@virginmedia Tbh the 5 minutes of dead air before I put the phone down on your colleague who was "just seeing what she could do" didn't help your cause much

@virginmedia I've already tried calling. The agent wouldn't accept what I was saying and basically called me a liar so I tweeted you & you advised me to file a complaint on the website to which I've received no response at all. I feel my only chance of a result is to take it to CISAS.

@virginmedia Unreliable & intermittent Broadband, no Sky Atlantic but most importantly very poor customer service as justified by this thread - I’d rather rather speak to a person real time

Really disappointed with @virginmedia call centre staff this evening, asking 10 times in the space of 20 minutes to speak to a supervisor to resolve an issue is not good enough

Just had my first bill from @TalkTalk, from whom I get the broadband speed I pay for, whereas with @virginmedia I got half what I paid for at twice the price. Should’ve switched in any of those 15 years I was a loyal customer getting terrible customer service!

@virginmedia not a happy customer at all. My phoneis not working at all, not turning on. I pay insurance thru virgin. I called them 2day to see if it could be repaired, they said no and Ive gotta pay £80 excess for a replacement. It doesnt state this in my contract.

@ObsessiveJohn @virginmedia They don’t have any competitors for speed, but that means customer service is complacent. The strongest guarantee with them is that you will not get the speed you pay for during peak times (evenings and weekends), and they won’t care!

@virginmedia That would be useful if I could actually read the pages on my phone but all the stuff at the bottom of the page covers the messages. The whole experience with Virginmedia is crap. Your service, you fix it. No I have to spend hours, days, weeks trying to do it for you.

@virginmedia Your broadband stopped working in London W14 on Wed night and still not working. Cell centre folks said there’s a problem in this area and should be fixed by noon, then by 4pm and still not working. When are you going to fix the problem?
