@virginmedia It was with regards to my services.. When I phoned about it the lack of professionalism was horrendous.. When I mentioned the lack of professionalism I was basically told what is your problem. Awful really

@virginmedia I signed up and got my install on Saturday the 2nd. I was trying to login to my account via the App and through a webpage with me not hearing anything regarding my first billing process And it's not letting me do so I just get an error message saying that my user does not exist.

@virginmedia <sigh> suppose I really shouldn’t have thought that you would provide a good customer service experience based on my experience of my recent dealings. Sad; Virgin Media used to be pretty awesome. Disappointed.

@virginmedia Almost like you didn't read my original message... Your stock answer STILL doesn't ring true, just repeating the phrase I quoted in my original message to me again doesn't help one little bit

Great customer services at @virginmedia this morning.Waited 28mins for phone to be answered then to be given a phone number that says there’s no issues. F1 starts in less than an hour #lookingfornewprovider

@McGiff @virginmedia I am having exactly the same problem over roaming charges for a country I’ve not been anywhere near a, appalling service and been told tough pay or they take me to court! At my wits end!

@virginmedia I’m sick of resetting that hub it’s supposed to be 100mb fibre I had less trouble with my dial up! Do you supply boosters as you can take it out before I spend money to make up for your awful service

@Paulout @BT @virginmedia I can’t believe how bad BT have been over this. Advisors just seem to want to keep you talking even after taking 20+ mins to get through and then do nothing for you. Proper fed up 🙁

@virginmedia just had the misfortune to speak to the rudest person ever whilst trying to sort out my abysmal connection speed when she put the phone down on me after a 20 minute wait!!

@virginmedia Unfortunately not, I even gave two phone numbers and an email, just want to know if there is an issue local to me or if it’s a network issue, I can deal with downtime but drop outs and high latency really are frustrating, can’t really have another half a day off work...

@virginmedia @virginmedia I’m glad it sorted itself out as the customer service woman said id need a new hub which she said she’d order and would arrive Tuesday (6/8/19). Which it hasn’t. I’m glad I didn’t need it #virginmedia

@virginmedia Yes absolutely, soon as we landed I got the message saying I was in Greece and could use my mobile exactly the same as in the UK. At no point did it say to check for other countries in case they stole my network! I had been on the same network all week from 26th August

@Virgin_Victoria @virginmedia 1hr and 10mins later after speaking with CS they have confirmed that they cannot help me with my matter and a ticket has been raised which VM will be in touch with me by SMS within 5 working days. CS loved talking too me when I signed up a month ago. #virginmedia

@virginmedia shocked and appalled by the rude and aggressive manner of one of your agents just now during an unsolicited sales call.

@virginmedia I am not stupid I get that! However, the text I received said welcome to Greece you can use your phone exactly the same as if in the uk so I had absolutely no reason to switch roaming off when I never left the resort. I have kept the texts which state exactly that

@virginmedia There have been issues in the area since MAY. That is the problem. First with no fix at all until last week, then with a fix that didn't last. Every day that it happens, it always happens at about 10am. Doesn't that seem like something that should be properly investigated?

@happer71 @virginmedia I’ve had to call so many times to get through to advisors who just put the phone down and I am unable to speak to managers. I’ve put in a complaint I would advise you to do the same. Then they have the audacity to say I’m going to be charged me for a service I am not using!

@happer71 @virginmedia Yes managed to get package after going online and messaging an advisor then asking to speak to manager. Manager then called me and took charge of the whole complaint. With virgin i have had no resolution and no manager had the common decency to call me or help me.

@virginmedia Thanks but we really wanted to watch the fight we paid for tbh. Do you know what the problem was as it seems lots of people had same issue? We'd also like to pay less than £46/month for basic tv & internet. Can you help with waiving cancellation fees at all pls?

@virginmedia I also reported this on the support forum and nobody from VM replied. Work was finally undertaken a week last Thurs and Fri (11,12/08) which took all 3 services off for the day on the Thurs and this seemed to do the trick, until now.
