  • AndyT___ Andy Thompson (@AndyT___) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Your extremely bad service. Who can I speak to please? I was on to your customer service team fro 2 hours yesterday and no one seems to know what they’re doing. Someone was supposed to call me back at 10am this morning but that’s not happened either. Whole thing is a car crash.

  • brownhill76 Neil Brownhill (@brownhill76) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Hi @virginmedia can you get someone to contact me as your customer service phone line has now hung up on me after over an hour because they couldn’t be bothered to help or fix my issue #virginmedia #customerexperience

  • iamnickjh Nick (@iamnickjh) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia hi I never officially confirmed that I wanted my account closing but you're contacting me to collect my router. Please advise.

  • brownhill76 Neil Brownhill (@brownhill76) reported from Sale, England

    @AsSowter @virginmedia I said that to them , I want rebate for days without but falls on deaf ears , just gonna cancel with these as they still haven’t replied to me. @virginmedia

  • iamnickjh Nick (@iamnickjh) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Your complaints department are incredibly unhelpful and just send auto responses. It's impossible to speak to a manager and your staff are obstructive and rude

  • eccygem Gem (@eccygem) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia is there an issue in Radcliffe??? WiFi is down and it keeps saying incorrect password 😩

  • missdepotts Danielle (@missdepotts) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia Nope - I’ve reset, moved the modem, moved the consoles, rang your customer service team - who quite frankly, didnt want to know and advised we bought a booster, for the router thats in the SAME ROOM AS OUR CONSOLES. Furious.

  • chrissy__w Chrissie (@chrissy__w) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia cannot believe that my internet is down again, been down since early this morning. 2nd time in 3 days. Laying out a lot of money for mega fast broadband that has nothing but issues!

  • 19865b #GlazersOut (@19865b) reported from Manchester, England

    @zeeshanqamar262 @virginmedia ******* **** them.. leave them lol, did nothing for me until I handed my notice

  • MJ_Humphries Martin Humphries (@MJ_Humphries) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @virginmedia No, there's nothing to discuss. You have broken your terms and conditions by not sending the money you owe. Just send the cheques.

  • mrsparto claire partington (@mrsparto) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia No internet TV or phone again for the 3rd time this week!!! Can't speak to an actual person @virginmedia Shockingly bad service!!!

  • missdepotts Danielle (@missdepotts) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    And even better - my ping is higher than mount Everest & and the lag is throwing me back to 2008! But apparently there’s nothing wrong… well why would i waste my time ringing if there isnt a problem? @virginmedia

  • mrsparto claire partington (@mrsparto) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia Done this already, and did it last time. Was still without for hours! Apparently next update is 17:00 for today's area outage. Happening far too often this.

  • MJ_Humphries Martin Humphries (@MJ_Humphries) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @virginmedia I understand you can't take a request. Can you pass this on to customer service, and to someone with the authority to issue cheques?

  • missdepotts Danielle (@missdepotts) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia Believe me - we’ve spent £30 ethernet cables and it didnt work. We have a engineer coming out on monday so been told to mention it the mess thats been made on the wall. Could it be a problem with the new locator?

  • DavidWildJnr David (@DavidWildJnr) reported from Milnrow, England

    @virginmedia This is not a fix, this is the ‘fob off’ you have been giving customers for the last 48 hours. This is an a forum and not visible immediately. DO BETTER.

  • DavidWildJnr David (@DavidWildJnr) reported from Milnrow, England

    @virginmedia Why does you web page report ‘No Known Issues’ ? when obviously you have a massive issue with your email servers.

  • MJ_Humphries Martin Humphries (@MJ_Humphries) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @virginmedia But you will appreciate that I have zero confidence that you will resolve the issue as a web chat is no different to the numerous other phone calls we have made.

  • brownhill76 Neil Brownhill (@brownhill76) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia I have tv service fault C133. Done your online check it says call you. I call you, automated tells me an texts me link to do online check which tells me to call you.. repeat.. in a loop an now been sat on phone waiting 38mins for someone to answe

  • sallyshaw5 Sally Shaw 🐝🐝 (@sallyshaw5) reported from Stockport, England

    Hey @virginmedia got a problem! My @virginmedia.com email address won’t work & I can’t get into my mobile account because you’ve sent an email to, yes, the non functioning account! Help please!

    @virginmedia Oh and guess what happened just after replying to you? Your internet stopped working again for the 100th times, only today. Yet, you still don’t do anything for me apart from booking the technician. Horrible customer service!!
