    @virginmedia @virginhelp so 17h with no reply wicked costumer service

  • gillih
    Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England

    @virginmedia John I have done all that already. And it’s not worked. I have spoken with my IT support and they confirm this is a problem with your servers. How are you proposing to sort this out for me please?? I’m paying for a service @virginmedia is not providing.

  • KieranTrvlr
    Kieran Traveller 🛫 🏰🚢 (@KieranTrvlr) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I have, and I get an automated service that hangs up on me after sending a text. I just want to order wifipods. I’ve tested the speed in the app, but it’s not allowing me to do anything. Chat doesn’t work, and calling won’t let me speak to anyone.

  • MsWhippet1
    Trudi Foster (@MsWhippet1) reported from St. Julians, Wales

    @virginmedia I was told to wait in this morning between 8am - 12pm for an engineer to fix my broadband. It's now 2pm and no sign of an engineer. I was told I'd be charged £25 if I missed the appointment. I think I should charge you for having to hang around for 6 hours waiting.

  • AcuharmonyUK
    Acuharmony-UK (@AcuharmonyUK) reported from Clevedon, England

    @virginmedia No reported issues. Tried the fixes before, and so did virgin chat. Not just my handset, other people are having the same problem. Am I going to have to change networks, is that what you're saying? Due to the change to O2?

  • chrisorman
    Chris Orman (@chrisorman) reported from Bradley Stoke, England

    Just spoken to @virginmedia customer services about red light on my hub. They GUARANTEED that the light will revert to white in the next 24 hours. Wonder what happen if their guarantee fails?

  • tinabadley
    Tina Badley (@tinabadley) reported from Bristol, England

    @BookDreamerSal @virginmedia Having the same problem. Just called Virgin - it seems many people are too. They're trying to sort it.

    Looks like @virginmedia is down across the UK. The outage is so big it’s crashed their website.

  • neilcairns
    Neil Cairns (@neilcairns) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia @EGX virginmedia where can I email to complain? My VirginMedia Box won’t let me delete a number of things and my Internet is patchy at best! £83 a month for this ****? Every time you call you people you’re on hold or cut off!

  • chloehester
    Chloe (@chloehester) reported from Bristol, England

  • dave_backwell
    David Lloyd (@dave_backwell) reported from Backwell, England

    She tried to complain, but got nowhere. This month her contract expired, so she tried again. Yesterday she spoke to a customer service guy @virginmedia who was very surprised at what she had been told back in July. He told her to contact the house moving dept, who'd refund her

  • garethbalmer
    Gareth Balmer (@garethbalmer) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia All good now - there were some power issues in another part of Gloucester that seemed to be causing the V6 box at our house and a few friends to restart. Very odd

  • sarahcliftonsc

  • lgwlgwlgw
    LGWLGWLGW (@lgwlgwlgw) reported

    @virginmedia Done this multiple times. Engineers have confirmed there are regular intermittent network outages in my local area which cause broadband to drop out for up to 10 mins at a time. Not good. Also no priority for anyone at Virgin Media to fix the issue any time soon

  • helen_brown65
    Helen Brown (@helen_brown65) reported

    @virginmedia please sort out the broadband issue in CT17 9NB. Absolutely unacceptable service. Will be changing providers if not fixed by this afternoon !!!

  • lgwlgwlgw
    LGWLGWLGW (@lgwlgwlgw) reported

    @virginmedia broadband down AGAIN. FFS. What do I pay you for?

  • sinbinnin
    Sinbinnin (@sinbinnin) reported

    @virginmedia We have had no TV in L22 since Saturday 11th July, outage checker has shown fix time this afternoon - just received a text to say engineer on the way, fix time now tomorrow. This is a bit more than rubbish, how do I claim compensation? (I thought it was automatic)

    @JefferychanRP you have strawpage gimmicks to attend to put the virgin media down

  • freispch

    Currently suing Virgin Media so know what you mean. They caused me to miss a critical operation on my upper spine. Been left with life changing chronic nerve damage.

  • UAVHive
    UAVHive (@UAVHive) reported

    Virgin Media simply do not seem to grasp customer service, I really fear the damage the merger with O2 will do to the service there. Penny pinching over a bereavement is proof of a fundamentally mismanaged customer service.

  • CCFCGrapes
    Kevin Davies (@CCFCGrapes) reported

    @virginmedia @George66Steve Sounds like a standard AI response. At least they did not say we value your custom. They could send you a message that says try this number and speak to one of our multitude of customer service agents.

  • the_k_bizzle
    Stevie K (@the_k_bizzle) reported

    @virginmedia Billing system apparently down but you've took a double payment from my bank card. If its reflected on my account fine, but customer service can't help as theyve got issues and online shows "Something went wrong"

  • DavidOw38948049
    David Owens (@DavidOw38948049) reported

    @virginmedia Why are you sending a phone number which as a non customer of Virgging and someone who does not want to become a customer cannot access ? All I want is for you to remove your broadband box from our property Also tried what’s app without any feed back ?
