    20 minutes and still on hold to @virginmedia customer service is a JOKE. 3 days without internet now 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

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

    So @virginmedia harassing me again about a router i returned a year ago saying it’s not been sent to them. I’m not to blame for their rubbish inventory system. I’ve left @virginmedia to get away from their ineptitude but it never ends. Will be putting it an official complaint.

  • Hartley86 Tim Hartley (@Hartley86) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia absolute terrible customer service on the phone over an hour and got nowhere !! Fuming 😤

  • NicolaAinsy279 Nicola Connor (@NicolaAinsy279) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I am no longer a customer and I have paid the account in full. It was paid in August 2018 and my credit file is showing that I’m behind on my payments and have been since April 2018 as it hasn’t been updated for 18 months! 4 times I’ve been told my complaint would be dealt with.

  • Lucy8720 Lucy87 (@Lucy8720) reported from Chester, England

    @virginmedia your trains are a joke! Whatis the point of reserving 4 seats as a family and having confirmation of my seat numbers, then when getting on the train it says unreserved and i have rude people refusing to move out of seats so i cannot sit with my family!! Terrible

  • Lyntrick L҉y҉n҉n҉ K҉i҉l҉p҉a҉t҉r҉i҉c҉k҉ (@Lyntrick) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia I will call shortly. I just feel that you are pricing people out of their broadband. I am on a low income and can only just manage the cost of it at the moment. I just don't understand why the router I have is not boosting the signal

  • paulhallett6 paul hallett (@paulhallett6) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia My wifi keeps going down av phoned few times...thay just don't seem to care put the phone down on a number of occasions....

  • alan_seeley Alan Seeley (@alan_seeley) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia It’s is my TV service the main TV box is unwatchable due to Pixelating

  • jen1562 Jennifer Donnelly (@jen1562) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Thank you, I’ve tried that. It then directed me to status check page. No issues noted in the area as yet. This was the same as yesterday

  • michdavey71 Michelle (@michdavey71) reported from Maghull, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to some American woman the other night who was quite rude and did not resolve the problem , tried to get through tonight again as my daughters phone has a fault still failed to speak to anyone .

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

    @virginmedia I don’t want anything to do with you, I’m fed up talking to you about this. I called up a couple of weeks ago and spoke to a lady who told me there’s nothing to worry about, the system is updated and I won’t be charged. Yet I’ve just received a text. Beyond poor customer service.

  • cfraz172 claire fraz (@cfraz172) reported from Rainhill, England

    @virginmedia got a problem with the TiVo box it’s the second box - tried to reset two days ago and delete everything has been on the screen since then - any suggestions as this has been nothing but trouble and for £122 per month is a joke

  • neil_pandb Neil Ashurst (@neil_pandb) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Had four meetings and cheese and tomato pasta for my dinner, but I guess that's not what you meant 🙄 Once again been in a queue for over 20 minutes with no one answering. Guess I'll just have to raise a complaint and go that way 😠

  • NicolaAinsy279 Nicola Connor (@NicolaAinsy279) reported from Liverpool, England

    4th time complaining to @virginmedia and still NO reply and not dealt with at all. 3 complaint forms submitted and 1 letter. Now with the @financialombuds but going to take a while because of large volumes of complaints 😕🙄 just want my credit file updating! 😡

  • ValAlker val alker (@ValAlker) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I just want a landline and broadband package without the TV - and maybe just Broadband - I want to see your prices and options - and decide - but it seems as an existing customer you don’t want to talk to me about options -

  • nathanrigby__96 Nath (@nathanrigby__96) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia There is no faults in the area and we have spoke you us on the phone and there is no problem apart from the shit service

    @virginmedia No I've tried that and it's not working

  • SaffsAI Bam Bam (@SaffsAI) reported from Bradford, England

    Why companies like @virginmedia use WhatsApp support I do not know. The system makes you wait an hour, if you don't respond in 10 minutes, it kicks you off the chat just to make you wait again

  • emmalouise78 EmmaLouise (@emmalouise78) reported

    I am so angry right now with how I am being treated by @virginmedia that I have made a complaint. Guess what my reference number is!!! Nothing, the space for this was blank. You can't even let me people make complaints without messing me about. This is an absolute joke.

  • Jo3Day Joe Day (@Jo3Day) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t believe I’ve been out of OX11 postcode since issues started however I don’t believe others have had issues, making me believe it’s possibly a problem with my phone itself?

  • marklewins Mark Lewins (@marklewins) reported

    @virginmedia Hello. Having followed the instructions to switch to Wifi Max, there are 2 issues; 1. The VM Connect App cannot be installed on any phone in my house. All running Android 12. So that test cannot be done. 2. We have powerline boosters (free) from VM. Can we swap...

  • _Clean_Nuclear Nuclear (@_Clean_Nuclear) reported

    @virginmedia My only options are CICAS or OFCOM. There is no central point to have issues resolved. None of your staff seems to have the ability to coordinate a resolution without passing me from call centre to call centre. I'm embarrassed to have ever recommended you.

  • alisonmbrady72 Alison (@alisonmbrady72) reported

    @virginmedia what is the best number to call to cancel services. I've rang 150 and been passed to 3 different departments and then cut off!

  • AbbeyBhatty abbeybhatty (@AbbeyBhatty) reported

    @richardbranson @vmbusiness am going to start legal action against VMB if they don't stop sending us bills for an account that was shut down as they haven't set up a COR and DD for the new company.

  • Jo3Day Joe Day (@Jo3Day) reported

    @virginmedia experiencing issues with my iPhones 4g, not sure whether it’s my phone or issues with the network?

  • _Clean_Nuclear Nuclear (@_Clean_Nuclear) reported

    @virginmedia And even here your "cut n paste" help continues
