  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @foxinthebox2010 @virginmedia It was a customer insight survey sent to me by email. Gives you no chance to really voice your opinion as it’s just pushing the new box.

  • macintosh74 Alan Macintosh (@macintosh74) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia disgusting customer service trying to help elderly parents spent 50 mins on phone to be transferred and cut off, ring back same again then oh sorry closed now terrible all we needed was a replacement sim.

  • Gemsy8382 Gemma Sargeant (@Gemsy8382) reported from London, England

    Unbelievable! My mums internet service is having problems. The call centre seem unable to deal with this. This has been going on for months. I'm still on hold. If it's not sorted today you're losing a customer @virginmedia

  • ValetShoeDoc Valet@Shoe-Doc (@ValetShoeDoc) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Virgin Boardband why for the last 3 THURSDAY in a row that there is a Boardband outage in the RM26QD area. We work in a society where companies allow working from home. Called Customer Service who was just reading a script and repeating himself. Sort it out Virgin

  • mgrazia_baf sbruffoncella #antifa🇮🇹🇪🇺🇬🇧🌋 (@mgrazia_baf) reported from London, England

    In a world that runs on the net if you are a @virginmedia customer you have to wait 4 days for an engineer to fix a modem, installed only in November 2018. IT’S NOT A JOKE!!! Thank you for letting me loose a day of work and 3 days worth of studying. #virginbroadband

  • BenAlderweireld Mate Parlov (@BenAlderweireld) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia omds can you sort out your ‘service’

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @foxinthebox2010 @virginmedia You do have a point @foxinthebox2010 though because they were asking if customers would be willing to pay £20 one off fee, then £15, £10, £5...which implies they could afford to upgrade for free but just want to squeeze more money of out their customers. We’ve had awful service

  • RyanTCB Ryan (@RyanTCB) reported from Basildon, England

    I hate phoning virgin media at weekends and getting the Indian support centre 🤬

  • ukwip Anthony Cohen (@ukwip) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Area issue. Fix by 12 July 4:50pm

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @foxinthebox2010 @virginmedia The £20, £15, £10 down to £5 smacked of desperation really! Just give me the bloody box. We’ve been with you long enough!!!!!

  • beckylucydell Becky Dell (@beckylucydell) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia your service is a joke. Just taken me 32 minutes to change my bank details on the phone. Call centre staff should be able to speak the same language as your customers to a standard high enough to be able to do the job. Such a waste of time 😩😩😩

  • Formanaterr Eruptiion (@Formanaterr) reported from Romford, England

  • SCantello Sally Cantello (@SCantello) reported

    @virginmedia How do I raise a complaint without spending yet more hours on the phone? I’ve been trying to sort the problems but still don’t have a resolution. People promise to sort it but then never come back to you. It gets more and more Byzantine every day…

  • st_eppel David Grunwald (@st_eppel) reported

    Another working week another @virginmedia outage. Such a farce.

  • billybobjim2469 Billy Bob (@billybobjim2469) reported

  • st_eppel David Grunwald (@st_eppel) reported

    @virginmedia No. Seems to have come back up but experience says it never stops just once.

  • Guppyworld007 Guppyworld (@Guppyworld007) reported

    @virginmedia #virginmedia i have been without Internet for a month now... A MONTH..you have provided no contingency for any back up, I've used up all my mobile data. Can you please help..I work from home and this is impacting me financially. Please help

  • helloiang Ian Grant (@helloiang) reported

    @virginmedia As we had to relocate due to our place being flooded - we tried to transfer our service to the new place but Virgin didn't have a network connection there. Rich told us it was our choice to move there (despite being flooded out) and were liable for the cancellation fee.

  • hawkeyephil87 Phil (@hawkeyephil87) reported

    @virginmedia I am using the sky sports app and then clicking the vm logo and trying to login with my vm details but as you can see from the picture it doesn’t work

  • billybobjim2469 Billy Bob (@billybobjim2469) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t use wired if you’re referring to lan cable, the main issue is on the phone. I keep getting disconnected from calls and my messages are hardly sending

  • PokoArts PokoArts (@PokoArts) reported

    never use @virginmedia cable, get disconnected every so often, it will be very frustrating if you are in the middle of a game or even a trade when that happens. Just spend a little more to go for a more reliable provider
