    @virginmedia Folks, amuse me, why on earth would I or anyone complete a survey after leaving you when you couldn’t deal with the issue within 2 months and dare I say the plus 20 years we had an undiagnosed fault!?

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?

    @virginmedia @nickgooner80 I wanna know why my broadband has been all day! I do not want to be paying for a service I cannot use!!!!!! 🤬🤬 I have a bored 6 year old. SORT IT OUT!!! And I can’t check my service status as I can’t access the internet even on my 4G or the virgin media app.

  • onearmedjohn
    Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had two lengthy phone calls with your ‘technical support’ people; it briefly got quicker then stopped working completely. On their instructions I’ve changed some settings on my router which apparently may take 48 hours to fully take effect…

  • GoonerGrizzly
    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.

    @LutzSchueler @virginmedia We’ve been waiting since January for VM fibre to be installed and the customer service has been shocking. I’ve raised 3 complaints emailed your office and still have not had the service installed. Next stop the communications ombudsman !!

  • RobDew8
    Rob Dew (@RobDew8) reported

    @virginmedia My virgin broadband has been down since Sunday 24/05….had engineers booked yesterday and today, but no one turned up ! Apparently this is a wider issue but tbh I have no idea what’s going on.shambolic customer service. Looking to leave them asap

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 Isn’t that the whole point of a bereavement team? To stop **** like this happening? Human input. A little time when he told you 3 months ago is a pathetic excuse also

  • DjRkzr86
    DJ_rkzr86 (@DjRkzr86) reported

    @PeteUK7 @itsendeavour @virginmedia Spoiler alert, they won't. Feedback it's nothing else than automated spam to decive customers they care. I've been with virgin almost decade and at least half of it was my negative feedback and they services only getting worst.

  • daddytoatribe
    Kyle (@daddytoatribe) reported

    @virginmedia If you can offer a deal to a new customer you should be able to offer the same deal for existing customers. This is why your retention rate is diabolical because the introductory offers expire and the new offer is 300% more than what they was paying. Should be illegal

    Shauna Campbell (@happymum2005) reported

    @PeteUK7 @LucyGoBag @virginmedia That’s appalling. Though for even their ‘apology response’ to get community noted is quite a spectacular fail!

    Rebecca (@RumouredRebecca) reported

    @virginmedia No thanks. We are switching to Sky in 12 days. The bill is extortionate and the service abysmal. Appreciate the message though

    @BrianNicholso16 @virginmedia Their customer service is appalling, I've told them i am leaving and the date, which is my contract end date so they have sent me a bill for beyond that on out of contract fees
