    Joanne Johnson (@Joanneincrosby) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia tried to contact Virgin media for days! We had no internet for last Saturday, Sunday , Tuesday in the area . You call and it will not let you contact to anyone as it’s a complex problem in the area. Anyone know a better provider I’ve totally had enough.

    @virginmedia He’s reported it, and told his manager. Why on earth would you not send someone to fix it

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

    @virginmedia No nothing - no reference number. The inconsistency of service between live chat, phone and Twitter is mad. It doesn’t feel like you’re speaking to the same company

    @virginmedia can you please confirm how long my tv will be down WA9 area, its been off for over 36 hours 😳

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

    @virginmedia Also I’ve just tried and it won’t accept the answers to the security questions - which are both ok. Can someone contact me to help me out please?

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

    @virginmedia my dad’s email address has been hacked. VM says he has to re register his email address. He’s spent nearly 3hrs on live chat today trying to fix it. He’s 86 and relies upon his email to order from home. Can you please explain to me the process to correct this issue?

  • Andy_Dunbar
    Andy Dunbar (@Andy_Dunbar) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Is that minimum 12 months subscription or can I cancel at anytime?

  • mrphilliptipton
    Phillip Tipton (@mrphilliptipton) reported from Haydock, England

    The interminable menus on the Virgin Media customer line lasted 3 minutes and 20 seconds just now, most of it being lectured on how efficient this would make my as yet unanswered call.

  • Kiefer1667
    Marc Lancaster (@Kiefer1667) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia how can we find out when you are transferring our mobile numbers to the vodafone network instead of ee?

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

    @virginmedia This takes me through to a help and support page - what do I do next?

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

    @virginmedia It’s ok I’ve managed to get around my dad’s security question - it was an issue with the lower / upper case. I’ve updated his password and his email is now receiving emails on his phone and iPad - I think we’re ok. Frustrating that the live chat sent him around in circles

  • mrmrjarrold
    Matthew Jarrold (@mrmrjarrold) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia The main thing here is that not one person who I have come into contact with in your organisation wants to take ownership of the problem and try and resolve it which is the essence of customer service. It’s a massive fail.

  • lucylou582
    Lucy (@lucylou582) reported from Chester, England

    @virginmedia so you booked an engineer to come and fix the cable, yet the engineer has just arrived and can only look at the job! What an absolute ridiculous way of working. I told you on the phone that wire had been broke, why send someone who can’t complete the job!

  • Toffeegirl13
    Ann_1878 (@Toffeegirl13) reported from Halewood, England

    @MachinegunSi @virginmedia Yeah same here Si, never had any problems but the past 12 months or so been shite

  • gbam86
    Graeme Bamber (@gbam86) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @gbam96 Yes it has been cancelled now, it was the manner it took to get there! Nearly 20 mins of asking to cancel! he had a bad attitude. Very disappointed with the customer service

  • LukeFoster89
    Lukefoster89 (@LukeFoster89) reported from Sandymoor, England

    @virginmedia Hi, what's the best way to make a complaint? I've never experienced such incompetence from a call centre in my life. Please can some one review my calls over the last few weeks.

    🌈\o/☘ (@NoLiesSpokeHere) reported

    So while everyone is complaining they can't watch Netflix etc... my elderly mum and others in the street are without phones as they don't use mobiles. This is why no-one should depend on the Internet and the fancy technology. Landlines never fail @virginmedia @BTCare

    Nicola Murphy-Lunn (@spud81) reported

    @virginmedia just spent 20 minutes on hold for an agent to answer but not speak I didn’t cut the call - they did after about 5 minutes - mustn’t want to work Saturdays so not only do I have ABYSMAL WiFi I get matched service from your agents

  • MattyJaded
    Lord MattyTyrone (@MattyJaded) reported

    @virginmedia how disgusting. Just had the phone put down on me by one of your customer service representatives. My mums bill went from £88 to £169 as the contract is due for renewal. I understand a slight increase but not double. She is registered disabled & classed as vulnerable

  • jonnyw71
    Jonny Whitehead (@jonnyw71) reported

    @virginmedia @shaunabanksxo It doesn’t actually list anything though! You just get stuck in an endless loop of “check your status”…”we can’t work it out so contact us”…”Cora can’t help other than try checking your status”…and back to the beginning again. It’s really not good enough.

  • allan_kerr
    Allan Kerr (@allan_kerr) reported

    @virginmedia my service is so poor now my Sonos system keeps needing to be re authorised and the strength used to give me 400m download and now I am lucky to get 70 and the system tells me I have intermittent connection. Crap
