    @virginmedia Hi. The team have also said that the issue isn’t resolved though? Everything has been reset multiple times this morning and still the same issue.

    I purchased @virginmedia high speed wifi but they are not giving a proper service We are totally frustrated

  • 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

    @virginmedia @YodelOnline your ability to deliver equipment is shocking!!! The customer service you provide is even worse!!!

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

    @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

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

    @virginmedia Alternatively, if you feel the urge to actually be helpful, you can search my name and location (it's an uncommon name) and ask a complaints manager to contact me. No security issues or breaches, since the notes I've been assured are on file, will be there to check.

    Virgin media. Your internet broadband is down,we hope to have it fixed by 10pm.😣 Modern warfare 2 campaign day. And no internet.😢

    Fed up of these “intermittent” problems with my @virginmedia broadband.

    @virginmedia red button for the football not working again. @SkySports

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

    @virginmedia And this is why, I'll be reporting you to trading standards for fraudulent misselling/misrepresentation and then abdicating ALL responsibility/accountability to resolve. There's no security/DPA issues in you giving me a direct dial number via DM. You just don't want to resolve.

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

    @virginmedia hi I’ve had an ongoing complaint since September, I’ve had an email to contact yourselves but the phone number is getting me nowhere , is there another way of contacting the complaints dept?

  • mrmjprice
    MJP - mastodonapp.uk/@mrmjprice (@mrmjprice) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.

  • charlwalden
    𝕔𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕠𝕥𝕥𝕖🧸 (@charlwalden) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia how am I supposed to book an engineer? There are issues with the quick start installation I have and need an engineer to set it up for me

  • robintjohnson8
    Robin Johnson (@robintjohnson8) reported from Coventry, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. While I’m on the subject - why does it ALWAYS take multiple attempts to sort anything out with VM? Your WhatsApp and online support workers usually sign off with ‘rest assured you will not have to contact us again’. But this is rarely true?

    @virginmedia internet down , is there a problem ? I am working from home & need it ? What time does you office open ?

  • jfrncs_
    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 @virginmedia are basically conmen, still intermittent service still happens everytime its a warm day and football is on, yet it is impossible to speak to anyone on phone ,unable to book an engineer online,glad my contract ends in November cos I ain't renewing.

  • S_Fleary1

    I have literally just left @virginmedia because of their poor service, constant internet outages and high bills. Let me know if we can claim compensation.

  • andyosb
    Andy (@andyosb) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia did exactly the same thing to me back in 2019! It was - and still is - the worst customer service experience of my life (and I'm now 65). It was just so glad to escape them eventually. They're utter scum. Do yourself a favour & don't go anywhere near this company.

  • MY21_Oracle
    Mehrdad Yousefi (@MY21_Oracle) reported

    Ofcom has fined Virgin Media O2 £28mn for repeatedly preventing customers from cancelling contracts, after it found that the UK telecoms group had likely mishandled millions of customer calls.

    I need a new broadband provider, so fed up of dealing with daily outages with @virginmedia Never known a company to be this terrible. Paying for Gig1 Volt yet I can barely even get 50mbps download speed. Engineer visit booked, wait in and no one turns up or even communicates
