    @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?

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

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

    @virginmedia why is your broadband so awful?

  • SteveA_3 Steve Arliss (@SteveA_3) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    And they expect me to be happy to wait until the 5th of december now? While still paying full price forbabaervice I cant use because they messed up @virginmedia seriously wtf!!

  • 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 😤

  • 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...

  • cybilrat Jennie O (@cybilrat) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    In these times where working at home essential @virginmedia one week before anyone can fix my internet which was fine before your maintenance

  • 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...

  • 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.

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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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!! 😡

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

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

  • SteveA_3 Steve Arliss (@SteveA_3) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    This is the exact reason I use the web chat!! To ensure conversation is saved on screenshots! So far today @virginmedia have been completely useless! Want me to pay for a service I'm not getting and they dont know when I will be able to get again

  • 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

  • LooklivelySarah Sarah-Louise Douglas (@LooklivelySarah) reported

    @virginmedia get your act together and sort out the phone lines - pointless offering customers option to cancel when you leave them on hold for hours, or better still can’t connect the call AT ALL! #useless #greedy #noservice

  • DariusAFletcher Darius A. Fletcher (@DariusAFletcher) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve tried ringing 4 times now, I waited for over 2 hours for the call to be cut off and now you’re not even accepting calls... talk about awful customer service!

  • robjimgreen Rob Green (@robjimgreen) reported

    @virginmedia All I got from the retentions department was a "Computer says no" on the £3 p/m off that the phone system originally offered – A loyal customer for ~8 years but time to go shopping around I guess...

  • Lianedreamer17 Liane (@Lianedreamer17) reported

    @virginmedia Please do not insult me with what is clearly some pre-set response copied repeatedly to any customer mentioning price changes. I think it best that we leave. How, without wasting hours more of my time, would I do that?

  • MFC_Steve Steve (@MFC_Steve) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Hi - I am trying to get into contact with you but the phone line is dead and you are not answering the message service. How can I speak to someone ?

  • jadejadejade92 ✨Jade✨ (@jadejadejade92) reported

    @virginmedia hi i’ve been trying to ring customer service but i keep getting cut off, i would like to discuss my bill please.

  • stoffelpresents Stoffel Presents (@stoffelpresents) reported

    Trying to cancel my @virginmedia services but the only number to call just hangs up as soon as the call connects

  • robdrfc4eva Rob (@robdrfc4eva) reported

    @RebeccaTwigg @virginmedia that telephone number is coming back as discontinued. Have asked the same question and waiting for an answer. Virgin know that many are going to cancel mid contract because of this above infaltion price hike

  • _AimEHart_ Amy Hart (@_AimEHart_) reported

    @virginmedia @AndyGoreing number doesn't work

  • jim_savage Jim Savage (@jim_savage) reported

    @virginmedia I chatted to a representative online about it who assured me someone would get back and even gave me an ID to quote them when they did. They never did get back.
