    @richardbranson virgin media U.K. business service is appalling , customer service and tech support are lying, promising callbacks just to get you off the line, 3 weeks no service my business is chaos, my SLA is 12 hours yet no one to talk to fault: F010324227 No one is helping

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

    @virginmedia @dpjohnston10 Complaints procedure is non existent. If you phone, promised call back never happens, webform complaint doesn’t work and hasn’t since at least 28/09. Sent letter 3 wks ago - no response, despite website saying response within 48 hours. Ombudsman here we come.

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

    @virginmedia Finally sent letter on 28 September and on checking my account realised you’ve got wrong email address attached to complaint file. Funnily enough you have correct email address for sending bills. 3/

  • U2Gorilla

    Requested to cancel my contract and told my account doesn’t exist anyway. Thank you Virgin Media.

    @virginmedia Wi-Fi is SO BAD. I’ve check service status online it says it’s fine but I hasn’t been working for 2 hours now. Wtf is you lot doing. It’s been disturbing for weeks now too.

  • paulstevenlewis
    Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Mill Hill East, England

    @virginmedia So you cancel the service months if not years before the 4G replacement is a really extensive alternative, while increasing your prices and telling customers “sorry, but that’s tough”. I understand your team is just at the sharp end dealing with flack, but that’s really bad of VM

  • SMillbery
    Spencer Millbery (@SMillbery) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia Service page says no issues.

  • dip2ooo
    Dipak (@dip2ooo) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @Gusubeda @virginmedia My broadband is also down HA7 0800 status number keep telling me there's no problem in the area

  • U2Gorilla
    Snatch (@U2Gorilla) reported from Southall, England

    Possibly the worst service Iv ever experience by @virginmedia signed up to a new contract on 4/08/22. Installation engineer was due today, no contact from virgin. called call centre on the phone for 56min multiple transfers asked to redo everything including provide bank details

  • JammieBun
    James Brown (@JammieBun) reported from Hillingdon, England

    Hi @virginmedia. I’ve tried phoning you with a complaint, but the calls get shunted into weblink hell. I’ve submitted two complaints through your site which have mysteriously disappeared from my account. And on Twitter the links you send for an online chat only ever lead …

  • 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

  • yessibelloperez
    Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia I’m afraid not. I did ask to speak to a supervisor/manager and they said they would submit this request. My question is: is there actually a fault or is this an ongoing issue? It seems to be the latter, tbh.

  • Griffo2018
    RICHARD GRIFFITHS (@Griffo2018) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia Now I am told they will send me a new hub as they do think I have problems T the house . That’s why VM booked a engineer it was not me who did it . Time will tell if the goal post moves again today

  • IstvanOFatyol
    Oliver Fatyol (@IstvanOFatyol) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia It is incredible, what you're doing is just pushing the date on your service page to one week to another. We don't have Internet for two months now! What are your engineers doing? I am going to cancel your contract and I will go with an better provider. @virginmedia #virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia We have liftoff! Just spoke with a member of your team on the phone. Her name was Francis. She was fantastic! Sorted the problem out and applied a credit to my account. Buy her a drink now 🍷

  • angelstorm13
    Ella A Cutler (@angelstorm13) reported from Welwyn Hatfield, England

    Yet again dispicable lack of customer service from #virginmedia for the 7+ hr outage. Not even one tweet. Your customer service dept needs sacking! How can you run a company like this and charge us so much! @virginmedia #virginmediadown

  • 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.

    @virginmedia your service is diabolical ! We are still experiencing intermittent/reduction in service after being told it would be working properly from 29 July. I assume you will be expecting a reduction in payment from me?

    @2gurlys1kupp @O2 @virginmedia Aye mate it’s horrible. I complained on live chat and got £30 off my bill. Told me it’s now been fixed but it’s still terrible. Virgin WiFi is just as bad.

  • spahcrab
    SPAHCRAB (@spahcrab) reported

    @virginmedia I'm already planning on cancelling my service. This must be a speed run record as I haven't even plugged in the router, nor received the damn thing.

    @virginmedia Hi, we've had a broadband/TV outage most of today & we're told it would be repaired by 22.00 tonight. Now the latest update says it will be 15.45 tomorrow 29th. I work online from home so awkward is an understatement. How is this taking so long? F012401961.
