    @virginmedia is there an outage in Woking? No WiFi at all for 2 hours so far. 😫😫🤬

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

    Useless service from @virginmedia called 2 discuss package options on hold for ages the agent says he was trying to help them puts me on hold then put the phone down. If their customer service is like that I think I’ll try give someone else a go @skytv can you do better?

  • 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.

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @MoneySavingExp How about they just deliver consistent service? I am leaving Virginmedia and they are making it hard, there rules state if I don’t get the speeds promised they I can leave without penalties, I’ve had 7 times where I have connection in the last 3 days! @virginmedia @richardbranson

  • mattrose18 Matt Rose (@mattrose18) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Wired and yes. Seems to have stabilised for the time being. Hopefully no more issues

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia My cancellation date is already set 11th Nov 2022, as I have to give 30 days notice. You lost my business yesterday after one of your CS decided to try and change my package to make it cheaper thinking that would sort problem, he wasn’t listening to complaint!

  • mattrose18 Matt Rose (@mattrose18) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia TV is an issue. broadband is not. Tests are always either cannot connect at this time or say there is nothing wrong. Don’t see how my kit in the house can one minute have speeds on +300Mb to next to nothing?

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have on multiple occasions, I have just been taking to engineer who running the 30 day test, while taking to him I had 3 lost connection issues. Your employees are trying say that I will have to pay to leave my contract, @Ofcom state, I can leave without penalty

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

    @virginmedia I am sorry but twice in 45 mins they cut me off as they did not know how to resolve the issue / easy way out

  • andburd Andrew Burdett (@andburd) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I’ve spent more than an hour on the phone to your advisors this morning and am getting nowhere. I have therefore now decided I would like to cancel my contract (I am within cooling-off period). Would I still be considered a ‘new’ customer if I find a new deal?

  • MikeBiscoe1 Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    @GiganetUK @virginmedia 13:25. Down again…

  • 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

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia Sadly I am not, as I have never any compensation for the lost of my connection, I lost Wi-Fi for about hour yesterday but as normal virgin media are not up holding its guarantee. I an@self-employed and the one thing I rely on is my internet connection.

  • leaver_sharon 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

  • woodyturts Alex Turton (@woodyturts) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia service down in GU14?

  • TheBadgerG Thom Gibbons (@TheBadgerG) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Yes, zero issues in area for broadband, pulled apart and reset the router numerous times. It just keeps wanting to download new settings, works for a bit and then fails. Engineer now booked for next Wednesday which is an eternity running my business from home.

  • 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

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia No resolution has been offered by @virginmedia hence I have no cancelled my contract.

  • TimSBourne Tim Bourne (@TimSBourne) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia I'm sick of explaining this again & again - see previous tweets & msgs to VM. It isn't even noted - yesterday 2nd line support looked at my ticket & said I'm "not receiving any emails" NO NO NO! Just emails with etickets attached, even tho get non ticket emails from same sources

  • 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

    @virginmedia how am i supposed to discuss cancelling a contract in the timescale given if you don't answer a phone or respond to online chat facility? You increase charges but customer service is poor. Please have enough courtesy to respond on here at least.

  • henryl622 Henrylloyd (@henryl622) reported

    @virginmedia I have gotten through just haven’t been helpful issue is still not resolved and I have had 2 customer service agents hang up

  • karlpharris1985 Karl Harris (@karlpharris1985) reported

  • oui_rose Rouse. (@oui_rose) reported

    @kate_driver @virginmedia Join the club! @virginmedia has no customer service. Terrible experience! Soooo bad I can't believe it!

  • Fiona_MacPhail Fiona McCormack (@Fiona_MacPhail) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely appalling treatment of my 82 year old mother when she cancelled her account. Taking money out of her bank account for equipment when it was you cancelled picking it up and still demanding more money for a service which she hasn’t been receiving.

  • griffdavid david griffiths (@griffdavid) reported

    @virginmedia This is not about faults, this about the unstable broadband. I just want to leave now.

  • gwilliams886 gwilliams886 (@gwilliams886) reported

    @virginmedia it says the hub has power but isnt picking up the broadband same i had which ended in faulty hub. shes tried everything and was told they are looking to fix the problem

  • Iacobus35 Ines Lopes (@Iacobus35) reported from Plymouth, England

    @virginmedia isn't the costumer fault you don't up date the list of shops do that service. You guys are very complicated. Really are. Keep it simple.

  • Joe_Napier Joe Napier (@Joe_Napier) reported

    @virginmedia Your customer service desk really are useless. Contract hasn’t even started yet and you’re already winding me up, absolute dossers.

  • ELVISLEO131 ELVISLESKING7 (@ELVISLEO131) reported
