  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia There’s no known issues. I shouldn’t have to spend 30 mins on hold trying to get through to you to have an issue corrected that hasn’t been done as part of my contract agreement. Shouldn’t you be able to call customers when you have an agent free who can make outgoing calls?

  • joanreece jo m b (@joanreece) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia why is your internet so rubbish? We get a bit of rain and wind and the whole TV goes off with no connectivity its woeful. We have sat here for a few hours now with no tv at all and were paying £49 a month for wifi that doesnt work!!!

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia we have been trying to arrange our virgin services to be moved to our new house since 23/11/20. We were supposed to get a call back from one of your guys yesterday to help with a self install - no joy. Since yesterday I’ve spent over 3 hours on hold, been.......1/4

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia ....before going to lunch. Your system is set to terminate unanswered calls after just over an hour. This is much more enraging than having to wait in a queue. We’re British, it’s what we do. We DO NOT HANG UP on people. It is beyond rude. #rude #virginmediasuck #stillnointernet

  • JoeHolmes1994 Joe (@JoeHolmes1994) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia are actually have the WORST customer service ever. No wonder they have never won any awards

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I get the same result hard wired with Ethernet too. It’s not a wifi issue. Also I’m not sure how wifi would decide to ignore an increase in speed and decide to limit itself to the old speed coincidentally. Someone on your end hasn’t enabled the faster speed to my property.

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia The hold times aren’t the issue. I’d wait happily if I got an answer at the end. The issue is being hung up on after an hour then having a call answered only to have to listen to dead air for over 30 minutes while whoever is supposed to be helping has forgotten to logout ....1/2

  • leehow2 Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia I want my money back this is awful it's unwatchable #JoshuaPulev

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Hi John. Still no resolution I’m afraid. It’s getting closer to next bill date. Which BTW I’ve received two bills for. One at £27.49 and the other £113.00 and a double bill request which is laughable! I still don’t get why the next gen box is influencing my request. Today please

  • Daveyb1974 David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    Great work from @virginmedia, your contract has expired, we want you to stay as a customer, we’ll give you the best deal out there! Give them a call, sorry can’t help, you’re on the best package, but we want to charge you £40 a month more than a new customer! #shitshow

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia No, I have one. The complaint referenced twice in this thread. One complaint....zero call backs!!!

  • m_stephens8 macauley stephens (@m_stephens8) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia is the worst for speaking to an actually person🤯 adding packages unauthorised then making the bill nearly double.. jokers

  • Daveyb1974 David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    @nickleeland @virginmedia I asked to speak to someone that could help and got “my supervisor is on 14 day isolation”. Ok put him on the phone as I’m guessing he can work from home? Computer says no! Poor poor service!

  • torisprung Tori Sprung (@torisprung) reported from Liverpool, England

    @SkyHelpTeam We haven’t been booked in. Following some quick and informative enquiries, @virginmedia can install a new service in 3days; yet, a @SkyUK engineer can’t come out to us for over a week? When we pay a monthly small fortune, this all feels like terrible customer service

  • Daveyb1974 David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia This is the exact type of poor service I received when I called customer service. The package I am currently on is £89 for a new customer, but £129 for a loyal customer. The response back was “that’s all I can do”. Your response is almost as bad “don’t like it, raise a complaint”

  • DarrenMoggie66 Darren (@DarrenMoggie66) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia how can you put my bill up yet new customers can have the same for £30.00 cheaper ,20 years a valued customer but no incentives to renew my contract

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia The text messaging team that says it aims to respond within 4 hours but hasn’t responded to me since 11am yesterday? Basically I have no option now but to sit on hold in a queue for 30+ mins to fix a problem you’ve created by not upgrading me. Your customer service is awful.

  • cadeharry Nightsky Ceilings (@cadeharry) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia You are the worse Internet provider in the PR postcode what has happened 4weeks now intermittent service its like flip a coin to see if the Internet is working. And the lies about adjusting my bill has never happened time to say goodbye.

  • lynielou72 Lyne (@lynielou72) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia No these error has been for weeks, they bought a new TV today because they thought that was the problem it isn't and we can't speak to a human being.

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    Nearly a week after signing up to a new contract with @virginmedia they’ve still not upgraded my speed to what we agreed to. Their Twitter support refuses to acknowledge the issue and my complaint hasn’t been picked up yet. I guess they don’t care once a contract is agreed.

    once again trying to stream and @virginmedia cuts off, the 4th april cant come quick enough, finally sack this **** provider off

  • mattlangford06 matt (@mattlangford06) reported

    Told my wifi will take 8 weeks to install after waiting 4 weeks and told I am not eligible for a refund. I have chased countlessly and now been told I am not eligible for a refund. Awful customer service @virginmedia

  • dontthinkso2020 Michelle M (@dontthinkso2020) reported

    @virginmedia Paying for a service I don’t receive yet again, and you’ve just price prices up too!!!

  • simon_crisp Simon Crisp (@simon_crisp) reported

    @virginmedia I appreciate it's not you personally that's responsible, but this is how companies lose custom - I had to cancel various other things at the same time and every other company had a simple, easy process, whilst Virgin seemed hell bent on making it as difficult as possible...

  • Ronceritos155 Piolin (@Ronceritos155) reported

    @virginmedia I already cancel my contract. After 7 months of unreliable service, one engineer visit and 2 replacement of equipment and several calls to your “customer service” I had enough. Thanks

  • PhilSkelly67 Phil Skelton (@PhilSkelly67) reported

    Now unable to sign in to @virginmedia at all, how convenient that nobody can sign in to register a loss of service complaint. TV, Broadband and landline been down since 9am this morning. When I could sign in the expected "fix time" was 7.45 pm, again very convenient.

  • robmorleyuk Robert Morley (@robmorleyuk) reported

    @virginmedia I get what you are saying. Request 4th Feb, billing is subsequent. VM fail to advise on problems then what is internal to VM is not my issue. Also - it is legal for me to record those phone calls. I checked.

  • Juliega66 Julie gay (@Juliega66) reported

    @virginmedia yet another day of loss of internet service. On the top package and yet still have to reset hub 3 or 4 times a day. Working off TP links now as wifi in a 3 bedroom house is shocking. Registered for boosters but not heard a thing. Time for a change I think!

  • davidjb1988 David Bowman (@davidjb1988) reported

    @virginmedia Please can you ask them to call me? They appear to have completely misunderstood the complaint I submitted.

  • filsandesigns Filsan (@filsandesigns) reported

    @virginmedia A few things but the main reason for the call was to terminate the braodband and tv subscription that we currently have. Please could I have a direct number to complete this?
