@virginmedia ..i don't know what manager in any way of life won't speak to a customer! I called back and spoke to another member of the team, who has logged it as a complaint, a manager is calling me today and he is looking what he can do for a 93 year old. Being forced to pay £105 a month...

@virginmedia @virginhelp We have just signed up for a broadband/phone package. We were recommended by a friend. They never gave us a code though as they are a pensioner. We were told to simply give her details in but the operative would not accept. Can we still get a code after?

@Virgin @virginmedia I've had no Internet now for 14 days and my bill is due in 2 days. This is disgusting service, your call centre staff are useless, your engineers are useless, this is appalling for £52 a month. Sort the problem out now.

@virginmedia I would like to raise a formal complaint with the way I have been treated by your team today please. Your so called “Customer Service” is shocking and should be renamed “Customer Victimisation”. It is now my intention to cancel my contract after over 5 years loyalty

@virginmedia Internet is down in our area since Monday. I keep getting multiple emails saying it'll be fixed by 12pm tomorrow, then 4pm Wednesday 12pm Thursday, 12pm Friday and now 4pm Friday. None of your call centre staff can help us we've spent hours on hold this week.

@virginmedia The guy was the most arrogant person I've ever spoke to in CS, retentions is meant to be the end of the line, if it was my service and not my wife's 93 year old nan i'd have cancelled the contract. I asked to speak to a manager and was told "managers don't speak to customers"....

@virginmedia Oh my apologies John, I should have said text to the number previously provided, to which we had no response (at the point of my second tweet). They have responded now, but with no resolution. Do you want to see the 23 message interaction which still leaves us no further forward?

@virginmedia hi can you advise how I can get help for my elderly neighbour. She badly needs a new TiVo as hers isn’t recording properly. She’s tried many times to get through to 150 and hasn’t been successful. I know you can’t discuss with me but I’d like to help her get sorted

@virginmedia Can you advise how existing customers are meant to contact you? I have never known a company with such poor customer service! No email address, no online chat and days on the phone for sometimes up to an hour with no response! There is no other company like it!
