@virginmedia what the hell is going on with your internet!? I’ve been holding to get through to your customer service department for almost an hour now (after being cut off twice!). I’m ready to cancel this AWFUL service!

@virginmedia This is the exact type of poor service I received when I called customer service. The package I am currently on is £89 for a new customer, but £129 for a loyal customer. The response back was “that’s all I can do”. Your response is almost as bad “don’t like it, raise a complaint”

@nickleeland @virginmedia I asked to speak to someone that could help and got “my supervisor is on 14 day isolation”. Ok put him on the phone as I’m guessing he can work from home? Computer says no! Poor poor service!

@virginmedia ....before going to lunch. Your system is set to terminate unanswered calls after just over an hour. This is much more enraging than having to wait in a queue. We’re British, it’s what we do. We DO NOT HANG UP on people. It is beyond rude. #rude #virginmediasuck #stillnointernet

@virginmedia we have been trying to arrange our virgin services to be moved to our new house since 23/11/20. We were supposed to get a call back from one of your guys yesterday to help with a self install - no joy. Since yesterday I’ve spent over 3 hours on hold, been.......1/4

@virginmedia Hi John. Still no resolution I’m afraid. It’s getting closer to next bill date. Which BTW I’ve received two bills for. One at £27.49 and the other £113.00 and a double bill request which is laughable! I still don’t get why the next gen box is influencing my request. Today please

@virginmedia I don’t. When I submitted the complaint (2nd) I chose the telephone call option, using my home number. I haven’t received any call to date!!

@virginmedia how long do we have to do without internet while you upgrade our service!! Have now spent two days tethered to my phone trying to do business calls! It’s NOT acceptable to be doing this in the day! 10.25pm been off since 9.30am! 😡😡

Truly appalling customer service from @virginmedia. Due an engineer visit today: he’s just rung to say your call centre raised the job incorrectly and he’s not coming as they don’t carry the stock any more. No apology, no lifeline, no empathy. Shocking.

@virginmedia The hold times aren’t the issue. I’d wait happily if I got an answer at the end. The issue is being hung up on after an hour then having a call answered only to have to listen to dead air for over 30 minutes while whoever is supposed to be helping has forgotten to logout ....1/2

@virginmedia What details do you require in any text I send?? Seems a bit odd considering you should already have my complaint and my details 🤔 we’ve established I don’t have a ref number, so further info will assist??

Great work from @virginmedia, your contract has expired, we want you to stay as a customer, we’ll give you the best deal out there! Give them a call, sorry can’t help, you’re on the best package, but we want to charge you £40 a month more than a new customer! #shitshow

Anyone else who gave their details to track and trace suddenly being spammed with fake email accounts, and bombarded with phone calls from fake VirginMedia/BT claiming broadband speeds are up and down?

@virginmedia So me as a customer who don’t know this information, and searches your customer number after you don’t provide your services, been kept 40mins on phone line and then get phone put down from your staff. Brilliant!!!

@virginmedia Nope. Why should I chase it? You want the service to continue. I’m happy to leave. This is all I get all the time. “Ring this number” “text this number” all for you guys to say we will ring you back !!!!

@Marduhk @virginmedia I’m going to bang the drum until they cave. Going to be raising a complaint. Too much money for bad service. The router can theoretically do 255 connections. Yes throughput will be bad but you can’t blast a customer for having too many devices, that’s the whole point!

@virginmedia Trying to resolve a billing issue and coming up against a brick wall and no way forward. My bill increased from £33.50 to £52.50 which I have not agreed to. Can we sort this amicably or do I need to go to the ombudsman to sort things out? Customer service...

@virginmedia Then you need to address this issue. You have obviously sold my phone number on as we only receive calls from them on our landline. Most companies have our mobile numbers and contact us through them. We are being harassed on a daily basis.

@virginmedia Thanks. Really useful to give me another means of being on hold. Any chance you can provide good service and offer to contact us?
