    @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.

    Paul Regent (@PaulRegent1) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia no internet available in Bolton - must be an outage as, although coverage is very poor, it isn’t usually this poor!!

    @skytv @skytv . I am disappointed with your customer service and technical team . They have disconnected my sky viewing card . Why ?. I want rectifyying ASAP . Or shall I just cancel my subscription and go over to virgin media

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

    @virginmedia 38 days after the repull should’ve been done? You think that’s good customer service?

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia I looked and that says it’s from the day I registered the total loss of service which was yesterday but really it should be from Friday afternoon when I did the online chat. If I DM you can you check?

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been down since Friday afternoon. I was told it would be fixed in 24 hours, the time has since changed and is currently at 8pm this evening. I work from home so need my internet back up and running before Monday morning. This is disgraceful

    @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!

  • ylilxanoi
    🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia my interest been down for a whole week. Call centre staff don't know what to say. An engineer has been on site every single day apparently. Can someone fix my internet. I pay £52 a month this is beyond a joke. I've used all my 4g& bought a ****** dongle just to WFH

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia I'm guessing they don't work Saturday Sunday, so that will take us from Thursday to some point Monday for a resolution? Would it be quick if I phone up, send me a case ref number or something?

  • Duddydudson
    Kevin Dudson (@Duddydudson) reported from Wigan, England

    @NigelJTurner @virginmedia Same for me, I can cancel or change my package by the 28th of march then get a 19% increase on my new package on the 1st of April. Only had my contract 5 months.being **** Turpind here!!!

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Are you wanting me to comment in the broadband section? Can you explain the benefits of this as you won't send an engineer out if there is an issue constantly in the area and your tech team are already aware of it, plus I have the ofcom complaint aswell?

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

    @virginmedia All the while taking my direct debit payments for a service I am not getting

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia You have literally sent me the same link of what I have just screen shot to you to ask me to do the same thing again of the point you have just addressed. 😡😡😡 Fix the bloody problem and get an engineer to my house!

    Diagnostic tests suck, the myvm app sucks, your ai at the end of the phone can't tell the difference between zero and three and I still can't speak to anyone. Is there anything you can do right? @virginmedia

    @mdf200 @virginmedia Someone actually with something nice to say about Virgin media. That's a first. We're legacy Telewest>Virgin users here, never really had any issues in 24 years.

  • AshmoreWalton
    Chance Walton-Ashmore (he/him) (@AshmoreWalton) reported

    @virginmedia after asking to change my payment date 4 times and extra on the chat and app. Also being told it’s been changed. Now I’m told it cannot be done due to a system issue and maximum amount of changes have been taken. It hasn’t been changed. Terrible customer service.

    Alison Baddley (Ali) 🇬🇧 (@alibee2006) reported

    @TVKev Omg that's all we need. It's bad enough talking to a bot when you phone companies like Virgin Media. Sorry I didn't get that. My response whilst going nuts. Human please NOW! How the hell are the elderly and vulnerable supposed to cope with this?! Human receptionists NOT AI.
