    @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 @virginmedia is there an email address I can send a complaint to you customer service don’t want to accept it and your web form has been completed but no response!!

    @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!

    @ClassicSoulDJ @virginmedia Get @BTGroup much more reliable - have read so many stories about #Virgin having problems

  • hungoverdrawn
    Robert Shaw (@hungoverdrawn) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia It's started working this morning after 24 hours down, bit strange that your website said there were no service issues anywhere 😒 I guess I'll cancel that engineer visit now.

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

    @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 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?

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

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

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

    @virginmedia No landline for 9 days following a house move, incorrect bills, and poor customer service being cut off many times

    @virginmedia Hopefully the confirmation of the rude man losing his job.

    @virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

  • DanskiBoyWonder

    @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.

    Michael Buckley (@MikeBuckley2) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia I am trying to access live chat as I have blackspots in house and would like WiFi boosters from Virgin. I have 200 Mbps but am getting only 20mbps in bedroom. Cannot find live chat on sites other than loads of help pages. Really frustrating

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

    @virginmedia 5 days with no landline despite your customer services saying 24 hours everytime I ring so yes I have been in touch and no they have still not sorted it total joke!

  • GoonerGrizzly
    grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

  • 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

  • samanthadoe1
    Samantha Doe (@samanthadoe1) reported from Canvey Island, England

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

  • yiddo71

    @virginmedia has the shittest broadband and customer service in the world!!!

    @virginmedia When are you going to refund me for many days without a wifi signal

    @virginmedia your online chat to us hasn’t worked for over 6 weeks. I have only been able to cancel today after being on a 1 hour call. Please advise when my account will be credited?

  • marycallaghan08

    @virginmedia what’s going on in B44? No Tv channels, error code CS2004 & nobody responding on web messaging. Poor customer service. We’re not in Nepal for heaven’s sake

  • HNMZY16
    Harry M (@HNMZY16) reported

    @Johnty14 @virginmedia It's not Virgin Media themselves that do this btw. Some outside leaflet drop company gets hired to do it and they don't give a **** where they put that leaflet.

  • BarstowJenny
    Jenny Barstow (@BarstowJenny) reported

    @virginmedia no service for 32 days appointments booked but for wrong issue, every time I go in chat I get different reasons but nothing comes of it. complaints resolved with no communication with me, all I get is we are dealing with it, to say I’m fuming is an understatement

  • lightbody
    Lightbody 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@lightbody) reported

    @virginmedia please please please can you replace my ancient 11 year old Hub 3. It doesn't play nice with my modern Nest WiFi Pro mesh system. It wasn't very good when it was new! Customer services won't help because it's not actually broken!

  • shakeyknee
    Andy🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@shakeyknee) reported

    @CheekyVic @virginmedia Their broadband etc is top notch for me tbh, so fast and reliable but when I’ve had an issue their customer service has been truly ******* abysmal, they clearly don’t learn do they?
