Virgin media - your automated service has a flaw, it just repeats the same message, ‘ no faults found’, when there is a fault, like my internet is giving 2Mb download right now

@virginmedia According to Varryl, who I stress was a very unhelpful individual, the wait time of around 50 mins has been an ongoing issue for about 2 weeks. My issue has not been resolved today.

@virginmedia Honestly don't think @virginmedia can provide a worse service. Over the last 6 weeks I've had to put up with over a week of no phone lines, last week almost three days with no broadband so cant process payments, and now it's down again. Unbelievable 😠😠😠, costing £1000s

@foxinthebox2010 @virginmedia It was a customer insight survey sent to me by email. Gives you no chance to really voice your opinion as it’s just pushing the new box.

@bjorn_haynes @vmbusiness Takes so long to pass through each layer of customer service as well, must have explained the situation 15 tines. You feel unless you push the situation won't get resolved. Case of he who shouts loudest.

@JasonHodge71 @virginmedia happened to me tried explain the issues I was had after a 45 min wait. He then kept talking over me when I called him about it he hung up. Seems par for the list of these Indian call centres. Have you noticed that you only get a UK based agent when you say your leaving

Just want to say after being a long standing @virginmobile and @virginmedia customer for many years I had it with their appalling customer service and excessive charges. Don’t use them people they don’t deserve our business

@bjorn_haynes @vmbusiness Took over 9 days to fix my business land line, retail shop, had customer panicking that we had closed. Not what you want to here. Then no broadband for two days couldn't take care payments, cost us 1000s. Then when down again this week. Biggest threat to my business is virgin.

@foxinthebox2010 @virginmedia You do have a point @foxinthebox2010 though because they were asking if customers would be willing to pay £20 one off fee, then £15, £10, £5...which implies they could afford to upgrade for free but just want to squeeze more money of out their customers. We’ve had awful service

@virginmedia Your customer service advisor was supposed to be calling me back today to put through the cancellation but of course they haven't. You're trying to undermine my legal rights to cancel a contract I wasn't clearly informed on the consequences of.

Been with @virginmedia a week and not impressed. Going to be charged £25 as I cannot for the life of me cancel an appointment tomorrow. Through the app ❌ on the website ❌ over the phone ❌! Can someone please tell me how I’m meant to do this?

@virginmedia as it was tiresome and he can’t get through to anyone. The same problem I had today. He has his phone, broadband and tv with you. His mobile as well I reckon. Having spent a good bit time today going through all the stuff on the phone to eventually be hung up on is infuriating

@EJM_uk @virginmedia For me it is, haven't had a net drop in well over 12 months of service so for me they've been unbelievably reliable. Up until now!
