@virginmedia I tried texting that number and got no answer. I just tried calling the helpline, was on hold for about 20 minutes, was asked for all my contact details and then your operator told me her system is down and I should call back in 2 hours!!

@emmah1188 @virginmedia Completely incompetent. Customer service is unacceptable. Unable to give a ‘goodwill gesture’ as we’re not account holders despite having an account number, set up a direct debit and signing a contract.

As my @virginmedia bill is now creeping up towads 130pcm I called to cancel or negotiate. A small discount was offered. I was surprised how little effort was made to retain a customer. (‘OK, thank you for calling’). So I’ll have to switch.

@virginmedia Our internet has been down completely since early this morning (not intermittently like the automated message is suggesting) and I still don’t know if it’s a problem in the area, or just our own property.

@virginmedia Keep having problems where, every few days or so, the booster loses connectivity with the base unit, resulting in it outputting no internet connection. On top of that, the speeds are less than half that of the main router (350 - 500 Mbps on our Hub vs 150 Mbps from booster)

@virginmedia new broadband routers now working, speeds dropped massively when I can get internet, tried for 14 minutes to get through to your customer service (being charged thanks for that) and can’t get access to my account as your team registered my email address wrong. Help!

@virginmedia Yes, I understand that. But after signing up to SMS updates four times via two methods, I’d expect to at least be receiving texts telling me that the fix times have been pushed back.

never normally tweet about this stuff but can’t let this one go. just had the absolute worst customer service experience with @virginmedia. horrendously snappy, rude, and impatient (even sighed at having to deal with our problem!)

@virginmedia 4 month countdown to get rid of you your customer service is beyond rude. Your technical support is lacking in manners and availability. @SkyUK we are on our way back sorry for leaving biggest mistake ever. We may have saved £20 but not worth the shit service

@virginmedia No, I didn’t get any estimates. Just a generic “we’re sorry you’re still having issues, our engineers are currently working on it but it’s taking longer than expected” (something along those lines at least).

It is beginning to look like @virginmedia have fraudulently sold us a package that was not available to me due to the many reasons that your various customer service team members mentioned before they hung up by putting me on “hold” and made me ring back...

@virginmedia Yes, I understand that issues happen, but it would be nice to know more than just “we’re currently having issues”. If someone told me “a bolt of lightning from that thunderstorm you had hit the cabinet and fried it” or something, we’d probably be a lot more understanding.

I know I'm flogging a dead horse where with this customer service tweets. But I've spent a collective hour and a half on hold trying to cancel @virginmedia as they only let you do it through the phone, but don't actually pick up. Genius idea really

@virginmedia what rubbish service. We have had no Internet since yesterday night. Resorting to mobile to message. Called virgin media today and they can't get an engineer out till 27th. Are you for real? No resolution. Asked for team leader call and nothing..

@JimBoardman @virginmedia What did you get in the end Jim? My contract has a few months left but seems likely I'll need to cancel. Already pay £96

@virginmedia I’m no expert but even I know you can’t extend a wifi signal via any piece of kit if the signal is failing to come into the router. So how do I speak to someone at a level above your Indian call centre who wants to defraud me of money I do not need to spend?
-
Kimberley Turner
(@kimturner70) reported
@virginmedia The Indian call centre women is incompetent and I have had to put the phone down. I’m furious. How dare she treat me like that. I want a number to speak to someone who lives in the UK. PM me

@virginmedia How can I register my broadband being down? The service checker doesn’t work properly and the online chat doesn’t work either. Messages for WhatsApp just don’t come through. Can I chat to someone here? Thanks :)

@virginmedia After looking on the forum I've seen numerous threads on the issue, is this a nationwide fault at the moment?

@virginmedia can you please just admit you value new customers over 20yrs plus ones? @BT want to help a family out?

(@iShieldsi) reported
@virginmedia OK, and not to come across rude, but If numerous others have posted and not got replies/issues resolved I fail to see how posting myself will benefit the situation in anyway, this is 4 days of the same problem now
-
Kimberley Turner
(@kimturner70) reported
@virginmedia So when your system fails you’re telling customers it’s because the wifi signal through their home needs boosting and you will charge them more for the pleasure. I have signal extenders. But no extender can extend a signal that’s not coming into the router 😡

@virginmedia OK please contact me, but like a lot of people who I can see have complained online i'm pretty fed up with Virgin's customer service. Let's see if it's any better today.
