@lisadunn1978 @virginmedia I have just had hell on and demanded to speak to a manager. At first I was told there was no issue in our area and it was the router then the manager has told me that there is a problem in our area

@virginmedia £20 a month 'existing customer' penalty on the best you can offer me Vs the best new customer deal is just too much, afraid that's a cancellation from a 10 years loyal customer. £240 is a lot of money!

@RevDubbleD @virginmedia Absolutely appalling service today. The attitude of the people I dealt with was staggering for a customer centric organisation.

@virginmedia Tomorrow. This has been going on for over two weeks intermittent but the way I was treated was not the way to treat a loyal customer

@virginmedia I have informed the manager that I wanted to make a complaint and he has noted it. I am just starting to calm down now

@virginmedia It’s difficult to articulate in a tweet but speaking to someone in an offshore contact centre who has a very poor grasp of English is extremely frustrating. There is no malice in this, it’s just a statement of fact, I couldn’t make myself understood, it took 4 calls and 75 mins.

@virginmedia There seems to be a network problem. The box had a green light flashing. Our phones & iPads are connect but the sky boxes don’t seem to be. Can I DM you please

@virginmedia That's all well and good but you have insisted we update our box or it will not work, your website link is not working, text service and chat not responding and your telephone advisor insists I buy a new service whilst your letter states its free! Not paying more for less!!

Cancelled @virginmedia Starplayz subscription as they have no channel number and no app to search for programmes! Crazy and call centre staff don’t understand why this is a problem. Don’t waste £5 a month.

@virginmedia I was speaking with an agent an hour ago due to an issues with WiFi. They said they’d 100% ring me back in 30 mins as we did a hard reset of the booster. It’s been another 30 mins since then and no one has called. #notmyday

@virginmedia No known issues. It’s only wireless speeds. There is no excuse for this, it happens to me almost everyday. I would like to discuss it with someone as I tried at the weekend and was completely fobbed off by your service team. I pay nearly £50 a month and often have to use my 4G

@virginmedia I have received from you an incomplete text message regarding changes to Virgin Media Project and Mobile Rescue Tech support, as from 31 August, but does not say what. What are these changes

@danielpwood1 @virginmedia I don’t have a regional accent so am normally easily understood, I’m also very patient, enjoy speaking to the Indian guys about cricket, but tonight it was unprofessional and my near thirty years service to VM in all it’s guises rendered irrelevant

@virginmedia But it will cost me money to call from my mobile as it isn't a freephone number. Is there not a live chat option so to help me?

@SkyHelpTeam Sky is absolutely ****! After 10 days of not working and no communication, it’s fixed for a few hours and now back off!! This is shocking! Back to @virginmedia I think!!

@lealoupilky @virginmedia @NOW Ombudsman are spot on 👌. Still, shouldn't have to resort to it. It's just poor. Makes me feel better about my decision. Too big to care unfortunately

@virginmedia Thanks for your honest reply it's different when lines are busy and you are on hold and different when someone purposely keeps transfering you disconnecting just because you want to leave. My experience never want to come back to VM even if I have to pay more thanks

(@iantl1000sv) reported
@lealoupilky @virginmedia @NOW Their actual internet connection was god awful here too. Genuinely could give a damn when we tried to find out what the score was. In a smart house, it was utterly useless. Never had issues since. Imagine older folk who just get fobbed off with no-one to fight their corner 🤷

@virginmedia TV issue but why would that affect broadband??

(@mrcj300460) reported
@virginmedia Sorry, may have not made myself clear, @virginmedia are supplying wifi (which is unfortunately poor) & an subscription cost was agreed via email, this email has been somehow misplaced on your system along with the agreement of free extenders and a new hub, now being charged more

(@iantl1000sv) reported
@lealoupilky @virginmedia Mate, nearly 6yrs of being free of Virgin, 5g mobile internet makes them redundant. Only service on the estate but was never going to use them after my experience. 5g tinterweb, less than £20 a month, 300Mbps download speeds. No brainer.

(@Sharpy_1969) reported
@virginmedia Also, I am aware that the "live chat" is not an immediate response team but how long does it take to reply to a message? I had to guess what "you will be considered to us?" meant and even gave up waiting and just went back to my original request. The customer service is shocking.
