    @virginmedia Hi John Thank you for offering to assist. Internet is no better. Unstable and keeps dropping out cannot work from home as it cannot keep up with demands nor can my son effectively work online for school. Service in 2021 as poor as it was throughout 2020 🙄

    @virginmedia so we’ve been with out our tv service since yesterday morning. The service checker has had the fixed time extended twice. What is going on?

    @virginmedia @NetflixUK You may as well not have a customer services team. I’ve spoken to one helpful person in the 53 days I’ve been chasing Virgin for my install.

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England

    @virginmedia Yes. A third party has just arrived to pull cables and they can’t do their work because Virgin haven’t actioned the construction. 9 weeks down the line and it hasn’t even been actioned from your end. So poor.

    @virginmedia now 2 weeks without a workable wifi. Complex Issue in area, said expected fix by Friday, still nothing. Any chance of an update on the SO15 area? Need to know if ill be to commuting somewhere next week for work again….

  • DIZZYDJC
    Daniel John 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@DIZZYDJC) reported from West End, England

    My internet is painfully slow tonight. Checked my router and it's not that, it's the internet itself. What is going on @virginmedia ? Your status says no faults but I can assure you there is. I am paying for 1GB bb and so far only reaching speeds of about 2.25 mb- explain??

    @evans81uk @virginmedia Get on the phone. Or live chat. Bring that price back down. Normally everyone Virgin bring in a price increase im very quick to bring it back down

  • SimDendy
    Sim Dendy (@SimDendy) reported from Romsey, England

    Apologies if you can’t get hold of me - @virginmedia have ‘blacklisted’ my phone even though I am not a Virgin customer. After many hours/phone calls they are still unable to explain why & have said I need to write a letter (!) to escalate further 🤯 - any better ideas out there?

  • crumblechris
    chris (@crumblechris) reported from Winchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi - so the fault that is still ongoing, 24 hours+ now, and the fault line said would fixed by 11pm last night. Now the fault line says it’s being worked on - and no update for residents….please advise what is going on and an ETA for the fix? Thanks

    I have a go at customer service a lot, but with the move @virginmedia were great, @thameswater exemplary, @SouthernWater a great guy on customer helpline and Test Valley Council efficient and personable. It can be done, you know.

  • JFeathjav
    James Featherstone (@JFeathjav) reported from Southampton, England

    @davenevin @virginmedia Luckily their customer service is excellent 🥴

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England

    @virginmedia Come on! This is as lazy as your customer service. Of course I have service.

  • Duckocide
    Duckocide Games (@Duckocide) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia Yeah. Done all that a number times. I've spoken to tech support. Awaiting an engineer call. I'll leave this conversation here. Appreciate your attention but running those tests will just get me to the book an appointment or thrown out. I've run them a lot. Thanks. Ttfn

  • simonnewby
    Simon Newby (@simonnewby) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia I do have a reference bit this is exactly the standard (or total lack) of service I have received for the last 4 weeks, hence the open complaint. Not one person from Virgin has contacted me in any way in that time, despite at least weekly promises like this one.

  • Duckocide
    Duckocide Games (@Duckocide) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia So I'm told after speaking to you. Not seeing it on service page though. Agent said there was network issue.

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Ampfield, England

    @virginmedia It seems like nobody @ Virgin is willing to intervene and sort this out. As a result Virgin just keep setting install dates and cancelling. The cycle repeats over and over. Customer service don’t help, despite me calling everyday.

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England

    @virginmedia The call back was organised by your virgin customer services because nobody seems to know what’s going on with my install. I think the hope was that the area manager might know. I’m not even exaggerating.

    GlenEagle. Better society now for disabled. (@BurnheadMax) reported

    @virginmedia The fact you've taken money when you shouldn't have and then wonder why your bill wasn't paid is called 'basic business'. If you compound your error by not allowing people to sign in, chances of resolution diminish. It's not rocket science.

  • CraigA3
    Craig Aldridge (@CraigA3) reported

    @virginmedia I have messaged you team online, replied to their emails and tried calling. But your team told me my package wouldn't change as I moved home then have sent me a contract for 4x as much and then decided to not pass security with me to fix. It's an evil scam

    Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8k_Best_IPTV23 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies

  • sarahrsav
    sarah🌹 (@sarahrsav) reported

    Imagine being half way through a chat with virgin media about WiFi not working. It then kicks me off cause of intermittent WiFi in the area (issue I’ve had for about 7 months lol) and now I can’t get back on to it. What a waste of 50 mins of my life

  • Dr_SReshamwalla
    Sophie Reshamwalla (@Dr_SReshamwalla) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely appalling customer service. Been a customer for years. I have an ongoing complaint with a complaint reference number but nobody at virgin is replying. I’m trying on here to see if there is a human who can respond. Virgin can you respond??

  • AlloquiStrix
    Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported

    If it took me over a week to fix a network problem (it will actually be 10 days when @virginmedia get around to fixing our problem) I would have been fired. And you can't seem to register for compensation, even if you follow @virginmedia's own help system

  • AlloquiStrix
    Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported

    @virginmedia an outage in my area since Tuesday. There is supposed to be a means to register for compensation for loss of service, but the website doesn't contain any buttons to do so - are you making it difficult on purpose noting "if you do not register you don't qualify"?

  • AshReade
    Ashley Reade (@AshReade) reported

    @virginmedia You’ve left a vulnerable customer isolated despite a written promise of service until May 2nd. Your staff ADMITTED the error at 13:45 today but a manager just hung up on me. Absolute disgrace. Turn my lifeline service back on now. #VirginMedia #Ofcom

  • clive503
    Clive (@clive503) reported

    @dvoradikal @virginmedia When I left this appalling company, I had so many calls I started calling them out for harassment! If they'd shown that much interest when I complained about intermittent broadband, I might have stayed! So glad I didn't thought! Better service, cheaper price!

  • BathSupporters
    Bath Supporters (@BathSupporters) reported

    @KenTrowbridge3 @virginmedia Worst supplier I have ever had - but we have no choice for full fibre here, so it’s literally the best of a bad bunch. I will change when other providers come in at a heartbeat!
