    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I reported a total loss of service on 31/8. It was finally fixed this morning. After no shows, lies and weeks between visits. They have not even offered to cover the cost of my last 3 dd’s which I wish I hadn’t paid as I had no service whatsoever

  • obpls1995

    @virginmedia can you explain why the moment I told your staff over the phone that I was disabled they decided to speak to me as if I was an idiot and then tell me they can't help me because I can't spell out my password despite telling them 5 times what the password was.

    @virginmedia Thanks. Very frustrating and time consuming. Spent whole afternoon trying to sort it. Twitter not really the best way to resolve issues especially with an 82 year old.

    @virginmedia This is not the first time. The service the last 12 months has been shocking And now you're asking for the over the top increase in monthly payments 😡😡😡

    @Virgin @virginmedia I've had no Internet now for 14 days and my bill is due in 2 days. This is disgusting service, your call centre staff are useless, your engineers are useless, this is appalling for £52 a month. Sort the problem out now.

    @virginmedia The nightmare continues!!! Buffering is now a way of life for us. As is watching any programme on a streaming service in short two minute bites!

  • LindzDDub
    Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia I have to say your Internet connection is ridiculous... for months on end, it's been shocking. I'm sick and tired of resetting my hub, I shouldn't be having this issue. Never had so much issue for the years I've had you and now, the past 6 months, I'm paying monies…

    Lovie35 (@freethinker495) reported

    @lucyjaynewhite1 It’s like trying to talk to any customer service over the phone these days. They are all foreigners who dnt have a clue wat they are doing or saying. virgin media is one of the worse.

    @virginmedia And to top it off my data is so bad I'm having to stand by my window its actually laughable if i wasn't so bloody angry

  • geofn3751
    Geoff Naylor (@geofn3751) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, but how can you penalise me for wanting to move to a service provider who can provide the service that you can't?

  • Benji_adams1
    Ben (@Benji_adams1) reported

    @kellyj70 @virginmedia Is yours still down? I am also in the PO6 area.

  • CmucG
    Chris McGregor (@CmucG) reported

    @virginmedia So after the DM discussion there is still no resolution to the package I pay for not being fully available. Just being told to be patient! The compensation offered for not getting the full package I'm paying for is insulting. Not a great way to treat new customers.

  • Tamd536
    Tam (@Tamd536) reported

    attend later in order to connect the fibre optic cable. No engineer attended and today we have had to contact virgin media 3 times by telephone to find out what is happening.Despite being told earlier in the day the issue was being escalated and we would receive an update

  • CryptoPoli
    Poli 🤌 (@CryptoPoli) reported

    @richardbranson your company has THE WORST customer service ever! Total loss of internet for nearly 1 month, multiple missed engineer appointments, incorrect information, multiple escalations and I still have no idea when it'll be resolved! @virginmedia Absolutely the worst!!

  • laankaan

    @virginmedia how stupid is that to push an update to my router/hub in the middle of the ******* day? How the hell am I supposed to work without internet?
