    Day 42 of no service from @virginmedia. Engineer meant to be coming again today, think I’ve more chance of a unicorn showing up to be fair. 🦄

  • AndyMcK1982
    Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp We have just signed up for a broadband/phone package. We were recommended by a friend. They never gave us a code though as they are a pensioner. We were told to simply give her details in but the operative would not accept. Can we still get a code after?

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Yes I did! Look at the last screen shot, that page was down as well with an error message. Useless copy and paste replys. Not helpful atall

  • Gary_Kilroy
    Gary Kilroy (@Gary_Kilroy) reported from Liverpool, England

    Having the choice of the awful customer service of @virginmedia or the @bt_uk network which in my area might as well be two tin cans tied together with string is great!

  • NatashaVic
    Capitã Nat (@NatashaVic) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Can I speak to a human, please? It’s impossible to speak to anyone here. I paid for my bill via bank transfer more than a week ago and it hasn’t been registered. Phone service is not recognising my password and I can’t find a live chat.

  • ChrisWAzure
    Chris Wright (@ChrisWAzure) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia The guy was the most arrogant person I've ever spoke to in CS, retentions is meant to be the end of the line, if it was my service and not my wife's 93 year old nan i'd have cancelled the contract. I asked to speak to a manager and was told "managers don't speak to customers"....

  • alandean1878
    Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia The nightmare continues!!! Buffering is now a way of life for us. As is watching any programme on a streaming service in short two minute bites!

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia They’ve been today apparently to do the repull and nothing has changed. Still no service. I won’t be paying this month as I’m not paying for nothing.

  • lfc_shirts
    hazzalad (@lfc_shirts) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia any help?

  • RayWaring
    Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Sorry I really don’t get it. A few hours ago I was told that your team would investigate etc. Now you’re telling you don’t have any access so I’m left to hang on with no one from VM being able to update me. Is that it?

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia 3 x engineer visits, each time telling me there’s a blockage. Why does nobody fix it? I can’t even get through to cancel my services and get a refund for the direct debits I’ve paid when I’ve had zero service.

    @Benleo @virginmedia I think #Vodafone takes some beating in the crap call centre department, but I feel your pain

  • AndrewPittman2
    Andrew Pittman (@AndrewPittman2) reported

    Ok @virginmedia, I’ve had enough. We’ve been without our TV for 6 days following the outage last week. We have been given several promises for dates that the issue will be fixed - hasn’t happened. I was promised an update by phone this morning - hasn’t happened. 30 year customer!

    @virginmedia @Benleo Said they'd send a new box due to fault. Never arrived. Couldn't find a trace of the call! Then said expect an engineer call that never happened. Don't take out contracts with them!!

    @Benleo @virginmedia Perhaps it you being a **** whiney customer thats the issue??

  • CFCCath
    CFC Cathy (@CFCCath) reported

    Been a customer for 20 years and intermittent signal for last 48 hours on @virginmedia and prices going up By 25%. Time for us to part our ways methinks …

  • tkly57
    Ted (@tkly57) reported

    @virginmedia I have had no TV since Thursday morning. Every year your prices go up above the rate of inflation and the is NO improvement in service. I have no reason to stay with Virgin Media.

  • Merse2506
    John Mercer (@Merse2506) reported

    @virginmedia For ovr 1 week I have not had Netflix after my transfer. As the biggest Kylie fan if I miss it I will cancel my subscription to Virgin Media

  • ACforReformUK
    AndyC (@ACforReformUK) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia This "quality" service is endemic in the UK these days, there's no accountability, if you got £50 for every aborted attempt, you can bet they'd get it done 1st time every time. OFCOM should punish these firms with huge fines and bring in accountability, otherwise this will just go on.

    @Benleo @SteveMartin_TM @virginmedia That call centre is the worst.5 calls, online chat. Got it wrong every time. Bangalore rubbish
