    @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

    @virginmedia Internet is not working properly in my pc and your virgin app does not work either. It has been like that since last night.

  • 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!

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

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

  • davedec60

    So @virginmedia once more we have an outage, how many times now in the last 3 months? NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! Currently looking at switching supplier

    @virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

  • 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!

  • Tom38971529
    Tom (@Tom38971529) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Well I would speak to a member of the team but always get the call cut short and I ask for a call back if the line goes dead. Twice yesterday ot happend Nd never got a phone call back

  • BagshotTwit
    Paul Austin (@BagshotTwit) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia I had my phone on me all day and didn’t have any missed call message. I have called numerous times and no progress. I understand you also can’t help me.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • McFadden1985
    James McFadden 🎮 (@McFadden1985) reported from Camberley, England

    My @virginmedia has completely gone down. On a Friday night & good Friday of all days. TV is completely blank 😣

  • HamiltonNashHR
    Jim Moore (@HamiltonNashHR) reported from Winnersh, England

    So @virginmedia is down again, and their 4G backup dongle has failed to take over AGAIN. In fact, it has never once failed over to 4G in any of the outages we’ve ever had. Why am I paying for this? 😡

  • 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!

  • Geordiesbird
    Alyson Leitch (@Geordiesbird) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia is there an outage in Woking? No WiFi at all for 2 hours so far. 😫😫🤬

  • gareth5274

  • 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!!!

    @PeteUK7 @LucyGoBag @virginmedia That’s appalling. Though for even their ‘apology response’ to get community noted is quite a spectacular fail!

    Mike Hill (@mikmikemicky) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia That's bad. When my dad died, a company who's bill didn't get paid even offered to be executor's in his estate?

    JC (@SaffaJC) reported

    @ghotographyuk @virginmedia You can’t get help, virgins customer service team are incapable of doing their jobs correctly and to be honest they just dont care

  • ArtformTheHeart
    ArtformDesigns (@ArtformTheHeart) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia I had similar issues after my mum passed (not with Virgin although I had other issues with them). It's tremendously upsetting and companies need to do better.

    Urm (@erm2urm) reported

    @virginmedia I've been waiting for 35 mins for somebody to answer my call. VM CS is awful. I can't log into my account. I get a message to enter my email. I do this. I get sent and email. I click on the link and it starts the same process again. Can somebody please HELP!!

  • PeteUK7
    Pete 😷 #COVIDisAirborne (@PeteUK7) reported

    @itsendeavour @virginmedia I hope they listen to the feedback they are receiving here. Not that I suppose they care that much. It's all about pleasing shareholders rather than providing professional service to their customers.
