  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia hello I’ve supposedly been transferred to the Customer Relations messaging team on WhatsApp but have been waiting since 2pm yesterday for an agent to get back to me, how much longer can I be expected to wait? Thanks

  • GillibrandPeter
    Peter Gillibrand (@GillibrandPeter) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia any help? Seems a bit excessive if you’re citing inflation… a little bit of transparency may help…!

  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Yep. Just been on hold for 1 hour 3 minutes and as soon as I got through it cut off. Sent multiple follow up WhatsApp messages and still nothing. You really need to sort out your customer service because I’ve been waiting 3 weeks just to get back into contact with someone!!!

  • benj8min
    Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia With respect, your customer service advisors are useless. As is the technology for contacting them. As per my initial message. Last time I went through this I was booked a chat appointment by your twitter team with someone who specifically handled the complaint.

  • Dazc090861
    Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia In Dec, you sent an email thanking me for making changes & what I'd get from now on & it'd cost over twice as much as I was paying. I never asked for any changes & in one of the many, calls I've made, I was told that your Oomph bundle department had shut around the same time.

    @virginmedia My original package wasn't due to end until July 22. I've spoken to every department you have, over & over again...I go over the same old explanation with your people every single time & still, nobody in your company will help...I've spoken to over 3 managers & still nothing!!

  • thelee_x_w

    Word of warning avoid @virginmedia 4 wifi like the plague. I rarely get even 20% of advertised speeds & the CS team are next 2 useless. Paying 4 daily disappointment that upsets the kids. Will never go back 2 them ever. Worst service I ave ever received @EE was so much better

  • BackOnTrack__
    Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I’m fuming! We were lied to by their customer service , promised an engineer this an no one turned up now been told by customer service that we won’t have one until tomorrow #nithoodenough

  • vickiferris
    Vicky Leigh (@vickiferris) reported

    I call customer services and then told oh they do 360 boxes for existing customers but if it worked OK then the box was fine. However the email says the boz will work and look OK until it doesn't so I ask for a replacement or engineer to check it (4) @virginmedia

  • ninepine
    Mike Fuller (@ninepine) reported

    @virginmedia Apology accepted but your data is clearly bad and your systems faulty if you have to rely on assumptions not truth. Sadly symptomatic of @virginmedia - @ICOnews should investigate. When your systems also wrongly say I haven't paid my bill in full it's systemic not unusual.😡

  • hrcastle
    HRCastle (@hrcastle) reported

    @virginmedia Is there an issue in the BH21 area? Been having issues all week, and impossible to actually speak to a human.

  • ferdi_rezvan
    Ferdi Rezvan (@ferdi_rezvan) reported

    @virginmedia For the last 72 hours the internet goes down around 930 and comes back up in the evening. What is going on? I have sent a DM and not getting a response

  • TraderPaulFX
    TraderPaulAI ✿ (@TraderPaulFX) reported

    @CityFibre have blanket banned anyone from having fast fibre broadband who has a Telecare device (warden alarm system). @virginmedia the only realistic alternative in my area, had me up and running within 3 days of ordering. No dramas, excellent service!

    @virginmedia Fingers crossed for Wednesday and Saturday and hopefully not more broken promises. @virginmedia need to send me all the transcripts because I cannot wait to go through them.

    So glad I screenshotted my whole chat with @virginmedia because I knew the “agent” I spoke to at would mess up my house move by the stupid questions they were asking. Cut my old house off (that I’m still in) a day early.
