    @virginmedia @virginmedia @O2 if you're going to sell merged packages to your customers then you really need to improve your joint customer service.. just batting me back to the other without an answer is simply unacceptable

  • 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

  • John_murphy1
    John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No problem, and thank you for sorting it out quickly. May be worth making sure telephone staff tell customers about call out charges as I had no idea they applied in this situation.

  • olibrown77
    Oli B (@olibrown77) reported from Sheffield, England

    @pauldevine1986 @virginmedia We are still down in S7. Nearly 24 hours now. Saying 2pm is the updated fix time. But that keeps getting pushed back 🙄😡

  • John_murphy1
    John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had that email. I’ve also had another email this morning saying they’re sorry to hear I’m unhappy with my broadband speed. I’m not! I’m unhappy with a call out charge being applied, which was promised to be reversed and never has been!

  • pidgpie

  • 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

    @funkyphil @virginmedia Seems to be a recurring theme in all the tweets I've read, there's clearly an issue as I'm constantly dropping packets out of the blue or having MS spikes in excess of 7000, yet no information from Virgin as to any form service issues, been the same for about 4 days now.

  • MFreshers1
    Freshers (@MFreshers1) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, after 16hrs someone told me that the issue should be sorted by 1500hrs today. It isn't. I can't be bothered to sit on another 16hr chat to try and sort it, if you want to speak to me I'm happy for you to dm me, I won't hold my breath.

    vaughanME (@noiremmanuel) reported

    @virginmedia Nope… nothing!! This only started when I upgraded to 1gb fibre. This cannot be this bad… I mean I have problems but for the second day running I have been on hold for over 30 mins!!

    @virginmedia It’s a virgin media router, she has cancelled her account now. Trying to scam people into additional costs on their bill when they don’t need it is a shocking way to treat your customers

    @virginmedia Hi I rang up about a change of address earlier this week, and your service is getting switched on in my new address tomorrow, just wanted to make sure everything is ok
