  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?

  • RERomain Rachel Romain (@RERomain) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia It has been almost 30 years since he was a new customer... 🙃

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I raised the complaint on 14/7 and I’ve heard nothing

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    After 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, I’ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. 😔. #TimeforaChange

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia so after weeks of unbelievably poor broadband and customer service there was an offer from you to resolve the situation with a web chat at 11am, with a link being provided here. No link. I’m lost for words

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve now been told that there is no complaints team, despite the fact I spoke to them earlier. How is it possible to be so poor?

  • J4Y_DEE Justin 🇺🇦 (@J4Y_DEE) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Broadband down in my area, this is frustrating. Reckon it’ll be fixed by 9. No tv & Broadband during the school holidays

  • katie_2521 Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia I had already look at this page previously. And when we have issues there is no indication on what it could be, I. E the *********** light is in as if its connected

  • katie_2521 Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia been struggling for days with home WiFi. Tried to contact you guys but cant find a number Please help

  • 1CreativeRay Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

  • RWheelhouse1 rachel Wheelhouse 🇺🇦 (@RWheelhouse1) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Hey @virginmedia Parents new 360 box not working and engineer not available to come out til the 27th!!!! Not good enough! 😔

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Virgin Media broadband down AGAIN. Service Status website & app don’t work as no internet connection 🤨 @virginmedia

  • nigelrumsey Nigel Rumsey (@nigelrumsey) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia Your link says it can’t find any issues, there are issues. Can you advise if it’s being investigated? What’s the eta? Thanks.

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?

  • 1CreativeRay Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

  • RaeOfTheBooks Rae (@RaeOfTheBooks) reported

    Feels like I've spent the last 2 days trying to get @virginmedia to actually sort our issues. Tonight they are mainly enjoying keeping me on hold for 15 mins at a time then cutting off the call...

  • MrLeesRamblings Lee Winter™ (@MrLeesRamblings) reported

    @virginmedia Do you not even read what's being written??? THE ADVISOR SAID THERE ISNT A PROBLEM! You're as tiresome as they were.

  • reganj3 Regan J 🖤 (@reganj3) reported

    Just spent the last 1hr 45mins on hold to speak to someone @virginmedia. They hung up before I got to speak to anyone. 2 months of hassle. Just let me LEAVE! This has happened before and I’m losing the will. Someone help! @virginmedia

  • MrLeesRamblings Lee Winter™ (@MrLeesRamblings) reported

    @virginmedia Your advisor was adamant there isn't an issue, as is your website & service checker I logged into my hub & there is no service coming in, same as most of the town & surrounding area But what do you care, you're still being paid aren't you Always been the same

  • JackRodway1 Jack Rodway (@JackRodway1) reported

    @virginmedia Trying but it says there's a problem with my connection 🙄

  • p_neale1 Paul Andrew Neale (@p_neale1) reported

    @virginmedia This is the worst failure of service I’ve experienced from any company ever-Iwould never have considered t/f’ing to you if I’d had any idea that I would be misinformed EVERY DAY & be left with no service-I do a lot of work from home and rely on the internet-PLEASE HELP SORT THIS

  • kimberleyinc_ just kim (@kimberleyinc_) reported

    @virginmedia I've seen the link but none of the options so far have worked. Kits aren't arriving and we haven't been able to arrange a collection as they keep contacting an outdated phone number even though this has been updated on the account. Tried to raise a complaint unsuccessfully.

  • rizzybluexx Rizzy Blue (@rizzybluexx) reported

    @virginmedia Already reported our virgin box is out of date and not working properly, but now told to have an up to date box we have to pay £35!! We have the full package so why do we have to pay for an up to date box when it should be included in the service??

  • nataliamllr Natalia (@nataliamllr) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, are you able to share any further tips to fix a virgin tv box. Ours starts up with Welcome screen then just nothing. Followed all fixes on your help site, but still nothing. Not really wanting to wait a few days for an engineer.

  • duanned123 duanne davis (@duanned123) reported

    @virginmedia Constant issues there never ending the system was installed by croydon cable when I was still a virgin…
