    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!

  • RNeacsu
    Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia And yes I called to your outage number, apparently there is no known issue in the area. Even though last night at 11.30pm in the app the status check showed every service is down, even though they weren't down last night. This happens only during working hours.

    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?

    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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Pablocollier
    Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Sorry but no. If you can't monitor your own service provision why should I ?

  • DawnFabbricatti
    Dawn Fabbricatti🇿🇦🇮🇹 (@DawnFabbricatti) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia You LITERALLY cannot be serious right now? Is this how you believe my issue will be solved? And yes, in the last 19 days I have rebooted twice.

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

  • 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.

  • vserafino19
    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

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

    @virginmedia Nope. There’s “nothing wrong” with the broadband according to the status page. Never is. It’s always the hub supposedly downloading updates. 10 weeks of this now, getting a bit bored of the lack of service TBH. This needs to be escalated.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • danbon1973
    Daniel Bonilla (@danbon1973) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia how do I check my virgin status if the status page doesn't work? Is there an outage in GU21 area?

  • callum_penny
    Callum Penny (@callum_penny) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia no WiFi for the past 4 hours now… have ran tests to solve issues. Says service is fine in area again now but still nothing? Gu52 area code

  • Rochdale_Cowboy
    Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Took out an @O2 account as part of some 'volt' deal with @virginmedia. My god O2 are bad. Apparently you have to wait a few months to access your account online to wait until their systems "catch up" for new joiners. Shouldn't have bothered.

  • fayeharland
    faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I’m not sure if they do. Happy to do another web chat to cancel.

  • soapyrct
    Sean Pearson (@soapyrct) reported

    @virginmedia @customerchamp1 It is literally the level of service you have provided for many years.

  • Sheppo1874
    Ryan Sheppard (@Sheppo1874) reported

    @alisonclay71 @virginmedia They’re the worst. I was a customer for over 10 years and moved house recently. They refused to move the service to my new house. Incredibly poor service. Also, be prepared for them to chase you constantly to return their kit or they’ll charge you for it!

  • YeshuaFoxtrot

    ClassicKatyy ✌️ (@ClassicKatyy) reported

    @virginmedia @PaulMcDade7 All your self service checker tells me is it can't connect to the kit in my house, because there's no internet. What's the ETA on a fix?

  • BFrog86370
    🇬🇧Byron Frog 🇬🇧 (@BFrog86370) reported

    @virginmedia I have to say your customer service is absolutely pathetic and one of the worst I’ve ever had the misfortune to have to deal with. Almost 2 weeks since installation and it’s still not all working
