    @kelseybytheway @virginmedia Second this so ******* hard. Diagnostics dont do **** when the issue is with the hardware itself

    @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.

    @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

    @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 😡

    @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

    @Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

    @virginmedia No its ok.... ill get a proper company to take the contract over and cancel you. @BBCWatchdog are surely interesting in your customer service as I have screen shots.

    @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??

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

    @virginmedia No and there’s no point. You’ve had two years to fix this. I’m not paying any more and you can sue me. See you in court.

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

    ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    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?

  • 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

  • cboxot
    C Borrill-Bromige (@cboxot) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I've been having issues with internet dropping out continuosly for a couple of months, you sent another WiFi pod still the problem is there! The hub 3 status network connection has warnings and is critical, losing sync! I have been spin around in circles!

  • 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?

  • yiddo71
    Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia No as normal Virgin customer service go quiet until I am forced to ring them again and as for the bill no additional charges you just seem to have doubled the bill

  • Synifx
    Syni (@Synifx) reported

    @marlino @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Just speculating based on industry patterns. A lot of the understaffing has come because companies think that AI is the future, despite how incompetent it still is at customer service matters. More stuff gets escalated to fewer people.

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia I recently had British Gas apologise for not carrying out my mother's boiler service. She died in 2020.

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia I feel your pain - I’m having trouble with @BritishGasHelp who have even sent an apology addressed to my deceased mother and the man I spoke to couldn’t understand why I was so upset and that it had taken me 10 days to ring and try and explain
