    @virginmedia call dropped AGAIN 3rd time today from technical support, can’t use your online service as it’s saying I am no longer a customer but thanks for taking my bill payment today. That’s another 4 hours I won’t get back why is it so impossible to actually get some help?!?

  • mraymond68
    Mark (@mraymond68) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia I have spent over 3 hours on the phone to you trying to get my broadband sorted and SIMON decides to cut me off!! Great customer service!! 😡

  • riverheart79
    Mick (@riverheart79) reported from Royal Leamington Spa, England

    @virginmedia please call my wife back as she has sat in the phone to you this morning for nearly an hour! She doesn’t want to join the community forum we just want decent broadband please which we had from you for months before you swapped our Hub to this newer one which is poor

  • Ade1701
    Ade1701 (@Ade1701) reported from Dorridge, England

    @virginmedia After more than FOUR HOURS on the phone I eventually got someone competent from billing to confirm I am eligible for one free booster and someone else to talk me through fixing the security issue. You seriously need to prioritise vulnerable customers!

  • PhilCampbell_
    Phil Campbell (@PhilCampbell_) reported from Willenhall, England

    @virginmedia Not gonna keep calling. I also won't be paying for a service you guys can't be bothered to give me.

  • Neil_Churchard
    Neil Churchard (@Neil_Churchard) reported from Solihull, England

    Wow just had the worst customer service from @virginmedia can’t say I’ll be staying a loyal customer at this rate 😤

  • ChrisImms
    I.Am.Chris.Imms (@ChrisImms) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia any chance of some customer service? Installation booked for last Friday, engineer didn't show up... twice I've called and been hung up on. Complained via email, no response. Anyone want to tell me what's going on?

  • TheRamblingElf
    Richard (@TheRamblingElf) reported from Birmingham, England

    @AksTailor @virginmedia When I had some issues like that I haggled a month or two of free Internet from Virgin until the issue was resolved. Convincing them to do that took an infuriating number of phone calls but it was a satisfactory outcome, I've stuck with them.

  • Jod_69
    Jo (@Jod_69) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down again today 4th time this week. Really will have to rethink providers

  • lorna_conway
    Doonie (@lorna_conway) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia Friday I booked an engineer as the WiFi on our hub keeps dropping. At the same time I upgraded my package. This includes tech help. Since Friday I've had no WiFi. I tried website chat but got dropped I've tried calling but was waiting too long. I'm getting bored!

  • PhilCampbell_
    Phil Campbell (@PhilCampbell_) reported from Willenhall, England

    @virginmedia Yes there's no issue on the checker. The connect app says it's fine except for a few times it's said the connection is poor. But 1mb some nights is ridiculous...

  • K45TRO
    EA (@K45TRO) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia why is your broadband so awful?

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

    Only 3 months until i can get rid of @virginmedia awful internet even worse customer service!

  • SEllisXD
    Sophy Ellis (@SEllisXD) reported from Coventry, England

    @virginmedia Look at that on hold then cut off storey of this issue.... again and again and again and again I’ll just do the same again tomorrow

  • lorna_conway
    Doonie (@lorna_conway) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia It's not an issues according to the site. It's working on wired connections. I'll be looking for compensation after this. If the costomer tells you there's a problem then take their word they're the ones paying you, why would they spend money other than to get what they pay for.

  • PhilCampbell_
    Phil Campbell (@PhilCampbell_) reported from Willenhall, England

    @virginmedia Still having issues. Was on hold for 1 hour 20 yesterday too and also got cut off...😑

  • Jod_69
    Jo (@Jod_69) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia As per last message it says problem in area. It’s back working now (see time of initial mail). 4th time this week it’s been down for prolonged periods of time. Not good

  • David_Preece
    David_Preece (@David_Preece) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yet again my internet is down, just had half service for 2 months and it worked for 10 days now gone again... yet you still take full payment out my bank, I see this a theft...

  • Jod_69
    Jo (@Jod_69) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yep just says problem in my area. Not helpful and is getting to be a pain tbh

  • skyblue_boy
    John Grant (@skyblue_boy) reported from Coventry, England

    @djmattye @EE @virginmedia Many call centres are the same. If it’s not what they want to tell/sell you it is a problem to them.

    @virginmedia We have been told this was part of an area fault but our neighbors on virgin now have internet connection and we are still without. We were also told something about our account, so have no clear information about the actual cause or reason. Again, poor customer service

  • willluminate
    WillLuminate (@willluminate) reported

  • munoz_cheryl
    Cheryl Munoz (@munoz_cheryl) reported

    @virginmedia No I had to hang up as my newborn baby needs to be fed, I was on hold for 45 minutes.

  • Lisa2611Fraser
    Lisa Fraser (@Lisa2611Fraser) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, no I am afraid not. In my locality we have many people off grid, I quite literally want to know what the issue is and when it will be resolved. There is no need for a private web chat. It’s is a public issue and this is a public forum. Virgin have dropped the ball here.
