    Dear @virginmedia I don’t want an automated response, I want a solution. I have had intermittent internet access for 4 WEEKS and have had ENOUGH. I want to speak to a human being, can I have a number to complain to please #crapservice

    Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia OK I am getting mad 🤬🤬🤬 This has been my problem I CANNOT GET THROUGH TO A HUMAN BEING. Everything is automated. When I try to call it goes round the houses and then the call drops. #lostacustomer #igiveup

    Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Estimated fix time, it’s been going on for 4+ weeks and yes that is the number I am calling. It reset everything and did tests and currently running HOWEVER the next drop will be 5pmish as per the norm. It last went off at 14:53. I need a human being & cant speak to one

  • shaunbentley
    Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Take this morning for example. You could have checked on previous interactions. But because you couldn’t be bothered, I’ve had to explain again. So. Take that as another example of how poor both your customer service team are and you, individually..

  • jameze1992
    James Marshall (@jameze1992) reported from Oldham, England

    Good grief.. First experience with @virginmedia was like pulling teeth. They'll need to sort their customer service out FAST before other providers catch up with speed 😂😂

  • ImLauraa
    Laura Donnellan (@ImLauraa) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Well we don’t have a tracking number and we haven’t heard anything back since we returned the faulty phone. We also tried the text messaging service but also takes ages to get a reply.

  • lorraineayrton
    Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I have tried EVERYTHING to speak to a human however the automated rubbish doesn’t let me get there. It just tells me there is a problem that you are trying to fix. Clearly I am aware there is a problem and has been for sometime I have done all usual diagnostics my end

  • simon_bell86
    Simon Bell (@simon_bell86) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi, done a few tests and reset router etc and it’s still the same. Speed drops on Ethernet and wireless. It’s very intermittent though. It can be fine for a couple of hours and then have a few minutes of really slow speeds.

  • LeanintoDesign
    John Grimshaw (@LeanintoDesign) reported from Oldham, England

    @RischDesigns @fittdr @virginmedia @Plusnet @NOWTV @emmerdale @LoveIsland @ASBO_Allstar I'm on 350 which is great but the router let's it down, the old superhub2 had much better firmware and an easier UI.

  • LeanintoDesign
    John Grimshaw (@LeanintoDesign) reported from Oldham, England

    @fittdr @virginmedia I'm hearing good things about @Plusnet on the customer service side, but it's the TiVo I'd miss, we are seriously considering @NOWTV broadband and TV as we already use them for sky movies but need to investigate if we (the wife) can watch @emmerdale and @LoveIsland 🤣🤣

  • sazzlepants76
    Sarah Owens (@sazzlepants76) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia 5 sets of staff been to my property now (my broadband install date is today). 30 mins waiting on the phone and still no resolution. Now my pavements being dug up! I’ve lost faith already 🙈

  • lorraineayrton
    Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @blackheartorch @virginmedia 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 is all I have to say right now. Just want to talk to a human and not deal with an automated service x

  • LeanintoDesign
    John Grimshaw (@LeanintoDesign) reported from Oldham, England

    @RischDesigns @fittdr @virginmedia @Plusnet @NOWTV @emmerdale @LoveIsland Thanks for the advice both you and @ASBO_Allstar have said a similar thing so I guess it's a negotiation down in price with a new router to fix @virginmedia crap hardware.

    @virginmedia For days now I have been trying to sign in to my account to no avail, so let me say if you have not sorted this problem soon then I will NOT be paying you, I will NOT be contacting you and I will NOT be answering any calls from you. I'm sick and tired of this SHIT.

    Ajay Parekh (@ajayparekh68) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia absolutely appalling service, 39min and counting trying to close an account I haven’t used for three months, on hold for 11min now.

    mike lynch (@mikelynch7) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia It was my partner who tried calling. She eventually got through but received no help at all. We’ve emailed Tom Mockeridge tonight so hopefully this will go through the executive complaints process

  • mikelynch7
    mike lynch (@mikelynch7) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia presenting barriers to cancelling after contract has expired! Appropriate notice provided. On hold for 40 minutes to get through told to call back! Barriers to cancelling, especially where a customer could be financially vulnerable is wrong! Great business practices

    Qais Khan (@Qaisy_k_) reported

    @virginmedia Is it expensive to get extra products to improve WiFi signal. And also another question, if I purchased your broadband contract for 18months, can I cancel after the 18 months as the price is too much for me after

    @virginmedia Lies!!! Customer for years ... waiting for a call back from the complaints manager! Apparently need to wait 24 hrs- can’t express how useless and patronising the international reps are and it’s unacceptable that we are as customers are shown this level of rubbish care!!!!
