    @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!

    @virginmedia ...when all she has is TV on an old box and a phone line. She's house bound and this is all she has. The 1st feller attitude was disgusting and said like it or lump it. Clearly doesn't enjoy his job at Virgin Media and customer service is not his game! Awaiting a manger today, ty

    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia There's no point raising a complaint is there, as you won't comprnsate? Other reputable oroviders offer a back-up 4 or 5g device to kick in if their main broadband goes down, to keep the service running. Not VM though - it's just all really poor customer service innit?

    @virginmedia I never expected any engineer, because I'm aware it's an outage that affects a lot of people. But your CS responses could be a lot better.

    @virginmedia advice please! I’ve been a customer for over ten years and am also an o2 customer and my account is now going up by another £12 per month on a pretty basic package! Phoned twice and been told that someone will get back to me with a new price package - still nothing

    @virginmedia Just managed to get hold of someone, and apparently after over 10 years of no problems I now need WiFi boosters at an extra cost to myself all of a sudden, they couldn't tell me why just trying to squeeze more money out of me

  • realjackoh187
    Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia Visit was fine replaced wifi. I was never out of Internet completely like it says only your compensation page, but it was equally as bad since my step daughter had online training to do which couldn't be done at all. My children also were not able to do homework.

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

    @virginmedia No, they just left. Rang your customer service they are now telling me the problem is internal. I’ve had no internet since July, no tv since August. It’s beyond a joke now. 5 visits I’ve had.

    @virginmedia Unless you’re going to assist me in fixing your software updates, I don’t see what you can do. But it’s a big problem not being able to rely on your box to record what I’ve asked it to because your constant software updates keeps wiping them.

    @LutzSchueler @virginmedia We’ve been waiting since January for VM fibre to be installed and the customer service has been shocking. I’ve raised 3 complaints emailed your office and still have not had the service installed. Next stop the communications ombudsman !!

    @virginmedia I’ve now been told SEVEN times that an incorrect final bill charge would be removed, yet it’s still showing and I’m still chasing. Account no. 223578504. Please issue a corrected final bill and confirm no collections/credit impact, or I’ll contact the ombudsman

    @markenello @virginmedia Been through the frustrations too Mark. Almost made my blood boil, cut off several times while on long calls and took ages to manage to leave. Had issues afterwards too. Moved to EE and really happy and a UK call centre with very helpful folk. Fifty pounds a month less too!

    @keithward329 @virginmedia Depends. Auto replies are usually garbage, but the real issue is no human loop. We set up Replymer to catch mentions, then still route the messy ones to a person.
