  • Stephen12857059
    Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM

  • kevmaslin
    Kev Maslin (@kevmaslin) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia The ideal resolution would have been for VM to return the document as originally promised. We have dealt with other companies in this regard and all have been prompt and professional. Even the DWP accepted a photocopy of the POA. Why VM couldn't is entirely beyond me.

    @virginmedia your treatment of us over a Lasting Power of Attorney issue has been appalling. Your people have actually SHREDDED a document costing hundreds of pounds despite us being told it had been returned. CISAS has been invoked and your CEO will be told . @MoneyTelegraph

  • timhazelwood2
    Tim Hazelwood (@timhazelwood2) reported from Bewdley, England

    @virginmedia He has called a few times and I called once. They say there is an issue in the area. He's been without service since July and they said the issue would be resolved on 21st aug. ive been away and it's still not fixed. It looks like an issue with the box to me as a layman

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia And this is why, I'll be reporting you to trading standards for fraudulent misselling/misrepresentation and then abdicating ALL responsibility/accountability to resolve. There's no security/DPA issues in you giving me a direct dial number via DM. You just don't want to resolve.

    @virginmedia It’s ok thanks, one of your team rang me, was extremely rude then hung up.

  • timhazelwood2
    Tim Hazelwood (@timhazelwood2) reported from Bewdley, England

    @virginmedia my dad is a pensioner who has had no TV service for more than a month. We have called numerous times and not had resolution. Can someone please contact me to help sort this out

  • Phil_Bonna

    @Angela_Griffin @virginmedia I have the fibre optic broadband for £23.95 month and the customer service is great

    @virginmedia Another fail. Well done 👏🏻

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Just to let you know, I've taken the time to write out another complaint via the link. I've submitted and it says 'nothing to see here'. The link says response within 7 days, and the submission says 28 days, and then my portal says I haven't raised a complaint. ANOTHER FAIL

  • KittykatClaire
    Claire B🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    @virginmedia I guess it's not your. Problem. After pushing me into a contract with them. I've been in touch with them and there nothing they can do they just want me. To turn my mobile on and off again

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia No. Already done it about 7 times without any luck. I refuse to waste more hours in queues, only to rehash my issues to another anonymous operator. I've been assured that this is in the hands of a named handler, who didn't call me back as promised and is ignoring my emails. Fail

    Quite possibly the worst onboarding and customer 'care' experience I've EVER had @virginmedia Unfulfilled promises, failure to deliver contract as agreed and now I'm 'lost' in the system and being ignored. I'm left with no choice other than to 'out' you. #CaveatEmptor

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Another fail. I've reached out in exasperation since my chase-ups of 14th, 19th and today have been ignored. As have my 5 messages to your local rep who promised to be on hand. If you can't be bothered to help me, I'll just escalate via another route @richardbranson

  • KittykatClaire
    Claire B🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    I'm so pissed off @virginmedia blackmailed me into signing my mobile contract with @O2 by saying my media account would be cheaper. If I stayed with virgin it would be amount more. So I had no option but to go with o2 and No my mobile Internet is crap. I can't use my doorbell

  • Stephen12857059
    Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I called 150 today to speak to a Supervisor regarding my bill. I was told I would receive a call within the hour. NOTHING. I agreed a contract 18/8/22 and the last two payments have been £65 & £75 more than agreed. This is shocking customer care and service.

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Alternatively, if you feel the urge to actually be helpful, you can search my name and location (it's an uncommon name) and ask a complaints manager to contact me. No security issues or breaches, since the notes I've been assured are on file, will be there to check.

    @virginmedia the most unreliable service going! Sky should be rubbing their hands together knowing that this shower of **** is their main competition.

  • EvanD
    Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate. My account has notes regarding the reason why the credit was given last time. Ideally I don’t want to wait so long for the same issue to be fixed.

    @virginmedia why is your broadband so slow this weekend. I pay for 200mbs and it’s barely scratching 2mbs 3 tests out if 4 and the other is only 70. After your recent work things were meant to get better.

  • al_quiz
    Al Powell (@al_quiz) reported

    @virginmedia A technical fault repeatedly kept ending the call after being put on hold? I can stand poor customer service, but you’re starting to sound like Boris with these lies

  • Spend_Less07

    @virginmedia @demzi18 I have just tried contacting CS on 150 ‘we are unable to help right now, please call back’!!!!!!!

    @huskyguy89 @virginmedia Fr they need to fix their **** I ain’t gunna pay them for doing nothing 💀

  • huskyguy89
    twitch (@huskyguy89) reported

    @s60cg @virginmedia I've gone through so many forum posts in Virgins forums of thousands of people having the exact same issues. We all do BQM checks and they all show major spikes in latency continuously. Virgin say 'everything is fine, we won't do anything' It's total garbage. It was fine before

  • putasinghonit
    Bally Singh (@putasinghonit) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve done everything you have suggested over the last few weeks, but no one ever seems to answer the phones for me to discuss an upgrade or service call. Your customer service as dwindled over the years. A shame to see.

  • TheMuncho
    Cormac McCarthy (@TheMuncho) reported

    @virginmedia WiFi in Drumcondra is constantly dropping. Any idea when it will be back? Tried restarting the router but didn’t help. Can someone look into this?

  • WireGreg
    Greg Cook (@WireGreg) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and I get a text message saying that it can’t be done and it gives me a number to ring which then puts me on hold for over half an hour and cuts me me off. Your customer service is appalling.

  • San17travel
    San17 (@San17travel) reported

    @virginmedia Well once again your reply proves that Virgin couldn’t care less about their customers. It must be great hiding behind your keyboard and initials. I still do not know how I can speak to someone to sort this out. Should I just cancel my direct debit?
