@virginmedia 4 month countdown to get rid of you your customer service is beyond rude. Your technical support is lacking in manners and availability. @SkyUK we are on our way back sorry for leaving biggest mistake ever. We may have saved £20 but not worth the shit service

1/2 My exp. with @VirginMedia has been a farce involving incorrect contract lengths, engineers insisting my package can't be installed bc customer service sold me a service that doesn't exist, phone calls from Virgin saying the engineers are wrong...

@virginmedia @DannyHackett Be careful with the fob offs Danny - if it’s a connection problem (not your in house WiFi) then Virgin, as with any other cable company, can see your connection status from the modem to their services via DOCSIS and also should be able to see logs too 😉

@virginmedia why does it take so long to get through to your cancellation team or is there that many people getting rid of your services due to the shocking customer service!

@virginmedia @DannyHackett Had a moment around a decade ago where they sent me through the song and dance of rebooting etc. So I cut it short, told them to look at the signal levels. They did. We agreed that it’s not localised to my property, they fixed. No pointless faffing.

@DannyHackett @virginmedia If they’re saying it’s an area fault maybe the signal to the box isn’t within the acceptable conditions so it has to reconnect often. Same problem in Dartford but fixed on their end after several calls...

@virginmedia I shared the screen prints of what they said. No attempt was made to diagnose or resolve. Only to sell boosters despite me advising them I have major WiFi issues. I’ve kept all the messages and you did bring but try to con me out of more money. And now you call me a liar!!

@virginmedia Yes there probably is an outage, but surely that can’t be acceptable most of the day all days. IF I do get WiFi it runs so slow everything buffers. Also WHEN you do get through to CS they say can’t help have to transfer you to another department only to get cut off after an hour

John Rain
(@MrKenShabby) reported
@virginmedia Flatlined. Last time I had someone call from your call centre who had no interest in my query, and then said he was putting me through to get a new router, and then cut me off. This all feels like another fob-off, so please tell me how I cancel.

Joe Webb
(@JoeWebb90) reported
@virginmedia @Matthew99029297 We noticed that too, problem was marked as fixed when it wasn't, then an hour later same problem again with a new job reference to avoid paying out the compensation. 3 days now without connectivity.

@virginmedia I’m being forced to contact you this way as 150 has been engaged since I tried calling yesterday. Experiencing terrible upload speeds plus problems with TiVo. Please contact me #stayconnected !!

(@DonnaGalbraith6) reported
@VictoriaWhite23 @virginmedia I’m sorry to hear this, sadly not the only one, loads of people on here complaining, I’ve just been on the phone again for an hour for the line to clear. I too think the only way forward is to cancel DD. Love the fact Virgin think an outage is acceptable, even if it’s everyday.

@virginmedia are a disgrace. My mobile is not receiving incoming calls. I spoke to them yesterday & I was told it was an issue in my area but it's still happening & when I call customer care it cuts me off without ringing. I will be moving to someone who values customers ASAP.

@virginmedia I have tried to contact you by phone, email, messaging. I have logged in online- but no access to information I need. Am at my wits end. I cancelled a tv package but am being charged for it. Your customer service is appalling. Please respond

@virginmedia what's going on with your customer help phone line? just automatically cuts off before connecting? I do hope you're not struggling with your phone bills?

@bt_uk you never visit.. you never write... you never call... not even a DM. Why would I trust my communications with a company that doesn't communicate? @SkyUK @virginmedia timescale & best price for superfast broadband in #Holnfirth please?
