    @virginmedia WiFi is STILL not working... new engineer installed today following a move, and couldn’t make it work. Promised me I’d get a call, but didn’t. I phoned tech support, they promised a call in 4 hours. Guess what THEY DIDNT EITHER.

    @virginmedia We need this sorting, as there are 3 of us working from home, involving video meetings. How do we get in touch with you to sort our services out? Our TIVo box is also slow to respond and on-demand isn’t working, due to internet problems. Help. Now. Please.

    @virginmedia Followed. procedure to switch broadband providers from virgin to Vodafone. Eng. Comes installs my service. Start paying Vodafone. 15 days later. Bill from virgin like nothing has changed Cal them... They say they didn't know I was moving. Say that I should not worry... They will fix it. 1.month after another full bill from virgin. 90.min on a call later they finaly agree they have ****** up and will return the money taken from me... In 45 DAYS!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY infuriating that they can get away with this fuckery and abuse of their customers.

    @virginmedia I just want to cancel my contract. You are not a reliable company. You can’t even bother to speak with the customers that pay you.

    Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia And yes I called to your outage number, apparently there is no known issue in the area. Even though last night at 11.30pm in the app the status check showed every service is down, even though they weren't down last night. This happens only during working hours.

    @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.

    @Benleo Virgin Media are honestly useless. Hours and hours wasted on the phone over the years, nothing ever fixed. Staff seem completely incompetent. At one point I was so stressed I thought I was having a heart attack. Shocking service.

    Anyone got any advice on how to get @virginmedia to help solve a problem? My WiFi and TV have not been working since Thursday and I am told the outage in the area may not be fixed until Tuesday. Hard to accept.

    Richard (@xTHEDROIDx) reported

    @virginmedia I'm trying to link my parents virgin media o2 account with a virgin media account, but when I do this, it's asking us to sign in with an email address we do not have access to. I've tried calling your customer services and they can't understand me.

  • Donatedparts
    Steve Austin (Not the real one) 🇬🇧 (@Donatedparts) reported

    @Benleo @marktenjag @virginmedia File an official complaint stating you were misled & want the contract cancelled without penalty. You can use a Consumer Rights Template from Citizens Advice. Escalate to a Communications Ombudsman if the company rejects your claim or fails to resolve it within 8 weeks.

    @mark_wootten @virginmedia are just as bad for things like that

  • _jadebrady
    Jade Fairclough (@_jadebrady) reported

    @virginmedia down for 9 hours now, only fixed in 24 - 48 hours. In today’s world where everything relies on internet this is really appalling service. If you had prior warning there was an outage expected you can prepare but to have it off for so long is ridiculous
