@virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it

@Designer_Ross @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia Yeah that’s the issue I’ve come across . Slow download speeds but always reported at just above the payment threshold. It’s got worse recently

@bt_uk you have 45 mins to meet the 10-12 appointment. That I took the day off for. Defo looks like I'm going to be a @virginmedia customer soon.

@virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

Hello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

@virginmedia my Mam has been trying to sort her mobile out today. As she can’t remember her password or security answer, she has been unable to access her account to cancel it. Can you let me know what she can do?

.@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

@virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

@virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

@virginmedia Still down now, can work from Catch Up or my recordings, but nothing live as there are no channels. Drop outs in WiFi too. Not great.

Well since complaining on here about @virginmedia and their terrible phone calls last week I’ve had 5 calls in the last three days all trying to sell me the same upgrade. Absolutely this close (fingers mms apart) from cancelling with them completely. FFS sort it out!

@virginmedia you issued me with order confirmation and contract and haven’t delivered. 24 hours on WhatsApp support repeating myself and an hour on the phone to be cut off…. Really?!?!

(@PiersLeeParsons) reported
@virginmedia broadband has gone out again, so into day two of patchy internet service which your service status checker on your website refuses to acknowledge despite your hub tester confirming the connection is problematic. 😴

scotty
(@scotty500) reported
@virginmedia Yes of course several times by phone, mail & complaint. They essentially told me I should contact the company you use to deliver the TV to find out what happened. I told them they (Virgin) should be doing that, not me wasting more of my time !!

Kerry Driscoll
(@KerryDriscoll2) reported
@virginmedia Really poor. I provided my name and mobile number to the call handler in case we got cut off. It should be her calling me back, not the other way round. Yet more hassle and upset for the ‘customer’.

(@AnnieCaird) reported
I am v V disappointed in @VirginMedia. I only got this contract in early February but if I could cancel it today and return to @bt_uk I most definitely would! Why did I change in the first place? Renewal price & Virgin's apparently better reputation that in

@virginmedia please please can you help me. I’ve been trying for days to get through to someone re our mobile broadband dongle being faulty!!!!!! It’s on loan from you because we’ve been waiting 5 months for broadband #TerribleCustomerService

@virginmedia 56 minutes on a call to change an account name from my sick father in a care home only to be cut off from your end. Shame on your woeful “customer service”

@virginmedia @O2 Uhhhhh! Never thought of that . Why ask such a stupid bloody question . They come out with the same response ! “ oh we’re working as hard as we can to fix the local mast that’s down “ JOKE ! Well you lumped me with them so my 15 plus years I’ve been with Virgin end Jan 24

@virginmedia No I haven’t, I can’t called from the landline as, despite requesting it twice, no engineer has attended to repair the issues with the landline. But thanks for asking.

@virginmedia @O2 Nooo I’m sick of them ! They had great joy in telling me I’m lumbered with them until 2024 with this **** service . So I will enjoy telling you both where to go then when my combined £90 will be going elsewhere . Customer service , SHITE !
