    @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?

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve been told this before… yet it never happened when my bill was generated. Let’s see eh..

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

    @virginmedia can someone help me please? I’m about to lose my ****. Never ever known anything like this company. Now telling me lies on WhatsApp. Saying i logged an issue weeks after engineers had already been out to find the fault. Refusing compensation after 4 mths no service.

  • 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?

    @virginmedia fix ur awful service!!!!

  • TimmyJ1972
    Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia To be honest, the issue is an intermittent fault. My wife works from home and the broadband just drops out numerous times a day. Then comes back on. It’s only worthwhile doing a remote test if it’s when it drops out. Otherwise all will look fine

  • EmmaZhaan64
    Emma (@EmmaZhaan64) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia according to your representative my wifi is working perfectly and I don’t have any issues! That’s a bit odd considering I no service what so ever!

    @virginmedia your customer service team is proper shite. Your router is in the bin outside ours

  • SmithysMaud

    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. 🦄

  • AckerHeron
    Tony (@AckerHeron) reported from Liverpool, England

    Hi @virginmedia, my dear old mum has been on the phone for 20 minutes because her broadband has gone down. Your advisors keep saying to reset the hub and disconnecting before it's sorted. Any ideas? Still using the crap one you sent years ago despite her recontracting

    @virginmedia In this room have always had problems but just not like today. The router is just over 2 metres from box.

  • SmithysMaud

    @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

    @virginmedia @Trebor0501 It's absolute rubbish this stupid new box, it deletes your shows by mistake, error code keeps coming up while trying to record, and when you ring up you get someone from India who wants to know the ins and outs of Jacks arse, Grrrrr.

  • BFrog86370

    @virginmedia I have to say your customer service is absolutely pathetic and one of the worst I’ve ever had the misfortune to have to deal with. Almost 2 weeks since installation and it’s still not all working

  • Rael571
    Råêl (@Rael571) reported

    @SisterWalburga I can see it from the biog. link - but I’m an EE customer rather than Sky or Virgin Media, so maybe it doesn’t count for the purpose of the question…

  • RobElliot266
    Robert Elliot (@RobElliot266) reported

    @virginmedia a more than 24 hour outage to TV & Broadband in TW2? Taking at least 7 hours to get an engineer onsite? Not very impressive.

  • darrenhayes1973
    Darren Hayes (@darrenhayes1973) reported

    @virginmedia Disgrace of a company never been spoken to as rudely as I have been tonight by one of the call centres based oversees. 20 calls in less than 7 days and then rude to me because he did not get the answers he wanted!! Sort it out!!

  • DeraCalla
    dera calla (@DeraCalla) reported

    @SarahLudford @virginmedia @O2 Agreed. Customer service now so often means hours and hours trying to contact people, and going round in circles for days and weeks. Why can't we just call and speak to someone?!

  • coomerdarren
    Darren Coomer (@coomerdarren) reported

    @virginmedia Why ? I've resolved the issue I had myself O2 have been absolutely useless & now you want to help please don't reply to this.

  • whisky_duck
    Danny Whisky (@whisky_duck) reported

    @virginmedia I’m currently without broadband in the KT8 area. Status page is showing an issue but with a fix date of 22nd. This can’t be true. I’m a remote worker and unable to do my job without connectivity.

  • SerenitySoloDev
    Serenity Solo Studios (@SerenitySoloDev) reported

    Virgin Media may have the best broadband speeds for me, but lying salesmen and Virgins policies really has me thinking about cancelling during this cooldown period. I was told 1000mbps was the maximum speed here. I found out it was 2000mbps. I tried to change as I was unaware of this at the time, due to what the saleman told me, but they wanted to charge me £88 per month or so for the 2gb package when the 1gb only costs £33 per month. Even though the website says £55 per month for the 2gb package. I then asked about the upload spped matching the download speed. At first, I was told this was a different package, not an addon, so it would cost £88 per month in total. What? I then threatened to leave and rejoin with a new package as I was in the cooling off period. I was then told this was an addon for £6 per month. They can't change anything on my package though apparently. It now has to be sent to another team to check through this and I have to wait 5-10 days. This is the most confusing company I have ever dealt with. When joining Sky, I could change my package at any time and still be given the in contract discount. Sky may have slower speeds, but @Virgin have to have to the worst policies that kind of makes me regret changing over. If they say I still have to pay almost triple the cost, I may just take the loss of the broadband speed and move back over to Sky. Virgin are trying to rip me off as their sales representative who came to the door and sold me the package never gave the full information to me and said 1gb was their highest package they had for my area.
