-
Scott Wickham (@Scott_Wic) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia My request to support was about the hub5 and some Wi-Fi extenders/boosters which I’m entitled to, they said that it was sorted and would be in the post and now only the hub5 has turned up!!! Does this mean I have to contact support again…….
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking
-
roger cole (@RogerCole10135) reported from Basildon, England@virginmedia we done that, all connections are in to the box, your company network thinks that we are connected via router this not so, but has a cable run into the house.
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service
-
Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I spent over an hour on the phone yesterday trying to get through to a customer service rep only to get cut off. Still waiting to hear on WhatsApp and been on hold this afternoon 45 mins and still holding???? Whats going on??
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.
-
Marc Gallagher (@marcgallagher82) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia your sales team are the biggest bunch of #fraudsters I’ve ever dealt with! Phone us to offer a better package and you have taken our package and completely messed it all up! #CustomerService at it’s worst! If this is how you treat a loyal customer of 14year, I’m off!
-
Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England@BBCWatchdog can you help @virginmedia make it impossible to complain or resolve any issues the ultimate poor customer service!!
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia No, I want the postal address for service of a county court summons.
-

-
Sam #GSBOUT (@_SamButler) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia BT Sports 2 picture keeps getting distorted... any other channel is fine can you help please
-
Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia Great ring the number that has been absolutely shocking from day 1 or wait 28 days for Virgin to answer a complaint I have been trying to resolve for 10 days currently on phone with customer service but wont let me speak to a manger absolutely s*** from @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog
-
Geoff Watkins (@DronePilotGeoff) reported from Gillingham, England@fasurveyors @virginmedia I have to say; I’m normally pretty pleased with @virginmedia internet. It’s normally fast and reliable. But last couple of days has been awful. It’s getting too expensive as well
-
Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia No landline for 9 days following a house move, incorrect bills, and poor customer service being cut off many times
-
Peter Fudge 💙 (@statusquo44) reported from Canvey Island, England@leonagraham @virginmedia Yes, the issue is you’re being denied internet access 👍
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia so after weeks of unbelievably poor broadband and customer service there was an offer from you to resolve the situation with a web chat at 11am, with a link being provided here. No link. I’m lost for words
-
Tommy Doyle 💙 (@Tommy_Doyle) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia Hi, had a call this morning allegedly from you saying my internet service was compromised and malware was being downloaded, then proceeded to ask questions which I refused to answer. Was it you lot?
-
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
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia They haven’t got through to anyone to cancel it yet?

-
ℂ𝕒𝕣𝕣𝕪𝔾𝕒𝕣𝕪 🇬🇧 (@CarryGaryUK) reportedVirgin Media has such crap service honestly. No Internet for one week is just not good enough @virginmedia.
-
Elka (@NineIsTheNumber) reported@NLeespeaking On the other hand, when I reported a fault to Virgin Media they confidently told me it was an issue in my area which would be resolved in 24hrs. It was in fact a broken wire.
-
Nick Morris (@nickjmorris_3) reported@virginmedia no tv or broadband all day in WD5 area. Called customer services who told us it would be fixed at 2:30am. That’s not good enough. Please can someone contact us to let us know how to get online sooner?
-
. (@AlexparkerI) reported@MelJanie @virginmedia I’ve just left virgin media. Their customer service is abysmal
-
MerlinJ & the Dowager. (@HamsterSick) reported@Johnty14 @virginmedia I can't stand virgin I will not be renewing that contract November **** that. I dont pay failure
-
Irate_Jobbie (@Irate_Jobbie) reported@AwTroon Many, many years ago, I called virgin media to tell them I was leaving. They asked why, I said you don't offer value for money anymore. Sorry you're leaving but that is the best price, you already have. It was expensive. No problem, bye now. Next day, virgin cold calls me. Asks me to confirm who I am. I said no, you are calling me, you should know. Guy was annoyed as he was phoning to offer me a better deal. I said fine, I'll call the same retentions team I called yesterday to leave and I'll know it's actually virgin. He got angry, said they can't offer discounts, only he could and if I didn't confirm my details, he couldn't give me the offer. I just told him I could no longer do business with virgin due to such poor security procedures. He seemed very angry about the fact I wasn't willing to give personal identifiable information to a stranger cold calling me. Never paid them a penny again.

Expanse Consulting Ltd (@ExpanseCon) reported@MartinXTweets @VodafoneIreland Not a vodafone issue. Looks like a core switch failure, optical cross-connect fault or other fault inside one of the central carrier-neutral hubs. It has dropped interconnection across multiple fixed ISPs (Virgin Media, Eir, Siro, NBI) simultaneously.
