    @virginmedia @elise_john85 So you're whacking up Elsie's cost because you have more customers (who are presumably also paying you) using the service, and you want to use Elsie extra £4.50 / month so you can invest in services that attract even more customers?!? Get in the bin!

    @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!!!

    @virginmedia all week had total Broadband outages and down again now (past hour). Received a text from VM with link to follow (self help) and guess what, I need Internet to access! Trying to WFH just impossible. Every hour we have issues.

    @virginmedia I upgraded to the Ultimate Oomph package in Jan but still waiting for the order to be completed. I’ve contacted customer services on numerous times but no success, I’ve also raised a complaint. How do I actually get some help to complete the order?

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

    @virginmedia Patchy. And the weekends enquiry regarding possibly upgrading... Non existent service.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • DimiD35089880
    DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Promised date someone to sort external connections come and gone and still same s*****. Can’t believe 4 weeks and nobody can’t fix it. 🤔I think something is fishy @virginmedia get it sorted

  • sabrevan
    Brendan (@sabrevan) reported

    @virginmedia - no broadband since Wednesday night. I managed to speak to a person at your help centre. They told me there was there is no service! Wow. When asked what the cause of the problem was, I was told that the engineers were looking into it. What is causing the issue?

  • EdenPrime88
    AKW (@EdenPrime88) reported

    @virginmedia could you please reply to a complaint submitted for account 141321301 Area 02. The situation has gotten absolutely ridiculous

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @virginmedia OK, leaving aside the fact it seems pretty poor that I haven't had a reply from the original agent for four days now I'm happy enough to send a repeat of it IF I don't need to faff about going through security yet AGAIN? IF I do-I'll just wait for a reply to the original DMs. OK?

    @virginmedia WiFi cutting out twice today and in last 2 days. Inconvenient at best. Why? Postcode says no issues..

    @virginmedia Well after speaking to someone from customer resolutions this morning, I left my details and heard nothing back! I've been trying to sort this out for weeks now and my contract is about to expire!

    @virginmedia absolutely sucks. They won’t even help me unlock my email and I’ve apparently been blacklisted for not doing anything???
