    @virginmedia So I won’t have 4+ months of grief, demands for an account that is cancelled and debt collectors letters for that account then? That’s a relief as your behaviour with my account has worn me down whilst grieving for my Dad but it’s not stopped you….

  • sarah_mcginty
    Sarah McGinty (@sarah_mcginty) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia issues again with tv & Internet, seems to be a theme for this week as not first time .There is nothing on service status :-( any idea?!

    @_JC8 @virginmedia @virginmedia Hi can somebody please contact me regarding an issue I have with my virgin account please?

  • formula1girl
    Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England

    @virginmedia So another 90 minute chat with no resolution? That’s fine I’m going to raise an official complaint as this is NOT good customer service at all.

  • WebbTowers
    Trevor Webb (@WebbTowers) reported from Hedge End, England

    Hi Is there a problem in the SO30 area? @virginmedia

  • 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.

  • Alec2306
    Alec Clapperton (@Alec2306) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia I have done all of this multiple times and nothing has come up. Today has been particularly bad where I lose signal every 5 minutes. I don’t need to keep doing the troubleshooting steps, I need a new router or an engineer

    I'm gonna summarise 2 things I've developed a verdict on since my tv broke down. the @virginmedia app for windows = perfect. works great. the @SkySports app for windows = ******* horrendus! i dont understand why sky sports needs a separate app to watch them

  • DmitriusOld
    Dmitri Old (@DmitriusOld) reported from Over Wallop, England

    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.

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

    @virginmedia I rang pre installs 3 times last week, spending an average of 1hr on the phone, getting no where nobody in preinstalls can tel me what’s going on, they just promise to get someone to call me. That call never happens

    Cheers @virginmedia WiFi gone down in the middle of the FA cup semi final. Utter **** as usual

  • leeradcliffe73
    lee Radcliffe (@leeradcliffe73) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp how long do I have to keep paying you a fortune for a terrible internet service which only works when you’re sat next to the router. Crap service as per usual😡😡

  • formula1girl
    Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England

    @sfc_rich @virginmedia You’re absolutely right. Cancelled my account in July yet they’re still billing me claiming they’ve no record of my phone call OR letter. Refuse to cancel my account unless I pay £101.50 which now has gone up to £148.50. #neverlisten #zerocustomerservice

  • rahim94
    Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Southampton, England

    So there's me hoping to watch the #SingaporeGP in full before work then it gets delayed by an hour. **** sake. Thank God for the @virginmedia app. (Dear god I hate working late shifts with a passion) #F1

    @tobygilles @virginmedia @bt_uk Never been offered a booster. Had the hub replaced but has made no difference

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

    @virginmedia So you’re not going to do anything about it, despite knowing it’s destined to let me down. Exactly the same attitude as the rest of virgin. The problem is, it’s taken almost 4 months. This is the issue; deep rooted - Virgin reps don’t care

  • formula1girl
    Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia I cancelled in July (which apparently you have no record of) so I contacted you in Sept when you threatened to cut my service off, that I wasn’t using anymore, and told you I’d cancelled. I’m not paying this!! Absolutely ridiculous!!

    @mouthwaite @virginmedia They are shite!!! We have had the same issue since March last year! Up and down like a yo-yo!!

    You know @btsport, it would be nice to watch the match in UHD, if only the UHD channel wasn't so jittery. 🤦 Whoever's problem it is, whether it's @btsport or @virginmedia, sort it out!!! #RANLIV #ChampionsLeague

    Virgin Media broadband has been down all morning. Tried twice to speak to someone but held in queue for now more than three hours. Utterly useless @virginmedia

  • rossmckinley
    Ross McKinley (@rossmckinley) reported

    Yet more shockingly poor service from @virginmedia. Long standing customer but have been trying for three months now to change my package and can’t because three times now I’ve been told I’ll be called and haven’t! Literally don’t care about their customers at all

  • paulieg1066
    Paul goodhall (@paulieg1066) reported

    @virginmedia got to be the world’s worst customer service been on hold for hours

  • samstephens_96
    Sam Stephens (@samstephens_96) reported

    @virginmedia please can you check your DMs? I have tried contacting your customer service on all other platforms with no avail

  • PC_ale
    Paul Caley (@PC_ale) reported

    @virginmedia After several calls, a site visit we still get error CS2312 when playing VOD content- this has been an outstanding intermittent issue since the v6 upgrade to 360 from TiVo.

  • PC_ale
    Paul Caley (@PC_ale) reported

    @virginmedia the people on web chat not working today? Been getting the still in a queue message for almost the last hour and a half. Is it to raise a complaint? So who do talk to raise a complaint about raising a complaint, as the method to raise a complaint is not working!

    @virginmedia customer service is awful. Cannot find an easy way to contact you. Please would someone resolve this issue for us.

  • Dgjbear1
    Dgjbear (@Dgjbear1) reported

    @virginmedia Hiya. I’ve been on hold trying to get through to your team that deals with retention for an hour. AN HOUR. And you want to increase my monthly fee by 50%? For this level of customer service?

  • Rusty_Barnacle
    Dave #oafc (@Rusty_Barnacle) reported

    @virginmedia have to say I've really enjoyed spending over 15 hours on the phone and 10 of those on hold this week trying to sort my contract out because your salesperson didn't sort it properly. I've been trying to cancel for 2 hours this morning and been left on hold again
