    @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

    @virginmedia any chance of a stable service?!?

    ᒍᗩᑎE (@gemmak500) reported from Chesham Bois, England

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

  • Daymoalexander
    Daymo Alexander (@Daymoalexander) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia @mundaytom Not true. No response to complaint letter sent August and when we’ve rung “manager will call you in 3-5 days”. Been told that 3 times. Not one callback. Shambles.

    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 👍🏼

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

    Didn’t realised upgrading our @virginmedia internet would cripple my home office. Wireless @HP printer can’t find the network and I have to get new boosters for the other rooms in the house. So frustrating - I’ve wasted so much time trying to sort it all out. To no avail.

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

    @virginmedia Yes, I’ve done all these. Very frustrating as I only had a new super hub and cabling to house installed 2 weeks ago. Never had such intermittent service in 20 years of using virgin.

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

    @MikeCoxCowes @virginmedia @HP What hope is there for the smart home when even a wireless printer needs reconfiguring after a simple wi-fi network change?

  • Rebeccadundon1
    Rebecca Dundon (@Rebeccadundon1) reported from St Albans, England

    Hey @virginmedia I've been on hold for 20 minutes and I'm losing the will to live. Need help with WiFi password

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

    @virginmedia Yep, not good enough. What’s the issue? Why does it keep happening and what are you doing about it? And how are you compensating customers?

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Yes, we’ve all reported it and service update says fix by 4pm today. Thanks.

  • thefitebegins
    jrd1982 (@thefitebegins) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia Yet again Virgin Media is down and yes I have tried the checker. Why are services with VM constantly going down across the UK?

  • Johnboy82903002
    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

  • MSiewniak
    Michal Siewniak (@MSiewniak) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

    Dear @virginmedia & @VirginMediaCC A day to forget, wasn’t it? All day problems with my internet connections. Thousands of people affected. In my case, I needed the internet to work and it seems like that the issue was resolved this afternoon. How can I claim compensation?

    @Benleo @virginmedia I moved to community fibre a couple of years ago. Quarter the cost, faster Internet and better customer service.

  • NigelXYYMan
    Nigel XYY man (@NigelXYYMan) reported

    @Benleo It's a long time since I was on virgin media. They had just taken over from ntlworld. It used to annoy me that they could never get TV, broadband and phone working together at the same time.

  • JMRGBY_
    jamie (@JMRGBY_) reported

    @MICHAELEMERS0N @virginmedia It’s pathetic. What could have happened to warrant approximately 8 days before a fix can happen??

  • burgs2010
    Nick Burgin - Horror Writer (@burgs2010) reported

    @Mccartney2Phil @virginmedia Down for 8 days. Started our contract last Wednesday and still haven't been able to watch TV 😡

  • bighandsmassuer
    marc (@bighandsmassuer) reported

    @virginmedia all I wanted was a new contract, after 16 years I thought it would be quite straight forward Oh no, the 3 customer service people I spoke to were useless Great way to run a business

  • tiger20004

    @nufcrichys If you are a Virgin Media customer, all three finals are free on Channel 526; no HBO or TNT subscription is needed.

  • Frantique4
    Frantique- Starmer's dad made a Tool. Vote Reform. (@Frantique4) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Virgin cancelled one of my email addresses (low usage). They won't admit they did. I'd already paid a techie to sort 'my' problem. He also phones them on my behalf because I don't understand their lovely accents when I do it. Still no email & no word from Virgin despite promises.

  • MCCsboy
    Me. Iam...... (@MCCsboy) reported

    @skytv has the WORST customer service possible - I advise everyone against using this service. Choose @virginmedia. Told @skytv agent x3 times to speak to manager - request refused! Rubbish products that do not work! Cancelling the lot!

    @IamCarrieagain @virginmedia .@virginmedia truly shame on you, do you realise how difficult it is for disabled people to be without the internet, unbelievably bad practice, and after the difficult time you also gave to my elderly Mum I’m glad not to be a customer too, if this is the way you provide a service.
