    @virginmedia Useless you haven't addressed my points. I will go directly to the managing director Lutz Schueler. Really disappointed and I woukd have expected better considering I have been a loyal customer.

    Mark Bell (@67BLADE) reported from Chesterfield, England

    @virginmedia I have tried that text service for the last two days. ‘Terri BOT’ is no use. I need to speak to a real person . All that needs doing is the issue of a new bill without the £35 activation fee. This is becoming the worst decision I’ve ever made in relation to switching broadband

  • Callum_SEND
    Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate you trying to help. The issue is with the virgin contract being 18 months and the "new" o2 deal being 24 months and how this would impact as I looked to renegotiate in 18 months

  • maddyarden
    Prof Maddy Arden (@maddyarden) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia our broadband down without warning and service update says you hope to fix this by 5th April! Why so long? We rely on this for work - unacceptable

  • 67BLADE
    Mark Bell (@67BLADE) reported from Barlborough, England

    @virginmedia I finally got through to a real person via text today and booked a landline appointment, although It’s not the anytime plan that I wanted . Never had so much trouble switching provider. Almost not worth it.

    @virginmedia why is the red button on sky sports football not working no option to watch the live games ?? Poor service

    @DysphasiaPV @virginmedia Product is good but customer service terrible

  • Helen_Claire71
    Helen-Claire Stone (@Helen_Claire71) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia’s customer service is appalling. 3 hours to respond to a message has to be the benchmark for worst practice. Last weekend it took them 27 hours to sort out cancelling my account. Absolutely hopeless.

    @virginmedia for the past 24 hours I have been asking if there is an issue in my area ( BH21 ) I have explained multiple times I cannot use the service checker ( no wifi )Why will you not answer my question? I have sent several DMs at your request, but you have not responded?

  • mec337
    mec337 (@mec337) reported

    @virginmedia I’m busy composing an email for ofcom about how I’m forced to pay for a phone service to be able to have a package that’s overpriced. Yet when I actually want to use it, it’s broken- repeatedly. Then forced to go through stupid phone menus and wait >30 mins

  • MrBenGrant
    Ben Grant (@MrBenGrant) reported

    @willywillett @virginmedia Had a similar issue with an engineer, they booked an appointment for 4-7pm on a Saturday and it turned out they engineers stop at 5. So the engineer wasn’t able to get to me. They came a few days later and said they would never come after 5 on a Saturday

    @virginmedia Failure to keep promises and agreements made to resolve issues. Wrong phone number, no Netflix and a request to return equipment I'm still paying for.

  • Toodice
    Toodice (@Toodice) reported

    @virginmedia Our broadband, TV, and telephone have all been down since 7PM yesterday. You keep pushing the fix time forward - now apparently 10AM tomorrow. How many more times are you going to push the time forward? It's absolutely ruined the weekend.
