  • mikelynch7 mike lynch (@mikelynch7) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia presenting barriers to cancelling after contract has expired! Appropriate notice provided. On hold for 40 minutes to get through told to call back! Barriers to cancelling, especially where a customer could be financially vulnerable is wrong! Great business practices

  • Tinkerbellkimmy KimSmith⛳🧘‍♀️ (@Tinkerbellkimmy) reported from Risley, England

    @virginmedia Hello I spoke to retentions yesterday and my contract is going down to 78.00 something but havent had an email from you with the new details im not having any luck with online chat noone responded

  • LeanintoDesign John Grimshaw (@LeanintoDesign) reported from Oldham, England

    @fittdr @virginmedia I'm hearing good things about @Plusnet on the customer service side, but it's the TiVo I'd miss, we are seriously considering @NOWTV broadband and TV as we already use them for sky movies but need to investigate if we (the wife) can watch @emmerdale and @LoveIsland 🤣🤣

  • ImLauraa Laura Donnellan (@ImLauraa) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Well we don’t have a tracking number and we haven’t heard anything back since we returned the faulty phone. We also tried the text messaging service but also takes ages to get a reply.

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia OK I am getting mad 🤬🤬🤬 This has been my problem I CANNOT GET THROUGH TO A HUMAN BEING. Everything is automated. When I try to call it goes round the houses and then the call drops. #lostacustomer #igiveup

  • BrightLitegames BrightLightGames (@BrightLitegames) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Incident report, sorted now, 3 hours later. A mornings work lost.

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I have tried EVERYTHING to speak to a human however the automated rubbish doesn’t let me get there. It just tells me there is a problem that you are trying to fix. Clearly I am aware there is a problem and has been for sometime I have done all usual diagnostics my end

  • LeanintoDesign John Grimshaw (@LeanintoDesign) reported from Oldham, England

    @RischDesigns @fittdr @virginmedia @Plusnet @NOWTV @emmerdale @LoveIsland Thanks for the advice both you and @ASBO_Allstar have said a similar thing so I guess it's a negotiation down in price with a new router to fix @virginmedia crap hardware.

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @blackheartorch @virginmedia 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 is all I have to say right now. Just want to talk to a human and not deal with an automated service x

  • sazzlepants76 Sarah Owens (@sazzlepants76) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia 5 sets of staff been to my property now (my broadband install date is today). 30 mins waiting on the phone and still no resolution. Now my pavements being dug up! I’ve lost faith already 🙈

  • MikeM0309 Mike Astro Mckenna (@MikeM0309) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Still the same. Can't sign in on your website.

  • LeanintoDesign John Grimshaw (@LeanintoDesign) reported from Oldham, England

    @RischDesigns @fittdr @virginmedia @Plusnet @NOWTV @emmerdale @LoveIsland @ASBO_Allstar I'm on 350 which is great but the router let's it down, the old superhub2 had much better firmware and an easier UI.

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    Dear @virginmedia I don’t want an automated response, I want a solution. I have had intermittent internet access for 4 WEEKS and have had ENOUGH. I want to speak to a human being, can I have a number to complain to please #crapservice

  • lorraineayrton Lorraine Ayrton (@lorraineayrton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Estimated fix time, it’s been going on for 4+ weeks and yes that is the number I am calling. It reset everything and did tests and currently running HOWEVER the next drop will be 5pmish as per the norm. It last went off at 14:53. I need a human being & cant speak to one

  • MrKarlEdgar Karl (@MrKarlEdgar) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia It's over both, if reset my box and it's back on but DEAD SLOW like it barly loads pages

  • jameze1992 James Marshall (@jameze1992) reported from Oldham, England

    Good grief.. First experience with @virginmedia was like pulling teeth. They'll need to sort their customer service out FAST before other providers catch up with speed 😂😂

  • RubbermanPaul Paul Barton (@RubbermanPaul) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia well come home from working away on Friday with a lot of emails to reply to. To discover my router is broken wife phoned up Friday afternoon customer service said they would send one out by Monday shocking service I’m out of contract so will look elsewhere 😡😡😡

  • MikeM0309 Mike Astro Mckenna (@MikeM0309) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia For days now I have been trying to sign in to my account to no avail, so let me say if you have not sorted this problem soon then I will NOT be paying you, I will NOT be contacting you and I will NOT be answering any calls from you. I'm sick and tired of this SHIT.

  • ajayparekh68 Ajay Parekh (@ajayparekh68) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia absolutely appalling service, 39min and counting trying to close an account I haven’t used for three months, on hold for 11min now.

  • mikelynch7 mike lynch (@mikelynch7) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia It was my partner who tried calling. She eventually got through but received no help at all. We’ve emailed Tom Mockeridge tonight so hopefully this will go through the executive complaints process

    . @virginmedia What’s the issue with your email services today pls? Seen other people are having issues too. Cant receive/send for the past few hours. Can’t access service status checker either and yes before you ask this is across multiple devices.

  • lucy_clark70 Lucy Clark (@lucy_clark70) reported

    @virginmedia as the service update isn't working on your website, I can't check if there's an outage in my area (E17, London). Certainly seems that way as no Internet...

  • AmyHeppi Amy Heppingstall (@AmyHeppi) reported

    @virginmedia What for 21 days? I have an intermittent fault but surely after 7 days of monitoring this you should send someone out? You have left me for 3 weeks, terrible customer service I am now complaining to the ombudsman and looking to change wifi providers and end my contract with you

  • naomi_de_peeved Naomi de Peeved (@naomi_de_peeved) reported

    @virginmedia @ODEONCinemas @virginmedia I cancelled my contract with you and you keep billing me, threatening me with bailiffs. Your customer services say I will continue to be billed until they take 30 DAYS to check the call records. How is this conscionable?!

  • Grainne_Moran Gráinne Moran (@Grainne_Moran) reported

    Hi @virginmedia can anyone help me with an issue with my tv services please. Spoke to an agent who couldn’t help. My virgin media account is telling me I don’t have TV services with you when I do. Agent couldn’t let me speak to anyone about the issue either.

  • andyfilby andy filby (@andyfilby) reported

    @virginmedia And would like to use you guys and this is the problem, the fraudulent accounts are still within the virgin matrix and have been told that someone ftom virgin needs to call me to verify its me wanting the phone with u, but no one calls me

  • hhhhhggggjkkn1 jjjn (@hhhhhggggjkkn1) reported

    @virginmedia anyone else’s wifi down in N11 area north London? Can virgin media please check if there’s a outage
