    @virginmedia hi a few folks on our street keep experiencing drop outs of WiFi signal in the middle of the working week, a few of them have made contact with you but no issues are being found, and you don’t seem to be able to help? but there is clearly an issue?

    @virginmedia it’s simply Disgraceful! As @gmail email user I CAN NOT logging into my own account to check my bill- is it even legal?? After 1 hour of ohone convo with @virginmedia agent my problem is not solved and I’m back in the loop 🔁

  • SafcJamieG
    Jamie (@SafcJamieG) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia They raised a complaint and nothing was done about it, they probably didn’t even listen to the call where I was sold the product, if they did it would have been dealt with

    @virginmedia would like to thank you for your customer service. Over 15 years of money from me. 50% price rise. I would like to leave please. No problem. All booked for you. Good bye. Wish I could afford to treat my customers like that.

  • Lucy__Hedley
    Lucy Hedley (@Lucy__Hedley) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I was told that I would be called back by a manager #lies Now due to further incompetence you have cut off my Internet & phone service. Claiming that I haven't paid a bill when there's a direct debit set up! #diabolical service. I've never been treated so poorly.

    IanBurns (@ll370) reported

    @The_Looney_Toon @virginmedia Sadly I had similar problems last year, the pandemic remote working doesn’t work very well and I tried over 100 times (no joke) to get thru to cancel, eventually sorted and with BT now but it’s not that much better if I’m honest. Good luck getting sorted 👍

  • Sammygeo

    @virginmedia Constant intermittent internet. I’ve tried to call to be told you’re busy and call back later? How am I meant to fix this as it seems to be a nationwide issue

  • joshshepherd88

    @virginmedia @nicocary is the customer not me

  • 2goodwheels
    Tony Gillam (@2goodwheels) reported

    @KeithHuewen I did not realise that @virginmedia had a Customer Service Team do I need Track and Trace to locate them?? It's probably one man in a back street in some foreign land who uses a public phone box as his exchange. Consistently diabolical!

  • DayleBarron
    Dayle (@DayleBarron) reported

    @The_Looney_Toon @virginmedia Won’t do a room install for me due to COVID but they’re happy to do full installations still.. weird company, absolutely garbage now can’t wait to move back to Sky

    @virginmedia No help what so ever

  • BryanFoss
    Bryan Foss (@BryanFoss) reported

    @virginmedia Finally spoke to VM Critical care mgr Michelle, who understood we simply needed service continuity, not a new contract, discount or anything else your internal processes require. Solved in 5 mins, many other staff now being retrained for use of empathy vs VM scripts perhaps?
