    @virginmedia No it’s not, and it has now transpired that your customer services agent told me a direct lie that there was a fault in my area when there is not. Someone else has now booked an engineer to come out - next Wednesday. I can’t even have my heating on as that’s controlled vía wifi

    @virginmedia So why hang up? What was the purpose of the call?

    @virginmedia As I say. I don't like publicly shaming a company that was once good. But your customer service is an absolute disgrace

  • SurrealPaulT
    Paul Terry (@SurrealPaulT) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia hi Virgin. We had an outage of broadband and TV services beginning 23rd Sept which lasted for 4 days. At the time we were told we would be compensated for this loss. As it hasn't come off our latest bill, how do we claim?

  • izzwoz
    Warrenesco Jacksonovakov (@izzwoz) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia Seems your business model is never answer when someone wants to leave. 8 hours on WhatsApp yesterday totally ignored by Retentions. Queuing on phone again 30min probably get cut again after 1 hour.

    @virginmedia customer service is so ****. They just transfer you round to different departments

    @virginmedia any idea when the outage will be sorted? I have work to do today

  • blokealex
    alex. (@blokealex) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Complaint is about billing after cancellation, your staff refusing to process my request to cancel and being told a different thing every time I call back… it’s been awful.

  • SiManM20
    Simon Manning 🇪🇺 - SiManM20@mstdn.uk (@SiManM20) reported from Manchester, England

    @nrgloz @virginmedia Your paying 75% of what we are for 35% of the d/speed there. Neighbour has just switched to Brsk - it’s full #fttp so 1Gb both up/down rather than the 52Mb UL Virgin offer via DOCSIS. £40pm

  • Lerounxi
    Reece Jordan Doonan, RN (@Lerounxi) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia can you confirm if there’s active engineer trying to rectify the service outage Manchester (M30). Widespread issues reported according to your service outage on website ?

  • Miniboom2

    Ah @virginmedia with this up and down service today you are really spoiling us!

  • RHJOfficial

    I don't WTF your customer service team are doing, from transferring me to the moving team, then being transferred to cancellation, then put on hold twice, now it looks like I'm being transferred back to the moving team. @virginmedia - shambolic!

    @virginmedia No point, there is a problem but it shows there aren't any issues in the area.

    Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia I also don’t need to monitor the quality of my broadband, I already know it’s awful. I don’t understand how that would help.

  • HelenMHurley
    Helen Hurley (@HelenMHurley) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia great customer service from your engineer Pete this morning. Polite, knew his stuff and a credit to your company. 10 out of 10. Would recommend yourselves.

    @MartinSLewis I'm not sure if you can help me but here goes , in August I ended my contract with @virginmedia & to cut a long story short they still owe me £87 .+ They sent me a cheque in my maiden name so I returned it with a second copy of my marriage cert same as in 2015 1.

  • essers
    Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedialife @VMSolutions_ I just want reconnecting, and I want someone to recognise that we should not have been disconnected, and treat this with some urgency. Or even acknowledge that it needs resolving, and that you have some concern for my situation and the stress it is causing.

    @virginmedia are you down again in M20? Hub flashing red again.

    @Shredda @virginmedia Oh damn, that's peak. Might just be a coincidence then 🤔

    Horatio Bullwinkle (@harryvek) reported

    @virginmedia Why do your customer services call me every day when I've told them I'm not interested in taking any more services than I already have. Just today I took a call and told them to stop calling me, no one answered on the other side and then just hung up, how rude !!!.

  • lou_xen

    @Jaym7t5 @virginmedia It’s been down for about 2 hours for us.. just got back working now

  • chrislove_89
    Chris Love (@chrislove_89) reported

    @virginmedia 4x since I’ve moved across from BT, the service has been completely down in my area, this in space of just a few months. This has affected exam revision, kids bedtime routines, among other things. Terrible, pathetic service and can’t wait until my contract expires!

  • pwatsonmontrose
    Patrick Watson (@pwatsonmontrose) reported

    @virginmedia I am a customer. Please stop sending me messages on Twitter to other customers of yours .. {mainly to customers wanting to leave Virgin!)

    @virginmedia @KatReynolds5 hi any problems in the dublin area? internet went down at some point in the last hour.

    @virginmedia You really need to up your game virtual chat about as much use as a chocolate ashtray. You promise something in the Contract and not deliver it. No am not the account holder but money comes from my account. Get your act in order because at the moment it is crap

  • aspoone2
    Adam Spooner (@aspoone2) reported

    @virginmedia what an awful service New customer and already regretting it Along pops engineer 1 on 22nd to install the service Oh can't do that mate, we need to call out the street team, they will be there Wednesday

  • BarryStevens75
    Barry Stevens (@BarryStevens75) reported

    @timlimbim @virginmedia Don’t do it , I did it in February they promote you can take your contract with you but they cancel the one at your current address and issue a new one to the new property . Only issue is your promotional discount doesn’t renew on the new contract.

  • Canna420Uk
    Wisp1a☄️ (@Canna420Uk) reported

    Ad it with @virginmedia £260 a month predators Been with the for 20 years (NTL years) and they thank you by robbing you.. Cancel your virgin because better exists.

    @0xsachi I think "moat" is just a polite way of saying monopoly. First mover advantage builds a brand and customer stickiness, and I think this should be the goal, personally. But all these anti-competitive practices like making cancelling services ridiculously hard (hello @virginmedia ) or walling the garden once you get enough users (hello @facebook Open Graph) should be cracked down on, in my opinion.
