@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.

@KellyQuilt @virginmedia Virgin are hopeless for ease of contact. My daughter was with them and the service wasn’t at all good. This nonsense about calling them at a time to suit them is just ludicrous. They need to admit that they (& others) don’t staff adequately to suit their customers convenience. 🤬

@virginmedia your treatment of us over a Lasting Power of Attorney issue has been appalling. Your people have actually SHREDDED a document costing hundreds of pounds despite us being told it had been returned. CISAS has been invoked and your CEO will be told . @MoneyTelegraph

@virginmedia hey guys whatever I try to play back or if I rewind live tv to play back the boxing is terrible so much so you’re unable to watch the programme. The wires are all connected fine and all other internet devices are fine. What’s the issue?

@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.

@virginmedia so what crap excuse u got today for us in the ws10 area? Internet down again. Honestly if you were a guard dog nothing would be safe. Even less reliable than the weather forecast.

@virginmedia That was the first thing I tried but nothing happened. It’s only when I power off at the wall, wait a minute then power on that it changes. Right now it’s working fine but this has been a recurring problem this week.

@virginmedia Right then fools. How many times do I need to contact you to tell you how bad our internet is? I am so fed up with this service and wouldn't recommend you to my worst enemy. I cant wait to get service from someone reliable. Clowns

@virginmedia The ideal resolution would have been for VM to return the document as originally promised. We have dealt with other companies in this regard and all have been prompt and professional. Even the DWP accepted a photocopy of the POA. Why VM couldn't is entirely beyond me.

@virginmedia Everything is running fine then my devices can’t connect. It takes me switching the router off at the wall and on again for the connection to reestablish itself. First world problems but it’s a pain when I’m working upstairs and the router is downstairs. And it should just work!

@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

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

I'm so pissed off @virginmedia blackmailed me into signing my mobile contract with @O2 by saying my media account would be cheaper. If I stayed with virgin it would be amount more. So I had no option but to go with o2 and No my mobile Internet is crap. I can't use my doorbell

@virginmedia I have been but they couldn’t get a good-enough price and directed me to the self-service page but I get “customer-exclusion” at the end of the URL which tells me to use chat.

@virginmedia No all other social media apps are fine. I only get this issue when connected to Virgin Media WiFi - I have tried at 2 different locations and still have the same issue

DAWN EVANS
(@quirkygirl09) reported
@virginmedia Yes I have already checked this and there aren't any problems. When anyone tries ringing them it says 'cant connect', they also have no dialing tone, they have checked wiring and even tried a new phone. Im really worried as they are in their 80's and being shielded.

@methflaps @virginmedia On google, did another site also and got sub 50, it’s so inconsistent. I pay for 300+ and I’ve never had over 210 lol

@virginmedia I had a message that my mobile carrier has changed 5 days ago and I’ve had no service since.

Jonathan Burge
(@jonathanburgeDT) reported
@virginmedia Yes, I have contacted them 5 times. They do not understand the issue. Is there a contact number so I can speak to a senior technician. It’s difficult to explain the issue. I have tried a new sim and many resets. They keep suggesting the same thing. Thanks, Jonathan.

Lucy Snevets
(@juicyloocey1981) reported
@virginmedia We have checked the status, there’s apparently no issues. The error code is the same, says try again in a few minutes, it’s now a week later and it does not work. Can you look into this please. By the looks of social media, my problem is not unique.

@virginmedia Service status always says everythings fine, but the wifi around the house drops off numerous times a day. Its clearly the router being cheap and nasty quality, but can never get hold of someone to sort it for us!

@virginmedia Don't worry I have changed to BT and will never take any service related to Virgin again.
