@ThingsByNik @virginmedia Oh no, I’ve just signed up for their BB as our Sky one is awful and it’s the fastest available, I keep hearing not the greatest things about them though 🙈

@richardbranson I experienced the worst customer service ever today from @virginmedia. Can someone explain to me why new customers get a better deal than loyal existing customers? It's criminal in this day and age really isn't it?

@realalanwiggins @virginmedia Pointless reporting anything even if you can get hold of anyone. Has to be the worst customer service about.

@virginmedia Us? As in your sub contracted call centre who's staff are not actually Virgin employees? Yeah, tried that and they can't look after Virgin's loyal customers either. I'll just leave, and come back in 3 months like I was told too. Shambolic customer service.

The customer service offered by @virginmedia has now reached such comically useless levels that they're now making it next to impossible for me to pay them for their services!

@ThingsByNik @virginmedia Have noticed they’re hard to get hold of as I’ve had issues with my install (outdoors related) they should at least do you a deal…if you could actually speak to them they will prob offer you something, that’s what Sky usually do

@virginmedia Unless you can locate the mobile phone that never reached me in August 2020, employ more peoley to deal with customers and open shops again , I shouldn't think there is thank you.

@virginmedia Why have a Twitter presence when you can never answer account specific queries? It's a ridiculous set up.

THREE months I waited for @virginmedia to come out and install my new broadband around 16 rescheduled appointments, 2 no show engineers, 1 who 'nipped to his van' and then never came back, each time it'll be installed next time we assure you, all this time they are still adding..

@virginmedia I have yes, nothing appears. It states in your terms and conditions that payment will be made promptly, 30 days after the 1st missed appointment, it was 75 for you to fix, and now 85 since we started. If you terminate my services because of this, you pay me via cheque, correct?

@virginmedia Well I've just had a "sort of" resolution but still not really acceptable. I gave 30 days notice to cancel my services as want to get Sky. Sky and Openreach are coming tomorrow to fit phoneline & services. I have booked a day off work for this. If there is still (cont) >>

@virginmedia Hi Virgin, I have called and asked for this to be escalated to a manager 3 times (you don't have a complaint's team apparently), over the past past 10 days.. over the telephone this was done, but no-one calls me 😞 and when I ring back noone has a clue what's going on..

@virginmedia has got the worst customer service of any network. Raised a complaint back in January regarding a misold package,still waiting for an outcome. The notes say they have tried contacting me...no they havnt, not missed calls, voicemails or emails. Absolute liars.

@richardbranson @virginmedia has to be the worst company for customer service I have ever come across in my 41 years on this planet. 2 hours on the phone yesterday and today and passed from pillar to post and still non the wiser. Absolute disgrace and I’m being kind !

@Sparkle_71 @dhrutishah @virginmedia If their internet doesn't work, they can't use the Virgin media phone; and today's outage has affected also the emergency lines given to vulnerable customers. So the only way to call Virgin Media is to use non-Virgin Media phones.

(@rawsonjones) reported
@virginmedia You should have been aware many hours ago when your customers were. Are you hiking prices next month to pay for new yachts for fat cat CEOs rather than a better service to the public? Prices high enough already.

(@BTCrypto1) reported
@virginmedia I really understand that sometimes issues can happen but what about when we have to negotiate our bills all the time, or every time our contract expires... if the culture is not changed I'm done with you, paying over £100 a month is not worth the stress

@virginmedia Were you waiting for the press to start reporting on the outage before communicating to your customers? Or waiting for it to be fixed? The outage didn’t disappoint me, the total silence from the company did.

@virginmedia We’ve had poor service since November 2022 ! Engineer out last week confirms we have had multiple drop outs even one day with no service at all . System says you will get auto compensation no need to log . But yet no compensation just an increase in monthly bill #timetomove

@dhrutishah @virginmedia If its a backup unit (BBU) your parents have had installed, they are only able to call emergency services from it if their broadband has gone down. They are fitted with a sim card incase of a situation such as this one.

@SenseMakesNone @virginmedia a telecoms company like VM would have maintenance work and network work going on overnight rather than daytime. There also would or should have been a priorty 1 escalation of this issue happening regardless of time of day. The would have known about it around 2am at least

@virginmedia Pretty embarrasing lack of communication and service literally the day before you bump up everyone's prices. You have a monopoly in my area or I would be gone in a heartbeat.

@virginmedia I'm having to hotspot my personal phone to work. I doubt you will compensate me for my personal data loss. Having your service pages down is unforgivable too
