    @virginmedia I tell them to ring 999 or 0151 709 6010 if they want to report a crime. They hang up but they sound South Asian and their English is poor. I worry about other oaps being conned. Good luck chasing them.

  • MarkLangshaw
    Mark Langshaw (@MarkLangshaw) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Was Thursday or Friday but you never call me back when you say you will, so I'm not confident it will be completed unless I keep chasing it up.

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

    @virginmedia are an absolute joke. Was told to call back at half 6 and guess what? They’re shut! And again, no engineer visit. Getting cancelled 1st thing in the morning. Over a month of total loss of service, piss take. #avoid

  • AndyMcK1982

    @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?

  • Carpo_vp

    Ah another day of piss poor service from @virginmedia 0 Internet connection since 6am.... Thanks Branson 😒

  • 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?

  • MarkLangshaw
    Mark Langshaw (@MarkLangshaw) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Hello, my broadband was supposed to be installed on 6th Sept but your engineer only did half a job and ****** off. When I call up to find out when you're coming back to finish my installation, I can't get a straight answer and nobody calls me back! Shite service!

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

    @virginmedia ..i don't know what manager in any way of life won't speak to a customer! I called back and spoke to another member of the team, who has logged it as a complaint, a manager is calling me today and he is looking what he can do for a 93 year old. Being forced to pay £105 a month...

  • elisabethhilto4
    Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England

    @virginmedia Trying to make a complaint - signed up to a deal I clearly asked not to be. Your website doesn’t work and can’t get through on the phone. Can someone please dm me with a way to speak to someone urgently

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

    @virginmedia No, they just left. Rang your customer service they are now telling me the problem is internal. I’ve had no internet since July, no tv since August. It’s beyond a joke now. 5 visits I’ve had.

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

    @virginmedia 38 days after the repull should’ve been done? You think that’s good customer service?

  • DaveMbootlebuck
    DM 🦌 (@DaveMbootlebuck) reported from Litherland, England

    @virginmedia Mine has just gone down now. I can’t ring via the virgin phone because the phone is connected to the hub.

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Okay, but with respect, the problem is your call centre say different stuff every time, which inevitably bears no resemblance to reality. Later, VM deny those conversations ever took place and there is no written evidence to back up what was agreed. That's what I am after here?

  • GlynnParry1974
    Glynn Parry (@GlynnParry1974) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @YODELhell @AndyJ78 Worst delivery company going!!! Why don’t the companies that use them do a bit of research? GREED!!!!

    Paul Matthews (@Pmatthews123) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and told the same as it’s all in 1 package I can’t cancel Tv part and keep the BB until sky sort it out which is after my end date and therefore I will be charged inflated price- all I want is to cancel TV and until switch happens keep the BB surely VM can do this

    @virginmedia Hi, Are there some ongoing issues in the HA7 area? We seem be having internet issues over the last few weeks with no internet. Thank you

    Irvine sparrow (@IrvineSparrow) reported

    @virginmedia so I’m trying to cancel my contract and I’m speaking to Soyinka Sheffield but their English is so bad I can hardly understand them. Apparently she is the only person that can deal with me. Thank god I’m leaving ( well I hope I am ) !!

    Aidan Costello (@aidan_codtello) reported

    @entrustTMF @virginmedia Whereabouts are you out of interest? My daughter is working from home today at our house and says Virgin broadband has packed up. I'm in hospital for a few days so out of touch but wondering if problems are localised or nationwide. Thanks!

  • rabtaylor1981
    Robert Taylor (@rabtaylor1981) reported

    @virginmedia any idea why it has to be so difficult to actually speak to anyone? Both TV boxes no longer work right, received an email saying a new box was coming but only got a remote for a box I don't even have! Can anyone help??

  • rabtaylor1981
    Robert Taylor (@rabtaylor1981) reported

    @virginmedia Just fyi, 2 days of back and forth on DMs now, waiting hours for replies, and still nowhere! 2 more days paying for a service that doesn't work and I can't and don't use!

    @virginmedia Your service has been erratic to say the least over the last few weeks and it's down again. Postcode is W12 in London. Really not good enough.
