    @virginmedia Another fail. I've reached out in exasperation since my chase-ups of 14th, 19th and today have been ignored. As have my 5 messages to your local rep who promised to be on hand. If you can't be bothered to help me, I'll just escalate via another route @richardbranson

    @virginmedia The TV goes all distorted I’ve done webchats phone calls the lot nothing has been resolved was told it was a problem in the area , neighbours have had no issues happened still have issues now but not as often but it’s a bit annoying esp when I’ve not had any money off

    @virginmedia Your customer services are useless!!!!!! 😡😡😡

    @LenFPS @virginmedia they don’t care. it only happens 7pm onwards but will happen until the next morning so I can’t stream or anything. and they’re telling me to write on a forum as if that will fix it😤

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Quite possibly the worst onboarding and customer 'care' experience I've EVER had @virginmedia Unfulfilled promises, failure to deliver contract as agreed and now I'm 'lost' in the system and being ignored. I'm left with no choice other than to 'out' you. #CaveatEmptor

  • EvanD
    Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia 2/ Despite that issue being due to a junction connection in the cabinet in the street, the op seems to refuse to look at that and just wants to reboot my router. Also claims it is due to my use of Modem Mode. Is there anyone in the UK I can contact regarding this?

  • JMEden_97
    James (@JMEden_97) reported from Solihull, England

    I hate VirginMedia me getting stupid little lag spikes

  • Stephen12857059
    Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    Once again the Internet Orovider that claims to be the best @virginmedia, has an outage. I bet all my savings there would be significant kick back if the directors didn’t get paid, because the Lady dealing with their account cannot get online. Time has come for change #cancelVM

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia But when a contract is agreed like a mortgage or a fixed energy deal surely the agreement should last the full term. I’ve had issues since September & been told I can’t leave due to being under a contract so why should my costs go up when I’ve got an agreement in place until Dec

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia right I’ve had issues for nearly a month I’ve done the link there’s a problem with the TV box please can I speak to a human ? This is seriously taking the mick now

  • CaseyRain
    Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, England

    Causing me to drop out of a work meeting once every 10 minutes. Oh, and Virgin tried to blame it on my hardware? Except... My neighbour is seeing the EXACT same thing. This wasn't happening before the outage. @virginmedia why am I paying you lots of money for a spotty connection?

  • tarun65170952
    tarun (@tarun65170952) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Im getting slow speeds on my broadband. My package is volt and which should be 250mbs im getting less that half of that. Please ask your team to look into this

  • haychapperz
    hayley chapman (@haychapperz) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia what is going on B31 5 still without Broadband & TV from 11am and now being told fix is 12pm tomorrow. I have been unable to work all day & now problem is going in to tomorrow. This is unacceptable & I hope refunds for loss of service will be applied to all accounts.

    @ChristineAllado @virginmedia I keep having this problem every week and nothing ever gets done and all you get back is we can't find a fault

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia No. Already done it about 7 times without any luck. I refuse to waste more hours in queues, only to rehash my issues to another anonymous operator. I've been assured that this is in the hands of a named handler, who didn't call me back as promised and is ignoring my emails. Fail

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia hi I was on a web chat last Sunday my TV was meant to be fixed by yesterday but it’s still not working & my other box is playing up now as well as the internet it’s been a month now & im paying a lot of money for a service I’m just not getting

    Stephen Cobb, #FBPE 🇺🇦 (@zcobb) reported from Coventry, England

    Me: Can you tell your supervisor that this email looks a lot like a phishing email? Support Person @virginmedia: I know, a lot of people have said that.

    John (@jfrncs_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

    @virginmedia without a doubt one of the worst companies to deal with, put your bills up to say services need improving and they get worse

  • bigbally
    Adrian Bird (@bigbally) reported

    @virginmedia If you want to know how really BAD this bunch of COWBOYS are - listen to BBC Radio Four "You & Your" Monday 13 April. Utterly inept and incompetent. STEALING a LIVING. The Senior Management should HANG THEIR INCOMPETENT HEADS IN SHAME.

    @lelly401 @virginmedia @NetflixUK No i had it separately. Then my virgin bill had a netflix subscription on it. I asked them to cancel as I hadn't taken netflix with them. Now my regular subscription has been downgraded to standard!!!

  • kingoftheshed
    Paul Parkin (@kingoftheshed) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve done this several times over the past week and I’m not talking to another automated service and getting nowhere. Any chance you could just fix the issues?

  • AlexBMastro
    AlexFFS (@AlexBMastro) reported

    @virginmedia I find it unacceptable that a service that costs £50 per month has an outage on a weekly basis... current outage has been going on since Friday night, nearly 24 hours already without a working connection. how is this possible ? And on a weekend as well

  • iadnan9
    Addy (@iadnan9) reported

    @virginmedia @AlloquiStrix Reported an issue 2 months ago and only just received a response. The advice given was unhelpful, careless, and frankly unprofessional. The issue is still ongoing with Now being told it could take another 28 days for a follow-up. Completely unacceptable and a waste of time.
