  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia I've spent three hours over two calls waiting for you to confirm a discount on my below standard broadband and to deliver a booster. I have had to escalate a complaint as it couldn't be resolved on the phone yet I'm still waiting for the level of service promised!!!

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    So, apparently been without all @virginmedia service ahain today, without warning, when Hubbs was supposed to be working from home. No projected resolution until 10pm; WTF am I paying for? Seriously?? 🤬🤬🤬

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia Then was told a booster would be delivered that never arrived. So when I called back it hadn't actually been ordered. I finally received it yesterday but am still waiting for a call back following a complaint I made and the charges I am not willing to pay for the booster.

  • josie_allan Jo Mclaughlin (@josie_allan) reported from Horwich, England

    I’m not sure how we could overcome WIFI access but surely there is a way that friendly bods @SkyUK @virginmedia could support to stop children missing out on remote teaching - digital poverty sucks

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    It seems my @virginmedia goes down on a weekly basis at the moment. Usually on my days off...🤬

  • Bismurff Lauren Fox (@Bismurff) reported from Warton, England

    @virginmedia having issues in the Warton area... been trying to call but there's no answer - all the online help did nothing. Are issues happening everywhere? #virginmediadown

  • cadeharry Nightsky Ceilings (@cadeharry) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia You are the worse Internet provider in the PR postcode what has happened 4weeks now intermittent service its like flip a coin to see if the Internet is working. And the lies about adjusting my bill has never happened time to say goodbye.

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia Yes, but each deadline came and went with no resolution and the notification by text didn't happen Anyway, there's no point in this conversation any more as there's nothing you can do except make the company look bad with each answer I give

  • lewishorsey92 Lewis Horsfield (@lewishorsey92) reported from Warton, England

    @virginmedia your internet is ******* **** paying all this money for your internet service to go down at least once a week. Absolutely shite

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia please contact me, it is imperative that you do. I have received zero customer service from you for a service I pay over £600 a year for. I would like your retention and technical team to make contact asap.

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia No, I have one. The complaint referenced twice in this thread. One complaint....zero call backs!!!

  • whitealbo martin (@whitealbo) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia I emailed you a few days ago regarding an issue I have,I've not had any reply yet and I'm getting only half the service I signed up and am paying for.

  • lewishorsey92 Lewis Horsfield (@lewishorsey92) reported from Warton, England

    @virginmedia 3rd time this week internet has gone down. Possibly the worst provider in the country

  • Hnc365 Howard Croston 🏁🇬🇧🇬🇬 (@Hnc365) reported from Preston, England

    @EppsRacer @virginmedia Gave up with @virginmedia many moons ago with the internet constantly being down which was laughable as I'd been talked into an upgrade that would cure the issue. Gave up with the call centre and sent a letter basically saying stuff! your contract

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

  • Libra_Comms Ali Gudgeon ✍🏻️ (@Libra_Comms) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia just wasted two hours on web chat trying to get a better sim deal as advertised. 45 mins to get through security. Tried to check/sign in on the Virgin mobile app and it doesn’t work for me or my husband, despite having an account for years. An absolute joke! 👎🏻

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia still holding 1:24 mins later. Your customer services are shocking

  • lewishorsey92 Lewis Horsfield (@lewishorsey92) reported from Warton, England

    @virginmedia your internet service is ******* crap

  • RichKeyte Rich Keyte (@RichKeyte) reported

    Tired of less than basic #superfast speeds on an apparent >200Mbps connection with @virginmedia and switching to equally terrible @O2 4G for minimally better speeds. Please stop mis-selling #internetspeed and do more to guarantee existing customers a reliable service.

  • j_hazzza James (@j_hazzza) reported

    @virginmedia You don’t help you lie, your customer service is disgusting.

  • crazyron2020 Ronmur (@crazyron2020) reported

    @virginmedia When I phoned I was trying to reduce my package. No help at all. Virgin don't care about existing customers. Will be exploring my options in January. 👎👎👎

  • TonyParncutt Tony Parncutt (@TonyParncutt) reported

    @virginmedia Am so disappointed. Have tried multiple times to get an engineer to attend and fix a problem with have with our broadband, only be told I don’t meet the criteria and to be unceremoniously cut off. Worst customer service ever.

  • NeilJamesNige Neil JamesNige Evans (@NeilJamesNige) reported

    @virginmedia Any chance of you acknowledging the complaint I made about being conned by one of you're representatives? Literally lied to, to get me to sign up?

    @virginmedia I have just been asked to return a modem from a property I sold and vacated nearly a month ago. I have since moved out of the country. I never received a returns parcel prior to my departure. What exactly are you expecting me to do about it?

  • Chapsdrivel Mark Chappell (@Chapsdrivel) reported

    @virginmedia Please provide a correspondence address or email for customer services - I wish to make a complaint and do not have the time or the will to continue to deal with you over the phone or by online chat.
