    @virginmedia It may be an issue you're already aware of but it's going on for 3 days now and not even as much as an email to explain why.

  • DrRichCollins
    Richard Collins (@DrRichCollins) reported from Castlereagh, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia hi, how do I escalate a complaint through customer service please? New service connection as of Monday... tv service still not working despite 2 calls (and v long waits) to customer service number. Not happy and considering cancellation.

    @virginmedia since my virgin mobile UK signal has been shifted from piggyback Vodafone to @O2 it has been a complete disaster, constant signal dropping, constant WiFi calling cutting. This is before my account has been transferred to O2. Complete and utter rubbish

    Well done to @virginmedia’s off shore support team for taking a loyal customer of 24 years, treating them so insensitively that they’ve now cancelled their contract and will go elsewhere for phone, broadband and TV.

    @virginmedia And I was also advised if it wasn’t resolved soon I should show the contract agreed to ofcom. Hopefully you can fix this or escalate it, thanks.

    Pete Kirk (@peterhkirk) reported from Ballyclare, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Having spent nearly three hours tonight trying to speak with someone with no luck I would like to know how customers get in touch, how they can get a solid service and when @virginmedia will cop onto what is acceptable as a business provider?? 😡

    @raycasey2003 Delicious! Having just spent six months of my life battling @virginmedia for the bare minimum compensation I was entitled to and witnessing their atrocious 'customer service', this has delighted me. I know he doesn't own Vigin Media anymore, but he created the monster.

  • johnpbell
    John Bell (@johnpbell) reported from Bangor, Northern Ireland

    .@virginmedia I’ve been waiting for 40 mins and counting. At no point am I told what place I am in the queue nor expected waiting times. Very poor. Can you please arrange a call back as I’m not prepared to wait those sort of times again with no idea of how long it’s likely to be.

  • rossthomaskane
    Ross kane. (@rossthomaskane) reported from Bangor, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia the wifi connection in our home has been terrible the last few months. Anytime my mum calls she gets frustrated because she doesn’t understand the questions, but she is the only person staff will talk to as she is the account holder. Any suggestions??

  • BeauSooth
    Gerry McCrudden (@BeauSooth) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia "I am really so sorry that you are looking to cancel the services which I will need to get you connected with our customer relations team who will be able to help you further..." I had to ring on a different day as I had no more time that day

  • lab_animal

    @virginmedia any idea when the issues will be resolved in the BT14 area ? The fault status on the app is still saying due fixed at 10am !

  • Fionnominal

    @virginmedia internet down. Newlodge Belfast. It’s hard to tell though because it’s speeds sometimes are slow and stop.

  • HarbourLord
    Harbour 💚 (@HarbourLord) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia you have the worst laid out website. All I'm trying to do is speak to someone on chat to figure out why I have zero upload speed right now and honestly thinking of just cancelling my broadband contract because your site is so unfriendly for customers to navigate.

  • lynnnnseyj
    Lynsey (@lynnnnseyj) reported from Bangor, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia hi, how to I make a complaint regarding construction. Office is now closed and the team were in a meeting earlier. Is there an email address?! Really not good enough!!

  • _JennyMcKiernan
    Jennifer McKiernan (@_JennyMcKiernan) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Your complaints team appears to have lied to me. They've failed to register my formal complaint about harassment & what appears to be a criminal data breach. This is all over a router that was returned a year ago. Can you help?

  • mfearonmusic
    Michael Fearon (@mfearonmusic) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @virginmedia Then I noticed that I was missing the children’s channels. I called and got it sorted but I was told the new bill will show as £150 odd but not to worry a manager will be applying discount, that never happened.

  • tmcerlean95

    Ffs @virginmedia fed up with these network blackouts recently! I’m gonna find another provider at this rate 🙃 😡

    @keithapearson @virginmedia @MartinSLewis I think Yodel can challenge VM. They left a package at my neighbour no2, due to the layout of the close, no2 is nowhere near no3 and the photo of proof is also not no2 unless you are in the next close 🤬 An hour on a chat to discover that the driver is an idiot.

  • oisoli
    Soli (@oisoli) reported

    @virginmedia we are getting no internet and the app says it’s our kits connection but that is all good and still won’t work after following your steps? Any help or updates?

    Howard (@HOWARD301483152) reported

    Thank you virgin media for selling the phone network to 02 one of the worst phone companies in the world brain dead customer service stay well clear people

  • IanLewis299
    Ian Lewis (@IanLewis299) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry, I've worded that badly. I meant I didn't even want to raise a complaint. I told them not to raise it, and they have done anyway, and resolved it. They also told me not to fill in the survey as my issue (not a complaint!) isn't yet resolved so it wouldn't look bad on them!

  • ObliviousReaper
    Ian Whittaker 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@ObliviousReaper) reported

    @virginmedia outage on both TV and then broadband around Leeds?

  • missjnyc1
    Jeanette (@missjnyc1) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely ridiculous that according to your customer service team no technicians in your company work over the weekend. So we are left without broadband for 5 days as it hasn’t worked since yesterday and the earliest someone can come out is Monday between 5pm & 7pm

  • sodiumlights
    Sodium (@sodiumlights) reported

    In the meantime, they're offering the same to new customers for less than £30. You know what? I'm going to make you fix your broken kit and then I'm going to find a new provider. **** you and your stupid ******* games, @virginmedia

  • garyb007
    Gary Broadbent (@garyb007) reported

    @lennylaw @virginmedia There's an exception to every rule. Usually they're crap. Certainly the worst company I've ever had the misfortune to deal with.

  • Pass_Move
    WATCHING THE GAME (@Pass_Move) reported

    @virginmedia This company is a complete and utter shambles. Still no Wi-Fi, still no broadband, still no TV, still no one answering phones. No basic information from the company with the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced.

  • sodiumlights
    Sodium (@sodiumlights) reported

    @virginmedia Oh, and when I've told you what the error message is, and you send an engineer out without telling him that, so he doesn't have the parts he needs, is ****. Looks like my O2 data is going to get hammered. And I'm going to get cold.
