@virginmedia Please don’t conveniently close the live chat because you cut my phone and you’re having massive issues. The phone is my business phone and you are now liable for any missed work. Sort it out, shocking service.

@virginmedia I have continually tried to call, your wait times are really unacceptable, anyway I have also opted for the text service, however no text received. I am losing faith I’ve been waiting since August for some kind of contact from you. Any other options?

@virginmedia I have checked and there are no faults. I am still having issues over a week later and this is totally unacceptable! Two children trying to take part of zoom lessons which they keep dipping in and out of as the connection just keeps dropping! Unable to get through to you on 150

@virginmedia The worst bit you get one letter on 6th Nov saying your case is being investigated & apologising for taking 8 weeks to sort, two days later the case is closed as I didn’t reply to a letter 4 weeks earlier I never received!!!!

Any @virginmedia customers out there who’ve been landed a price increase - just ring them on 03454541111 and the automated service immediately offers you a £4.50 pm discount for 6 months = £27 of savings. Bit of a weird way of doing business but obvs hope many just suck it up. 👍

@virginmedia Ok so I need to arrange another visit I won’t be contacted? Can you see how bad this looks? Now I’ll be in London I need to arrange someone to be there to let an engineer in unless there is a smaller window

@treysis @noIPv6 @omnomis @virginmedia @tschaeferm @adam_as61 Nah, @AskCiti always used to be the only way to get competent customer service. At one point I almost took to using them first without even bothering to go through the proper channels first.

Trules
(@Trules20) reported
@virginmedia Still no resolution just eventually kept getting told I didn't have an appointment booked for today when I did and when I asked to speak to someone to ask why I was lied to and why the engineer didn't turn up I was passed to another department and then cut off this happened twice

Ashley
(@ash_x_123) reported
@virginmedia No as I haven't made the call to the Faults Team yet (wasn't able to sort this out via the chat service)

(@intgom) reported
@virginmedia Oh dear - the forums make for depressing reading. You should really moderate them cos they don’t paint a good picture of Virgin Media I’m afraid. Alternatively, provide a real customer service via (eg) Twitter DM. Even email!

Peter Hamilton
(@PeterH67) reported
@virginmedia I want to make a complaint. I have been mis-sold an @O2 SIM card contract with my virgin media package. I didn’t know this was a contract and I don’t want it. Please reply and arrange to have this cancelled and removed.
-
COME ON YOU ******* REDMEN
(@therealsambo121) reported
@virginmedia How does this help me being without Internet since Sunday. It better be fixed tomorrow or I'm phoning to cancel the rest of the contract. And I expect compensation for lack of service

bestia
(@betija68833235) reported
@virginmedia No, this is second time that I have been waiting all day for an engineer, got new installation date on 21st November, so I will be 2 months without internet, and of course the engineer will not turn up on 21st Nov. either. I’m fuming, no option but to cancel it. Appalling service

@virginmedia really disappointed with the terrible service we are receiving from you- constant promises of call backs and then nothing. New media box fitted but it is faulty so we are currently paying for a service that are not even receiving
-
Nic
(@nic_r24) reported
@virginmedia This will be the 3rd evening in a row trying to sort it out. The box is new but clearly faulty. Why should we have to keep initiating contact when we’re waiting for a call back? It’s really poor service and having a quick look at the forum, I’m not on my own when I say this
-
Goth Scouser
(@Liam_Hawksey) reported
@virginmedia Yes I’ve checked and it still isn’t fixed. I have a bad feeling something was damaged outside when engineers turned up to install virgin for our next door neighbours as it was fine until then and they did knock to say they weren’t sure if they cut the wrong cable and wanted to…
