  • engineer59a Richard S (@engineer59a) reported from Corringham, England

    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

  • buckers43 Andrew Buxton (@buckers43) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia I've been a customer with you for 21 years and your customer service is not great, I'm paying through the roof for my package, the wifi is crap sometimes, your team has offered to take my bill down £20, but when I mentioned about replacing my hub, that will cost £35

  • paulLUFC11 paul wilson (@paulLUFC11) reported

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to yourselves for weeks constantly put on hold !! I have intermittent WiFi for months now I was told by yourselves that a WiFi booster might help but I have to ring to organise this but yet I can’t get through

  • EllieMursParish Ellie-May (@EllieMursParish) reported

    @virginmedia No I haven't been able to speak to someone regarding the actual complaint, no one on the customer service team is able to resolve or put me through to someone senior. I am waiting for a call back from someone which definitely won't happen as I've been told this 3 times before.

  • pompeygirl73 Sonny W 💙 🇪🇺 (@pompeygirl73) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been with VM for years, but the customer service is horrendous. No empathy, no using one’s initiative, passing the customer onto another team. You need to do better than this for long-standing customers.

  • dirkdiggler44 Dirk Diggler (@dirkdiggler44) reported

    @MyFirstTrainers @virginmedia Good luck with Wi-Fi booster... didn’t help me at all .. virgin engineer said their equipment wasn’t very good and told me the only solution was to buy a Wi-Fi mesh system.. £200 later problem solved .. unfortunately virgin couldn’t sort my Wi-Fi hell out

  • MutliRaceMan Jean Thierry 💙 (@MutliRaceMan) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia My daughter had to make 2 phone calls to your customer service department to resolve a problem with her new TV box in November last year. She was almost 2 hours on the phone & then an engineer visit solved the problem. Engineer admitted the setup instructions were at fault.

  • Bryanhawes3 Bryan (@Bryanhawes3) reported

    @virginmedia I tried that on Tuesday, waste of my time trying to ring you as you never answer, so you have all my details so e mail me the final bill and I’ll happily pay for the last month.

  • JRTurnerPhoto Jake Turner (@JRTurnerPhoto) reported

    @virginmedia The WiFi is only reaching about 5m from the hub. Been an issue for about a month now.

  • rajgillwho Jed i Knight (@rajgillwho) reported

    @virginmedia @vmbusinesshelp It’s a residential account! Unfortunately, I feel like I’m paying more for a service, as you know doesn’t work! Now it’s time for those 7 plus calls to get the bill sorted! Or getting through to the right person!

  • sanguineseas_ sanguineseas (@sanguineseas_) reported

    @virginmedia Yes it's the virgin v6 box, both have been rebooted. Automated check on the phone said there were 'no issues detected' but the picture is still distorted massively (unwatchable levels)

  • mrsnwatkins13 Nicola (@mrsnwatkins13) reported

    @virginmedia Atm it's OK but it is always going off or we can't get WiFi properly. Tried ringing you up but it's impossible to speak to an actual person. Very poor service.
