  • AntSweeney Unbearable for the foreseeable 🏆 (@AntSweeney) reported from Warrington, England

    @ThirdUncle2 @virginmedia Exactly the same happened to me just, even had one of the call centre staff say I would've get a dead line when I told her I definitely will. She still transferred me down a dead line. Got told that changing provider isn't a good enough excuse to leave. Its my choice! 😡

  • philtrucker1510 Phillip (@philtrucker1510) reported from Birkenhead, England

    Your customer service is shocking @virginmedia

  • jm_donnelly James Donnelly (@jm_donnelly) reported from Birkenhead, England

    Not just me then? Twitter tells me everything I need to know @virginmedia your broadband is unreliable, has been unreliable for weeks & I feel like i’m wasting money. No this isn’t an isolated issue you just need to pull your finger out & stop ruining my evenings its 2020 ffs!

  • steveeades Steve Eades (@steveeades) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia why is my internet not working again? WA7 4RF postcode please advise.

  • AntSweeney Unbearable for the foreseeable 🏆 (@AntSweeney) reported from Warrington, England

    @ThirdUncle2 @virginmedia I probably would have given them the benefit of the doubt and stayed on when moving house but they can **** off. Hope you have better luck next time 👍

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia There’s no known issues. I shouldn’t have to spend 30 mins on hold trying to get through to you to have an issue corrected that hasn’t been done as part of my contract agreement. Shouldn’t you be able to call customers when you have an agent free who can make outgoing calls?

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I get the same result hard wired with Ethernet too. It’s not a wifi issue. Also I’m not sure how wifi would decide to ignore an increase in speed and decide to limit itself to the old speed coincidentally. Someone on your end hasn’t enabled the faster speed to my property.

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Hey @virginmedia , can we arrange you to call people back rather than sitting in a queue listening to terrible music and running up mobile bill costs?

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    Nearly a week after signing up to a new contract with @virginmedia they’ve still not upgraded my speed to what we agreed to. Their Twitter support refuses to acknowledge the issue and my complaint hasn’t been picked up yet. I guess they don’t care once a contract is agreed.

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia The text messaging team that says it aims to respond within 4 hours but hasn’t responded to me since 11am yesterday? Basically I have no option now but to sit on hold in a queue for 30+ mins to fix a problem you’ve created by not upgrading me. Your customer service is awful.

  • XCharlotteJadeX CharlotteJadeDuffy❀ (@XCharlotteJadeX) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia please can someone help me cancel my contract, I move house in a few weeks and have been trying to get through to you many different ways with no luck for over a month now, I need to sort this ASAP, thanks

  • philtrucker1510 Phillip (@philtrucker1510) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia any chance sorting out your internet issues in bromborough / Eastham it's a joke told you have sorted out the chip playing up yet loads locally still having problems

  • AntSweeney Unbearable for the foreseeable 🏆 (@AntSweeney) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia are your call centre staff ***************? Ones just been an idiot to me sounded like he couldn't be arsed while ones just sent me down a line that rings out constantly for 20 minutes. Both asked me different security questions and one flat out refused

  • torisprung Tori Sprung (@torisprung) reported from Liverpool, England

    @SkyHelpTeam We haven’t been booked in. Following some quick and informative enquiries, @virginmedia can install a new service in 3days; yet, a @SkyUK engineer can’t come out to us for over a week? When we pay a monthly small fortune, this all feels like terrible customer service

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    Need to cancel my @virginmedia contract as the price is going up but the only way to cancel is by phone, with up to an hour queue time. Brilliant.

  • RagnarokAhead Technical Issues ☭ (@RagnarokAhead) reported from Runcorn, England

    Imagine my shock that @virginmedia has absolutely shafted me yet again and gone down. Can't believe I'm paying for this, utter incompetence

  • psanders1976 paul sanders (@psanders1976) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Any chance you firm of cowboys answering the phone to your customers , absolutely disgusting customer service keeping people on hold for over an hour then cutting them off

  • HellsbellsO Helen Walsh-ONeill (@HellsbellsO) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia hi are tv and phone line are not working can you help WA8 8BS

  • AntSweeney Unbearable for the foreseeable 🏆 (@AntSweeney) reported from Warrington, England

    @ThirdUncle2 @virginmedia That's mental, the options for the departments don't make sense either. To change your package, moving home or thinking of leaving us press 4.I press 4,how can I help you, thinking of leaving you, we can't do that here we will have to transfer you to another department.**** off

  • steveeades Steve Eades (@steveeades) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia Carried out the tests and internet now working but seems slow. Also there is an error noted on the Samsung set top box?

  • LauraAnnK29 Laura King (@LauraAnnK29) reported

    @virginmedia I did run a fault test which said an engineer needed to come out. I've been to my hub home page and ran a check there - says internet no RF signal detected.

  • Ballyxx Michelle Ramsey (@Ballyxx) reported

    @virginmedia Of course we have many many times, we arnt stupid. Look we are going to @Ofcom we have the letters we have sent, your terrible reply that answered none of our points. The hours we have wasted trying to sort this is unreal

  • Ebike_holidays National Forest E-Bike Holidays (@Ebike_holidays) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia We followed instructions to switch phones to fibre optic. Can dial out but can’t get calls. It’s really upset my mother in law as she is vulnerable and we are her emergency support. Our mobile signal is very poor at home, so she is frightened she can’t contact us.

  • ____Graham_ Graham (@____Graham_) reported

    @virginmedia I’m 39 mins invested. After a baffling need to clarify my details with a bot after I had already signed in. Can you shove a cattle **** up the chat dept rather than me start again because of your poor service?

  • HJMKent Howard Martin 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HJMKent) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t know - I've tried to establish why it's been left off my bill, no one can tell me? But I contacted Netflix, they said if they didn't receive my payment, my service would be disconnected! That's what I'm trying to avoid! I wasn't given your number so I could contact you!

  • yoksnod Don Skoy 🐈‍⬛️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🐾 (@yoksnod) reported

    @virginmedia Can someone please get in touch via a DM? I just called yourselves regarding a few concerns and wasn't entirely happy with the response/resolution. Thanks.

  • KeithBr89743464 Keith Brown (@KeithBr89743464) reported

    @BeanBolt @virginmedia Had no issues with bt, and when I have had issues great help and had someone very quick to help. I’m getting 900mb and over 100 upload with them

  • Ebike_holidays National Forest E-Bike Holidays (@Ebike_holidays) reported

    @virginmedia I have rung Virgin 3 times. Every time I have to go through exactly the same explanation and am told you will escalate and come back within 24 hours. You never come back. I first called Friday. We have no idea when this will be resolved and what to tell my mother in law.

  • Ballyxx Michelle Ramsey (@Ballyxx) reported

    @virginmedia Not really much point trying to get you guys to help to be fair, this has been ongoing since July and we are still no further forward. Worst WiFi I have ever had and you are stealing money and not paying it back, absolute worst company I have had the displeasure to deal with 🤬

  • RahRah0405 Rachel Murphy (@RahRah0405) reported

    @virginmedia What we require now is a new account in my husband's name at our new address. We need a new box and a new customer deal and contract.
