@virginmedia morning, your text service seems to have stopped talking to me and we’ve spent another week with no service. Who can I speak to?

I cannot believe that our @virginmedia internet is down AGAIN. (Same issue last week) Working from home is made nearly impossible by these jokers and not a wird of apology. With a holiday coming up I have a lot to do, @virginmedia are doing their best to increase this work load.

@virginmedia your sales team are the biggest bunch of #fraudsters I’ve ever dealt with! Phone us to offer a better package and you have taken our package and completely messed it all up! #CustomerService at it’s worst! If this is how you treat a loyal customer of 14year, I’m off!

@virginmedia hi I’ve received a written response to a complaint from VM but with no way to reply other than the usual customer service number which doesn’t offer an option for this. Can you supply another telephone number or physical address to reply to?

Type That Talk…
(@Age_of_Aquarius) reported
@virginmedia @virginhelp I have no need to check the service checker, the internet service Virgin provides for my particular household has always been poor. It constantly goes in and out of the various devices linked. Like my smart tv as I type this message.

@virginmedia The pavement access point has been there for months…. The work to get from there to the house has not been done and no installation technician appointed apparently. This tf was ordered on 2nd April with a fixed installation date confirmed for 4th May-didnt happen-now no service

@virginmedia Have been calling daily - each time told it will be today- never happens - been told every time that engineer’s will call an hour before they arrive - never a call … I work for the NUS and also have many things I rely on on the broadband and including health reporting.

(@michellepryde) reported
Looking to reduce our Virgin Media package soon. Nearly £180 a month! Just need to find what packages they have and hope that we can cancel our landline which we never use so don’t see the point in paying for? New customers don’t require one so why should we?

(@timborichens) reported
@virginmedia @ofcom @frometimes with all due respect I’ve done that the last 7 times it’s been down if the past few weeks. You know you have an underlying problem and you ignore it as you do your customers in the area. You engineer are always fixing it and we suffer with no service!

@virginmedia Hi John,This is for media broadband. Its not a dispute. It just needs escalated, which Im told takes 7 weeks. But every time I call they reset the 7 weeks. Its a process issue.

@virginmedia your WhatsApp customer services is shoddy FYI. Retention advisors when they cant stop a disconnection request just say they’re taking a break and will be 5 mins and they let the chat time out so they dont lose their conversion stats. Time after time
