  • AnnieThwaite
    Annie Thwaite (@AnnieThwaite) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia Hi, you recently accepted me as a customer and then due to engineering issues cancelled my contract before the service had begun. You ran a hard credit search (!) on me, and as you didn’t provide me with any service, I’d like you to remove it.

    The one and only time we get any decent customer service from Virgin Media is when we decide to switch provider

    Mike Harding (@venoztks) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @JNRaeside @virginmedia same in SW17 - random drop outs usually for about a minute... makes it really difficult to work... we have max expensive deal - fibre optic - and terrible service...

    @virginmedia hi guys, I'm in North London & having issues with my WiFi. Keep getting IP Configuration Failure message, yet all the lights are on/blinking correctly. Tried a factory reset and still not working. Ethernet is fine but none of my devices will connect to the WiFi. Help

    @virginmedia Thanks, but that's what I've been doing for nearly 14 days. Someone will message to say they'll help, but then there'll be no other contact until the next day when a message asks if I still need help. It keeps happening over and over, so I need to get it sorted now. Thanks!

  • PaulaMu14796554
    Paula Murray (@PaulaMu14796554) reported

    @virginmedia And please don’t ask me to call the number as I have phoned several times and tried the web chat but it’s impossible to get a reply. My last call was cut off after holding for 48 minutes. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced.

  • Anniversary
    Lara (@Anniversary) reported

    @virginmedia Awful service hour long phone call to be hung up on. Loyal customer for years and you try raising my price £12 whilst offering new customers a cheaper and faster deal

  • JulesCox1959
    Julie Cox (@JulesCox1959) reported

    So @virginmedia called tonight to offer us a tv package, once I said our router was poor and the signal strength was weak he hung up!! Very strange....

  • veradeacon
    Vera Deacon (@veradeacon) reported

    @virginmedia Contstantly from 7am until after 4pm, your text service is awful, wait a ridiculous amount of time for a reply and get nowhere! 😡

  • TakeAimCoach
    TakeAim Ltd (@TakeAimCoach) reported

    @virginmedia Performed 2-3 times in the past month. Same issue exists. How can the hub range reduce. We had perfect coverage through the entire house with a steady 150mb signal... we then upgraded and an engineer came to balance the signal but things were immediately worse. So many complaints

  • BittermanAndy
    Andy Patrick (@BittermanAndy) reported

    @virginmedia By the way... STILL not had a reply, more than a week later. You said I'd get a prompt reply from one of your staff. You lied. You flat-out lied to me! I'm since having *even more* problems, but can I get hold of anyone in your company? Disgraceful customer service.

  • BoydDubber
    Boyd Dubber (@BoydDubber) reported

    @virginmedia Okay. So how will the forum get a manager to call me about my complaint that I have been waiting months for a callback to discuss? Please do tell me.
