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!)

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.

@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.

@virginmedia Both wired and not, advised to turn off and back on, diagnostics checked at your end, engineer visit, resulted in all new v6 boxes (x2) and a new internet hub also internal wiring checked and re-connected. Issue seemed to be resolved for a while but after then goes off altogether

@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).

@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 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!!

@virginmedia It’s been going on for months, I have had all new boxes and hub but it still goes down. I have been told to keep my local engineer up to date. There is nothing the help desk can do we have tried everything

@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.

@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.

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 @idriselba Worst service. Broadband hasn't been working for a week, fixed by 16th I'm told. Spent 1 hour on the phone to cancel my contract, was passed on service to service, was told it's going to impact my work as I freelance (funny how the information I provide is used to keep me smh)

Jake Wilde
(@JakeWilde) reported
@virginmedia The tv signal keeps going fuzzy and pixilated. All connections are in properly, and have rebooted the box about 20 times . It’s been saying on your website that engineers are working on it for the last 3 months. Could I need a new box.

Not only are @virginmedia incompetent @VirginMoney are a shambles too. 100+ minutes just to get bereavement team to answer the phone? 11 hours total on phone so far plus having to visit branch who are rude and inconsiderate. Our life has been a nightmare with Virgin this year!

@virginmedia very disappointed with my interaction with customer service this am, online deals only for new customers. Doesn't mention this in ads

Manija
(@Manija_92) reported
@virginmedia I called customer service about price increase and was offered a great deal which I agreed to. When I called to double check, they told me the agreed contract will be much more than what I was told. This is unacceptable. Please call me to discuss immediately.

(@terrypaul1985) reported
@virginmedia I tried to give you notice via Whatsapp which is where I was directed to, been doing that since Monday and got frustrated with the diabolical service. I waited for hours of dealing with stupid automated responses. Clear sign you care nothing about customers.
