@virginmedia another poor lengthy phone call with one of your customer service advisers following being mis-sold your services. Refusal to listen to our original telephone calls where we were mis-sold the service and refusal to accept any responsibility.

Well laters #virginmedia I will be off to sky when the contracts up next month. Terrible service, no TV again today and yet you still call me everyday to get me to take out another contract.

@virginmedia No not aware of status line please advise. No interest in community support forum. This is an issue with your service and equipment. Needs proper support.

@virginmedia and after a previous phone call a few weeks ago where your adviser said we could write a letter of complaint, we have still received no response in writing as requested and today been told it’s not your policy to reply? Terrible service!

@virginmedia This is the exact problem. Your agents deny there is an issue in the area. A recent social media post revealed many people in our neighbourhood have the same issue. All your agents want to do is ‘send signals’ to our router and restart our router. Nobody taking issue seriously.

@virginmedia Just wondered if I’ve waited long enough yet for anyone @virginmedia to care enough to respond to me? Still no forum response. Still not complaint response. Still line issues. Just lies from your SM team.

@virginmedia Yes dropouts Ethernet and WiFi. To be clear that message was not our engineer. Just proof prob is beyond our home. That neighbourhood thread is 14 comments long! We’ve had 2 engineers out. Cable replaced and hub replaced. Problem persists. 4 dropouts this eve alone.

@virginmedia Your agent told me 72hrs. But then I was also told if I post on the forum I will get support. But we can all see how that has panned out. Just. Fix. The. Problem. Why is this so difficult? I guess copy/paste apologies are just cheaper than dealing with the real issues.

@virginmedia can anyone in the UK retentions department actually listen to a call and call a customer back? I've tried calling this morning to check progress after more than 2 weeks and the people answering the phone can't understand what I'm asking I've been hung up on 3 times

@virginmedia I get that. But several people on there have logged issues. I haven’t used that tool but try it. But issue is defo at your end as between outages speed/latency is brilliant and other people have same issue on street. That’s why I’m so keen to fix not leave as usually gr8 service.

@virginmedia on top of hundreds of spam junk emails we have umpteen scam calls on the landline. Very day I am getting increasingly saddened by Virgin Media’s inability to stop scammers and spam flooding my system. Very expensive terrible service

@virginmedia do you have ANY customer service people working? I have tried ringing you for the last 24 hours and constantly get a ‘ring back later’ message. The service these days is appalling. I sent a tweet yesterday that mentioned Amazon and they replied to me. Virgin didn’t!

@virginmedia Yes have posted in forums - no response, called, live chats, SMS. full works. Engineers even told us prob is not at our property as far back as Oct/Nov and neighbours have same issue but nothing is done, call centre staff are rude and treat you with contempt. Ref is C0912202465

@virginmedia December. Official complaint prior to that. Please read back through your thread, the broken promises and the lies then come back with a proposal to resolve.

@virginmedia Still no response. 19 days and counting 🙄. It’s clear you’ve been lying to get rid of me. What are you going to do to resolve this issue before I contact ombudsman? A suggestion: you arrange for someone to contact me. By now it should be clear to you your support doesn’t work.

@virginmedia Also kindly explain why after finally arranging for engineer to complete service that it took for me to highlight a extremely dangerous trip hazard of a loose cable under outside step which another engineer had to return to rectify?? Just pathetic!@
