THE WORST customer service @virginmedia, should be ashamed of treating loyal customers the way a member of staff has just spoken to my mam

What an absolute farce @virginmedia are. Pay a ridiculous amount each month for slow broadband that regularly doesn’t work. Now on to a second day with no service and TiVo is also down. Pathetic.

@virginmedia Then when transferred to ‘customer care’ so that I could complain and seek compensation, I waited another 20mins and was eventually cut off without speaking to anyone.

@lxwissssss @MartinEdition @virginmedia Mine is excellent once they replaced the wiring because it was old and now mine never goes off and it’s super fast! The English call centres are great but the Indian and Philippines ones are really bad I avoid them because they just read off scripts!

@virginmedia hi a few folks on our street keep experiencing drop outs of WiFi signal in the middle of the working week, a few of them have made contact with you but no issues are being found, and you don’t seem to be able to help? but there is clearly an issue?

. @virginmedia rang virgin last week to move house. You've done the external install yesterday but haven't turned up for internal install today. Tried to log into my account and it says my package is cancelled no options for support at all. Called and hung up on before answer.

@virginmedia And it has just cut out again and your bot via the number above just said restart the router and put the phone down on me. Slightly concerned that it lasted 5 days again and decided to come back to disconnecting?

@virginmedia Thanks for reply. Problem was that no agent ever responded to move requests via the bot. I sat for 1hr on the phone last night and finally got it booked. If the bot had worked 1st time I’d be switched on when I move. Now I’ll be without service for a week. Not good when wfh!

@virginmedia I was told that I would be called back by a manager #lies Now due to further incompetence you have cut off my Internet & phone service. Claiming that I haven't paid a bill when there's a direct debit set up! #diabolical service. I've never been treated so poorly.

@virginmedia @virginmedia service from you has been poor for months - missing the footie is just the last straw. Kindly send an engineer to fix our broadband - the wires at the wall outside are exposed and when we test each day our speeds are below 20MB/s when we are paying for 100+ Thank you

@virginmedia @83_soph This is David - Sophie responded to my orig tweet. I have now sent my complaint through to VM Complaints, Sunderland. Hopefully something positive will come of it. Can’t believe the mis-sell by your sales team. Not earth shattering but very annoying.

@virginmedia After all the time spent dealing with the issue I took the Agents (both!) advice and paid more for the Sky Movies so that it wouldn't affect my existing Contract (made crystal clear!) and they advised me to call back to give 30 days notice to cancel the Sky Movies I am now told

@virginmedia - another triumph! I couldn't solve my slow broadband using your website and now you've sent me a survey to fill out about my experience - but the survey link isn't loading. Magical!

(@chris_doyle86) reported
@virginmedia we were told that our self installation box was being sent today, cancelled our previous package so they didn't overlap. You text ON THE DAY to say there's an issue with suppliers. Can you not reactivate the previous boxes? Over an hour to speak to someone is a joke.

@eric_hawkins9 I keep getting calls from 'virgin media' on my mobile. It's odd that they can never tell me the phone number on the account. I always try account verification with cold calls.
