.@virginmedia have emailed me a survey about their handling of my complaint. Nil points all the way. To be fair once I managed to speak to someone she was ok(just) and gave me answers. Trust is so low I don't entirely believe them

@virginmedia Hi I text two evenings ago when you told me too, and then received a very generic response about upgrading my package online. I have since text again to say that the problem is with the increase and that I may need to cancel but nothing back yet. Over 6 hours on hold now to you!

@_simonlambert @GECFrost you said it about virgin media. Maybe it’s just me (King in waiting) but when I speak to customer services a “firm” stooge e.g nice but dim wills intercepts the calls to attempt to mentally turn me over. They are sinister AF. Now I’m locked out of iPlayer

@WilliamNB @virginmedia Nope. Stuff thankfully works pretty well but company is proving to be awful. Shamelessly trying to use the breach their sloppiness allowed to wriggle out of the gdpr queries I've lodged as a result of the breach.

@virginmedia It would help if you read the thread and the attached screenshot. I did email with specific requests under gdpr. That was forwarded within VM and I got a generic dismissive reply which didn't even acknowledge the queries. Further eroding trust in VM

@gazza_d @jo2gard @virginmedia They are awful, but the broadband is fast, trick is to never try to communicate with them.

@virginmedia Twice but very unsatisfactorily and although I was told at 5.30 that I would receive a call back within half an hour from a customer services manager, I am yet to receive that call. New customer extremely f***ed off if I'm honest

@virginmedia No, unfortunately I never got that far. Seriously considering just cancelling and going with a company that has more respect for its customers. Literally became a client 5 days ago

Great what deals you can get when you ring to cancel your contract 👍 @virginmedia a very helpful Hayley in your call centre. Paying less now for more than double what I had before.

@virginmedia Can’t answer calls ems bouncing back. Wouldn’t it make more sense to just take everyone’s sports package off. Paying £125 per month at this my point my other half is ready to cancel everything when we can.

@virginmedia Yes tried that and always says absolutely fine. I’ve had ongoing issues for nearly 2 months now with it all and been in contact on the phone numerous times too and it’s just a bit tiresome now as it’s not getting any better.

@AlexSchillemore @virginmedia I called a couple of months ago, told them the bandwith was crap, they promised it would be doubled (so why not until I complained?) & yet I don't think it's any better... possibly worse! Looks like their main effort is enticing new customers rather than looking after existing.

(@Heath_cb) reported
@AlexSchillemore @northcamesouth @virginmedia They are terrible. They slipped my grandfather onto a contract (once his original term ran out) where he was paying £90 a month for services he didn't even use. No refund, no apology when we realised. Wouldn't touch them with a bargepole.

@northcamesouth @AlexSchillemore @virginmedia You actually have to cancel and wait for them to call you back for the best deals. I pay less than £40 for TV, internet and TV.

@virginmedia Hi, it wasn't posted on the outage site, nothing on service status but eventually there was an message online when we tried to access web mail saying they were doing some work and to try later.

@virginmedia we’ve lost or got very sporadic broadband in n4 1jj but can get no joy from the service checker. At least 6 households are experiencing this

@northcamesouth @virginmedia I use my own modem with VM hub & have ZERO connectivity problems. A new Google Chromecast with Android TV on the TV is amazing. It creates one library from all your streaming service inc iplayer Ch 4 etc as well as Netflix etc.When my contract end I will canx all but internet.

@virginmedia How exactly am I to apply for compensation when CS keep disconnecting call? The link you provides information only. And to add insult, our broadband is STILL awful.
