Why is @virginmedia customer service so unrelentingly bloody awful?? Still no call from an engineer, told replacement TiVo box would come by post for it to come out by courier and get notified of this 20 minutes after the delivery window has started and I was at work 😡

@virginmedia my V6 boxes have stopped communicating with each other (in reality downstairs is talking to upstairs but not vice-verse). Anyone who can help?

@virginmedia After speaking to yet another member who stated they couldn’t do anything about it, I said I was going to cancel so I was transferred. The guy I spoke to was for once someone I could understand, he was able to sort my issue out in 10 minutes after being on the phone for 1 hour

@virginmedia Okay so why was I told it would be coming by post in 5 working days and why have I still not had a call from an engineer? Kind of my main issues and you can't blame Yodel for them!!

@virginmedia According to your Customer Service I was informed I was to get a phone call by 5pm on Wednesday. When I rang back on Thursday to complete my order for a replacement box (after being offered a V6 but would have to pay installation) I was told no later than 5pm Friday.

@virginmedia @O2 your volt supercharge is a con! Why has my virgin media bill doubled and I’m being charged for making changes to my bill, none of this was mentioned to me this is a breach of contract im not paying almost £100 just cancel my package if that’s the case

@virginmedia I suggest you feed this back to Customer Service as I very much doubt I'm the first customer who's been misinformed on this. The engineer was supposed to be calling about my ongoing intermittent service issues, with both TV and internet.

@virginmedia hi are you having problems in NE34? Our TV has been down since around 10.45am with error code V53. Can’t check service status online as your site appears to be unavailable.

@virginmedia why am I having daily and sometimes multiple outages with your broadband service? Checked service status which always says everything is fine. It's so fine I need to switch off WiFi on my devices and use 4G. Thoughts welcome.

Well since complaining on here about @virginmedia and their terrible phone calls last week I’ve had 5 calls in the last three days all trying to sell me the same upgrade. Absolutely this close (fingers mms apart) from cancelling with them completely. FFS sort it out!

@virginmedia Done that many times, no notice that system will go down. Due to Covid can't go to office so WFH yet broadband doesn't work or TV. This happened for 4 hours on Friday in my area and now again, what am I paying for?? I would like someone to contact me asap about this!!!!

@virginmedia So you’re trusted to stall for time with customers but not trusted enough to access Virgin’s other systems. Says a lot about your poor employer. I’m assuming you’ll be trusted enough to raise a complaint on my behalf?…

A Slight Return
(@ASlightReturn1) reported
@NadineDorries @virginmedia @O2 Please provide minuted evidence of this and a reason why UK Govt is asking such stupid questions of the EU. Because the EU can't dictate charging policies to private companies - just as UK Govt couldn't with say, PPE, testing charges, etc, during the pandemic.

@virginmedia I’ve been trying to cancel my broadband since 9.30am this morning. Eventually transferred to the retentions team on the chat and have received no reply for over an hour! I just want to cancel!

@NadineDorries @virginmedia @O2 This is untrue. And the move bu Virgin etc., is a packaging issue. Similar to the fact that for £8 extra a month I have free roaming in Brazil, US and Australia.

@BorisJohnson @virginmedia @O2 Well, either you're an idiot or you think everyone else is. How is it a good thing that only two companies isn't making it more expensive to use a mobile abroad? All your empty promises turning to dust.
