  • tjwmurphy Timothy Murphy (@tjwmurphy) reported from Paddington, England

    @virginmedia No error. It just fails to connect. The Tick actually appears in the Wi-fi settingswhich makes it seem that the @o2 advert will pop up (the final step before connecting) but it never does. I have restarted my phone several times.

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia I have raised many complaints . I just had a reply by email in broken English weeks later. The reply made no sense. Three weeks on the faults continue @ofcom

  • Amerah_Ahmed Dr. Amerah Ahmed (@Amerah_Ahmed) reported from Kensington, England

    Nor matter what the method of engagement may be with a customer. Never forget humanism & humility! You reached the levels of success because of ‘Once upon a time’ those values existed. Note to @virginmedia #MasterMinds #WednesdayThoughts #WednesdayWisdom #CustomerExperience

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia I have raised many complaints. Just received an email in broken English that made no sense . And, weeks on, the faints still continue! @ofcom

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @MAP_PM @virginmedia This is the norm. They never resolve any faults

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @Amerah_Ahmed @virginmedia They are a joke . For the past two weeks constant faults on tv and broadband in sw5. They do nothing . Non existent rude customer service . Time to leave

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @c1boon @emma_charlie_tc @ktstripe @AnneCross1 @virginmedia When I called them they blamed my issues on rats !!! Still without reliable tv and broadband 3 weeks later @ofcom

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @Lashtbytashanna @virginmedia Agree . Same happened to me . A disgrace . Never experience such bad rude customer service in my life

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia @SirJayKing I’ve had no tv or broadband for days in sw5 London . Dire customer service . You might as well talk to the wall

  • Amerah_Ahmed Dr. Amerah Ahmed (@Amerah_Ahmed) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia note...... it is not good customer service to disconnect the call simply because you are unable to answer some legitimate questions relating to your poor service. I made a move to you last month and have to say it is one of the worst decisions that I have made!

  • marcwhufc marc foley ⚒ (@marcwhufc) reported from Barnet, England

    @PaulGrayburn @30Sixteen @Coffers1981 @JayRudd4 @virginmedia I agree virgin broadband is better sky was ******* useless mate we got all sky sports and even bt sports with virgin and cheaper than sky and never had bt sports with sky 👍🏻

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @iheartsnuggles @virginmedia Yes. It’s more often down than not

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @RuthPetrie1 @virginmedia @Ofcom Thanks I don’t hold out much hope . Someone had informed me the issues are to do with them not upgrading the cabinets you see on the pavements outside. The older cabinets cannot Cope with high usage !!! @ofcom

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia If you were sorry you’d fix the problems. They’ve gone on for weeks @ofcom

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia @TomalinHQ Without doubt they’re the worst provider and worst for customer service . They just could not care less

  • Amerah_Ahmed Dr. Amerah Ahmed (@Amerah_Ahmed) reported from Kensington, England

    @edward_baran @virginmedia I am really horrified at their service..... I just can’t believe the way they speak to customers. I spoke to 3 different individuals who were so righteous. I understand you work for a big brand however that does not mean you can have a big ego....you are not @richardbranson

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia My issue is that this happens all the time . It’s about the seventh fault in as many days . The tv and broadband both constantly go down , service is totally unreliable . So even if you ‘fix’ it, it will probably only work for a few hours @ofcom

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @klester1982 @virginmedia Their ‘customer service’ people are a disgrace . Their service even worse . Constant outages of broadband and tv in sw5 @ofcom

  • edward_baran Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @Amerah_Ahmed @virginmedia @richardbranson Absolutely it’s just extraordinary . I pay them 70 quid a month to be Spoken to like dirt by someone who has no knowledge of all the problems and can’t construct a sentence . The most appalling service I have ever experienced . The problems in sw5 have gone on for weeks @ofcom

  • ssb316 Ssb316 (@ssb316) reported from London, England

    What a night for my @virginmedia Broadband AND TV to go down... Missing #LIVARS and #TheApprentice #FirstWorldProblems

  • jasmindilkes Jasmin Dilkes (@jasmindilkes) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve already sent the complaint and just to let you guys know I’ve also just been frauded but a fake account claiming to be virgin media - another thing to add to this list

  • AmandyMaw amandymaw (@AmandyMaw) reported

    @virginmedia My address needs to be changed from ‘non-serviceable’ to ‘serviceable’ in your system, after your Spotter has visited and confirmed that we can have the service. So far today neither your Sales, Care, Pre-Install or Field Support team could change the status. 3hrs lost so far…

  • Spanading Spencer Gibson (dyslexic so expect typos) (@Spanading) reported

    @virginmedia I requested a new sim as I was receiving text about not being able to update the settings on my iPhone. It arrived today and I have swapped for the one in my phone. However despite receiving the network update notification, I still cannot connect to the network. Help

  • GMacklin7 G Macklin (@GMacklin7) reported

    @virginmedia We have had to cancel our contract because you don’t cover the housing estate we are moving to, for that privilege we are being charged £250. You also want the box back so a courier has been arranged to collect it today, the box is still here. How to turn once

  • alphamaleTparty Alpha Male Tea Party (@alphamaleTparty) reported

    @virginmedia John mate, I've spoken to 4 different people about this. I am utterly livid. You won't be able to fix it because your company doesn't want you to. Your contracts are ridiculous and unfair. But sure, why not have a try?

  • Lynneth1000000 Mrs McK #SaveOurNHS #BLM 🌹💙🧚🏻 (@Lynneth1000000) reported

    @We_OwnIt No, I don’t & Virgin are crap. Virgin media - crap (my service didn’t work at least twice a month). Virgin Health - crap (they failed on my daughters ingrown toenails twice due to out of date nail bed substance). I don’t want them anywhere near our NHS, they cut to the bone.

  • rachyp1982 Rachael Birch-Parr (@rachyp1982) reported

    @virginmedia There has been remote diagnostic issues identified with the box following first and second line contact by ourselves, the issue is more the lack of consistency with assistance, and even more ludicrous offers to keep us (double the price of a new customer offer) 🤔

  • alphamaleTparty Alpha Male Tea Party (@alphamaleTparty) reported

    Listen lads, a tip for you, if you ever have the audacity to move house whilst having a contract with @virginmedia broadband, don't bother because they hate you and will help themselves to your bank account.

  • jasmindilkes Jasmin Dilkes (@jasmindilkes) reported

    @virginmedia imagine wanting to get my internet boosted and not knowing that I’ve been dragged into a contract for 18 months instead of my original 12 months - never got sent an email or anything - it’s disgusting because I’ve been on the phone for over an hour but no change

  • DaniKlaw Dani (@DaniKlaw) reported

    @virginmedia It makes no difference, the number is not in use and hasn't been for months, this is the issue, its not used, i have no use for it, it is no more, it is obsolete, it is uncontactable. If one of your reps is available after 6,you have my contact details, thx x
