  • FragileCreature Fragile Creatures (@FragileCreature) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia We already know there aren't problems in the area. I'm complaining about a lack of customer support staff and you send us to an automated line! Ridiculous.

  • INEya_veganfood RJ Buddha (@INEya_veganfood) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia crisis with 50%+ increase in monthly costs for no reason. No increase in service, no additional benefits - nothing! Then an horrendous contact centre service.

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Official complaint I’m afraid. They said ‘I’ll book an engineer’ I said ‘that was booked for tomorrow but you cancelled it’ She gets aggressive and it’s hard to understand what she’s saying and says ‘do you want an engineer or not.’ Sorry but this is truly shocking service.

  • INEya_veganfood RJ Buddha (@INEya_veganfood) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @KarenWolman @virginmedia absolutely horrendous customer service.

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia BN1 6FN - I’ve done the checks through your app and says no issue?

  • FragileCreature Fragile Creatures (@FragileCreature) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    I've been waiting 2+ hours for a response over WhatsApp from @virginmedia 3 hours since first trying to reach them with Broadband down. Can't work, starting to think they just don't employ any staff. Second time I've had negligent service from them. Looking elsewhere asap.

  • sara_saehasti Sara (@sara_saehasti) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia please can I have the UK customer services number as gathering inconsistent information from the general call centre and I am losing faith

  • mattiem1976 Matt (@mattiem1976) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia getting 17gb download speed on 100gb service ??? Surely this isn't correct I should of stated with sky

  • beadyface Keri Kennedy (@beadyface) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia It didn’t work, box was reset, tried to use online help, still not working.

  • FragileCreature Fragile Creatures (@FragileCreature) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia It's your customer service that isn't working. And our broadband router.

  • ibikebrighton Mark Strong (@ibikebrighton) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    Hey @virginmedia any news on internet outage in #Brighton BN2?

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Engineer Thursday. Not good enough really, had an engineer Saturday, problem still here if not worse, and being told to WFH due to heat. Cannot not be speeded up?

  • Angelsirius1 Angel sirius (@Angelsirius1) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia hi my box has code c233, i call only spoke to a computer which said it was sending a signal to mu box 30 mins later still no action.

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Hi, the interruption is ongoing so I’m guessing we have faulty equipment? When I go onto the website it tells me to ‘reset’ which I do and it works for a while then goes wrong again. Can we sort a new router? Is that the issue?

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Hi, we had an engineer around Saturday but it’s not really made much difference. It’s still intermittently dropping out and pretty slow too. What do you suggest to correct this?

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Same, slow and occasionally dropping out

  • logically_fuzzy Jonathan 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 & 🏳️‍⚧️ ally (he/him) (@logically_fuzzy) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @maecoloma8 @virginmedia @richardbranson I've lost a whole day's work, losing a lot of income, any more info on the Brighton outage?

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia So… are you saying work is being carried out today. Wait until tomorrow and then if still bad book an engineer? I can live with that. But the person I spoke to had no idea about that and just booked an engineer again. Can I ask have other people raised area issues?

  • MeMyselfAndLife Ian Clifford stands with Ukraine 🇺🇦 (@MeMyselfAndLife) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @HardyShorses @virginmedia Yeah I've had the same experience. I put a formal complaint in with call centre here in Manchester

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Called and no issues. It has to be equipment, right? There’s an option to ‘test hub’ on that link but it just goes to an invalid page. I’ve been patient for a few weeks now, but I’m finding it hard to remain so! Trying to work like this is impossible

    @virginmedia worst service ever. Who can I speak to about cancelling a contract that has never gone more than 3 days without freezing and buffering?

  • Stream_Gene Stream_Gene (@Stream_Gene) reported

    @virginmedia When I've run that check it just said there is an issue, check back later, still same.

  • baljsingh Bal (@baljsingh) reported

    @virginmedia So no reply after your first question? Out don’t give a fig about a long serving customer. Tell me where to drop your kit off to so you don’t try and charge me for 15 yr old tech! Charlatans!!!

  • martinold martin old (@martinold) reported

    Why is it so difficult for @virginmedia to get a bill correct or speak to someone who can actually help.

  • philliplit philliplittlewood (@philliplit) reported

    @virginmedia We changed our tv package in January and still haven't had the new channels switched on, the adviser my wife has been dealing with is working from home and not getting the issue sorted. His reply to her when she said I took to twitter was they can't help you I can dm you his no.

  • EndOfTheWedge Damascus Crowe (@EndOfTheWedge) reported

    @virginmedia deeply disappointed you used @YodelOnline to deliver my router, if you can call it a delivery. The collection point was open till 9pm and was a shop on a public high street. How did the driver FAIL to deliver it at 19.29?! Lobotomised monkeys could do a better job.
