Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, EnglandDear @VirginMedia, after 3x visits from technicians over 6 months (one of whom LIED about fixing bb/WiFi) I’m now back to no service (48 hours). Yes, tried rebooting, off/on etc, status says everything OK, Called yesterday and there IS an issue. When are you going to fix it?
-
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.
-
Daniel Sherlock (@mcsherlocks) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia Internet down at the moment in Woking also yesterday. Checked with my neighbours also down so is system wide
-
shaun harley (@shaun1968) reported from Didcot, England@virginmedia I'm expecting a replacement set top box to replace a broken tivo. Told it will be delivered Weds. but I've had no confirmation email and not showing in my virgin app. Can anyone help
-
Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, EnglandAnother day of bad experience with @virginmedia broadband service in RG6 area. Buffering on streaming service, no video calls possible on Skype and WhatsApp. Seriously thinking of switching to @bt_uk
-
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
-
Alex Turton (@woodyturts) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia hey, it’s been slow going on broadband in GU14 since Tuesday.
-
6thdr (@6thDr) reported from Wokingham, EnglandToday I finally changed my phone. Goodbye #virginmedia #virginmobile never again shall I have such awful customer service service.
-
FFR Tweets💥🚀 (@FfrTweets) reported from Maidenhead, England@virginmedia really difficult to get connected with an agent and some decent support, been trying to reach for days, just get Bots! @richardbranson
-
DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England@virginmedia We have engineer booked for today to see what is the issue as since I upgraded never had such a bad service experience for the last 12 years with @virginmedia
-
Vito Serafino (@vserafino19) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia @tandcbroking Either a lot of people are checking the service status on the website or that site also not working. Cheers
-
𝓓 𝓪 𝓶 𝓲 𝓮 𝓷 (@DamienPSmith) reported from Bracknell, England@virginmedia how soon before that issue is resolved? I’m in the RG12 area? Trying to work from home
-
faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia I’m not sure if they do. Happy to do another web chat to cancel.
-
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
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England@Firesnapper999 @virginmedia It’s really frustrating; the third technician was brilliant, replaced everything almost like a new install and it worked great for just over a week. Now the status site says everything is good whilst a call to support says it isn’t. #Grrr
-
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

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!

-
amc (@flabcab) reported@CheekyVic @virginmedia Can't think of a good one tbh. All customer service. For virtually everything. Is piss poor.
-
Steve Kelly (@kellyokid) reported@MelJanie @virginmedia I was with Virgin for years but got treated like a piece of crap on their shoe with multiple issues so I’ve left! Customer service is non existent! They just don’t care!
-
Paul O'Brien (@PaulOBrienKil) reported@virginmedia @MizzCQ I strongly urge anyone thinking of subscribing to @virginmedia to NOT do it. Took over a hour to get through to customer service & they still won't fix their mistake. Shambles of an organisation.
-
Karen Fleming (@KarenFleming36) reported@virginmedia sent a DM, been waiting over 30 minutes to speak to someone on the phone. I can’t watch TV after Virgin was installed less than 48hours ago. Please help!
-
Jacqueline Bolton (@JacquelineBolto) reported@virginmedia Need help to unlock our email account. Please help
-
Ed Jones (@edujones14) reported@Johnty14 @virginmedia Better than when they came to my house. I’m not a customer but they still came while I was out and dug up plants in my front garden to access connecting services I didn’t ask for. Then refused any contact with me afterwards due to not being a customer!
-
Amanda Frazee 💜💙🦁🦁AVFC (@AmandaFrazee12) reported@DianeRusse58708 @virginmedia That is naughty Diane when you are paying for a service
-
Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported@virginmedia If you check the DMs I’ve sent you 42 messages in the last 16 days. You have replied to lots of them. But you have never been able to tell me why the fix is taking so long, whether/when any engineering staff have actually turned up to look at our cabling, or when it will be fixed
