    @virginmedia - I’ve had pixelated channels for weeks - I had an actual engineer booked to come today and miraculously those channels were fixed when I checked last night - so I text “FIXED” only to find they are not working again this morning - now I’m hanging on the phone for

    @virginmedia I’m complaining about the difficulty & time taken to resolve an issue. Being on the helpline for over 2 hrs, being passed on numerous times, each time going thru security, each time explaining issue, people not calling back when promised, complaint not addressed. feel powerless.

    @virginmedia I had my WiFi and phone installed back in June , the box outside my house was broken so your engineer connected to my next door neighbour, and was told it would only be for a week , I have phoned numerous times and just get ignored . Atrocious service!

    @virginmedia Have tried 3 more times to get through with the same outcome. Paying a lot of money for no service and no customer service!

    @dragonsangel01 @virginmedia @Ofcom When it's works it is good BUT their customer service has got progressively worse, and now it is almost none existent

    @MartinDaubney @virginmedia I would be going to an Ombudsmen. Shocking service. I'm with Sky, really great service.

    @virginmedia Wow, £96 a month full package! Never even asked for it, and all phone numbers unavailable!!! #Swindlers

    petenjane (@petenjane) reported from Topsham, England

    @virginmedia There seems to be a region wide problem with your internet service and your service status page is broken - a service announcement would be useful might save you a few incoming calls too?

  • last_centurion
    JC (@last_centurion) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    @tapmydata @ICOnews @virginmedia I know. I’ve seen a few tweets people complaining about the customer service and their handling of data under the GDPR regulations

  • MElcoate
    Martin Elcoate (@MElcoate) reported from Topsham, England

    It would appear that @virginmedia broadband is down across the SW until at least midday. Not that you’d know from VM. Have had to glean this from internet searches & Facebook. Usual poor VM customer service.

    Jackie Kelly (@JackieKellySW) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    @virginmedia on demand not working ?

  • MElcoate
    Martin Elcoate (@MElcoate) reported from Topsham, England

    Dear @virginmedia, I rarely take to social media to complain however attempts to make a formal complaint via telephone “help”line & via online chat have failed. Your customer service is the worst I’ve ever experienced. Your complaint handling process is also broken. @WhichUK

  • AJMerron_writes
    AJ Merron (@AJMerron_writes) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    @virginmedia Apparently there’s some form of outage on the network as a whole. I can’t get any clear answers from the @TravelodgeUK Wi-Fi help line. The network just seems to be refusing to connect logged in devices. I’m here for one night and requested money back for Wi-Fi to no avail.

  • MElcoate
    Martin Elcoate (@MElcoate) reported from Topsham, England

    @virginmedia Well that’s pretty meaningless. Broadband down in Exeter & other parts of Devon. When is service expected to be restored? Why haven’t you put a message on your website? This is impacting my ability to work at home.

  • JackieKellySW
    Jackie Kelly (@JackieKellySW) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    @virginmedia Router being swapped some time this week ! New customer deal significently better then a customer of 15 years !

  • nrjs1000
    Nicholas Seymour (@nrjs1000) reported from Countess Wear, England

    After weeks of problems and discussions about WiFi connections, @virginmedia have just advised me that I should arrange my Zoom meetings for 7am when the traffic is lighter! Been very disappointed with them altogether. Leaving after 15+ years.

  • RapidBI
    Mike Morrison (@RapidBI) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    Trying to talk to get a change to our @virginmedia account. 5 weeks, none of the promised call back & now they close our account without telling us. If this is how they treat long term customer avoid like the plague!! #customerservicefail #broadband

  • PeteBradders
    Pete Bradbury (@PeteBradders) reported

    @virginmedia I have been a customer of yours for 25 years and upon the most recent contract renewal, you denied the package I opted for because it was for 'new customers only' and then went on to charge me with a bill for £124! A colossal 34% increase! Loyalty means nothing!

  • Tutts558
    Mike T (@Tutts558) reported

    @fia I can rewind my Virgin Media to show you Max breaking the rules. Why can't you ? It effects the result, and other teams responses to what you do. You clearly favour him. Terrible decision.

  • Csihra
    Carol-Ann Sihra (@Csihra) reported

    @virginmedia Open a complaint which doesn’t get replied too. Phone calls promising a follow up call which doesn’t happen. Terrible customer service

    @virginmedia WiFi cutting out twice today and in last 2 days. Inconvenient at best. Why? Postcode says no issues..

    @punishablepress It's virgin media and woke staff who work on that awful programme.

    Eden Gem (@edengem) reported

    @virginmedia A pop up message stating virgin has blacklisted my a/c. Gadget rescue has sent a list of complicated instructions saying I’ve sent too many suspicious emails! Not true: I use this for work. Is it O2 causing the issue?

    Di (@defendingdd) reported

    @skytv 24 hours for a Manager call back you piss taking idiots. Don’t ever use Sky anyone. 19 years I’ve been with them and they are treating me like ****. Time to go to.@virginmedia

    @virginmedia I’ve just been advised by your customer team in chat there is no larger remote for the 360. For someone who is sight impaired this is unwelcome news.
