@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 I’m sick of resetting that hub it’s supposed to be 100mb fibre I had less trouble with my dial up! Do you supply boosters as you can take it out before I spend money to make up for your awful service

@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 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 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.

@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

@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 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 @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 just had the misfortune to speak to the rudest person ever whilst trying to sort out my abysmal connection speed when she put the phone down on me after a 20 minute wait!!

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 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.

@virginmedia Hi, we called again and we now have an engineer visiting tomorrow. I don’t know why it has taken so many attempts to get to this stage, but hopefully this can mean a resolution! Wireless.. apparently too many devices. But when modem mode isn’t working after a few minutes

@virginmedia I have reported this to support and have raised a complaint. The problem is when dealing with Virgin Media support in private they use every trick in the book from gaslighting to bait and switch to straight up lying, which is really unpleasant so I'd rather talk in public.

@virginmedia Same on a PC. And with Firefox. I also now know what the problem is. I’ll tell you when my final bill refund cheque arrives. I believe it can take up to 30 days.

@virginmedia Morning Virgin! I have attempted to contact your customer services for the last week to no gain. I wish to cancel my contract within the 14 day cooling off period. I've been waiting on whatsapp for 3 days with no help and rung countless times. #badcustomerservice

@virginmedia We've been trying to close our account with you since our contract ended in November. We sent you a letter. We've spent hours on the phone to your off-shore call centre. Still you keep billing us for a service we're not using. How do we make it end?

@virginmedia There is no way to cancel our package online. Your website says to write a letter (which we've done) or call the call-centre (which we've done several times) and still we keep getting billed, months later. I just want somebody to confirm that our account is closed.
