  • polhilljim Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia This is a long story. But Virgin have changed my IMEI number making a second repair not possible. My account is down and even Virgin can't access it. I've been promised calls back several times but they've not happened. The litany of Virgin failures is impossible to put in a text

  • samanthadoe1 Samantha Doe (@samanthadoe1) reported from Canvey Island, England

    Having real problems with our broadband dropping out regularly @virginmedia. Any known issues in the SS8 area?

  • polhilljim Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I've already done that. They've made promises but done nothing. I always have to chase you. Phone backs just don't happen. Nobody wants to help.

  • polhilljim Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to a manager who can help. They don't seem to want to. I have a contract phone, it won't charge, it's under guarantee, I'm paying you and you won't help.

  • moebius1967 ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    I'm having real trouble cancelling my Virgin media account. Cant6v chat them, can't email them now on hold for 10 minutes. Just want to end the contract give 30 days notice. New promotion only for new customers. Wtf?

  • keldaaa Kelda🥤 (@keldaaa) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia I can’t seem to find an email address or postal address for general queries, can you please provide me with one? My nan is now in a care home with dementia and we need to cancel her landline, broadband & mobile on her behalf so need to write to you to give details.

  • samanthadoe1 Samantha Doe (@samanthadoe1) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia Yes and there are/were no known broadband issues showing in the area on the service page

  • Dearnormajeane lindsay wood (@Dearnormajeane) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @kelseybytheway @virginmedia Second this so ******* hard. Diagnostics dont do **** when the issue is with the hardware itself

  • jooz282 Julie McCarthy (@jooz282) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia It was a little more than short lasting pixelation! The channel kept dropping completely and during the main fight it felt like we were watching in slow motion.

  • jooz282 Julie McCarthy (@jooz282) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia problems with the boxing again tonight - paid for @anthonyfjoshua fight and keep getting pixelated picture and channel going off air entirely - is it being sorted?

  • KeeleyOF101 Keeley O'Flaherty (@KeeleyOF101) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia you came to my mums house to fix cable. You’ve left having disconnected her phone line and sent it to a neighbour house who is now being rude. Been on hold hour on phone. Both in poor health phone Essential

  • NicklessColin Colin Nickless (@NicklessColin) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia broadband down again in Southend. Had to pay for a BT WiFi day pass so my wife can continue working from home.

  • moebius1967 ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Had a real problem with Virgin media. Was paying this month's bill when Virgin had a problem as with its auto payment service and the payment couldn't be processed. I then tried again via their website and the payment went through......

  • moebius1967 ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @bushontheradio Trying to get through to Virgin media to cancel the contract. Bloody chatbot isn't worth a ****

  • vikkiLCmoore vikki moore (@vikkiLCmoore) reported

    @virginmedia currently dealing with one of the worst customer service situations I have ever been in, 9 months of constant problems advisors are clearly not trained to do there jobs. Was with sky for 25 years before changing to virgin media what a joke

  • SundaeLolz ȿundªɛ 🏳️‍🌈 (@SundaeLolz) reported

    @virginmedia The call back was about a change to package deal following a death. The bereavement team passed me over to the customer service department and the CSR I spoke with promised to call me back after speaking with a manager. That was at about 9.30am this morning.

  • chandjethwa Chand Jethwa (@chandjethwa) reported

    @virginmedia Latest status unknown, last discussed 16/05/22, advised complaint will be looked into but don’t know when. Complaint logged 28/04/22 after numerous failing to log previously. Advised manager would call back in a hour or two, its well over 24 hours and not heard a word!

  • tweraksa Tom (@tweraksa) reported

    @virginmedia has the worst possible customer service/pre-install team I've ever dealt with. No one knows what's happening with my installation, absolutely disgraceful.

  • inolan1981 Ian Nolan (@inolan1981) reported

    @virginmedia Network tests show it’s okay but for a minute or so a couple of times a day it totally drops out.

  • JenG1210 𝙹𝚎𝚗 (@JenG1210) reported

    @virginmedia They've arranged it now, but it really didn't have to take 90 minutes for something which should be straightforward. Also all of the info that your chat bot asks for had to be repeated. Not great service, especially when I work for a telco company myself so know what to expect

  • JamesPalGA James (@JamesPalGA) reported

    @virginmedia No, it's the router. I just reboot and it comes back online. Local service is fine. Think I have a stinker of a router. Is there a way to get it replaced?

  • Marc_Burrows Marc Burrows (@Marc_Burrows) reported

    @virginmedia I have it written down on a piece of paper and distinctly remember asking in the phone call if everything was for the 18 months, so you can go through the recorded phone call if need be. I was at least never told it was for anything less than 18 months (either 6 or 12).

  • CJ0000013 CC (@CJ0000013) reported

    @virginmedia been waiting longer than 48 hours for a manager call back, initially was told 24 hours but then I had to chase up and was then told its 48 hours which even that has passed! Shocking customer service!!
