  • CRJG_ Cameron🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@CRJG_) reported from Bracknell, England

    Huge congrats to @virginmedia for having a web chat service that is so bad that I joined the chat to upgrade my broadband, but after waiting for an eternity for replies I’m pretty much ready to just close my account

  • arintsie A Rintsie (@arintsie) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @virginmedia Phone call received this afternoon from your service centre but not about the complaint / when I asked about it they cut me off / email received from Resolution Team this afternoon telling me to ring your service line and have not read the complaint / total joke C-180123113

  • 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.

  • nattytude Nattytude (@nattytude) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down in GU51 since yesterday. When will it be up? Can't report it online, because we have no internet for it to check with!

  • 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

  • mattrose18 Matt Rose (@mattrose18) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Wired and yes. Seems to have stabilised for the time being. Hopefully no more issues

  • 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

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia No resolution has been offered by @virginmedia hence I have no cancelled my contract.

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

    @virginmedia service down in GU14?

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have on multiple occasions, I have just been taking to engineer who running the 30 day test, while taking to him I had 3 lost connection issues. Your employees are trying say that I will have to pay to leave my contract, @Ofcom state, I can leave without penalty

  • BeckyMorrish13 Becky Morrish (@BeckyMorrish13) reported from Camberley, England

    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?

  • 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?

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @MoneySavingExp How about they just deliver consistent service? I am leaving Virginmedia and they are making it hard, there rules state if I don’t get the speeds promised they I can leave without penalties, I’ve had 7 times where I have connection in the last 3 days! @virginmedia @richardbranson

  • mattrose18 Matt Rose (@mattrose18) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia TV is an issue. broadband is not. Tests are always either cannot connect at this time or say there is nothing wrong. Don’t see how my kit in the house can one minute have speeds on +300Mb to next to nothing?

  • 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.

  • arintsie 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

  • arintsie A Rintsie (@arintsie) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @virginmedia I am sorry but twice in 45 mins they cut me off as they did not know how to resolve the issue / easy way out

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

    @GiganetUK @virginmedia 13:25. Down again…

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia My cancellation date is already set 11th Nov 2022, as I have to give 30 days notice. You lost my business yesterday after one of your CS decided to try and change my package to make it cheaper thinking that would sort problem, he wasn’t listening to complaint!

  • 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

  • TTV_SirSorrow SirSorrow (@TTV_SirSorrow) reported

    @virginmedia Either wait 24 hours to wait for a problem to MAYBE fix it's self or wait 3 days for an engineer tell me exactly why I am paying £60 a month for this "service"? And even if I did wait I'll be back here again in 3 - 4 months. Let's see what your competition can offer me

  • RichardMeaghan Richard Meaghan INTP (@RichardMeaghan) reported

    @virginmedia I opened the link which went to virgin media page, I just clicked on chat then after the bot an agent arrived and we resolved the issue of an outstanding bill that wasn't in my closed account yet I was still being harassed by capresolve

  • StephenHird6 Stephen Hird (@StephenHird6) reported

    @virginmedia I've had Internet issues for 3 months with several virgin media "senior" engineers and still no resolution. Constant packet loss and less than 1mb download speeds when I pay for 200mbps!

  • briderman bryan rees (@briderman) reported

    @virginmedia had a problem now with my Internet being absolute crap since mid December and you still haven't fixed it . Ping test 335ms . Absolute joke bs9 bristol. Rubbish service . Get on it!!!!

  • WeelugsGary Gary Mcdonald (@WeelugsGary) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. It look like my postcode had intermit signal issues.

  • eggybvog Janet Jones (@eggybvog) reported

    @virginmedia Today I got a letter saying that my TV package will go up on 1st April by £6! I called the number provided, the handler say they’d have to call me back in 20 minutes as the computer was down. That was 4 hours ago!

  • D3borah1404 (@D3borah1404) reported from Livingston, Scotland

    @virginmedia Yes!!! Constantly. Haven't had selected channels now for over 2 weeks and WiFi is abysmal! Seems to fall on deaf ears as the issue is never resolved ! Certainly won't be renewing my contract with yous if its not resolved anytime soon!

  • LouiW Loui (@LouiW) reported

    @virginmedia emails are down? Saying incorrect user name or password and I haven’t changed anything? Is it your end?

  • tracey471 Pebbles (@tracey471) reported

    @virginmedia Your advice to post on the forum didn't work, I submitted something this morning and as yet I've had no response. Its getting to the pont where im thinking it would be best if I cancel the contract, virginmedia are not holding up to their part of the contract.

  • CMaze26 Maze (@CMaze26) reported

    @virginmedia are truly terrible Wednesday we lose our internet Thursday Woman from Virgin comes over and says basically our cable was replaced by people and we now have a faulty cable So Friday guy comes round to fix it, He says he can't fix it so they were supposed to send 1/?
