@virginmedia we have been trying to arrange our virgin services to be moved to our new house since 23/11/20. We were supposed to get a call back from one of your guys yesterday to help with a self install - no joy. Since yesterday I’ve spent over 3 hours on hold, been.......1/4

@virginmedia The hold times aren’t the issue. I’d wait happily if I got an answer at the end. The issue is being hung up on after an hour then having a call answered only to have to listen to dead air for over 30 minutes while whoever is supposed to be helping has forgotten to logout ....1/2

@virginmedia Another issue is if I were to get a phone call in a weeks time I cannot just stop the job I do to answer it. Where will we be then? Having worked for Virgin I know exactly what’s going to happen. This won’t get sorted until my new bill gets paid for services I don’t want ....

@virginmedia The text messaging team that says it aims to respond within 4 hours but hasn’t responded to me since 11am yesterday? Basically I have no option now but to sit on hold in a queue for 30+ mins to fix a problem you’ve created by not upgrading me. Your customer service is awful.

@SkyHelpTeam We haven’t been booked in. Following some quick and informative enquiries, @virginmedia can install a new service in 3days; yet, a @SkyUK engineer can’t come out to us for over a week? When we pay a monthly small fortune, this all feels like terrible customer service

@ALANMYERSMEDIA @virginmedia Absolutely incompetent. Takes an hour to speak to someone, they then tell you you’re through to the wrong dept and pass you back in the queue. Took me 2 months to sort my internet out recently. Awful service.

@virginmedia Bet you anything they won’t I’m sorry to say. Never known a change in contract to take a week. Normally done there and then on the phone. The lady didn’t mention anything about this being the case. What now? I’m not waiting a week I’m afraid.

Nearly a week after signing up to a new contract with @virginmedia they’ve still not upgraded my speed to what we agreed to. Their Twitter support refuses to acknowledge the issue and my complaint hasn’t been picked up yet. I guess they don’t care once a contract is agreed.

@virginmedia No i can't see it, scan says no issues as the issue is only with WiFi. It's down again its insane. Doing full reset to factory setting see if that helps. But no link to report fault on my account

@virginmedia There’s no known issues. I shouldn’t have to spend 30 mins on hold trying to get through to you to have an issue corrected that hasn’t been done as part of my contract agreement. Shouldn’t you be able to call customers when you have an agent free who can make outgoing calls?

@virginmedia Hi John. Still no resolution I’m afraid. It’s getting closer to next bill date. Which BTW I’ve received two bills for. One at £27.49 and the other £113.00 and a double bill request which is laughable! I still don’t get why the next gen box is influencing my request. Today please

@virginmedia ....before going to lunch. Your system is set to terminate unanswered calls after just over an hour. This is much more enraging than having to wait in a queue. We’re British, it’s what we do. We DO NOT HANG UP on people. It is beyond rude. #rude #virginmediasuck #stillnointernet

@virginmedia I get the same result hard wired with Ethernet too. It’s not a wifi issue. Also I’m not sure how wifi would decide to ignore an increase in speed and decide to limit itself to the old speed coincidentally. Someone on your end hasn’t enabled the faster speed to my property.

@virginmedia It’s NOT an upgrade which I made clear on the phone. Again, no mention of this being the issue.

@virginmedia Hey @virginmedia , can we arrange you to call people back rather than sitting in a queue listening to terrible music and running up mobile bill costs?

@virginmedia what's the best way to report a fault without having to go to offshore fault peeps and go through off the turn off switch on again? My WiFi is horrific, and only affects WiFi intermittent service and it disables. Done all the usuals it's knackered WiFi on router.

@virginmedia Hello there KF, thank you for getting back so promptly. Did ring back and got into your billing support. I then started to explain to the guy about my bill changing from £28 to £53.50. We probably talked/argued for 20 minutes with no joy

@virginmedia It's too much of a jump.... I'll now be paying over £100 a month if i stay, that's not affordable. However been on hold now for over an hour to your on line chat to leave..... customer service is also dreadful!!

(@theollyolsson) reported
@virginmedia He transferred me to a contract specialist who sorted it out in 5 mins, and credited me the difference back into myaccount that I had paid, the guy I first talked said they needed to investigate first,did mention he was in Asia and it’s a poor country but thanked Virgin for a job

@virginmedia @TwoPaddocks It would be lovely to watch something on Virgin - considering we're paying for a non existent service due to a faulty box. Despite spending nearly two hours talking to incompetent staff, a replacement still has not arrived.

@virginmedia @LutzSchueler @virginmedia I cannot explain the level of frustration this diabolical level of customer "service" causes. Why do you persist in overseas call centres who cannot resolve what should be straight forward issue.

@virginmedia No. Left hanging online for an hour with no reply. I have sent an email of complaint. Given this was part of your effort today to change my mind about leaving...not going well.
