@thealisonedgar I would understand if they offered a service and I was choosing not to take it. They can’t offer a connection in London - it’s not the outer Hebrides. Leaves a bitter taste. Will never go back to @virginmedia

@virginmedia We've been calling since the 28 April to try to fix this, told wait a week we are doing something. Waited, nothing. Called back, same thing, wait a week. Nothing.

@virginmedia Virgin Media services - you should treat existing customers as nicely as you do new customers.

@virginmedia I am not disputing the validity. I am stating that this is dreadful customer service. You cannot offer a connection and therefore I have no alternative. This is reflective of your lack of coverage. The poor customer service certainly means I’ll never be back. A very bitter taste

Anybody want to hear about how awful @virginmedia are? No, didn't think so. It's old news.

@MartynJohnPR @virginmedia I’m half way through an 18month contract - so it would be slightly more to let in run out. So frustrating as they’re saying it’s a disconnection fee but are the ones forcing me into it as they don’t offer the service

@virginmedia Hello, we called last night about our fault and repeatedly asked to be escalated to a manager, as this is ongoing for a month. No-one would, one member of staff even laughed and put us back in the queue. So not sure how a DM is going to help now.

@virginmedia Prehaps it would be better if the customer service line was set up to service customers? Not laugh at them and try to sell them business accounts as we are working from home in a pandemic. I guess I'll invest more time trying to solve your supply issue.

@LDesesperes @virginmedia Customer service is terrible, no point in making a complaint as they say they'll contact you to discuss but never bother. As soon as an alternative option comes to our address we are leaving

@virginmedia As I said, I am aware of the contract - however it reflects very poorly from a customer service perspective. You can’t offer a service to the capital city and want to charge me for your lack of coverage. Shocking business practise. #avoid #ripoffbritain @bbcone

@virginmedia We clearly stated that our intermittent issue, connection dropa multiple times a day and stays down for 30 mins at times, happened on both wired and wireless connections. Your operative tried to sell us a WiFi extender for an extra £5 a month - a huge rip off and fixes nothing.

@virginmedia getting these emails saying “we are sorry you are leaving” but I didn’t cancel my service with you guys. Should I be worried about it?

.@virginmedia my Virgin TV Go app hasn’t worked in 2 months. No luck uninstalling and reinstalling it, nor when I called your tech support for help. Any ideas?

I love @virginmedia ‘s new initiative to get customers to reduce screen time and experience world. As a customer you will be connected to Virgin Media wireless whenever available and have absolutely no data at all.

Terrible customer service from @virginmedia . Don’t offer coverage at my new house and want £250 to cancel my existing connection. Would be happy to take it with me but they can’t offer a service (that should be their issue not mine). #dreadful #avoid

@virginmedia Signal as a whole; router drops to less than 1kbps and remote IP changes like it's trying to reconnect. A power cycle seems to correct it but think I'll need some watchdog program and remote switch to do that if the signal drops and I'm away from the house.

@virginmedia Worst customer service for the last month. Noone seems to be able to help in the whole of virgin media! Currently on a call thats up to 1 hour 25 minutes and still can't find anyone who can sort our account out.

@virginmedia Accessing your customer service has been one of the worst experiences I’ve had with a utilities provider. Your online systems have glitches that cause appointments to be lost and it is impossible to speak to someone. Can you arrange for someone to call me?

(@dodsy1) reported
@virginmedia I think I will need at least another one as I have two bedrooms with no signal and they r opposite sides of the house as well as other rooms. In fact my signal only reaches 4 rooms with a booster so it’s really bad. but if u can send one I can get my daughter back in her room

@virginmedia Don't hold your breath, I raised this problem on 27th December 2020 - and it wasn't for the first time either.

@virginmedia My flat have been trying to cancel our contract for the last 2 months, we've been unable to get through to anyone ever after complaining and waiting the 28 days you say it may take to respond. Please please please help us.

@virginmedia I cannot connect to that link you sent. The MacBook that keeps dropping out we have to connect via ethernet which is not overly convenient for work - we get internet dropout when it isn’t. Sky go is poor streaming and skipping.
