    @virginmedia well done 👏🏽 new way of resolving complaints! Offer a resolution that you know customer won’t accept so you can pass on to an adjudicator… all in a record time of 8mins!!!

  • VanceBulla
    V-Bull (@VanceBulla) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia Faceless customer service. Can’t live chat, can’t chat to anyone on the phone. All they want to do is send you a text or a link to their website. Poor. What am I paying for? Certainly isn’t customer service

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to your cancellations department since Saturday. In total, I have been on hold for 3 hours. 1 hour intervals before you cut me off. Your txt service is SH*T. Your agent introduced himself as working for Three, before he disconnected

    @Benleo @virginmedia Try @NatWindscreens they would give Virgin a run for their money. Tried calling 5 times - different person each time- 5 calls today, 3 emails and voice mail. They have taken my money, realised that window screen needs calibration and offered date in TWO weeks. 3rd world service

    @Benleo @virginmedia Wait wait I can top that, daughter has sky broadband, it went off about 2 months ago, she's rung & rung, told they can't check her service or book an engineer, took the payment last month, this month took 2. Still say they can't check anything. OMFG what a load of rubbish!!

    @Benleo @headofgrey I will see your Virgin media and raise you @BritishGas their customer service is absolutely appalling. Shockingly bad, awful!

  • ACforReformUK
    AndyC (@ACforReformUK) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia This "quality" service is endemic in the UK these days, there's no accountability, if you got £50 for every aborted attempt, you can bet they'd get it done 1st time every time. OFCOM should punish these firms with huge fines and bring in accountability, otherwise this will just go on.

    @virginmedia is the wifi down in the M38 area? My mum can't log into the wifi on her phone or tv and when she tries it says it's not in range

    @Benleo @virginmedia Had the same issue with Vodafone and sky. Both companies upsold to me, then they totally let me down when it came to turning connection on. Vodafone was 2 weeks, sky was 4 days. Its not just 1 company. They're all the same. Contacting them is totally disgraceful
