@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 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.

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 <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.

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

@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 Weve had an engineer out, he replaced our router then buggered off. The problems kept happening even with a new router.. its been months of calling & faffing around trying to get this problem fixed & still nothing, its a joke.

@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 I’ll cancel the contract and they will soon be on the phone with threats. Bring it on. I’m ready for you

@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

@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.

@virginmedia @markmantas Seems to be a lot of unintentional cutting people off after waiting around an hour on the phone to cancel. Strange that.

@Alex9869 @virginmedia Exact same position. Agents are rude, lie about the company I'm moving to. Now when I call the calls don't connect. I've called 4 times since yesterday to give notice. I'm glad I'm leaving!

Lisa
(@lisa_tooley) reported
@virginmedia I didn't say you wanted to cancel I'm asking how to cancel when everyone keeps saying I need to add TV or take a discount then tells me I need to speak to cancellations. Every time I speak to cancellations. How do I cancel if you're deliberately preventing me?

@virginmedia either your business is being run by people who sleep 24 hrs a day or you’re a bunch of crooks! How can you have a service where 99% of correspondence is with an automated computer?
