    @MartinSLewis @bbc5live Had replacement windows from a local company 18 months ago and they were excellent but I will tell you the worst people I have ever dealt with - Virgin Media, even worse than British Gas used to be.

  • seanhannam
    seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia We’ve spoken to eight people to try and resolve our internet issues.We’ve ordered new boosters because the new service isn’t compatible with the old ones.We’re a ‘priority customer’ - the new boosters still haven’t arrived…So frustrating. Your service is appalling.

  • spandya1
    Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Croxley Green, England

    @virginmedia An engineer came today. Issue resolved. If you remember I told you that it was highly probable that work being performed at a cabinet on our street may have resulted in our issue. I also told your telephone support team. That’s exactly what had happened. Appalling service.

    @virginmedialife @virginmedia The worst service from any company I have ever used. I would like to be removed from your business accounts.

    @virginmedia is everything ok with the network today? Router has been flashing red on and off all morning, really intermittent connection however nothing shown on the service checker. Done the usual unplugging of the router, checked cables etc however still flashing red, then…

    @SilentMugger @virginmedia It's been over 24 hours now and I've now been told it will be 10am tomorrow. I'm in North London, not in the wilderness. Its shocking that there's no Internet in the city. Maybe there service is getting worse.

  • StephenCavinder
    Steve Cavinder (@StephenCavinder) reported from Bricket Wood, England

    @virginmedia do you think it’s acceptable for a customer to be waiting for more than 20 minutes (and still waiting) for one of your agents to answer the phone? #justasking

  • PaulswainDJ
    Paul Swain (@PaulswainDJ) reported from Kings Langley, England

    @virginmedia This is boring. I’ll reach out to third parties to resolve my account issue.

    John carroll (@Johnboy82903002) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia Good morning, This is the 3rd day with no broadband. You have conflicting messages as to whether there is an issue or not, and whether it has been fixed or not. I have been unable to speak to anyone or log a call out. Can someone please help

  • Mrspdyer
    Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Customer Service is shocking. It’s now almost 6 hours since I asked on WhatsApp for email address to be corrected and I’m still waiting for a response.

    John carroll (@Johnboy82903002) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Its a fault in the area, I have been given a fix time of 9am on the 19th for the landline and broadband, now my tv has gone down as well

    @virginmedia Yes, it’s showing issues but we are still being treated like this is a new issue with no history. 😩

    @virginmedia @LutzSchueler please help me here i am an O2 monthly paying customer , I’ve had a virgin email address for over 23 years and they just closed it no notice , or warnings and your team hides behind a policy that didn’t exist when i first got my virgin email address

    @virginmedia I think @YodelOnline needs a good kick up the behind for being super late and not even letting the customer know! Not a great start so far #newcustomer

  • NLFG
    Nick Chainey 💙 (@NLFG) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia I've tried both of those. I was going to restart the router and see if that made any difference. Appreciate the help 👍🏼

    Oliver Fatyol (@IstvanOFatyol) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Since w/c 22Aug my wife and I continuously keep checking the service status which gets updated and deadline pushed back. Nobody with virgin has broadband or TV for over 3 weeks now without explanation or a decent update

  • jeannesmith1
    jeanne smith (@jeannesmith1) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia will lose my money as a loyal customer of 20 years standing, by slapping a 120% rise on my next contract due to start in November! Who else has seen such a massive percentage rise?

  • PaulswainDJ
    Paul Swain (@PaulswainDJ) reported from Kings Langley, England

    @virginmedia An ongoing account issue. All I’m trying to do is sort it out. Your staff accepted my call today and then hung up after 17 minutes of hold time.

    @Benleo @virginmedia yes they are not good at customer service .... they only have process for what the business doeballs call the happy path. I had to suffer these morons until I could retire , they were coming through the Grad systems and qualifications were replacing wisdom and experience.

  • crm_uk
    C Morris (@crm_uk) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Yep 💯 percent. Worst is when the Indian call centre says password is wrong because they don't understand and you're having to break up your English for them 🙈

    @virginmedia internet issues for 2 weeks now and still no update, very inconsistent when checking service status too, it goes from intermittent to everything ok every few times I check it?

    Krisstoffer Jukes (@Krisstoffe50821) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I have Starlink and although it is a little dearer, I have confidence in its service. No cables to the receiver only from it to the house. Go for it Ben.

    Alfie (@alfie_beachlife) reported

    @Benleo @ChrisSleven @virginmedia Lured away from EE by Sky on BB + mobile package. The mobile service is next useless and despite upgrading to the highest Sky BB speed available it’s still not as good as EE plus they did the price hike wrapped up in some BS marketing about how wonderful they are. Back to EE asap
