    THE WORST customer service @virginmedia, should be ashamed of treating loyal customers the way a member of staff has just spoken to my mam

  • ghtrainer Gareth Trainer (@ghtrainer) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for reply. Problem was that no agent ever responded to move requests via the bot. I sat for 1hr on the phone last night and finally got it booked. If the bot had worked 1st time I’d be switched on when I move. Now I’ll be without service for a week. Not good when wfh!

    @virginmedia hi a few folks on our street keep experiencing drop outs of WiFi signal in the middle of the working week, a few of them have made contact with you but no issues are being found, and you don’t seem to be able to help? but there is clearly an issue?

  • JeffsW0rld Jeff’s World (@JeffsW0rld) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Please sort your complaints team out.... I’ve been promised a resolution numerous times over the last few months and still nothing. what a complete embarrassment they are.

  • MarkCarruthers_ Mark Carruthers (@MarkCarruthers_) reported from Wallsend, England

    What an absolute farce @virginmedia are. Pay a ridiculous amount each month for slow broadband that regularly doesn’t work. Now on to a second day with no service and TiVo is also down. Pathetic.

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I have called them twice today still having issues

  • Lucy__Hedley Lucy Hedley (@Lucy__Hedley) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I was told that I would be called back by a manager #lies Now due to further incompetence you have cut off my Internet & phone service. Claiming that I haven't paid a bill when there's a direct debit set up! #diabolical service. I've never been treated so poorly.

  • AnnaForester87 Anna Forester (@AnnaForester87) reported from Washington, England

  • panicdragon8784 Panicdragon8784 (@panicdragon8784) reported from South Shields, England

    @BBCRedButton I don't think your red button service is working on @virginmedia. It's brings up the iPlayer but no live stuff like the springwatch webcams

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

  • LeslieBrown953 Leslie Brown (@LeslieBrown953) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Wish virginmedia could do something about all the scam calls, I am an virginmedia customer and we are receiving. Had about 30 scam calls just this last week.

  • SafcJamieG Jamie (@SafcJamieG) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia They raised a complaint and nothing was done about it, they probably didn’t even listen to the call where I was sold the product, if they did it would have been dealt with

  • DavidField1987 David Field CBCI (@DavidField1987) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I have had a house move booked for 2 weeks (planned for tomorrow) yet once again you have disconnected my services early at my current address. I’m working from home and your error has once again impacted me and now going to spend my morning again trying to fix!

    @virginmedia Generally unreliable broadband….WiFi pods drop out and reboot every hour for around 10 minutes….fed up of call customer services and being on hold for an hour to then get told to turn it off and back on again…..it’s not peppa pig!

  • JohnSpiers5 John Spiers 💙 (@JohnSpiers5) reported

    @virginmedia Only on Sky services on the TV, which I don't subscribe to. Service status says broadband is fine. I've rebooted the router, but if anything, it made it worse

    @virginmedia It depends. Virgin Wayleave has had no issue in sharing that info by email. Virgin Engineers had no issue calling me and texting to deal with this.

  • covrules Jamie Nairn (@covrules) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve rung several times, been waiting 25 mins + each time, get told they’ll ring me back once sorted - never do. Or like last time just cut me off and don’t ring me back. Getting really fed up now!

  • gjohncole G. John Cole (@gjohncole) reported

    @virginmedia Crap signal in SE3 for a week. Virgin Whatsapp help finally told me signal 'unstable' due to recently fixed mast. This was 3 days ago. *When will it stabilize again?* Not good when separated from family in pandemic!
