    @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.

    @virginmedia They havenโ€™t got through to anyone to cancel it yet?

    @virginmedia 9/ speak but he kept interrupting me. He had no help for me for having no internet for 6 days. He kept sighing and refused to put me through to anyone who could offer anymore help.

    @AnnG50707311 @virginmedia I always haggled with them and got them to come in at new customer prices. Surprising what they will give you when you let them think you are leaving. Also let them know what other companies will offer you to become a customer as they may match the offer

    @virginmedia I contacted customer services for an update on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I was informed by your Twitter account I wouldnโ€™t need to send my current phone back until I receive my new one. I was then informed by the gentleman on the phone my new phone wonโ€™t be sent until I send this

    @virginmedia Hi, I would like to cancel my recent broadband order. I found a better deal.

    @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 ยฃ100 credit that you also promise? Thank you.

    @virginmedia we have had no Internet or TV since yesterday afternoon/evening. Service checker seems down and unable to log into my virgin media as just spins or says unavailable SM1 1RB please advise.

    @virginmedia My phone is now over two weeks late, which isnโ€™t an issue, I understand waiting for one to become available to send but to suggest I send this phone back and go without a phone until one eventually gets sent to me is just ridiculous. Iโ€™m not gonna pay my bills with no phoneโ€ฆ

    @virginmedia 11/ I've never been 6 days without internet and help was much more available in the past with virgin. Now, customers are being left high and dry.

    @Shayan86 @virginmedia Itโ€™s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at ยฃ35 and is now ยฃ45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

  • rrrussboy

    @virginmedia Iโ€™ve now been told that there is no complaints team, despite the fact I spoke to them earlier. How is it possible to be so poor?

    @virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.

    Iโ€™ve had 3 hours sleep, Iโ€™m trying to catch up and within 10 mins Iโ€™ve had four calls from **** bags pretending to be from Virgin Media. The next **** to do this, Iโ€™ll be tracking your location and paying you a ******* visit! ๐Ÿ˜ก

    @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africaโ€ฆ Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

  • mizznansea
    Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    @virginmedia Yes he left a name & phone number, said I should I let him know if I still have issues. I've contacted him 3 times including this morning since his visit last Friday.

    @LozzaFox Don't people know you can use google family and virgin media security that can fully control what any child watches and download on a device and restrict how long a device can be used a day. Down to the parents to decide what their child watches. Is Starmer etc so thick with tech

    @virginmedia Are you able to contact the staff that used to work on them because I have a long running complaint and despite forum staff having access to info nobody at 150 can help and apparently the ONLY time my problem got identified and fixed nobody can find except for forum staff.

    @virginmedia @emmamcl_xo Crap service - always going down, and they never refund you..

    Ryan Sheppard (@Sheppo1874) reported

    @alisonclay71 @virginmedia Theyโ€™re the worst. I was a customer for over 10 years and moved house recently. They refused to move the service to my new house. Incredibly poor service. Also, be prepared for them to chase you constantly to return their kit or theyโ€™ll charge you for it!
