@virginmedia think you need to understand your customers are your business shocking speaking to your so called customer service team today didn’t care that my service has not worked now for a month, after a so called engineer was in my home for 5 mins saying all working 😢

@virginmedia receive a final account for £63 and that would be the end of things. The final account never arrived however the outstanding account has been passed to BPOB collections who bumped it up to £269.96. I have paid the account off, so sincerely hope that Mr Branson 1/3

After 48+ hours I’m still without any phone service. Despite being in contact with customer support at @virginmedia for over 48 hours. Had to buy a temporary @EE SIM card in the end. Fed up and frustrated to say the least.

@virginmedia Finally got through. Total loss of service - not expected to be fully back on until 29th of August! That’s nearly a week! Your service is appalling and you have the gall to be charging more. We will be looking at changing suppliers immediately.

@virginmedia But it keeps happening time after time and it is so difficult to get through to a human being (someone in a call centre in India) & when you do there’s no explanation of why it keeps happening. I run two small businesses and am reliant on a god quality reliable internet service.

@IanSlaterPhoto1 @libertygal72 Nope, the bank issue you a new PIN, it's not the same as knowing what your old PIN was. The issue isn't do much the post, it's storing passwords in plain text which @virginmedia have repeatedly claimed they don't do.

@virginmedia I’m afraid you’ve used the new deal trick before and look where we are. I am stuck without internet for a week and paying for a poor and inconsistent service. The server for my postcode M210ZN is down. Yet my wife who was working less than a mile away had no problems.

No internet again @virginmedia must be an idiot to pay £51 a month for this crap. Not for much longer.

@virginmedia Thanks. I’m doing online checks at the moment. There are no problems in the area according to your checks. Just seems to happen a lot. It’s very frustrating and trying to speak to someone takes forever.

@virginmedia you have just lost two loyal customers of nearly ten years. Countless internet connection problems & today was told the latest may not be fixed until August 29th - yet you are proposing another price hike. Appalling.

@virginmedia just spoke to, hands down, the rudest child I’ve ever spoke to. Morgan in the cancellations department. Seriously he was lucky we weren’t face to face. Little brat.

@virginmedia Morning. He said he was calling from one of your call centres (overseas). That’s as far as he got as I put the phone down when he asked to speak to the man.

@rajivnath @virginmedia Only moments now before virgin say it's down to you to chase Yodel. 1 - you can't, Yodel are useless. 2 - It's actually down to Virgin as any contract for delivery is between the two companies and doesn't involve you.

(@Kaybeexx) reported
@virginmedia day 3 of trying to move my number to Virgin mobile. No service at all. I am an senior nurse with on call responsibilities alongside medical issues which means I need a phone line. I am unable to speak to anyone in person - as no phone line. 2.5 hours waiting on line

@virginmedia Your online customer support is a disgrace. I need to change engineer visit time. Got told just do it online THERE IS NO WHERE TO DO THAT ?

@virginmedia I don't have another handset and the issue is also affecting my next door neighbour so it can't be a handset issue

(@Mando_Nottm) reported
Not happy with @virginmedia. Rang tech support following a change of SuperHub and spent an hour on hold and then the line went dead half way through being helped. OK these things happen but why no call back. Do they think I waited an hour and then gave up when they answered?!

@virginmedia Thank you for the response and the ensuing conversation. Customer service should always be about the customer, not the agent #customerservice

@virginmedia omg your service is terrible. I’ve been waiting 3 months to get it installed properly and no one at your customer services can help. Sick of phoning now. Wasting hours of my life. Still charged me £170 so far though. Happy to take money but not help customers.

@virginmedia No. whenever there is an outage In the area, the diagnostics tells you to get stuffed and wait. It’s back on again now. Just the inconvenience of it always happening when it’s my downtime. Now I’m a parent and husband again, it’s back to doing those things.
