  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia *sigh*. Been directed to this many times. Had engineers referred many times. This is a persistent issue that raises its ugly head far too frequently

  • mkn1ght Ultra Mugnus (@mkn1ght) reported from Reading, England

    @monstroso @virginmedia A problem we all have.

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

    @virginmedia It’s more about how this can’t be dealt with online and spending a busy day trying to get to talk with someone who actually can help. #Disgraceful #expectedthis

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

    @denman79 @virginmedia The irony is that @virginmedia are more like the Pistols -‘No point in asking you’ll get no reply’ and they seem ‘Pretty Vacant’ but ‘Never mind all that…..’ can someone please take some responsibility and ownership that seems to be sadly lacking atm

  • AndyBarr79 Andy Barr 🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@AndyBarr79) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Hi see first tweet in chain, I have been waiting on CS whom I called and raised a call back complaint request with before I tweeted my frustration

  • tashaj1984 Natasha Gorrie (@tashaj1984) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I have posted but not sure how a forum post will help. Can you advise of your official escalation complaint process

  • 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.

  • AndyBarr79 Andy Barr 🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@AndyBarr79) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I can't sign in as I no longer hold an account, your CS don't care and obviously fobbing me off and not raising complaints as requested, I will just pursue via FCA and/or trading standards.

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

    @virginmedia Thanks. Engineer showed up, plugged in a new Hub 3, “fixed” my BB & WiFi and, 3 hours later, it’s still not working. Can I 1) file a complaint and 2) get a guarantee that this will be fixed for once and for all.

  • 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?

  • AlisonJaneWilso Alison Jane Wilson (@AlisonJaneWilso) reported from Camberley, England

    @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 !

  • ce141974 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!!!

  • 6thDr 6thdr (@6thDr) reported from Wokingham, England

    Today I finally changed my phone. Goodbye #virginmedia #virginmobile never again shall I have such awful customer service service.

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

    @virginmedia hey, it’s been slow going on broadband in GU14 since Tuesday.

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

    @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?!?!?! 🤬🤬

  • 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!

  • DoughnutDoney Doughnut Doney (@DoughnutDoney) reported from Benson, England

    @virginmedia plz stop calling me asking if I want an upgrade. Been a loyal customer for over 15 yrs and its getting annoying now. Yes my phone is due for an upgrade but only when I want it. So plz when you say Im on the 'has been contacted list' stick with that 😞

  • Debbiejojessup Deborah Jessup (@Debbiejojessup) reported from Woodley, England

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

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

    Hey @virginmedia I forgot how awful you were when it came to anything other than collecting my direct debit. Apparently you don’t have a complaints dept, genius, and after 4 calls to you today totally around three hours, you cut two of them off during the musical interlude!

  • McN_lty McNulty (@McN_lty) reported

    I'm beginning to wonder if @virginmedia services are on strike. There seems to be an awful lot of dissatisfied people who are not getting the service they are paying for and with seemingly no idea when the issues will be resolved. #shitshow

  • robdgreen Rob Green (@robdgreen) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. I've now raised a formal complaint using the link provided and I really hope that someone contacts me to resolve this. I'm really unhappy.

  • fpl_jedi The RedEye FPL Jedi (@fpl_jedi) reported

    @virginmedia We have working internet and the 3 x virgin engineers confirm there is signal coming through the tv cables but both the 360 box and 360 mini box show ‘account error CS1011’.

  • desshiels Desmond Shiels (@desshiels) reported

    @virginmedia TY. U didn't answer my question though but your reply confirms my suspicions. It takes 30 days to action. So customers CAN give 35 days notice if they wish. But Virgin try to make them call back later in the hope they won't. Bad customer service practise. Thats why I am leaving

  • uweau2 uwe au (@uweau2) reported

    @virginmedia Unbelievable customer service, ring to renew the contract. Agent offered for £37 then said system glitched the new offer is £39 and half of the agreed speed. Well done Virgin, this is how you treat your loyalty customers. We are leaving for good.

  • Editmonster Stewart Daniels (@Editmonster) reported

    @virginmedia So ,I was emailed today saying someone would be coming over today and asked for a time , I emailed back with a time , never got a email back and no one show up , I am getting very tired of communication breakout from your service

  • viennawaits4_u vienna (@viennawaits4_u) reported

    @virginmedia Well we are not permitted to speak to you over the phone as we are not Virgin customers, your WhatsApp means are atrocious so it was escalated to your customer support officer who told us she is the highest level of complaints and has not resolved our complaint other than copying

  • StumpyC94 Scott Cunnington (@StumpyC94) reported

    @virginmedia I have. They tried to cancel my SIM that I've had for 6 years as well to top it off but that has been resolved when speaking to someone from O2. Glad this is over

  • fpl_jedi The RedEye FPL Jedi (@fpl_jedi) reported

    @virginmedia @bryanadams The only engineers say you will reset this and it will work. It never happens. I just phoned again and was told all you could do is raise a new support ticket and it will take 5 days. Im close to loosing the will to live. Please can I just have the TV I pay for?

  • Fitzy__07 Fitzy (@Fitzy__07) reported

    @virginmedia how do you request a replacement for a faulty WiFi router. Speed test are always at an acceptable level, however signal drops intermittently on a regular basis and have done since my router was upgraded to the Hub 4
