@davesumnersmith @virginmedia I have realised that talking to Twitter teams is of limited value. The responses are scripted and when they’re painted into a corner, they just stop responding. Customer Service has become a contradiction in terms. My daughter has had similar experiences with Virgin Media.

@virginmedia No service still. Outrageous. No customer support. Online mths all day. Great advert for Virgin. The most reliable broadband provider #poorservice

@virginmedia Yes, everyone is sorry and everyone understands but no one wants to help. I still haven’t cancelled and you ask me to pay early cancellation fees after raising the prices. If not talking about the current contract I stayed a customer for almost 4 years even with the abuse I got.

The award for the worst ever customer service goes to @virginmedia over an hours wait to get through.

@virginmedia It was a five minute fix, but she lost one month of TV access as a result. She’s a nurse so arranging a daytime appointment took a while because of her work patterns. It’s her first home of her own and I felt she had been treated in a less than respectable manner.

@virginmedia my wifi is constantly going down, it's happened 4 times today, so frustration. Why do I pay £74 pound a month for this service!? Really thinking of switching to @SkyUK

@virginmedia No there isn’t and the only issue is with audio description, it’s driving me mad. I’ve switched it off but it makes no difference.

@virginmedia My daughter had to make 2 phone calls to your customer service department to resolve a problem with her new TV box in November last year. She was almost 2 hours on the phone & then an engineer visit solved the problem. Engineer admitted the setup instructions were at fault.

@virginmedia The issue is happening on the app so it looks like it’s duplicated the laptop using chrome 4 times. 3 of those need removing which I can’t do

@virginmedia why has my mobile signal strength dropped now Virgin Mobile is piggybacking off Vodafone? Used to be full strength when you used EE.

Can anyone tell me how you get @virginmedia to respond to and deal with complaints? I am at the end of my tether with them! I have raised 4 complaints now and they have unsatisfactorily responded to 1 which I called back about to keep the complaint open only for them to close...

@virginmedia It’s the WIFi and what can you do about it? I’ve been a customer for many many years and this issue is causing aggravation. Surely I should expect uninterrupted service all day every day. It’s not cheap either is it??

@virginmedia I asked to be put through to someone who could process my cancellation. This was after being on hold for 40 minutes. Then I couldn’t really understand the man talking to me, I said I just wanted to cancel and he hung up.

@virginmedia I only recorded it on my phone so you could see what’s happening as I’m having the same issue on both. I’ve cleared it and it’s still not giving me an option to join a chat

@virginmedia This happened during the pandemic too, the WiFi was turned off between 10 and 10.30pm every day. I complained then and no one ever came back to me. Now the WiFi is being turned off just before midnight. Problem is my son live streams for a living and this loses followers/income

By the way, when I press the button to go through to the team that cancels my service, I don’t want to hear I’ve come through to the wrong team. “You’ve come through to sales” you might want to get your engineers on that. @virginmedia

@virginmedia utterly disgraceful misleading lies to an elderly disabled woman who attempted to reduce the increased monthly £150 bill she cannot pay. To then cut off all her services leaving her unable to make vital phone calls for help. @richardbranson

(@Darrenmorgan69) reported
@virginmedia this must be the worst company I’ve ever had to deal with. Overcharged by £45 for an unexplained flexi charge. So i decided to terminate my contract now service is hit and miss since I said I was leaving…..shocking
