@virginmedia when is someone going to ring us back after the failure to apply the package to our account we sorted on the phone yet still hasn’t changed or a manager ringing back to deal with the complaint. Shocking services but soon quick to mailing bills out!

@virginmedia Broadband/TV outage until 2:35pm but can’t register a loss of service as page doesn’t load. On 4G so problem is with you. Why advertise you’ll compensate if there’s no way to get it?!

@virginmedia Still not helpful once we have paid what you told us after not applying your contract! Been told it’s the agents error on a record call and then saying it’s invalid, and prepared to offer new customer better than current! Massive complaint in writing your staff on phone shocking!

@virginmedia Yeah, we have been charged wrong for the past two months even though the account was clear when we entered a new contract with you, now we been challenging it since August! Told manager will ring and then they don’t and then you charge us wrong, and then to make your customer

@virginmedia So why then a) does it specify postal and b) not provide a field for mobile number. At best it’s misleading and at worst incompetent

@virginmedia honestly... your call centre/arranging anything is absolutely shocking. Twice had something arranged, twice its not happened and wrong things noted. Please sort out your call centre. This poor engineer has just turned into a complaints department

@virginmedia Also given that link is for postal marketing how exactly does that help with phone calls? As it stands your systems are non-compliant

@virginmedia still no broadband in bb3 area since Thurs & update now says tomorrow for fix. Shocking customer service, why can't you tell your customers what is happening instead of saying an engineer is on the way on the updates, at least then we would know what to expect

@virginmedia my internet has been suffering drop outs all day, now I have no working TV or internet. Being told it's my equipment when it never is, it's getting old that excuse. I will apparently have to wait 3 days for "an engineer to come out" - I can't I have to go to work 😤

@virginmedia Yeah I've seen that already thanks, but it's not going to help the kids with accessing homework online. no I am not on a B account as of yet as I have only just started out in the last week 😑 but even if I was on a B account it would still be off so doesn't make any difference

@virginmedia You haven’t applied the contract you sent out and the balance on our account is double the contract charge and your advice said pay in full to speak to someone if not it tough. And then said it would then be credited on the account. Your advisor are no help.

@virginmedia There isn't anything that could help with the problem because I don't fully understand what everything is or means etc It could do with a technician to have a look, something similar as happened before and you sent a technician out

@virginmedia bb3 area: internet has been down since yesterday morning & update it's not going to be fixed till tomorrow. I have a online business to run & kids need to do their homework online, can't stream any tv either. Can I ask what the issue is & why its taking so long?

@virginmedia Service even worse you demand full payment and then will credit our account for your error and breach of contract! Your customers service staff rude! Demanding money before we can speak to anyone well I wonder what a solicitor would have to say with copy of the breached contract.

@virginmedia £150 a month and the internet doesn’t even work. Amazing. Can’t wait to cancel that.

@virginmedia We aren’t getting anywhere and you cut us off. This has to be worst service, if I performed as your advisor I would be sacked! How do we get to resolve the issue via the above method?

AVOID @virginmedia AT ANY COST! Royal Mail have now lost my phone and VM are refusing to honor the £128 trade in quote, instead are offering me £28 for the lost device, how does Virgin continue to scam and mislead customers at every step. This is an issue between VM & RM, not me

@virginmedia Whats the point of this, you are wasting my time once again. I have gone through this and been on calls, nothing gets recorded against my account. I am tired of the terrible service provided by your organisation

@virginmedia @BBCNews @BBCWatchdog ... I called multiple times and they just hang up on you. If you read the tweets they are so sorry for everything but then just send you to their site to sit in a chat Window. ...

Never using Virgin Media again. Absolutely shocking customer service, takes hours to get through on the phone so I tried the web chat and it’s currently unavailable? How am I supposed to discuss my account if I can’t get through? All they care about is money

@virginmedia I was just told there was a fault in my area and they are working on it. But when I do a service check in my area it just says the TV is down, not the broadband.

@virginmedia Nice try. This does not state if you have 1 IP address with 2 NATs, 1 for the hotspot and 1 for the customer. Which is what I am trying to clarify. That FAQ is for users, not engineers (in the wrong country trying to troubleshoot something.)

@virginmedia Thanks, I've been registering the outages as they have been happening. Ideally, I'd like to terminate my contract as this is now ongoing every couple of days, could you please let me have a contact number where I can do this. Cheers.
