    @virginmedia This is a long story. But Virgin have changed my IMEI number making a second repair not possible. My account is down and even Virgin can't access it. I've been promised calls back several times but they've not happened. The litany of Virgin failures is impossible to put in a text

    @virginmedia Folks, amuse me, why on earth would I or anyone complete a survey after leaving you when you couldn’t deal with the issue within 2 months and dare I say the plus 20 years we had an undiagnosed fault!?

    @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

    Jamie Meecham🏳️‍🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia care to explain why a member of staff felt that hanging up on a customer complaining about their broadband is acceptable? And now I’m stuck on hold AGAIN to solve my issue.

    Had a real problem with Virgin media. Was paying this month's bill when Virgin had a problem as with its auto payment service and the payment couldn't be processed. I then tried again via their website and the payment went through......

  • polhilljim
    Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I've already done that. They've made promises but done nothing. I always have to chase you. Phone backs just don't happen. Nobody wants to help.

    @MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee

    @virginmedia Great ring the number that has been absolutely shocking from day 1 or wait 28 days for Virgin to answer a complaint I have been trying to resolve for 10 days currently on phone with customer service but wont let me speak to a manger absolutely s*** from @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog

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

    @virginmedia I’ve had two lengthy phone calls with your ‘technical support’ people; it briefly got quicker then stopped working completely. On their instructions I’ve changed some settings on my router which apparently may take 48 hours to fully take effect…

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

    @virginmedia No, I want the postal address for service of a county court summons.

  • polhilljim
    Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to a manager who can help. They don't seem to want to. I have a contract phone, it won't charge, it's under guarantee, I'm paying you and you won't help.

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

    @virginmedia local outage again, is this a common thing with Virgin? It’s happened 3 times since we joined, I can’t work or study, do customers of other providers get this too?

    chris speller (@chris_speller) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia @richardbranson Never had a problem with them, they sent me the packaging when I left to send it back and it was free postage so hardly difficult , terms and conditions does state to send it back so if you choose not to then that’s your lookout ..

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia They're the kind of company who are all nice when things go their way When there's a problem, or you leave them, they become piss poor, ignorant and hostile After all our issues, they often send salesmen to our door asking for is to switch I usually threaten them with violence

    @virginmedia What on earth is going on. Intermittent broadband, all WiFi pods disabled and the site says I don't actually have any. Customer support says you're replacing cables in my area, but no planned work showing

  • YvonneWard0
    Yvonne Ward (@YvonneWard0) reported

    @virginmedia I would like a telephone number in the uk that I can ring please we have an ongoing complaint that is not being addressed. We have been on the phone many times and always told they can help they never do and fobbed off that tech will ring us. Emails not replied to.

    @shashpatel23 @virginmedia @HopeForTo Honestly, it’s a joke! Saying 8:07pm fix time here in Birmingham! If I hadn’t been forced to upgrade my V6 box to 360 software I’d still be able to access the tv channels!! But because 360 relies on wifi connection I can’t get any tv!! 🤯🤯😡😡

    @virginmedia @Dudley1uk How we supposed to register for compensation when your stupid site and service doesn't even work properly to register a complaint? Pathetic in not ringing you so you can. Charge me £1.50 that I won't get back.
