    @virginmedia I was also promised a call back from a manager within 24 hours on a phone call on Friday afternoon. I did not receive this phone call. This is absolutely disgusting and I expect something to be done. I rely on your service for my income as I work from home. (2/3)

    @stetopping Remember you did the piece late last year about Virgin Media Broadband being out for a day? It's now been down for six days in some parts of Manchester. Six full days and not a word from the company except automated messages.

  • johnsonhomes2
    johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia If that was the only issue than yes that would be the logical next step. But as you’ll see from the previous tweets and email sent on Wednesday it isn’t. All the issues need dealing with in the round or otherwise I’ll have to cancel and go back to sky.

    @virginmedia As I say. I don't like publicly shaming a company that was once good. But your customer service is an absolute disgrace

    @bazza141 @virginhelp @virginmedia Join the club. I spent over 1hr 30 mins trying to get a issue resolved . I kept getting through to their over-seas call centres . It took almost 20 call re-tries to get through to a young lady over in Newcastle 😳😞. It's rediculous that they got call centres in 17 countries.

    @virginmedia Oh, my bad. Apparently the wiring outside my house has a fault, someone did come last Monday to work on it,and someone was supposed to work on it for Thursday, but it keeps being pushed back (order ref 55230469).

  • mark001282
    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Don't give me your copy and pasted waffle. You have done nothing to help. You have been an absolute thorn in my side! "I'm so sorry you feel this way" is such an outdated and terrible response from a marketing point of view btw.

  • mark001282
    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I've been a customer for 10 years. Is this how your treat your loyal customers?

  • ClaireabelleRed
    CLAIRE GROVER 🐝 (@ClaireabelleRed) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for updating I've had my 82 year old dad on the phone as he only has the main tv channels so I guess its the same issue as the pixalation issues. I'll let him know

  • mark001282
    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia you have caused me nothing but hassle for months now. Your customer service team are completely useless.

    Dave (@bigdave22003388) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia im guessing technical support ain’t working ? Got no tv and can’t get any help

  • ChrisFoxRacing
    Christopher Fox (@ChrisFoxRacing) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Already reported the broadband issues, and it's an issue where estimated fix times keep getting pushed back. With regards to mobile issues, this has been around the same length of time. The only way I've been able to get any connection at all is by switching to 3G

  • birdflu_7
    officially Gaynor Austin 💙 (@birdflu_7) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia If you want I can send pictures and ALL THE emails .I don't have the time to keep discussing the same situation with yet another virgin media support staff . My time is precious.

    Anyone available at @virginmedia please? Your website is shocking for trying to get in touch with customer services / live chat. Thanks

  • NeilAshtonActor
    Neil Ashton (@NeilAshtonActor) reported from Stockport, England

    @jimmyoates @virginmedia Same James. Same area and it’s not been working for an hour. It says on their website no issues in the area but not had any service.

  • PaulRegent1
    Paul Regent (@PaulRegent1) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia no internet available in Bolton - must be an outage as, although coverage is very poor, it isn’t usually this poor!!

  • Samuel_J_Mc
    Sam (@Samuel_J_Mc) reported from Timperley, England

    @virginmedia customer service is so ****. They just transfer you round to different departments

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia See thread above, nothing changes except the time of the estimated fix. It must be very localised as not everyone in my area is affected. So if it is damaged cables, I haven’t seen anyone out repairing them over the weekend, it’s a joke

  • _AdamGardiner
    Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia It works intermittently. When I speak to an advisor they fix the issue at that moment. Then, the next day it’ll cut out again and the process repeats. It was working when the engineer left, but it didn’t last 24 hours. Intermittent isn’t good enough. I rely on you for work.

    @marypaul32 @virginmedia Every organisation appears to be incompetent. Its on such a grand scale now that it seems deliberate because such things do stress the human bodi. We got hold of Asda mobile and thei said it could take 2 days to fix but it's on now. I am way behind with stuff though. 8wks ombdsma

    @Lulette5772 @virginmedia Very bad @virginmedia The opposite of customer centric (customer abusive ?)

  • graeme1878
    Graeme (@graeme1878) reported

    @virginmedia are you willing to just let a customer of 9 years go so easily like that or was it half arsed by your staff member that all he could do was the most basic and not even try and get my partner to stay with yourselves.

  • marypaul32
    mary32 (@marypaul32) reported

    @nightsong53 We're still waiting for @virginmedia to come fix our broadband. My husband was so infuriated by the call centre staff I had to take over. We have raised formal complaint but of course not heard from them.

  • fpl_goldenboys
    FPL Hornet (@fpl_goldenboys) reported

    @virginmedia Down every day this week, utter crap

  • PGriffinFC
    Paul Griffin (@PGriffinFC) reported

    Watched the awful England game on Virgin Media. Judging by my timeline, the commentary of Sam Matterface and Lee Dixon was a lot worse. They're getting a right pile on. RTE's punditry is terrible for the WC. No choice elsewhere. I have never seen analysis so bad.

  • arvey86
    CJH1883 (@arvey86) reported

    @virginmedia are crooks, taking advantage of a vulnerable person. Sold a product never set up as no engineer arrived after numerous requests. Calling to try and bully them into a paying for a service they cancelled that was not fit for purpose, disgusting scum.

  • MakelyStudio
    Ali@Makely (@MakelyStudio) reported

    10 years. 50M+ users. £11M+ revenue impact. Mercedes. Citibank. Sky. Virgin Media. NatWest. I spent a decade fixing conversion problems at some of the world's most recognised brands. what I learned: the same broken patterns show up everywhere - onboarding that loses people in the first 60 seconds, pricing pages that confuse instead of convert, signup flows with friction nobody ever fixed. Now I build the same systems for funded startups.
