  • CRMann78 NYPD Blue (@CRMann78) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Been with Virgin for 5 days of dreadful customer service, how can a mobile set up result in loss of all subscribed tv channels, held in queue for over an hour is the norm, will be cancelling my contract due to this total mismanagement #VirginMediaSucks

  • elisanarbs Elisa Narborough (@elisanarbs) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia no internet for two hours now: Wifi light green and base light is flashing green, service status in wa1 area said no known issues, please help!

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

    @SkyHelpTeam I’m on Facebook Messenger and three times I appear to have been passed around to another agent, three time’s being asked to provide my name and info. Then get told someone will be with me. This is really poor customer service. Come back @virginmedia, all is forgiven.

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

    30 mins on hold to @virginmedia so far. Absolutely awful customer service. Again.

  • Kimbow21 kimberley Goodinson (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I’m disgusted I’ve been a customer for 15 years and more . You’ve put the price up by £20. The very unhelpful person on the phone offered me a £2 discount . Disgusting back to Sky .

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

    @virginmedia You could at least have an option to call back customers rather than keeping them on hold. Again, this is really poor customer service.

  • cudda69 Denis Cudahy (@cudda69) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia absolute joke cancelled my contract beginning August because of issues ever since its been installed, looked at at my bill I'm still being charged, all equipment in a box so it's not used you have signed me up again for 12 month WTF #jokers

  • JamesRead78 James Read (@JamesRead78) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia need to chat with someone about lowering my bill £100 per month is getting ridiculous! Tried using the chat function on the app but it's not working

  • WiganpierprAnne Wiganpierpromo (@WiganpierprAnne) reported from Wrightington, England

    @virginmedia I am appalled at the customer service. Trying obtain my last bill from 3 months ago. Can’t be done!!account closed. They never sent packaging to send router back after 3 phone calls I gave up but got charged for it.

  • aish_a_ aisha (@aish_a_) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia u sent me a new router like a month ago and this connection is SLOWER than the router that was over 10 years old I’m basically sat on top of it and I’ve never experienced slower WiFi

  • davetarl Dave Tarleton (@davetarl) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Hi RCG, I say hours, was just short of an hour! All sorted now. My gripe is there should be a cancel/leave option on the website saves ringing up and waiting when you are leaving no matter what.

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

    @virginmedia Internet gone again. Second time today. Bottom light goes white and starts flashing, then green and flashing. Then the arrows light up green and flash. I can’t get 24 hours out of this service. This isn’t what I pay for and it’s terrible service.

  • Kimbow21 Mrs K E (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I’m not bothered now we have left . The guy who answered the phone couldn’t be less interested . Every thing he was saying was on a card . He was very un professional and didn’t understand English fully . So he can’t be bothered to help I can’t be bothered .

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

    @virginmedia And this is why I don’t bother calling you for the most part. The service desk where I work are in trouble if customers are on hold for 20 seconds. Virgin are a huge company and can’t afford a call centre where customers don’t have to wait 15 mins (so far) on hold.

  • baabaa89 Victoria. 🐝 (@baabaa89) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia appalled at the service I’m currently receiving from your customer service rep on the phone. If she calls me “m’am” one more time, I might cry. Her attitude stinks.

  • aish_a_ aisha (@aish_a_) reported from Bolton, England

    Virgin media is so ******* SHIT sick of this life

  • phanleyphotos Paul Hanley Photos (@phanleyphotos) reported from Prescot, England

    Moved from @virginmedia to @SkyUK but phone number hasn’t moved. @virginmedia say it’s possible to still port it and the response from @SkyUK - we don’t know how to do that, hang up and try to speak to someone else after 3 hours on the phone 🤬🤬🤬

  • flux_blair Alex Downes (@flux_blair) reported from Liverpool, England

    Just had a call from @virginmedia asking me what I use my network for, how many devices I have on the network. Please mind your own business, answers to these questions can be used by OCGs to target my home and only call me if you really have to. Thanks

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

    So that’s @virginmedia cancelled off and their poor effort at a service. I had more reliable service with dial-up! Now signed up with @SkyUK and hoping they can at least provide me internet that I can use for a day without it going off constantly.

  • BeStrongBolton Be Strong Daz (@BeStrongBolton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia an absolute shambles broadband service for the last 3 weeks and not scheduled to be fixed until 9th Sept 2019.

  • StephanieScicl3 Stephanie Scicluna (@StephanieScicl3) reported

    @virginmedia I called 31st March and was told they will look into it and call me back on Saturday which they didn’t. Complaint too long to say over Twitter, internet not working, waiting on a new cable to be installed for 3 months

  • StephanieScicl3 Stephanie Scicluna (@StephanieScicl3) reported

    @virginmedia Still no update, 28 days have past. No record of complaint online, still no communication and internet still does not work. Your still taking your monthly direct debit. Shocking customer service

  • WhitingHoward geezer H (@WhitingHoward) reported

    @virginmedia I am having issues with my cable services, particularly NETFLIX and bbc iplayer. This has been on going for 12 months. I loose service about 50 minutes into a programme. I need an engineer because I have tried everything else... 🙁🙁🙁

  • chlooee_xoox chloe ♡ (@chlooee_xoox) reported

    @virginmedia it’s no working in my pals house down the street either?!

  • markpack Mark Pack 🔶 (@markpack) reported

    @virginmedia I've already been sent around the loop with that page several times. Even when my connection is down, it says there isn't a problem. Can you please arrange an engineer visit?

  • jakkimagee B (@jakkimagee) reported

    @virginmedia After 30 mins of going round in circle. Person on the end of the phone finally booked engineer but absolutely ridiculous. Even though I told him what the issue was he wouldn't listen and wanted to to through troubleshooting issues even though I explained the issue.

  • ratomagoson H (@ratomagoson) reported

    @virginmedia Was on the phone to BPO for 42 mins then your team on the number you provided. Put through to the collections team who kindly put the phone down on me. What shall I do now?

  • jazz_hearts_TA jazz bettany (@jazz_hearts_TA) reported

    @virginmedia So far this has been less than helpful. It would help greatly if there was the option to speak to a human through the customer service number as the automated voice just did the same thing I've already done hundreds of times to then just end the call

  • chlooee_xoox chloe ♡ (@chlooee_xoox) reported

    @virginmedia well aye, fix the wifi??

  • claradaniel444 clara (@claradaniel444) reported
