    @virginmedia seems to bollock about with their broadband at 1am on a Wednesday without fail right as #NXT #wwenxt is coming on. Seems to happen near enough every week.

  • georgiarec28 Georgia (@georgiarec28) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia bit annoyed at the service I’m receiving. I am trying to speak to someone about an order which is “parked” says someone will be in touch but no one has been? Can’t find an online chat and phone I give up being on hold!!!

  • hughesagoodboy Mark Hughes (@hughesagoodboy) reported from Birmingham, England

    Not only that, when speaking to a manager he has proceeded to cut me off and hang up after a 50 minute phone call. What kind of **** show are you running over there ? This is disgusting customer service! @virginmedia

  • ShazRahman30 Shajidur Rahman (@ShazRahman30) reported from Birmingham, England

    After a massive faff, I've been able get into the goose in selly oak. Has the football but no sound. Worst day of the year @virginmedia to go down. Will remember this when my contract is up.

  • Steveluckett Stephen Luckett (@Steveluckett) reported from Codsall, England

    @virginmedia do you have anyone I can physically go and see about a complaint as this has reached new levels of terrible service!?

    @virginmedia awful service yet again, no connection since Friday due to poor installation. Complaints department phoned 3 times and not dealt with. Cut off by technical support 3 times. Shocking!

  • Steveluckett Stephen Luckett (@Steveluckett) reported from Codsall, England

    Another letter from @virginmedia saying I owe them money! Looks like my 25th call to them explaining that it is a fraudulent account. LITERALLY THE WORST COMPANY IN THE WORLD!!!

  • antdwolves Ant Davies (@antdwolves) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @CliffHague @virginmedia If you have not already ring to disconnect then tell retentions you need 2nd line support. They should be in Scotland or North East and really know their stuff I have Virgin but use gmail as a preferred option Good Luck!

  • Fubz21 Fubz (@Fubz21) reported from Dudley, England

    You literally can't make this up. Working from home today and @virginmedia goes down again. Jinxed, every time I have important work to do from home the net drops. I would phone customer service but I know from past enquires they are completely useless.

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

  • Mindful_Chat Emily Davies (@Mindful_Chat) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Ok I did that a optimised then signal. So I will give that a go for now and hopefully it won’t kick me out again. I though it was the online meeting platform but it happened across multiple sites (teams, Skype etc...)

  • CallMeJim3 Call Me Jim (@CallMeJim3) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia what is wrong with your system. Three times today we have lost service. Is your infrastructure antiquated or your engineers usless.

  • cra1gs Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I’m afraid my patience has worn thin on my complaint. I have now emailed the CEO of Virgin Media.

  • debs3simmo Debs 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💙 (@debs3simmo) reported

    @virginmedia The ‘telephone agent’ would not help any further than suggest an expensive upgrade!!!Eventually speaking to his supervisor, the app was mentioned but going around the house using the📱 the signal strength is the same…no “black spot”! No further assistance.Not impressed Virgin!!

  • HannesLangolf Hannes Langolf (@HannesLangolf) reported

    @virginmedia Confusing messages, bad customer service and both times we would have charged £240 for @virginmedia not providing their service in the new area and me having to move but wanting to leave the service behind for the person living in the flat.

  • AshOnFire1989 Ashley Kerr (@AshOnFire1989) reported

    @virginmedia The issue has never been posted on the status page. I told them this when the issue was reported. though out the whole time I wouldn't know the status of it

  • HannesLangolf Hannes Langolf (@HannesLangolf) reported

    @virginmedia Your team told me I can’t transfer the account to the person staying behind. I can’t take it with me because you aren’t serving the area of my new house. So they told me I have to cancel the contract/account and have to pay £240 exit fees.

  • AshOnFire1989 Ashley Kerr (@AshOnFire1989) reported

    @virginmedia So is the issue fixed or has it been extended ? Update please..

  • AbbyFrankie Abby Frankie (@AbbyFrankie) reported

    @virginmedia 33 minutes on hold and eventually cut off!! Awful service!!

  • Rob_Garvey FlippedAcademic (@Rob_Garvey) reported from Bromley, England

    A question for @virginmedia Is it more important for an engineer to a) resolve a customer's service problem b) get to next appointment because the engineer is measured on appointments attended rather fixed? You have one unhappy customer #poorcustomerservice

  • Engelbert1969 Steve Halley (@Engelbert1969) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, I'm a customer

  • BarryPrince15 Barry Prince (@BarryPrince15) reported

    @virginmedia Today’s outage has been rectified. I use the Virgin service checker for my postcode each time and there has always been a known issue.

  • HannesLangolf Hannes Langolf (@HannesLangolf) reported

    @virginmedia The first person said “no problem, I can change the account holder” and then she just cancelled our contract charging us the £240 even though it isn’t what she said she would be doing. The next person the next day said @virginmedia doesn’t allow a change of the account name.
