Lucy Hedley (@Lucy__Hedley) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia I was told that I would be called back by a manager #lies Now due to further incompetence you have cut off my Internet & phone service. Claiming that I haven't paid a bill when there's a direct debit set up! #diabolical service. I've never been treated so poorly.
-
Trai Anfield (@TraiAnfield) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia @virginmedia service from you has been poor for months - missing the footie is just the last straw. Kindly send an engineer to fix our broadband - the wires at the wall outside are exposed and when we test each day our speeds are below 20MB/s when we are paying for 100+ Thank you

Gareth Trainer (@ghtrainer) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia Then when transferred to ‘customer care’ so that I could complain and seek compensation, I waited another 20mins and was eventually cut off without speaking to anyone.

Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia I have called them twice today still having issues
-
Gareth Trainer (@ghtrainer) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia Thanks for reply. Problem was that no agent ever responded to move requests via the bot. I sat for 1hr on the phone last night and finally got it booked. If the bot had worked 1st time I’d be switched on when I move. Now I’ll be without service for a week. Not good when wfh!

Luke L Alexander (@97LukeAlexander) reported@virginmedia I can't find where the complaint is on the MyVM app
-
Luke L Alexander (@97LukeAlexander) reported@virginmedia Says the complaint is still open, I'm actually shocked by the two people I dealt with. I accept VM isn't perfect, which is why I renewed my contract and even after the issues after carried on trying to work with VM to fix everything.

Graeme Williams (@MrGEWilliams) reported@virginmedia Hi. Buffering, lag, and dropouts with an Ethernet cable connected. All the usual steps taken and had an engineer out. Other customers online seem to focus on the problem being the hub.
-
CrumpetLips (@CrumpetLips) reported@virginmedia Just tried to signup for MyVirginMedia, told my password is too long? Are you for real? I only tried 13 characters. Wtf are your devs doing if they can't handle a 13 character password? What's the technical explanation as to why you can't handle a "long" password?

Coliboo 💙 stay safe (@Coliboo) reportedHi @virginmedia do you have a regulator? Despite sending a text and letter to give notice, receiving a letter back (referring to ‘complaint’) and 2 calls to me to confirm leaving (which you wouldn’t accept from me as my husband is on the account) you’re now claiming you have no

Sarah Grant (@SarahGrantish) reported@virginmedia Hi Virgin Media, trying to cancel my contract and am unable to get through to anybody. I have transferred to someone and can hear them breathing down the phone, but nobody is talking? Please advise
-
adam (@adam18809027) reported@virginmedia Virgin incorrectly reported missing payments, put a Default Notice on Equifax account without first telling me and my destroyed credit rating, which was excellent before Virgin’s machinations. I wish I had never returned as a customer and wouldn’t have if I had know beforehand.

Leonard Sultana (@lennyukdeejay) reported@virginmedia Hi there. I'm now a @VirginMoney account holder, via my previous Yorkshire Bank Account and the app tells me there can be benefits towards my households VMedia account.
