    @virginmedia I’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?

  • rrrussboy
    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

    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?

    @westbrookdanni @virginmedia Up to 2 weeks ago I didn't have a bad word to say about them. The pure fact you can't get through to someone is the worst of it. Happy to take your money and trim your internet speeds!

  • 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

    @virginmedia time now 11:14pm and certain channels still aren’t working, things said they have recorded when they haven’t, search function also still not working code c133. I think a refund is due to a lot of customers 👎🏻👎🏻#virginmediadown

    Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia Your missing the point my phone works now my complaint was about the fact it took 9 days to activate and Virgin changed the number

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

  • 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?

  • Just_Daz_Young
    Darren Young 📺 (@Just_Daz_Young) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia My tariff is going up from £72ish to £108ish so I want to leave... Simple but trying to get them to do this is madness. Internet is slow and not reliable, I have been promised the earth and it has just got worst! @BBCWatchdog

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

    @virginmedia I think she was recording a fault as far as I could make out due to her poor English

  • rrrussboy
    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

    @virginmedia I still have not received a payment I should have received on referring my father to switch to Virgin and he should have had a payment too. Our broadband has been poor this week and I hope it will be better this week.

    @virginmedia Any idea when the broadband issue will be fixed in my area ? Teesside . It’s been slow for a good few weeks . Finally the service status page shows there is an issue ,the estimated fix date keeps changing. My internet is now working intermittently.

    Over 24 hours, not a whisper, not a reply, no fix.@LittleBigSnake is this the image you wish to portray? @virginmedia - same for you, but what did I seriously expect. come on you two, get off your arses, send a few emails & earn your keep!

  • shauny67
    Shaun (@shauny67) reported

    @virginmedia @paulpresenteruk Never use ring door bell over WiFi why cos only works on 2.4ghz & Virgin like all providers combine 2.4 & 5ghz together would need to split them & set a static IP address for the ring door bell on 2.4ghz. best option is ethernet to a POE switch for data & power

    @virginmedia absolutely **** company. Don't look after their loyal customers. Trying to cancel phone line and going to charge extra for smaller package. Just **** off
