@virginmedia is this the kind of bad service we now have to pay for? Charging us fibre prices but getting slow speed, can’t call the contact centre. Internet as slow as a sloth in TN233JA area This is very bad service

@virginmedia Having just looked at model photos it's the Hub 4 I have, set to Modem Mode. The connection drop problem is with the Hub itself (the solid white ring light then starts glowing to show it is "connecting"), so the connection drop affects both wired and wireless connections.

Virgin Media Customer Care Complaints Services always fails to come up with solutions. Rather, they continually offer verbose replies referring Customers elsewhere with endless phone numbers. Their standard is totally below the expected minimum!

@tryingattimes @virginmedia 100% correct took ages to cancel my 80yo mum's service when my dad got vascular dementia. They sent me all sorts of patronising messages on here. All designed to extract money from vulnerable people. STEER WELL CLEAR!

@virginmedia can anyone in the UK retentions department actually listen to a call and call a customer back? I've tried calling this morning to check progress after more than 2 weeks and the people answering the phone can't understand what I'm asking I've been hung up on 3 times

Well laters #virginmedia I will be off to sky when the contracts up next month. Terrible service, no TV again today and yet you still call me everyday to get me to take out another contract.

@virginmedia and after a previous phone call a few weeks ago where your adviser said we could write a letter of complaint, we have still received no response in writing as requested and today been told it’s not your policy to reply? Terrible service!

@virginmedia another poor lengthy phone call with one of your customer service advisers following being mis-sold your services. Refusal to listen to our original telephone calls where we were mis-sold the service and refusal to accept any responsibility.

@virginmedia So your code of practice section 3. Your case will remain open for 28 days so you'll have enough time to review and consider our proposal. Erm you've closed it after 2 days. Your service gets better

@virginmedia No. I received an email stating I didn't need to sign a new contract and it was classed as a service change.

@virginmedia on top of hundreds of spam junk emails we have umpteen scam calls on the landline. Very day I am getting increasingly saddened by Virgin Media’s inability to stop scammers and spam flooding my system. Very expensive terrible service

@virginmedia What's happening virgin media? Can't gain access to my account because you've decided to make me link it to an O2 id account, I'm not at O2 customer. What is the point of offering a service which clearly doesn't work.

@virginmedia @chaitu99 Unbelievable that it’s taking so long. The trouble shooting step in your link is saying to register for a Virgin Media account but we already have an account.

@virginmedia please can someone contact me. I no longer have access to the e-mail address associated with my account, therefore cannot login to my virgin media and cannot change the e-mail address associated. Help! Also your internet is awful at the moment but can't run any tests

@virginmedia Believe it or not, still no change. It says that the email linked to my account is [object OBJECT] so I can’t link it to my virgin media 02. I’ve told god knows how many advisors this and no one is helping. I’m getting tempted to cancel and go back to sky

@virginmedia I’ve been with Virgin Media for two weeks and haven’t been able to log into my account, I’ve spoken to so many advisors who tell me to wait anywhere between 24-72 hours and try again. Terrible costumer service so far, no one seems to have a clue what they’re doing.
