    @virginmedia No customer service just ignore customers

  • NikoSarcevic Niko (@NikoSarcevic) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Service page doesn’t indicate anything. I’ve checked all the devices (I only use the wifi no lan cables) and nothing is connected.

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia After speaking to yet another member who stated they couldn’t do anything about it, I said I was going to cancel so I was transferred. The guy I spoke to was for once someone I could understand, he was able to sort my issue out in 10 minutes after being on the phone for 1 hour

  • rl_chris_higham Chris Higham (@rl_chris_higham) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @k_faulkner @virginmedia @jimconey I only got offered the new customer deal 20 days into my 30 day notice period after actually quitting! By which point I'd already signed up with someone else

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Why is @virginmedia customer service so unrelentingly bloody awful?? Still no call from an engineer, told replacement TiVo box would come by post for it to come out by courier and get notified of this 20 minutes after the delivery window has started and I was at work 😡

  • Deborah24780132 Deborah Gibson (@Deborah24780132) reported from Newburn, England

    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia sort your employees out, two days in a row they have called me and hung up when I asked them to remove my number from your system. Poor customer service !!!!

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I suggest you feed this back to Customer Service as I very much doubt I'm the first customer who's been misinformed on this. The engineer was supposed to be calling about my ongoing intermittent service issues, with both TV and internet.

  • NikoSarcevic Niko (@NikoSarcevic) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I see. It is very unfortunate as I cannot do my work when I’m not online and I also spend more on mobile internet because the service I pay for regularly is simply not there.

  • vanderpijpen ChrisV2theP™ (@vanderpijpen) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia Yeah because they couldn't get it to work so my problem was hardly resolved!!!!!!

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia There is no webmail to log on says try later - for 5 weeks Absolute shocking service

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @O2 your volt supercharge is a con! Why has my virgin media bill doubled and I’m being charged for making changes to my bill, none of this was mentioned to me this is a breach of contract im not paying almost £100 just cancel my package if that’s the case

  • chriswadehome Chris Wade (@chriswadehome) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia how do I manage the devices registered to the virgin tv go app. Online help not any help

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia these past few weeks my wifi signal has been absolute dog, I used to be able to get good signal all around the house, now barely get goof signal in my kitchen no more than 10m away from the hub, my TV which is about 2m away only gets 30mbps when my package is 200??

  • vanderpijpen ChrisV2theP™ (@vanderpijpen) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia Through WhatsApp chat lastnight said it was done received email saying added. Checked tonight still not working. Phonecall to your call centre 3 operators still not working now waiting for a technician 2 call me back apparently within 4hrs

  • vanderpijpen ChrisV2theP™ (@vanderpijpen) reported from Wallsend, England

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Customer service non existant

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Okay so why was I told it would be coming by post in 5 working days and why have I still not had a call from an engineer? Kind of my main issues and you can't blame Yodel for them!!

  • lbschmee Liam Bowering (@lbschmee) reported from Gateshead, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I have recently signed up for your WiFi package. However the Webpage when I try to register for a My Virgin Media account appears to be broken. Is there any other way to register for an account online? Thank you

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia According to your Customer Service I was informed I was to get a phone call by 5pm on Wednesday. When I rang back on Thursday to complete my order for a replacement box (after being offered a V6 but would have to pay installation) I was told no later than 5pm Friday.

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Well it said no issues, but all my devices will not connect, rebooted router. Nothing..

  • aimeemcs Aimée (@aimeemcs) reported

    @virginmedia What does she do if she hasn't had a response within 24hours? It's virgins mistake and could cost her her house so I think there really needs to be more done to help here

  • dexterlfc Chef D (@dexterlfc) reported

    @virginmedia why is this service so poor!!! Yet again no internet 3rd time in a week!!! No wonder guys jump ship to Sky with this kind of service!! Shocking!!

  • hanshoran Hannah Horan (@hanshoran) reported

    @virginmedia I have just received a letter saying you have tried to call me regarding my complaint but you haven’t at all. Now I can’t get through to your customer service line. Can you assist?

  • amit_m7 Amit Mandora (@amit_m7) reported

    @virginmedia I think you should read your auto compensation policy and amend it since covid has decimated the world. Your service has got worse since it happened and that’s poor. So I won’t be reading. I’ll be leaving. Goodbye KT, thanks for nothing at all. Merry Christmas without broadband.

  • iamrperry R (@iamrperry) reported

    @aimeemcs @virginmedia She won’t get one in 24hours. I’m waiting for a similar issue to be resolved and, one month after complaining, I’ve just received a letter to say they have “tried to call” (they haven’t) and now I have to text all my personal info to a robot. Ridiculous.

  • Wheely73 Neil Tomlinson (@Wheely73) reported

    @bt_uk Had a call. Still can’t rectify. Wish I could go back to @virginmedia as they were faultless in their service. Sadly not available here.

  • rbd600 rbd600 (@rbd600) reported

    Yet again @virginmedia broadband and tv are down. At least once a week this happens! Unbelievable! Anyone recommend a company that’s competent and actually provides a good service?

  • Saltbar Tony Barlow (@Saltbar) reported

    @virginmedia Does your broadband support VLAN tagging? I'm thinking of buying Google WiFi Mesh to go with your broadband.

  • natashaoconnor0 Tasha (@natashaoconnor0) reported

    @virginmedia Sorted. For now. But could be a repeat problem. Can I suggest a reduction on bill for the music torture and ruining my evening?

  • CameraCairns Mark Cairns (@CameraCairns) reported

    @virginmedia Last time I tried that I hang on hours and hours.
