    @virginmedia not even a reply = customer support 🙄

  • walshi01 Declan (@walshi01) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @virginmedia I will NOT cash the cheque and sum directed back to the account as I believe this is just a pro-rata amount due. Not compensation for lack of service or repayment of any kind

  • EJVMcLean Ed Vokes-Mclean (@EJVMcLean) reported from Farnborough, England

  • sarahgtaylor sarahgtaylor (@sarahgtaylor) reported from Hurley, England

    Virgin mobile customer service is laughable. Can only use online chat if you want to buy something. #virgin #virginmedia #customerserviceorcustomercontol

  • pamelab74027553 pamela brown (@pamelab74027553) reported from Bracknell, England

    Yaaa final bill from Talk Talk is on its way I have wasted so much money and time with this rubbish company. I had no service from them now I am back with Virgin Media I was such a Clutx to of changed, as soon as that bill comes in and I pay I will be happy😊😊😊😊

  • martinrowan Martin Rowan (@martinrowan) reported from Wokingham, England

    @dowenb @highlight If you’re using Virgin Media cable then this isn’t the same technology as the rate adaptive technology used in ADSL and VDSL, so you don’t have a sync speed to monitor. One issue you can have with Cable can be an increase in latency especially under load.

  • mecompton74 Martin Compton (@mecompton74) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Can not wait until June 10th and we get to ditch @virginmedia - another issue with our service, but their service status page on their website is down so I have no idea what the problem is... #pitiful

  • OutdoorDaveGB David Bruton (@OutdoorDaveGB) reported from Reading, England

    @AnnaCorderoy @virginmedia In my case it took about 2 months to get a reliable service restored.

  • JoshGilpin Josh Gilpin (@JoshGilpin) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Your advisor would only provide the tracking number that I was already given the other day and told me to use that to find out what’s up with it, they were about as much help as yodels customer support

  • BeckyMorrish13 Becky Morrish (@BeckyMorrish13) reported from Camberley, England

    Urgh @virginmedia are naff completely incomatant staff giving completely the wrong information and now won’t let me cancel awful service I’m now looking to @skyuk to give me a better service

  • mecompton74 Martin Compton (@mecompton74) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia pathetic... entire service cancelled for six days without any notice... for repairs! 🤣 Awful company... @richardbranson you really need to be more careful about who gets to deliver franchised services under your Brand’s name. Truly awful... again!

  • Jimbwlah James Milward (@Jimbwlah) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I don’t understand how you can get away with 10%+ yearly bill increase with no service improvement. I’ve been with you for 15 years and enough is enough, I’m switching. No other company does this - I’m speaking to the communication ombudsman, it needs investigation

  • Loddonbrewery Loddon Brewery 🏉 🌹 (@Loddonbrewery) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Not any more. There was an issue, all was meant to be fine at 6pm - but alas, here we are...

  • walshi01 Declan (@walshi01) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @virginmedia But yet, you cannot call me to discuss! I find the benefit of hiding behind a system laughable. Particularly as it is your company who cannot log complaints, log a cancellation or fix a long term problem from which you had 20+ calls over many months. I have a pic library of my tv

  • GoFastAdy Ady (@GoFastAdy) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia my Internet is down in fleet hants any idea when this will be fixed 🤔

  • BRYCECHOBE Chobe Clarke (@BRYCECHOBE) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia no internet in Woking, always poor connection when I visit. 5g disappears, slow 2g. Now nothing. Father wasting money for this service.

  • MatthewPorter89 Matthew Porter (@MatthewPorter89) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Please contact @CameronHeald as he is the sufferer of this poor poor service.

  • pepetideo Pepetideo (@pepetideo) reported from Didcot, England

    After waiting for over 1 hour to talk to a human on @virginmedia, can't help but feel like I was being trolled by the choice of background songs. One says "I could get used to this", other about being down down down... Somehow I don't think this is the best choice of mood music.

  • Raz625772 Rand (@Raz625772) reported

    @virginmedia It takes 40days? To fix an outage in central London? Surely there’s a mistake

  • StefyPendenza stefyP (@StefyPendenza) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and the issue is that the bill online is not reflecting what your CR is telling me over chat. Again we are taking about money. The government is helping family with energy bill and to me you are just trying to steal my money. I am gonna contact the authorities

  • StefyPendenza stefyP (@StefyPendenza) reported

    @virginmedia I got to customer relation in your what’s up chat. She open the chat asking to be fast cause she has to leave for hear break. @virginmedia we are taking about money here can I get a number to talk to someone as I am loosing my day over here?

  • Eva_Sanchez Eva Sanchez (@Eva_Sanchez) reported

    @virginmedia Can you cancel it for me??

  • edjl2 Ed Lewis (@edjl2) reported

    @virginmedia I spoke to your engineer on site. He said he can't fix the underlying issue and that there is unreliable infrastructure like this all over London. Not great service you might say? Are you going to do anything about it?

  • ShayStanford4 Shay Stanford (@ShayStanford4) reported

    @virginmedia hi my name is Seamus Stanford I've been having problems with our boardband for the last month or so.

  • itsadamuk ItsAdam (@itsadamuk) reported

    If one more person tells me to turn my hub on and off again or run tests, I'm going to throw the SH4 out the window and complaint to Ofcom, and refuse to pay my bill @virginmedia you are some sort of toxic.

  • edjl2 Ed Lewis (@edjl2) reported

    @virginmedia You don't need account access, you need to escalate that the SE109 area has ongoing issues. I can absolutely promise you that no one can do a thing if I call your call centre of doom on 150

  • Dechlan1997 Decky 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Dechlan1997) reported

    @virginmedia @st1llryan Help by fixing your internet crashing every hour after you do “UPDATES”

  • itsadamuk ItsAdam (@itsadamuk) reported
