    @virginmedia your call centre is an absolute joke. No one deals with problems and just transfers to a different department who hang up

    @virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

    Ye gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt You have to play VM at their own game, I have been with them since the days of telewest. Once your contract comes to an end, cancel, within the 30 day cancellation they’ll call you with a new customer offer, works everytime.

    @trapdoor456 @virginmedia I tried, after 3 months of bullshit, it was brought into my house behind my fryer as this was and i quote ' the only place it can go' They may have sorted themselves out by now but I have heard mixed reviews so make sure to have the option to cancel

  • brattandeaf
    Jeff Brattan-Wilson (@brattandeaf) reported

    @Si_Vargeson @virginmedia We also are having issues with them. We are new customers and I can confirm that we regretted already and we haven’t even moved properly yet and unlikely it won’t be solved until mid Aug! Thinking about moving to Virgin Media? DONT DO IT!

    @EE I was on a call for 42 minutes this morning and got nowhere. Nobody wants to take any responsibility and suggesting I didn’t order despite the fact SIMs have moved over to One plan and Virgin Media contacted me about leaving. Very poor service

    Absolutely no ***** given @virginmedia India and Malaysia are your only options as a customer. Poor people having to deal with vm ****** policies. FYI if you make more than one complaint about the same issue, they close the previous ones as resolved. They simply disappear.
