    Every single night @virginmedia WIFI drops out — Try to call and it’s over an hour wait CONSTANTLY!! Simply the worse service... Been trying to sort for weeks!! 😡😡... come back @skytv we shouldn’t have changed!

  • jiginthebox
    Richard Esdale (@jiginthebox) reported from Dover, England

    @virginmedia I have had no choice but to take this matter further and make contact with #ofcom and the communications ombudsman - for the disgusting customer service for a problem ongoing for about 3 months! Get the SAME text every single day then NOTHING! 😡 @ShieldVoC

  • dovermonkey
    Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Dover, England

    @virginmedia Still can't get through to report a fault on my Tivo box. Waited 3 and a half minutes to be told your call centre is closed too. Thanks for the top customer service.

  • jiginthebox
    Richard Esdale (@jiginthebox) reported from Dover, England

    @virginmedia Then ive been paying for a service ive not been receiving which will undoubtedly work our worse for you as I have records of all the failed correspondence and support from you!!! And all my emails/texts and calls are logged ... I’ve stopped the payment and now contacted @skytv

  • dovermonkey
    Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia So your code of practice section 3. Your case will remain open for 28 days so you'll have enough time to review and consider our proposal. Erm you've closed it after 2 days. Your service gets better

  • dovermonkey
    Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Dover, England

    @virginmedia so you don't have a complaints team yet you advise to ring x number to raise a complaint. Misleading information re when a call can be pulled to listen to. Told twice 72 hours, 96 hours gone by and now being told 30-40 days.

    Owen Kimm (@chewgumforever) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia been on hold for over an hour trying to get support with no response. There is no chat function online and no help for accessibility. Shocking customer service.

  • dovermonkey
    Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia No. I received an email stating I didn't need to sign a new contract and it was classed as a service change.

  • jiginthebox
    Richard Esdale (@jiginthebox) reported from Dover, England

    @virginmedia I’ve tried ALL channels and still unable to speak to someone to solve this issue... You will no doubt soon be on to me for my missed payment so can discuss it then!!

  • dovermonkey
    Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia Your email re complaint makes now sense. You've closed it but not said how it has been resolved? C-1703211599 Please advise

    @zoebartlett Funny how @virginmedia say they have no access to accounts over social media yet yesterday I dealt with my issue finally over the same social media platform. They contradict themselves time after time.

    @virginmedia @KimmyK2712 I'm a new customer and just received my kit in the post, i started following the instructions and realised you need a wall socket to plug one of the wires into. There's no wall socket in the box and there wasn't an option when ordering to add it. Help!

    @virginmedia Hello. My deal on my VM account has come to an end (I only have Broadband with you) - I was paying £28 for M50 and see you’re doing M100 for £27. I tried to get through on live chat but it was too busy, same as the phone lines. Can you help me out?

  • BoboJess_
    Jess (@BoboJess_) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, multiple times. The online check says there’s no issues with the connection coming in to the home, but we’re having trouble connecting/keeping connected. It’s still on and off

  • DigitalJonathan
    Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported

    Just had my once-every-18-month conversation with virginmedia about their prices, service and customer service. Threatened to leave again. Walked away with upgraded TV, 5x upgraded broadband for the same price + a coffee. Never settle for their first answer.
