@virginmedia the problem is now being dealt with and will need repair. Thanks for the help again although it shouldn’t be so difficult. Pensioners don’t have the knowledge to do what I had to do for my dad

@virginmedia I would like help / assistance in setting up my new account. I received 3 missed calls today from your sales team and when I did call back nothing productive happened. I have a severely disabled daughter and we need the new account to be activated as we have alot of…

@virginmedia We have tried to problem solve ourselves and need help. A replacement box or an engineer, not a link to a forum. Do you have a link to a customer complaints department? Maybe I will get somewhere with them.

@virginmedia as it was tiresome and he can’t get through to anyone. The same problem I had today. He has his phone, broadband and tv with you. His mobile as well I reckon. Having spent a good bit time today going through all the stuff on the phone to eventually be hung up on is infuriating

@virginmedia been trying to get through to you. Finally got through to try and speak to a customer service and was cut off immediately when transferred from automated service to an actual person. Trying to sort out my 80 year old dads tv service. Awful service

@virginmedia I can hear a band playing a tune but it will not be to my benefit. I phoned today about being overcharged obviously the call handler was so inept she cut me off rather than fix it. But she did get in the fact that this terrible service was going up by 20% next month.

@virginmedia more problems with Virgin, their internet and phone service in EH 14 has had problems for two weeks, no refund for the loss of service though. I was cut off today after their call handler could not answer the simplest of questions on an overcharged bill.

@virginmedia Well as usual you are not proactive to customers informing them of a lack of service. You instead are always reactive when someone complains and slow to compensate for loss of service. Your frequency of drop outs in service are held as secretive.

@virginmedia It’s been horrific for the last 4-5 days although today is by far the worst.

@virginmedia broadband in EH11 is up and down like a yo-yo. More down than up. (like my attempts with a yo-yo)

@andrewducker I did have two rather stressful conversations with Virginmedia a couple of months back. In the first one they offered me a terrible offer and said it was the best and moving took ages. They did this in a slow way, always trying to divert the conversation. 1/

@virginmedia Yes. Yesterday. Which is why our phone doesn't work. No adapter, despite being assured it would be sent.

@virginmedia, I have been trying to contact you for 3 weeks in order to cancel my TV contract. Email, phone, WhatsApp and your app all lead into frustrating brick walls. Kindly contact me, quickly.

@virginmedia Thanks for asking. An operator will call me back tomorrow, as it’s part of an ongoing three week saga. I’m so disappointed as I’ve been a loyal VM (originally Telewest) customer for around 30 years. Remaining hopeful 🙃

Finally something positive to say about @virginmedia following a call from Callum at the “executive team” providing the level of current service I would expect from a such a huge company! Perhaps the skills of good customer service need to be a CPD exercise for the call centres!

@virginmedia Very interesting as I was told £216.11 for each service (TV, BB, Phone). I asked is this a total of over £600 and she said, “yea mamm,that is correct”. My response was purely to laugh. This conversation has happed in the last 15 minutes. Absolutely despicable!

@virginmedia It's a joke though, we pay for a service and it doesn't even run properly. I'd love to say it's only a one off scenario, but it's happened more this year than others. I'd swap provider if I could but Sky in this area just doesn't reach the same level as you when working.

@virginmedia a little unhappy that my Virgin Media services have been down from around 0730 this morning and it shows it's not going to be resolved till tomorrow afternoon. My postcode is TW19 7HY. A little unhappy as we've been unable to use services we pay for due to WiFi.

@virginmedia 4 times in 6 days that both broadband and Tv have been down for extended periods of time. What on earth is going on at Virgin media? Happy to take my £70+ a month, will be claiming compensation.

@virginmedia I urgently need help with virgin media services. Your “help” functions and automated phone lines make it impossible to speak to a human being.

@virginmedia Hi. Missed the cricket yesterday cos I couldn't sign into SkySports. Still the same today. Any estimated fix time as I think it might be a national issue and not just me.
