    @virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

    @Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

    @virginmedia my wifi is terrible, how do i go about getting some boosters so that my signal is as strong as you promise? I can't access the app (thats another unresolved problem!) Also how do i go about receiving the £100 credit that you also promise? Thank you.

    @virginmedia 8/ have to pay if it came down to a third party router intimating that the fault was mine. No appointment till Thursday! I tried to explain that I care for an elderly lady and he wouldn't let me speak and kept interrupting me which was incredibly rude. I advised him to let me

    @MayorofLondon Shame they provide the most terrible customer service and treat you like they've got you by the short and curlies! Pay £400 a year for a service, custome service agents are like robots and stuff you for days when it doesn't work with no alternative offered! @virginmedia

    Be careful if you ever want to cancel a @virginmedia account, I wrote to them, twice as per their T&C because you can never get through on chat or phone, they deny receipt of letters because you cant send recorded delivery so they just keep sending bills and chasing payments

    @virginmedia I've got no internet and calling 150... Says offices are closed?! Can't access live chat! Won't let me log in! What awful customer service is this?! How do I get through to someone??

  • GoonerGrizzly
    grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

    @BingoBertie @RichardLXXII @virginmedia Yes you clearly have no clue about the wording of the contract. Contracts have a fixed period and if you are smart you have discounts. They however have a fixed period, so if you let them run out the contract continues without them. So what your are suggesting is bad

  • bushmills7d
    Paul Williams (@bushmills7d) reported

    @virginmedia great service again. Second time today we’ve had no service , that’s the third time this week. If We hadn’t renewed our subscription with you we would cancel

  • mattwalters70
    Matt Walters (@mattwalters70) reported

    @virginmedia Congratulations for officially being the worst company that I have ever dealt with. Poor customer service with staff who DO NOT listen, staff that oversell contracts to vulnerable people, a website that is frankly awful, complaints that are not taken seriously.

    @24hoursoflemans Looking forward to watching this back as I had issues trying to watch this back on my virgin media box

    @virginmedia you have one of the most terrible customer service I have ever seen my life. I have been facing intermittent broadband issues for a months and the issue is still not fixed.

    @MIKEYJ0726 @virginmedia @skytv Me too mate. Eye watering prices and crap customer service aren’t a great combination but it’s one that Virgin seem to prefer. Sky here I come and I don’t care if it costs me more..

    @libertyglobal please ask @virginmedia why they sent me a new TB box without any remote to control it. (Finally they say will send one to reach me "in 5 business days" - keep paying for the service throughout this time!)

    @virginmedia Hi I was asked to direct message in regards to the services all being down for the last 3 days and then being told services will be down until the 10th of July, completely unacceptable. I would like to know what you are going to do about it pls. Asap
