    @virginmedia trying to get one of my boxes switched on and your abysmal customer service has no clue to what I’m asking for. Prepare for cancellation. Disgraceful service. Over an hour on the phone.

    @virginmedia I didn’t create a post on the forum I looked on for advice but to be honest if you cannot get me the help I need to get started it doesn’t put much trust in you. I would then have to wait how long for a technician to come out for you to charge me for this service?

  • jamboross
    Ross R MacLean (@jamboross) reported from East Kilbride, Scotland

    @virginmedia I was extremely impressed with the service that I received tonight to arrange for my services to be looked at on the 3rd of October. The handlers manners were perfect and I'm delighted with the service that we received. Please pass this onto him, thanks.

    @virginmedia Hi, it's been like this since last Thursday. Our Tivo box is constantly flashing and apps don't work as we have no Internet probably. Internet not worked since then. Its a real issue as we need Internet to work.

  • Lshire_Laird
    The Lanarkshire Laird (@Lshire_Laird) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    So @virginmedia broadband and tv appears to be down (again) for hours and their webpage to check service status is offline. I’m currently having to connect my work laptop to my personal phone just to work. This is not good!

    Angela Kyle (@Lomondsmum) reported from Wishaw, Scotland

    @virginmedia The ability of your agents has never been questioned and is not my reason for asking. I will let you know how I get on with my new router, my second new router in 6 months.

  • FrancescaDocher
    Francesca Docherty (@FrancescaDocher) reported from Overtown, Scotland

    Keep seeing these adverts for @virginmedia for stream. I can't get a signal if I am more than 6 feet away from the router and the signal booster they sent out is useless won't be bothering with their new service as tge service I have now is rubbish

    @virginmedia Are you serious??? Have you tried calling that JOKELINE??? Well I have 8 times now, no one competent enough to deal with complaint

  • ThistleTigger
    Joan Murdoch (@ThistleTigger) reported from Dennistoun, Scotland

    @virginmedia No, it's not fixed. Same thing happening now as it did yesterday. Alexa cannot connect to Internet, yet my phone can. Echo Dot has been checked and is fine so problem is with @virginmedia

  • VikkiRobb
    Vikki Robb (@VikkiRobb) reported from East Kilbride, Scotland

    @virginmedia I’ve tried this too.. I’ve honestly had enough now and would prefer to cancel

    @quigley_mick @virginmedia @virginmedia service is getting worse mick I’m thinking of a change far too dear as well

  • Lshire_Laird
    The Lanarkshire Laird (@Lshire_Laird) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    Hi @virginmedia after 2 weeks of repeated calls and being promised a new remote ordered each time when it wasn’t, I finally reached a customer service agent called Maciej Betnat who took the time yesterday and today to help. He is great & I want to see that this is recognised. 👏🏻

  • reid2131
    Craig Reid (@reid2131) reported from Larkhall, Scotland

    @virginmedia I had a quick start broadband kit sent out. I fitted it all. No broadband, despite 6 calls to your “help” line. Been told a different fault each call. Can this be looked into?

  • VikkiRobb
    Vikki Robb (@VikkiRobb) reported from East Kilbride, Scotland

    @virginmedia I spoke to a member of the team who said they couldn’t help as I haven’t received my password in the post yet so couldn’t verify who I was. So now I have to wait a further 5 days for a password to come through.

  • spongebath63
    Willem_Wikkelspies (@spongebath63) reported from Dennistoun, Scotland

    @virginmedia What is going on with your customer care(?) line? I call 789, I get an automated voice telling me that calls are not being connected to this number and I'm told to call 789 to speak to a member of the team, so i call 789, I get an automated voice.........!

  • theroddyscott
    Roddy Scott (@theroddyscott) reported from Kirkintilloch, Scotland

    @virginmedia terrible customer service while on the phone to one of your technical staff tonight... put on hold as they don’t have an answer then cut off not once but twice... shambles 😡

  • nuttynanaannie
    Anne Marie McPhee (@nuttynanaannie) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    @virginmedia Hi, thank you for replying. I can't see where to register. I did another service check and it says an intermittent service fault is affecting my area. But gives no guidance/option to register for loss of service. Guidance please.

  • AIcolni
    Andrasi Icolni (@AIcolni) reported from Mollinburn, Scotland

    @virginmedia I most certainly will not be taking anything of issue to the council as my privately owned home is not council property, and your contractors dug into my private garden therefore it's your issue and if I cant resolve it here next step will be Daniel Potts

  • Kirstym82kirsty
    Kirsty (@Kirstym82kirsty) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    @virginmedia unfortunately I don't have 2 days to spend waiting on getting through Watts app is taking upto 5 days for a reply the issue is an overheating router so why can't you just send one

    @virginmedia After spending hours trying to get through to you yesterday on the phone I raised a complaint about that. Solution this morning? ‘Call us’ is this a joke? Are u so think? #dreadfulservice

    Simon Gallagher (@SiGallagher) reported

    So @virginmedia just ignore attempts to contact them on here, meaning a spam/fraud account replies in the comments to try and catch people out. In the absence of any actual help or comms from the official account, people will be caught out. And the website is broken so there's no other way to contact (phones are jam packed)

  • zZrepaC
    CaperZz (@zZrepaC) reported

    What ******** is going on with virgin media! Cant ring, cant chat on webchat, cant speak via whatsapp, cant acess the app, paid my bill ages ago an still the services are not back on! An not 1 ******* thing on socials about a issue @virginmedia

  • MrsBridgford
    Kathryn Bridgford (@MrsBridgford) reported

    @virginmedia what's your average call answering time? Two separate days, had to hang up after an hour. Please help!

  • Samina_masood3
    Samina Masood (@Samina_masood3) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for responding but there is no sense of urgency in that message ‘respond as soon as possible’ & ‘resolve issue as quick as possible’; have you read the T&Cs & your legal obligations?

  • shooter1981
    Stuart Layton (@shooter1981) reported

    @virginmedia how do I get in contact with you??? Awful experience so far. Over 2 hours on hold so far, online chat kicks me out. Not even been able to activate my account or install equipment and now unable to cancel. Glad I won’t be proceeding with you !!

  • GavFerry
    Gav Ferry (@GavFerry) reported

    @rossmckinley @virginmedia Good luck. We got rid as the price sky rocketed, trying to cancel was a nightmare.

  • grandadthegrey
    Steve H 📷🦋🐝 (@grandadthegrey) reported

    Just spent an hour trying to contact a human at @virginmedia but failed. Customer service line useless. Chat didn't work. Web site takes you round in circles and does not solve what I wanted to know.

    billy winter (@billywi56359173) reported

    @virginmedia can’t say I’m surprised to see I’m not the only person struggling with your shocking service, internets been cutting out on and off for weeks and every time I’ve tried to get support online it says ‘check back in 24 hours if you’re having the same issues’ t

  • piggywiggiewoo
    Frankie Mary (@piggywiggiewoo) reported

    @virginmedia my elderly mum was put on hold on the phone for nearly two hours waiting to speak to an agent and has given up. You are massively overcharging her and she needs to talk to you about her bill. Why aren't you answering the phone? I'm shocked by such poor service

  • nickytrickster
    nicky kaleniuk (@nickytrickster) reported

    @virginmedia urgently trying to get through to customer services as my emails have gone down and was on hold with the most annoying music, and then was cut off dead at exactly 2 hours.
