@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 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.

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 I see. It is very unfortunate as I cannot do my work when I’m not online and I also spend more on mobile internet because the service I pay for regularly is simply not there.

@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.

Shocking service @virginmedia - someone who is not the account holder was able to get our home services disconnected. We have been on the phone repeatedly since last week trying to get reconnected - was supposed to happen by yesterday but of course didn't happen. Please reply.

(@JustRevi) reported
@virginmedia yeah, uncap my line to full speed and i'll stay and maybe offer an apology for the way your customer service treats customers who have a legit problems and not waste their single day off a week for an unneeded engineer visit that didn't fix anything. That's a start

@virginmedia I’m still getting constant calls from your sales team despite not having an account with you for 6 years now. I’ve told them this multiple times but I’m still being called. How can I talk to someone about this? I can’t login to your website because I’m not a customer

@virginmedia Had problems for approx 10 hours!It says we can't see any issues affecting my postcode. Then click through as still having problems, it states there are problems with broadband. Why does it not display problems with TV & landline? When is this going to be resolved / compensated?

William Anderson
(@willanderson93) reported
@virginmedia So we are just completely ignoring the fact that I have had 2 missed commitments from customer service and now you're just buck passing some more to a forum site. Just get the original ticket open and I'd like to be spoken to please

@virginmedia There is definitely already a virginmedia connection at the house as our tenants have it (and we had it before). Am I able to place an order now for delivery of the router on 1st August and the service to start then?
