    @virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too

    @virginmedia No help needed, thanks - just praising the deal I was given last night 🙌

    @virginmedia @virginmedia still no reply. Have asked 3 times how 2 claim back for our additional browsing fees incurred due 2 #VirginMedia’s incompetence & are ghosted by your ‘customer resolve agent’. great when we spoke to her, was clearly pacifying.Happy to name her & share her email here?

    @virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error. No other channel issues or broadband, done all the standard resets, unplugged at mains etc. Do I need to call to have this resolved? TV guide just says 'to be announced' Everything else is fine.

    @virginmedia sorry for the late reply I smashed my phone I phoned customer service and I'm still waiting for someone to phone me iv had NO TV for about 15 days now

    @virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

  • didixon74
    LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England

    @virginmedia please can some one contact me about my unresolved complaint. Genuinely worst service I have aver received, want to cancel my contract as I have lost all confidence in your service. Over 4 hours on the phone in the last week and still no further forward. Thanks

    @virginmedia Can I win a TV service that works (Thursday 2nd Dec it's been off since) , or internet with no huge drop outs please? Or a link that works to fix anything. #AllIWantForChristmasistheserviceipayfor

    @virginmedia checked your outage tracker and says all services good on the area. Been without internet for nearly an hour. What is going on?

  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    1 whole week without any @virginmedia, months of signal issues. Engineer has gone out of his way but having to continually wait. Hopefully the engineer booked for tomorrow turns up and replaces my now faulty equipment.

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    Ye gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.

  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Why can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.

  • P25_Fletch
    Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?

  • vitosauras
    🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    You lot need to sort yourselves out, Internet going down around midnight for the past few days yet you charge the earth @virginmedia

  • tenchylad
    Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

  • clairekitty12

  • TrevorRidley
    Trid (@TrevorRidley) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @Designer_Ross @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia Yeah that’s the issue I’ve come across . Slow download speeds but always reported at just above the payment threshold. It’s got worse recently

  • Rusty_Barnacle
    Dave #oafc (@Rusty_Barnacle) reported

    @virginmedia have to say I've really enjoyed spending over 15 hours on the phone and 10 of those on hold this week trying to sort my contract out because your salesperson didn't sort it properly. I've been trying to cancel for 2 hours this morning and been left on hold again

  • E7Drew
    Andrew Jarman 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏳️‍🌈77th(London)Bde (@E7Drew) reported

    @virginmedia I'm a VirginMedia customer with a subscription to the Sky Movies & Sports package. I was using the On Demand option to watch the Downton Abbey The Grand Finale movie. It was then I discovered that the subtitles are not synchronised with the soundtrack.

    @virginmedia @Dominiho7 What happens to customers who are unable to visit a Yodel location that is 30 minutes away by car - a disabled customer for example.

  • fellowska
    Adam Kieran Fellows (@fellowska) reported

    @virginmedia and just as I bloody expected, phone gets put down. Absolutely a ******* joke. Been waiting for you to get back to me since Thursday on WhatsApp, your bot can’t put me through to an agent either. Disgraceful customer service

  • obbsie
    Chris Hobbs (@obbsie) reported

    @AEthelswin @virginmedia Ah. Thanks. Trying to speak to customer service. Been three hours now.

  • rolandhesz
    Roland Hesz 🎸⛩️🏳️‍🌈 (@rolandhesz) reported

    Hey @virginmedia, is it correct that I am not allowed to read the contract before I sign up but I still have to tick the "I have read it..." checkbox to sign up? That's what your customer service agent is telling me now. I thought it was a broken link but I'm told otherwise.

  • JustAnAlienOk
    RogerSmithUpInThisBitch (@JustAnAlienOk) reported

    @virginmedia WiFi has been slow for the past few days. The app is constantly showing that there is an issue with Virgin in my area. Today it isn’t working at all. How long does it take to sort out? The weekend is coming up and no wifi 🙄

  • littledonna7
    BT Monty🌈 OTRB (@littledonna7) reported

    3 hours on hold to @virginmedia today - shocking service for your customers. Have given up. Completely unacceptable.
