  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had no service all day as have other people in the street.... not the first time I’ve had to sit on the weekend and miss my team live on tv for which I pay a good deal of money for, I don’t need to check a checker to tell me your service isn’t working

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 .

  • 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 🤬🤬🤬

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia @LadyHorkins Standard response from a truly shit company who tell lies and say an 82 yr old’s husband ordered sky films after he’d been dead for 9 months then deny any wrong doing in their internal enquiry. Then provide what I can only describe as a piss poor service ... don’t buy virgin

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Oh don’t tell me to switch it off and on again.... there is no service wether it’s on the checker or not.. can’t be arsed searching for something I already know ... no virgin, I’m oot

  • 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.

  • 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

    @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.

  • 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.

  • MrCRichardson Craig Richardson (@MrCRichardson) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia help help what do you need to do to get help from virgin media..😡😡😡😡

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • markfrobi Mark Robinson (@markfrobi) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is abysmal. I am fed up of chatting to a robot or someone in india repeatedly asking me the same questions and getting absolutely nowhere. 3 engineer visits, many phonecalls, online chats (some not even answered) and still got nowhere.

  • PiotrekLesiak buLLyQQ (@PiotrekLesiak) reported

    @LaptopGeek92 @virginmedia I have same problem, waiting hours to someone to pickup up the Phone. When someone actually pick it up and hear That i want to cancel my broadband they hang out. The reason why i want to leave is that they send me a 44 pound bill while i ordered IT for 26.99 a month

  • joeasbridge JA (@joeasbridge) reported

    @virginmedia the virgin box which has the connections in on the external of the property was damaged in bad weather and the cables are exposed.

  • PaulaOB36861931 Paula O Brien (@PaulaOB36861931) reported

    @virginmedia This is the junction box at my neighbors. The wire loose is mine . Can not get a signal if not connected. I still don't understand why nobody can speak to me other than on a public Twitter page . I have been charged a fortune

  • efjaebe Fr3ddi3 B3llhous3 (@efjaebe) reported

    @virginmedia I need to cancel my nascent contract with you for incompetence. I am within the statutory cooling off period although I have at least 4 other means of cancelling in any event. But you won't answer the phone to allow me to do so. What now?

  • fmanresa Fernando Manresa (@fmanresa) reported

    @virginmedia It’s my first time trying the service as i wasnt aware it was one of the perks for being a vm customer

  • mciver_martin Martin (@mciver_martin) reported

    The worst customer care from @virginmedia on the phone for an hour to try and discuss changing our bill. Speaking with someone who can barely understand Me or Me them. After the hour they either hung up or lost connection. Either way nothing was resolved. Awful.

  • gorfmanrob Rob Large (@gorfmanrob) reported

    @virginmedia Tried that. Told to ring. Rang. Got nowhere. 3rd day and still no WiFi pod!! Useless service, no help at all. Told to ring Yodel, can't as I don't have a reference number.

  • rhcarter Rob Carter (@rhcarter) reported

    Spent more than 2.5 hours on the phone over the past couple days to @virginmedia. I've had my new contract issued twice incorrectly. How do I get this sorted? I've logged a formal complaint but have not heard anything.

  • pilesofpapers Suzyb (@pilesofpapers) reported

    @virginmedia Obviously or it wouldn’t ever work - this is an intermittent issue
