  • allymcgeorge
    Alvin TX Fernandez (@allymcgeorge) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia hi I need to cancel an engineer appointment but clearly you've made this difficult to do. Any thoughts?

  • PaulCraig24
    Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it

  • hylt64
    Hilly Marshall (@hylt64) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia The issue is I’m trying to cancel my services but I see how you keep customers as nobody will answer the phone to do this hence the reason nobody can leave I’ve now been on hold 1hr 14mins which is totally unacceptable

  • maxinetennet74
    Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported from Walker Gate, England

    What will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.

    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia If there is any tools that you can suggest I use to solve my issue it will be greatly appreciated, I don’t mean to mean in your position but I just would like to know exactly what you can do SHAW at the end of the day I’m assuming you’re going to tell me to go to technical help

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

  • NETheatreGuide
    NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Time for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

  • geemiller71

    @virginmedia Horrific customer service

    @virginmedia seems your Cs WhatsApp is broken, can anyone one reactivate my WiFi pod?

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I know my line is spoofed, when an incoming call from a foreign country is giving out I’m not wrong number as I’m being spoofed I am technically aware of this I used to provide support for a very large telecommunications company

  • PaulCraig24
    Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia my Mam has been trying to sort her mobile out today. As she can’t remember her password or security answer, she has been unable to access her account to cancel it. Can you let me know what she can do?

  • gazza_d
    Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.

  • ZicoPete
    Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia what channels do I need to go down for a stable connection check in my area, two days in a row internet keeps dropping not ideal when working from home. Thanks.

    @virginmedia Been trying all day to get through to someone and now your chatbot has gone down.

  • Donaldman34
    Alex Bellew (@Donaldman34) reported

    @virginmedia I am trying to cancel my contract, and every time your chatbot says it is going to connect me to an actual human, the chat disconnects and starts again. This is moderately infuriating to say the least. Can you fix this

  • cycleprawn
    SFB-Mod (@cycleprawn) reported

    @1030pa @obbsie @virginmedia Pointless. They don’t give a ****

  • Peter_ldn_ire
    a (@Peter_ldn_ire) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been on phone trying to speak to someone for over an hour waiting / web chat is not not working - what is going on

  • Manc_Gurl
    MancLass (@Manc_Gurl) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve spent the best part of my afternoon trying to cancel my expensive out of contract broadband. Chat just exits without on app and PC and I’ve been on hold for 40 mins on phone no one answers. Do I just cancel the £93 a month DD because that is ridiculous

  • JustAnAlienOk
    RogerSmithUpInThisBitch (@JustAnAlienOk) reported

    @virginmedia Estimated fix time 13th May is ridiculous. What’s the point of spending that much money if it always stops working every month?

  • piggywiggiewoo
    Frankie Mary (@piggywiggiewoo) reported

    @virginmedia my elderly mum was put on hold on the phone for nearly two hours waiting to speak to an agent and has given up. You are massively overcharging her and she needs to talk to you about her bill. Why aren't you answering the phone? I'm shocked by such poor service

  • 6HLJ_
    Josh (@6HLJ_) reported

    Hi @virginmedia my internets back down again today. Any chance of flicking switch for a couple of hours? Ta Josh xoxoxo

  • peter_mcclurg
    Peter mcclurg (@peter_mcclurg) reported

    @virginmedia Can you sort the Intermittent connections in ML5 North Lanarkshire of Scotland area please. Utter garbage customer service. Two hours and still no call answered. 28 years a customer and definitely no more when renewal is due.

  • DrPJSullivan
    Dr. Paul J. Sullivan (@DrPJSullivan) reported

    @_HadleyGamble @virginmedia A common "customer service" complaint across many companies. Poor service is expected these days.
