigh> suppose I really shouldn’t have thought that you would provide a good customer service experience based on my experience of my recent dealings. Sad; Virgin Media used to be pretty awesome. Disappointed.

So @virginmedia don’t understand my 78 year old deaf father cannot call them. They call me as asked out of the blue and tell me they can’t fix the broadband problem, they WONT send an engineer out and I’m getting upset because I’m not hearing what I want. They got that right x

@virginmedia I experience this problem all the time. Our phones dont connect, our internet randomly drops out, this isnt a new problem. Just a frustrating one. Everytime we 'monitor it for a week then check back' nothing is ever fixed. Its just a bad service in general.

@virginmedia hey guys lost complete internet service in ST3 area, router states: Provisioning state: Offline and internet (Access Denied) 😔

@virginmedia 2/2 when modem mode was suggest I was just told it “turns off WiFi” - no help on how to fix. VPN is common from domestic WiFi - you should be clear and transparent to customers that you don’t support rather than charging for gadget rescue for something that can’t be fixed.

@virginmedia It was with regards to my services.. When I phoned about it the lack of professionalism was horrendous.. When I mentioned the lack of professionalism I was basically told what is your problem. Awful really

@virginmedia apparently I have to be at my dads house. Well that would be a long shot as I live 20 miles away and have to work. So they WONT help a 78 year old deaf man. Richard Branson. You’ll be 78 one day and no ****** will help you.

@virginmedia I’ve followed the text service option. I’m now in another ‘estimated 4 hour queue’. I joined one of these this morning, waited for 5 hours and then got cut off. I’m on the phone again and waiting for the text reply. Very painful and disappointing experience @richardbranson

@virginmedia I have spent over 1 hour online chatting to one of your customer service team and they are basically refusing to do me a better broadband deal ! I’ve paid for over 4 years with no new offers & they are trying to make me pay more because I’m an existing customer ffs !

@revpeterlaws @virginmedia We had someone turn up one Monday claiming to be here to read the church gas meter. Had the van and the uniform copied perfectly. I pointed them towards the crypt. Pity about those loose stones on the steps. The groaning ended after three days so didn't disrupt divine service.

@virginmedia getting extremely angry. Pay for fast internet yet it always cuts out, goes slow, isn't compatible with my iPad. How are we meant to work from home with this ****?? My mother in law had to go to the bank and use their Wi-Fi as it wouldn't work in her house. Very poor
