  • gilliblogs Gill Lysons (@gilliblogs) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @yicker @virginmedia Had the same thing when my Gran was poorly, trying to explain to HMRC why they couldn’t visit her for an assessment - eventually I had to say “look, she’s dying” Bloody awful . Hope you’re ok xxx

  • mrmrjarrold Matthew Jarrold (@mrmrjarrold) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia The main thing here is that not one person who I have come into contact with in your organisation wants to take ownership of the problem and try and resolve it which is the essence of customer service. It’s a massive fail.

  • Kiefer1667 Marc Lancaster (@Kiefer1667) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia how can we find out when you are transferring our mobile numbers to the vodafone network instead of ee?

  • maffew85 Matt Duncan (@maffew85) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia App, website and number all day issue is resolved. But still no WiFi. Turned router off & on again. Nothing

  • KStaff1878 KStaff (@KStaff1878) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginhelp @lisa_sandland @virginmedia It's not Lisa's fault, it's YOURS!!! The whole of a city is down

  • lucylou582 Lucy (@lucylou582) reported from Chester, England

    @virginmedia so you booked an engineer to come and fix the cable, yet the engineer has just arrived and can only look at the job! What an absolute ridiculous way of working. I told you on the phone that wire had been broke, why send someone who can’t complete the job!

  • lucylou582 Lucy (@lucylou582) reported from Chester, England

    @virginmedia He’s reported it, and told his manager. Why on earth would you not send someone to fix it

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia This takes me through to a help and support page - what do I do next?

  • rmcc01 Rick McCann. Esq (@rmcc01) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Of course I have, says issue found, but I want to know how long before its back on

  • Joanneincrosby Joanne Johnson (@Joanneincrosby) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia tried to contact Virgin media for days! We had no internet for last Saturday, Sunday , Tuesday in the area . You call and it will not let you contact to anyone as it’s a complex problem in the area. Anyone know a better provider I’ve totally had enough.

  • BenjiMaccers Benji McLoughlin (@BenjiMaccers) reported from Haydock, England

    @JolyonMaugham @virginmedia @SP_EnergyPeople ongoing complaint since March. They are actually extorting me.

  • maffew85 Matt Duncan (@maffew85) reported from Warrington, England

    Why do I even pay you so much money each month @virginmedia when your internet has gone down twice in two days. Shocking!!

  • LukeFoster89 Lukefoster89 (@LukeFoster89) reported from Sandymoor, England

    @virginmedia Hi, what's the best way to make a complaint? I've never experienced such incompetence from a call centre in my life. Please can some one review my calls over the last few weeks.

  • KStaff1878 KStaff (@KStaff1878) reported from Liverpool, England

    @KindredUK @virginmedia The entire city it down it seems.

  • MattyHankinson Matt Hankinson (@MattyHankinson) reported from St Helens, England

    @cathd100 @virginmedia I’m having the same issue! Annoying!!!!!

  • maffew85 Matt Duncan (@maffew85) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Down for both. Yesterday for about 2.5 hours. Today it went down for 30 minutes and again go down, so far, 15 minutes and counting. App/Website says estimated fix 3pm.

  • Clare___bear Clare Bagan (@Clare___bear) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia just spoke to a lovely guy on the phone. However, I don’t understand how you can justify charging £40 + for a deal that is £32 online for a new customer. I’ve been with you 20 + years, nothing needs doing to the account. It’s already set up. No point being loyal?

  • LydSmiz Lydia Smith (@LydSmiz) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia It’s been over a month since I sent an online complaint form (as advised by this account) and have heard nothing back since and it has been 4 months since the original issue (not to mention the 13 calls to customer service). When can I expect to hear back on my complaint?

  • AlanStephens8 Alan Stephens (@AlanStephens8) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to cancel my internet and whoever is helping us hasn’t been doing a good job. Can you help please

  • juegee julie greenwood (@juegee) reported

    @virginmedia getting a terrible service from Virgin Media. Keep rearranging appointments to fit a face place ready for my installation in a few weeks. Haven’t informed meof the rearrangements until I chase up where the technician is. Time off work for nothing but stress

  • DeeJayLen Mark Leonard (@DeeJayLen) reported

    @virginmedia V6 box says network cable disconnected. Tested all connections, no joy. Switched box with another that is working and bingo, it worked on the same cable. Reinstalled original V6 and that worked too. Problem solved.

  • YogiBunni Rothna Begum (@YogiBunni) reported

    @virginmedia 2/2 No doubt, once I'm no longer a new customer for them, they'll treat me the the same!! None of you appreciate customer locality or know the value of customer retention! So all down to us consumers moving from one provider to another

  • stephieceeee Stephanie Carter (@stephieceeee) reported

    @virginmedia @Lannie_Cee Hi John, sorry for jumping on this post. I have been transferred to Customer Relstions and patched on WhatsApp, was told it was open until 9pm. Is there anyway you can find out what's going on?! Been on there since 3pm and not getting anywhere fast.
