    @soundoftheatom @dec1878 Don’t go to @virginmedia My 78 dads doesn’t work or his broadband. He is deaf and can’t talk to them on the phone but they won’t send an engineer out. Happy to take his money though. They’ll sit up when I cancel it tomorrow

    @virginmedia damn i get its 2am but your internet is Shit. If it wasnt for student accomodation you can bet your ass I'd have changed provider by now..

    Iwan Evans (@iwanevans) reported from Congleton, England

    @virginmedia Almost like you didn't read my original message... Your stock answer STILL doesn't ring true, just repeating the phrase I quoted in my original message to me again doesn't help one little bit

  • PlumbousSkin
    💻gremlins r us💻 (@PlumbousSkin) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Weve had an engineer out, he replaced our router then buggered off. The problems kept happening even with a new router.. its been months of calling & faffing around trying to get this problem fixed & still nothing, its a joke.

    @virginmedia hey guys lost complete internet service in ST3 area, router states: Provisioning state: Offline and internet (Access Denied) 😔

    Great customer services at @virginmedia this morning.Waited 28mins for phone to be answered then to be given a phone number that says there’s no issues. F1 starts in less than an hour #lookingfornewprovider

  • PlumbousSkin
    💻gremlins r us💻 (@PlumbousSkin) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia I experience this problem all the time. Our phones dont connect, our internet randomly drops out, this isnt a new problem. Just a frustrating one. Everytime we 'monitor it for a week then check back' nothing is ever fixed. Its just a bad service in general.

    @Virgin_Victoria @virginmedia 1hr and 10mins later after speaking with CS they have confirmed that they cannot help me with my matter and a ticket has been raised which VM will be in touch with me by SMS within 5 working days. CS loved talking too me when I signed up a month ago. #virginmedia

    @virginmedia how is the admin panel so slow on the hub 3.0, it’s actually terrible and has been since release 😒 I can’t even access my DHCP settings

  • mymodlifecrisis
    sean cosgrove (@mymodlifecrisis) reported from Congleton, England

    @virginmedia I’ll cancel the contract and they will soon be on the phone with threats. Bring it on. I’m ready for you

  • Andreaeday
    Andrea Day (@Andreaeday) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia <sigh> suppose I really shouldn’t have thought that you would provide a good customer service experience based on my experience of my recent dealings. Sad; Virgin Media used to be pretty awesome. Disappointed.

  • Andreaeday
    Andrea Day (@Andreaeday) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia Just also discovered that even though I was told I wouldnt pay for gadget rescue & then I was charged in error. Called last weekend to sort and was told it was sorted, I’ve just been credited £5 rather than the £20 paid for initial set up. I am SO tired of this. Please fix it.

  • mymodlifecrisis
    sean cosgrove (@mymodlifecrisis) reported from Congleton, England

    @virginmedia apparently I have to be at my dads house. Well that would be a long shot as I live 20 miles away and have to work. So they WONT help a 78 year old deaf man. Richard Branson. You’ll be 78 one day and no ****** will help you.

  • Andreaeday
    Andrea Day (@Andreaeday) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia 2/2 when modem mode was suggest I was just told it “turns off WiFi” - no help on how to fix. VPN is common from domestic WiFi - you should be clear and transparent to customers that you don’t support rather than charging for gadget rescue for something that can’t be fixed.

  • mymodlifecrisis
    sean cosgrove (@mymodlifecrisis) reported from Congleton, England

    So @virginmedia don’t understand my 78 year old deaf father cannot call them. They call me as asked out of the blue and tell me they can’t fix the broadband problem, they WONT send an engineer out and I’m getting upset because I’m not hearing what I want. They got that right x

    Oh shit my bad, @virginmedia 's having problems again... what a surprise..

  • adam_bocca
    Adam Bocca (@adam_bocca) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia I signed up and got my install on Saturday the 2nd. I was trying to login to my account via the App and through a webpage with me not hearing anything regarding my first billing process And it's not letting me do so I just get an error message saying that my user does not exist.

  • PeachyBeechy
    cara (@PeachyBeechy) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia shocked and appalled by the rude and aggressive manner of one of your agents just now during an unsolicited sales call.

    Neil evans EVO (@neilevo18781967) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia It was with regards to my services.. When I phoned about it the lack of professionalism was horrendous.. When I mentioned the lack of professionalism I was basically told what is your problem. Awful really

  • shent
    Matt (@shent) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately not, I even gave two phone numbers and an email, just want to know if there is an issue local to me or if it’s a network issue, I can deal with downtime but drop outs and high latency really are frustrating, can’t really have another half a day off work...

    @BorisJohnson @virginmedia @O2 You change the law that enables them to charge and not congratulate them for sticking with how things were. Have you any idea how stupid that is?

  • mbonbs
    Olive (@mbonbs) reported

    @virginmedia I am now being told by a live chat agent that the device is not even in stock and I had to reach out to find this out. How can you promise delivery for a device you don't even have in stock? Appauling customer service

  • RawleyChirs
    Chirs Rawley (@RawleyChirs) reported

    @virginmedia No, nothing resolved. As predicted. I'm still in an online queue but no-one will respond. Farce. I don't have the words to describe how bad @virginmedia is.

  • yelliott6
    Yvonne Elliott (@yelliott6) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I have and have been told the TV and Internet is down till about 7.45pm today. Then they text me a link which doesn't work. Just real poor customer service to be honest.

    @virginmedia could you please add a link to your website that tells customers how to get in touch regarding a deceased customer? No facility to search. No obvious option to phone or email? Its not very helpful. Would appreciate contact details please.

    @NadineDorries @virginmedia @O2 Utter nonsense, you either know it and you’re lying or you don’t, in which case you’re an idiot
