    Caryn Sinclair (@ce141974) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is beyond bad!! When making a complaint because I have no internet your representative desires to shout over me! I’ve been waiting 3 days!! Shocking!!!

  • fayeharland

    @virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

  • 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.

  • hoarp001
    Peter ***** (@hoarp001) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia my broadband is running at 10mbps (supposed to be 200). The app has done a "scan" and it says there is a network error and check back in 24 hours. Problem is, it's still slow three days later and there appears to be no more help on offer. Now what?

  • HamiltonNashHR
    Jim Moore (@HamiltonNashHR) reported from Winnersh, England

    So @virginmedia is down again, and their 4G backup dongle has failed to take over AGAIN. In fact, it has never once failed over to 4G in any of the outages we’ve ever had. Why am I paying for this? 😡

  • 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!

  • 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

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

    @monstroso @virginmedia A problem we all have.

  • 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

    Anybody having problems with @virginmedia in the Reading area ……..?

  • 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?

  • flyingjok
    John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Worst part of it @virginmedia is the way your customer service team speaks to customers. Quite appalling and in my experience always approached on basis that the customer is wrong. It consistently bad - to be told you don’t send texts when I clearly had two texts quite insulting!

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

    @virginmedia service down in GU14?

  • Chateauneuf64
    Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    @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

  • kqbrain
    Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia It's always the same response. No service impacting issues reported. However, the service is pretty bad. Wondering if @virginmedia network is capable of handling traffic or deliberately doing throttling. @Ofcom

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

    @virginmedia Yep. Wired isn’t working either. I have no broadband, no WiFi, no service. Been like this since Saturday and intermittent since Jan/Feb.

    @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV trying to get through to your customer services for explanation of bill. #losingthewilltolive

    @virginmedia why since Monday is so bad signal in Reading West ? I’m not able to work !

  • 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.

    @entrustTMF @Gary1165 @virginmedia What issue are you having? I have yellow light flashing since yesterday. Their technical support is closed. Done troubleshooting and all and nothing.

  • pepetideo
    CrankyGeek (@pepetideo) reported

    @virginmedia you should not be glad. You should be ashamed of your terrible track record so far

  • ___GJS___

    @Andysbrett @virginmedia One of the worst customer service departments out there!

  • aidan_codtello
    Aidan Costello (@aidan_codtello) reported

    @entrustTMF @virginmedia Sounds like an easy decision. You have had diabolical service and support.

  • AngeStevenson
    andrea stevenson (@AngeStevenson) reported

    @virginmedia hi! I keep getting a message saying to upgrade my virgin box to get sky Atlantic - is it easy to install myself, is it a case of using the same wires as my existing box so a quick change over? Also my internet is often very poor, I assume this won’t affect the box?

  • Turkish_hackney
    Turkish 🇹🇷 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Turkish_hackney) reported

    @virginmedia spoke to your customer service not long ago and the person couldn’t understand me. Why do you hire people that don’t understand basic English sorry to say. And your services are rubbish by the way, I will be cancelling

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @Oldbloke74 @virginmedia I have to admit the bloke on the call centre helpline was really nice and helpful but the problem was he seems to just have been making up stuff to make me happy with what I heard as what he said and what has actually happened aren't even close to being in the same postcode 😢

  • Martinayres65o1
    Martinayres65@outloo (@Martinayres65o1) reported

    @virginmedia it’s now been an hour since the promised call from you. Given we have been without broadband & TV since Friday I would have thought you would make it a priority. Seems Virgin doesn’t care about its customers. Happy to take money whilst delivering no service
