  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I’m hoping to speak to the movers team on WhatsApp. I’ve now had an actual human being the line, who says I’ll be connected soon. But that’s what the messages about have said every time. 🙄 I can book in for 1.30 on Monday, but I’ll cancel if I speak to someone sooner, ofc

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Sorry. I was ******* emailing you my complaint. I am available now, if this is just the five minute process I was promised. I simply just want to get this dealt with…

  • Natterback Mrs Jordan -Johnson (@Natterback) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia the advert offering new customers Superfast Broadband for £20. Is it not right that you take care of your loyal customers first, those that have been with you for 10 years plus. Considering the energy situation it would help.

  • Joe95976011 Joe (@Joe95976011) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia worst customer service ever

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia That’s where I started, two days ago. The live chat sent me over to the WhatsApp service, so I wouldn’t be ******* waiting on my phone etc. I’ve given my details so many times, I practically know my account number by heart now. If you look through the chat history, you can see

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Then please at least have the grace to tell me so. I’ve been a customer so long you’d think I might be due some support, but this last year has just been dreadful. I’ve taken a phone contract I don’t want and been unable to get explanation for billing variances. It’s just ****.

  • twiddlemeister Dave/Давид 🇺🇦 (@twiddlemeister) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia All status checkers say no outage reported, which is rubbish because I know of at least 4 people who have reported issues in this area.

  • twiddlemeister Dave/Давид 🇺🇦 (@twiddlemeister) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia FYI, there’s an SK8 outage since approximately 4pm and you’re not reporting it on your outage checker. Multiple reports around here. Please get someone on it.

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia This the second time I’ve been on hold for an agent today. Just started the third time. I’d also note, in the bottom message, there is no ‘handy link’. There never is. I may have had that message more than ten times now. I just want to tell someone our new address before we move

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Altho, I’m not sure how I would cancel it…

  • BertNashCha Bert Nash (@BertNashCha) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV any help/advice on moving house. Want to stay with Virgin but can't speak to anyone and the home move team have said they've cancelled the policy? 3 days trying to speak to someone.

  • dublinelaine Elaine (@dublinelaine) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia tried all day to get through on phone to discuss end of contract notification. No joy. Left on hold and then cut off. How do we get to speak to someone. Shocking service.

  • BertNashCha Bert Nash (@BertNashCha) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Poor. Very poor. 3 days trying, being on hold, being assured return calls, moving home team have to speak to Netflix team (don't even have it), then being told it's cancelled and being give packaging instructions. Ridiculous, wanted to stay with you.

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia than it’s worth, even after being with your service since it launched.

  • twiddlemeister Dave/Давид 🇺🇦 (@twiddlemeister) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia Yes it’s an outage and not an issue with our modem, or else others wouldn’t be affected. I’m on your business line, and whilst I appreciate that might not be something you can look at directly, it’s clearly an issue that needs resolving for everybody.

  • BertNashCha Bert Nash (@BertNashCha) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Tried that many times. Not working within 3 days. Can you call ME instead to arrange? If not, cancelling service.

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to do this via WhatsApp for three days now. I’m in a never ending loop of getting to the point where I’m referred to a agent, in the queue, & a couple of hours later, I get asked if I’m moving house, and the whole process starts again. It’s has just started again

  • RHJOfficial яєαℓιѕт נανѕтαн 💻🖱 (@RHJOfficial) reported from Oldham, England

    I don't WTF your customer service team are doing, from transferring me to the moving team, then being transferred to cancellation, then put on hold twice, now it looks like I'm being transferred back to the moving team. @virginmedia - shambolic!

  • Natterback Mrs Jordan -Johnson (@Natterback) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia and once again we have no Internet services. This is without doubt a terrible service.

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia And I’m at the limit of my stress capacity. Please let me tell someone our moving date and transfer our services, or cancel my contract. I’m tired of this now. I really am genuinely sick of this, to the point where it’s impacting my health. If you don’t want my custom…

  • spagmuff JB (@spagmuff) reported

    @virginmedia I have no way of contacting you as a potential customer on your website. I place my postcode in your website and it says you "might" be able to give me broadband. Please give me a definitive answer. My DMs are open.

  • chrisdeabreu Chris De Abreu (@chrisdeabreu) reported

    @virginmedia Trying to do some work away from an office and your service is just rubbish. When are you finally fixing it? 😡 💥

  • KEITHYEO YEO (@KEITHYEO) reported

    Have to say, dealing with @virginmedia is painful. They are literally the worst company in the world.

  • RobertB48755665 Robert Barker (@RobertB48755665) reported

    Transferring from Sky to Virgin media was one of the worst decisions I've ever made. I have 4 outstanding issues including VMs breach of their Ofcom agreement and cannot get anyone to speak to me. I have raised formal complaints one of which was closed with a LIE!

  • MikeEvstog Mike Evans (@MikeEvstog) reported

    @virginmedia So use firefox until a fix is applied for chrome?

  • sunnyk123 sunny krishan (@sunnyk123) reported

  • braham_george George Braham (@braham_george) reported

    @virginmedia Well now it has been totally cut off as I gave notice on my 14 day calling off period.... despite being told the service would continue for 7 days...

  • lauracfisher Laura Fisher (@lauracfisher) reported

    @virginmedia My broadband has been intermittent for the last 3 days - I have called your customer service twice and have been hung up on both times. Please contact me back ASAP
