    @virginmedia @O2 Its definitely you lot Robin as your broadband service was a disgrace when I moved to you and I had to pay out for cancelling contract early. If this is what’s to come O2 then you will a customer of over 15 years.

    @virginmedia I hung up the call, rang back and spoke with a lovely man. Reset my email, password and answered all my quedtions. All the men are when you call, the female was awful. But thank you for the response

  • andyksheffield
    Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @StueyDay @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk The service is awful and customers find it too hard to get a prompt response. Last time this happened it took at least 8-10 emails before they got past the automated letter asking me to switch off, reboot and check all the connections.

  • DeborahTaylor3
    Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia what's the issue with answering a call? Line went dead, my mum can't receive incoming texts and is due an upgrade. Your customer service is terrible, God only knows what will happen when I call for TV

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

    @virginmedia I had Virgin broadband installed yesterday but need a landline . Unable to get through to customer services. Should have been set up with the broadband . Engineer said I was miss sold the standalone package . Now I’m without a phone.

    Recently renegotiated my contract with @virginmedia just received notification that they are billing me for 50% more than was agreed. Called them and they cannot explain why, and have registered my complaint and someone will call me at some point in the next 48 hours. Scandalous

  • 67BLADE
    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

    @virginmedia ok, what’s the issue with bbc iPlayer sometimes it wants to play sometimes I have to retry many times. Sometimes if I log in I have to wait 2 mins for it to then work. It’s not consistent and very very annoying

  • Bhavinmaru2020

    @virginmedia why is my internet down in the morning this is the 3rd day in a row! I have checked status every day keeps saying intermittent loss!

  • mademetoxic

    @virginmedia Yes no problem

  • dobbin1957
    Dobbin1957 (@dobbin1957) reported

    @waughzone @virginmedia Agreed. Our broadband, TV, and landline has been off for 36 hours and won’t be back for another 24!! Chirpy but infrequent and meaningless communication from Virgin to tell me how hard they are trying to fix the problem whilst continually delaying the time it will be fixed.

    How virgin media buyers become Chad scalers > Change budgets every single day > Tinker with the ad account when everyone says set it and forget it > Obsess over account structure > Find the winning campaigns and double the budget > Wait 3-4 days, and if it holds, double it again > Watch the virgin media buyer win > Get called a virgin media buyer for it > Keep changing budgets every day anyway > Keep doubling winners and killing nothing on a single bad day > Watch the virgin media buyer win again

    @liamgallagher Bloody Virgin Media packed up at 4.30. Had family coming over. Said it wouldn’t be back until midnight. Can you believe it. Watched on daughter’s phone 4G. Buffing and 6 mins behind. Poor for virgin media.
