    @virginmedia Mobile. They re-set the account and told me I had to wait an hour before I could try again. When I asked why I was treated like I was stupid.

    Amanda Davies (@AmandaD00131015) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia Then why did the call handler say 48 hours.? 28 days is unacceptable & no one has contacted me to find out details, so how can they resolve my issue?!?

    @virginmedia It seems a little expensive and I was hoping for a reduction as being a pensioner and a customer of Virgin long before it was Virgin, namely. Comtel back.on the day.

    @virginmedia It says no known issues but there plainly are as we have no internet

  • StuPCrook
    Stuart Crook (@StuPCrook) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia I’ve called them and got nowhere - it’s a simple request that should be a simple form - not an hour wait in the phone minimum. You don’t publish the number, it isn’t in the help screen and the chat function times out! #useless #poorcustomerservice

    So @virginmedia seems to have gone down across the whole country simultaneously. Will be interesting to see what the root cause is.

    @virginmedia no reply from your customer services number - I need a broadband engineer visit. How do I arrange this if noone answers the phone !

  • pepetideo
    CrankyGeek (@pepetideo) reported from Begbroke, England

    @virginmedia Yes.. After much back and forth to simply getting teh to acknowledge they had overcharged me for 2 months... But the issue is... You took my money incorrectly but the refund takes a 45 days. This is absolutely despicable. There is no reason for a delay like that

    The whole house was just woken up by @virginmedia who decided to make a sales call at 7:45am this morning. So much for a peaceful lie in. I panicked when someone called so early on a Saturday morning, I thought it must be a family emergency. Thanks @VirginMediaCorp!

  • wcbutcher
    Bill Butcher (@wcbutcher) reported from Kidlington, England

    @virginmedia the system is down in OX5 again. Also how are we expected to report a fault on line if it’s down. This is unacceptable 2nd time in 2days. Will the £50 compensation you offered for the 1st now be increased. It’s NYE so Plse get it sorted.

  • travellingbex
    Bex Allen (@travellingbex) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    4yrs with @virginmedia never had a problem. But now that I do their 'customer service' sucks, endless cycles of talking to bots on their website, or being on hold for hours on the phone! 3 days of this just trying to get the Internet I'm paying for! #frustrated #virginmedia

    @virginmedia WiFi down all day in Oxford - any idea on a time to fix ?

    @virginmedia Please stop calling me every day to offer “deals”. I cannot have made it any clearer that I’m not interested. I’m cancelling as soon as possible because your customer service is the worst. It’s borderline harassment

  • GazzaAdams
    Gary Adams (@GazzaAdams) reported

    @virginmedia I need this escalated as a formal complaint regarding fault **F012421201**, because the information Virgin Media is providing has now become demonstrably contradictory. At **08:01 today, 20 August**, Virgin Media told me: “Our engineer is on site and they're working to fix the problem.” The estimated repair time given was **18:00 today**. At **15:27 today**, after I have had intermittent service for most of the day and had to hotspot from my phone to be able to work, Virgin Media has now told me: “We have identified the problem and an engineer is on their way.” The estimated repair time has also been moved to **14:10 tomorrow, 21 August**. These statements cannot both accurately describe the progress of the same fault. An engineer who was already **on site and working on the problem at 08:01** cannot subsequently be **“on their way” at 15:27** without some explanation. I fully understand that a complex network fault may take longer to repair than initially anticipated, and that estimated restoration times can change. That is not my complaint. My complaint is that Virgin Media is repeatedly providing contradictory factual information about the status of the repair, while I remain without the service I am paying for. I consequently have no confidence in the estimated restoration times being provided. Please therefore: 1. **Log this as a formal complaint and provide me with the complaint reference.** 2. Confirm the actual current status of fault **F012421201**, rather than repeating the automated status information. 3. Explain how an engineer could be reported as on site and working at 08:01 but “on their way” at 15:27. 4. Confirm when the outage affecting my service officially began and that the full period of loss of service has been recorded against my account. 5. Confirm what automatic compensation I will be entitled to for the complete loss of service, where applicable. I have retained screenshots of the outage updates and their timestamps. Please respond to the specific points above rather than sending me another automated repair estimate.

    Kaiser Soothsays (@_SonOfTheDesert) reported

    @virginmedia No. Because it’ll end up as a hard reset and we’ll lose all our recorded stuff. When are you going to bring out a box that saves content to the cloud? That way, there’d be no issue.

  • stephenm68
    Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported

    I dream of 10 hours! Our @virginmedia broadband has been down for around 600 hours and there is no information about why they can’t fix it….. Customer since 2007 when the company began, too.

    @virginmedia @JohnMac22756388 We can read what the text says but why are people getting it who haven’t reported a problem and please don’t talk about DM s we need to send because nobody at virgin can ever help when we do !!!!

  • _SonOfTheDesert
    Kaiser Soothsays (@_SonOfTheDesert) reported

    Hey, @virginmedia, I don’t have a problem with @SkySports. What I DO have a problem with is channels stuttering. Will the software update solve that?

  • JonHar1985
    Jon H (@JonHar1985) reported

    @virginmedia Haha there is zero point. I’ve got 2 complaints ongoing due to how crap you’ve become. Really love I’m ******* for like another 18 months. Absolute top tier service you bunch of jokers
