    @virginmedia Thanks I’m currently doing this now. So on the ‘phone once again for around an hour and been passed over and back and STILL no outcome a d still holding. Just waiting for the line to go dead as previous. When does a customer give up and just leave this shower for good?!?!?! 🤬🤬

    @virginmedia OK guys, could you ask your team behind the scenes to turn my BB signal up just a tad, you know, enough so it actually works? As your putting your prices up would be great to experience what I'm actually paying for now! Thanks

    @virginmedia truly awful company stuck in the dark ages why would you trust them with broadband when after 3 months notice to quit they take full payment and then you have to apply for a refund !!! Company run by dinosaurs looking for opportunities to rip you off when leaving !

    @virginmedia really difficult to get connected with an agent and some decent support, been trying to reach for days, just get Bots! @richardbranson

    @virginmedia There is no problem in my area. My problem is specific to my account.

  • RNeacsu
    Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Internet keeps disconnecting. Called, useless as always. Intermittent issues or connectivity issues. Just send an engineer to check, why wait for another 24h when this is an ongoing issue. I've even reset the hub, still same issues.

  • Rochdale_Cowboy
    Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Took out an @O2 account as part of some 'volt' deal with @virginmedia. My god O2 are bad. Apparently you have to wait a few months to access your account online to wait until their systems "catch up" for new joiners. Shouldn't have bothered.

    Sharon Leaver (@leaver_sharon) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Sorted now. Received an envelope last week with an adaptor. A leaflet inside stated we would receive an email when to change it. No such email received. Communication very poor

    @monstroso @virginmedia A problem we all have.

    @virginmedia They say it's company policy and as it's with IT they can no longer help! 1 week and no further forward.

    Trying to cancel our Virgin Broadband what a nightmare. On hold for 90 mins still no one answers from the cancellation department. #virginmedia @virginmedia

  • robmcewan1966
    Rob McEwan (@robmcewan1966) reported from Finchampstead, England

    @virginmedia Truly astounding. I have spent hours trying to get virgin to actually carry out promises made and we’re still not there. I’ll swear the customer services reps I speak to are under so much pressure to move on to the next call they make it up as they go.

  • Rochdale_Cowboy
    Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia I don't know. You never answer the phone when I call you.

  • arintsie
    A Rintsie (@arintsie) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @virginmedia Phone call received this afternoon from your service centre but not about the complaint / when I asked about it they cut me off / email received from Resolution Team this afternoon telling me to ring your service line and have not read the complaint / total joke C-180123113

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Done that. Multiple times. And over the last 6 months. And when I was an ntl: customer. And CableTel before that. 27 years of 56k > 350Mb and now it’s totally doing my head in. Unable to work from home properly. Boss won’t be happy!

  • CRJG_
    Cameron🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@CRJG_) reported from Bracknell, England

    Huge congrats to @virginmedia for having a web chat service that is so bad that I joined the chat to upgrade my broadband, but after waiting for an eternity for replies I’m pretty much ready to just close my account

  • arintsie
    A Rintsie (@arintsie) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @virginmedia You keep cutting me off when I call ! / just email the complaint number to a member of your UK team and ask them to call me, really not that hard

  • PhilStace20
    Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia It about moving house. As Virgin is unavailable at the new residence and the move is only temporary I was told in two separate calls that I could ‘freeze’ my account and now it’s come to it it seems that I have to keep paying whilst not receiving any service or buy myself out!

  • ABennell4709
    Alex Bennell (@ABennell4709) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia broadband issues in RG10? Please could you look into ASAP? I have no connectivity at all. Thanks

  • a3racer
    Chris C (@a3racer) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia is there a fix time for the Virgin TV issue in the GU21 area? It’s been down now for over 24 hours! Will my account be credited with money that I have paid for no service?

    andrew willett (@willywillett) reported

    @MrBenGrant @virginmedia They are absolutely awful, after we've recently had issues i rang and arranged for an engineer to come out, guess what? They never showed up! Not even a message to say sorry or a call to apologise for the inconvenience of waiting in..😡

  • TamieOfficial
    Iraq Lobster 🦞 (@TamieOfficial) reported

    @virginmedia Yes obviously I have. So ridiculous. You even have the cheek to text that the services have been restored when they haven’t. Can’t work & can’t use o2 either because reception is non existent especially since you merged your terrible services.

  • _mclewis
    𝕄𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕒 𝕃𝕖𝕨𝕚𝕤 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@_mclewis) reported

    @virginmedia Can you please issue an update on your interrupted services (TV and broadband) in the SA6 area please. They have been down since yesterday and the ETA is 1am tomorrow!!! It's half term and no update has been given to anyone!

  • Louiseboxall
    Louise Boxall (@Louiseboxall) reported

    @virginmedia Any idea when?? It’s been over a week and there was an outage recently which they “fixed” but the virgin hasn’t worked since this!! M43 area.

  • RachaelCassidy3
    Rachael Cassidy (@RachaelCassidy3) reported

    @virginmedia been trying to talk to someone after our TV. Internet and phone has gone off about an hour ago !!! Can someone help !

  • MrBenGrant
    Ben Grant (@MrBenGrant) reported

    @willywillett @virginmedia Had a similar issue with an engineer, they booked an appointment for 4-7pm on a Saturday and it turned out they engineers stop at 5. So the engineer wasn’t able to get to me. They came a few days later and said they would never come after 5 on a Saturday

  • tpembe1
    Troy Pemberton (@tpembe1) reported

    @virginmedia intermittent signal in KT20 area for sometime now. I have tried to call your customer service (aka avoidance) team and as usual - nobody picks up!

  • neilstitfer
    Neilio 🇬🇧 (@neilstitfer) reported

    Further update. @virginmedia have closed my complaint about how they have handled this, despite the complaint being still ongoing and the false charge still applied to the account. I honestly couldn't work for a company that actively hates it's customers and wants them to suffer

    @virginmedia so any news on a broadband fix for SA1? Approaching 9 hours now of no internet or tv
