    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......

    @virginmedia Sort it out Virgin IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!! Can’t even log on to get service updates 😡😡😡

    @virginmedia They replaced the box and it’s all working now,I do have one other query I have the Virgin go app but I don’t have any content available on it,is this something you can fix for me? There appears to be an issue with my account I have the ultimate ooomph package if that matters.

    @BritishGas I’m truly astonished. I didn’t think there could be anyone worse than @virginmedia for customer service but you’ve managed it. I’m in awe.

  • GoonerGrizzly
    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

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

    @virginmedia No, we’re way past all that now, this has been going on for months/years. Now, I can’t even get to talk to anyone. I’ve requested you change my box. You haven’t. What is the head office address for service of legal documents please?

  • 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.

  • Twiterteroo

    @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!?

  • becshawyer
    Becca (@becshawyer) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia disgusting customer service ... after months of issues still not being resolved our latest phone call after raising a complaint the customer service representative hung up on me! Getting to the point now where we will be leaving 😡

  • JamieMeecham
    Jamie Meecham🏳️‍🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia care to explain why a member of staff felt that hanging up on a customer complaining about their broadband is acceptable? And now I’m stuck on hold AGAIN to solve my issue.

  • sinozza
    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??

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

    @virginmedia I raised the complaint on 14/7 and I’ve heard nothing

  • DronePilotGeoff
    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

  • statusquo44
    Peter Fudge 💙 (@statusquo44) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @leonagraham @virginmedia Yes, the issue is you’re being denied internet access 👍

  • goonerlgh
    Lawrence Hooker (@goonerlgh) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Third Superhub and it's just as unreliable as the previous two. Frequently has to be reset. Slow speeds, unstable wifi. When are you going to replace it with decent hardware?

  • tolu_____
    Tolu (@tolu_____) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

  • moleyfozz
    paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia since you upgraded me for free to intelligent wifi, ive lost all signal upstairs arghhh. How can i switch back?

  • moleyfozz
    paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England

    @MrG48 @virginmedia Yep. Turned it all off once came back ok but very hit and miss tonight. Good job not working from home at the moment.

  • jamesrfyoung
    James Young (@jamesrfyoung) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia your internet has been rubbish recently with varying speeds as low as 5mb 1 minute then 95mb the next! Now it’s gone down completely! On top of not being able to speak with anyone I don’t feel that your service is worth it! #rubbishservice

  • owensirons93
    Andrew Owen (@owensirons93) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia any reason why you still haven’t fixed our phone lines? Been down for 3 months now so I’ll be expecting a reimbursement. Also expect a reimbursement due to the fact your failing to supply the minimum download speed

    @kimerthywoo Hi it's us from Virgin Media O2. Sorry to hear your having this issue. If possible could you send us a screenshot of the error you are getting over a private chat, so we can look into this for you.

  • CarryOnGemma
    CarryOnGemma (@CarryOnGemma) reported

    @virginmedia this has gone beyond the pale now. You already know all the issues my dad and I have had for, well, weeks now. Dad had all his recordings deleted and now his new recordings are recording and now, when he’s watched part of something he can’t go back and watch it because it says the recording has failed. This has happened on every recording. It seems to record fine then changes to failed. Get this sorted and get the broadband sorted. How @Ofcom isn’t all over this I don’t know. Pushing people to take the V6 and then a year later this happens. Shocking.

    @Refan80 @virginmedia Makes me sick mate ..they know the issue and just sit there being dumb and stating the obvious

  • Th3Crusad3r

    @virginmedia Internet down, nobody has come to install my new media sets and your phone line crashes and cuts off when trying to call you Message me immediately

  • RobHolroyd
    Rob Holroyd (@RobHolroyd) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia We're having the same problem, been a year now, my dad is having to pay bills manually and incurring additional charges as they won't recognise his wife has died after countless emails and calls. It's disgusting.

    @virginmedia how do i request a spotter as my home is hooked up to your network but your site says it isn't?

  • FrazzzYT
    Frazzz (@FrazzzYT) reported

    Virgin Media has got to have some of the worst systems in the UK. Demanding money (I kid you not putting a demand for £0.00 or they will cut service and apply late fees) spoke to complaints they sorted and wiped everything. Literally two mins ago a new email demanding money >.>

  • FractalDoctor
    Dr Stuart Woolley (@FractalDoctor) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Had exactly the same situation last year with a close relative. Complete shambles that took many mails and waiting on hold on the phone to resolve, then sending back boxes of crap that would no doubt go into landfill. I'd recommend avoiding them at all costs, for anyone.
