    @virginmedia My service hasn’t been down for days, it’s concerning that you don’t know that and so hardly surprising you can’t say when it’ll be back!

  • davetarl
    Dave Tarleton (@davetarl) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Hi RCG, I say hours, was just short of an hour! All sorted now. My gripe is there should be a cancel/leave option on the website saves ringing up and waiting when you are leaving no matter what.

  • WiganpierprAnne

    @virginmedia I am appalled at the customer service. Trying obtain my last bill from 3 months ago. Can’t be done!!account closed. They never sent packaging to send router back after 3 phone calls I gave up but got charged for it.

    Just been holding on the phone for over 30 minutes to speak to a "human being" from Virgin Media" I lost the will to live and hung up. Will call tomorrow to tell them I will be leaving sick of their poor service.

    Been on hold @virginmedia for 25 mins- now on 3rd call and nearly 2 hours. Shocking customer service. Making my decision to leave that much easier.

  • DagsJT
    Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I’m on Facebook Messenger and three times I appear to have been passed around to another agent, three time’s being asked to provide my name and info. Then get told someone will be with me. This is really poor customer service. Come back @virginmedia, all is forgiven.

  • awesome_walls
    Steve Wall (@awesome_walls) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia you may have faster network speeds but if you don’t improve your router network range I’m going back to @BTCare at the end of my contract!

  • JamesRead78
    James Read (@JamesRead78) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia need to chat with someone about lowering my bill £100 per month is getting ridiculous! Tried using the chat function on the app but it's not working

    Jane Boland (@JE_Boland) reported from Seaforth, England

    I have been on the phone with @virginmedia for nearly two hours and am no closer to getting my problem solved.

    @virginmedia This is the 6th “complex” issue that’s happened during weekends this year! and countless other days ..... and that’s why I called yesterday to cancel, your service is obviously not fit for purpose and you have the cheek to put the price up too

  • mickryanphoto
    Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia @LadyHorkins Standard response from a truly shit company who tell lies and say an 82 yr old’s husband ordered sky films after he’d been dead for 9 months then deny any wrong doing in their internal enquiry. Then provide what I can only describe as a piss poor service ... don’t buy virgin

  • phanleyphotos
    Paul Hanley Photos (@phanleyphotos) reported from Prescot, England

    Moved from @virginmedia to @SkyUK but phone number hasn’t moved. @virginmedia say it’s possible to still port it and the response from @SkyUK - we don’t know how to do that, hang up and try to speak to someone else after 3 hours on the phone 🤬🤬🤬

    @virginmedia They are saying that I’ve contacted customer services and I’ve been in contact recently about my package (true) and they can offer me a good deal

  • BlackwellTeeVee
    BlackwellTV (@BlackwellTeeVee) reported

    @virginmedia Sure thing! I'm using the Hub 3 and I'm on the M200 plan. I would like to be able to extend the signal out to the front of my home, but I'm not sure how to do this. I can't relocate the router elsewhere in the house due to my work.

  • NattoBri
    Natalie (@NattoBri) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you , we have it now and we are subscribed and should be having someone call on 23rd to check! It’s an outage in our postcode only , should only be intermittent outage but we unfortunately do not have any internet at all

  • dXbriscoe
    David Briscoe (@dXbriscoe) reported

    @virginmedia But you got the first one. Which you replied to. What about that? Honestly. This is exactly what I mean. How poor can a company be? How do you propose It’s fixed?

  • NotADiver
    Not A Diver (@NotADiver) reported

    @virginmedia I want the technician to come back out and remove the services, repair the hole in the wall and paint it. This is totally unacceptable and utterly poor workmanship. You should be ashamed.

  • ThatLadDylan

    @Ayresie_ @virginmedia I had this problem as well, until we moved to BT it's been so much better.

  • Scatzy81
    Louise Mitchell (@Scatzy81) reported

    @virginmedia I got though on Wednesday after a long wait. Advised a manager would call back within two hours- no one called. I got through Thursday after a long wait, logged a complaint and was told I'd be contacted by a Manager- I'm still waiting. This fault had been since NOVEMBER!!!
