    Virgin media - your automated service has a flaw, it just repeats the same message, ‘ no faults found’, when there is a fault, like my internet is giving 2Mb download right now

    @Shadow_Official @virginmedia This issue I found happened more on wifi, I had to put in a secondary switch and run everything via Ethernet.

  • LawroGardiner Lawrence Gardiner ➡️ (@LawroGardiner) reported from Basildon, England

    @Dianemiddleto @tankhead666 @virginmedia Thanks. I got the text hours after talking to Virgin Media on the phone to activate my hub after a house move. Never had it before. Something not right in their call centres.

  • RyanTCB Ryan (@RyanTCB) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia So only total loss of service allows me compensation,just 7 days of really awful service including customer services, when asked about compensation and I query the criteria,throw a ‘sorry I can’t hear you’... Now that’s really awful customer service 😡

  • marcsnappy Marc Corn (@marcsnappy) reported from Basildon, England

    Hey @virginmedia you better offer me a better deal tomorrow or else I will be leaving. New customers are always treated better than existing. I know from experience with you guys that this never changes.

  • WUFC2005 Football 4 All (@WUFC2005) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia nothing but issues. 2G & 5G always stops working. Updates happens when ever it feels like. And every time I contact Virgin, it's like talking to a 6 year old.

    @virginmedia Not happy would never have payed for something I did not watch

  • Kay2021J JKay2021 (@Kay2021J) reported

    @virginmedia The only help I need is for your U.K. customer service team to answer the phone and do their job - I’ve been promised a free wifi pod to be sent to me since 12th March - I’ve spoken with 6 people since-still nothing received except excuses of fobbing me off to a different country

  • ididitathome Ian (@ididitathome) reported

    @virginmedia I have just checked. No issues. The Net is back on at the min There have been drop outs for a month. You can not get through on the phone ? Why I ask myself. Well the answer is self explanatory You are tampering with the network We pay you for a service. Which we are not getting

  • nicgare NicGare (@nicgare) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. Wasn’t offered a form. Was given a ref number. Currently lost WiFi on the mobile I am using to type this! It really is not good enough. We have had issues for weeks. Even for VN this is a new low.

  • DavidLFCid David (@DavidLFCid) reported

    @virginmedia So basically your saying to make a complaint we have to go back to square one and deal with your poor customer service once more because your handlers haven’t done their job correctly? OFCOM are going to love this. Bear in mind we also keep a record of all contacts just like you

  • silemcveigh Síle Allen (@silemcveigh) reported

    @virginmedia Our wifi has vanished! Recorded message saying your customer service department is closed?!! Suggestions?

  • DavidLFCid David (@DavidLFCid) reported

    @virginmedia Ok so you still haven’t addressed the issue at hand which is your complaint process has already failed us today. You don’t want to acknowledge that your are taking peoples money in promise for a service which you are not providing or even giving a manager a chance to answer

  • Svhh14 Svhh (@Svhh14) reported

    @virginmedia Can a team member contact me via dm to get this sorted! It’s so frustrating paying for wifi service then having to use mobile data instead cause the WiFi is **** 😡

  • JenningsIrene irene jennings (@JenningsIrene) reported

    @virginmedia Oh my word. Why bother I already said have spoken to your team on numerous occasions and no one is doing anything hence me tweeting about your appalling customer service and your answer is to call them again! Great ! Will pick this up with Ofcom

  • JenningsIrene irene jennings (@JenningsIrene) reported

    @virginmedia I have rebooted of course. Engineer that was out also said problem but virgin are doing nothing to fix
