    @virginmedia I need to quit now this is taking the pi$$, I'm not interested in your fast speeds anymore, not going to phone your support and wait for an hour to be told you don't support Xbox or any console when that is what you should be about "BROADBAND PROVIDER" it's in the title...

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Had to wait on phone for 1 hour tonight to get the rudest support ever, I had to hang up on her, seriously garbage hub 3 for gaming, I need to quit @virginmedia get an internet that supports console gaming, unlike this crap.👎👎

  • Eurovisioned Alec Parkin (@Eurovisioned) reported from Manchester, England

    Two months to respond to my complaint @virginmedia. Two whole months. Still no resolution. Shameful.

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia No clue. Tried escalating a complaint with you about 30 times over the past 2 years and you keep ignoring me.

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just asked for all calls relating to my complaint over the past two years. You said no. So now I do a complaint against you with ico. I believe you will get a fine. Sorry.

  • SalfordHydro Dr Neil Entwistle (@SalfordHydro) reported from Salford, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I’ve moved house & your website confirmed I can have your services however when the installer came he said we need to get the local neighbours to use “cable my street” on internet. However we can’t because your website says we have it. Catch 22! Help please.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Absolute lag every game every night, and it's getting worse, I tried to explain to the support lady on my PC I get 350mbps on my console I get 600mbps something not right there, it took me 1 hour to get through to support on the phone and I'm not being spoken to like that!!!

  • baabaa89 Victoria. 🐝 (@baabaa89) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia appalled at the service I’m currently receiving from your customer service rep on the phone. If she calls me “m’am” one more time, I might cry. Her attitude stinks.

  • markfrobi Mark Robinson (@markfrobi) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is abysmal. I am fed up of chatting to a robot or someone in india repeatedly asking me the same questions and getting absolutely nowhere. 3 engineer visits, many phonecalls, online chats (some not even answered) and still got nowhere.

  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Virgin generously said if I pay nearly £150 I can leave! I declined.. although i would have the £2 offered as compensation but I think I'll spend that on half a starbucks. I'll wait till my contract is up & im free. sky from what i can gather will be gaining shit loads of peeps!

  • heytc1964 Tim Coulman (@heytc1964) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia I’ve registered my issues via the complaints facility online and will need a call at some point to discuss and resolve them

  • Jenny_Whitham Jenny Whitham (@Jenny_Whitham) reported from Manchester, England

    I’m stressed, I’m tired and about to have an operation. @virginmedia are pushing me over the edge with their appalling customer service and general money grabbing disgusting ways. I made my complaint over a week ago, now you’re just ***************.

  • TinmanPG Gerry Hattrick (@TinmanPG) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been on the phone for 52 mins and have been put through to the wrong department three times! Terrible service,

  • CarlitosGirl Gail (GiGi) Frampton (@CarlitosGirl) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia It's pretty much a long story so would be better to talk. New customer on the pay nothing for 3 months deal. My dad was taken seriously ill and given a month to live. I asked to cancel in cooling off period. Emailed, tried to call. Spoke to Rashid the guy on my doorstep. Nothing.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Wired, wireless, modem, mode, ports open, dmz, upnp, open nat, every thing right, but the router he support said last night the router might be incompatible and that isn't a good sign.

  • Samueltennant Sam Tennant (@Samueltennant) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia UK Sales say 1 month extension reconnection impossible, but offshore call centres said yes but this has not happened yet. House moves are stressful. Please help.

  • craigawilliams Craig Williams (@craigawilliams) reported from Sale, England

    @NuclearJelly @BeccaLock2 @virginmedia @SkyUK In the interest of balance. Been with them for about 15 years and never had an issue

  • CarlitosGirl Gail (GiGi) Frampton (@CarlitosGirl) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I asked Rashid to cancel for me he said he would delay. He didn't. I haven't installed or used and in no state due to a bereavement to sort this out. Even your no reply email service replied to me so I have a date. Don't think I have signed a DD agreement or the contract.

  • Samueltennant Sam Tennant (@Samueltennant) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia VERY happy customer for eight years, only disconnecting as not available and new address but the last 24hrs have been a nightmare. The offshore call centres simply seem to have no facility to understand something like this which is off script. 1/2

  • GreenDolphin14 Green Dolphin (@GreenDolphin14) reported

    @seis_matters @virginmedia It’s cos they’re fed up of all the “report fault” emails they get when the service goes down, again!

  • Mark13590502 Mark (@Mark13590502) reported

    @virginmedia Hi Virgin, I’ve been trying to get through to someone that can help. My mother’s telephone line no longer works and she’s been unable to call anyone since Monday. She’s also vulnerable and we can’t get anyone at Virgin to sort this out. Could you please DM me

  • Ester_Laura83 ester83 (@Ester_Laura83) reported

    @virginmedia If I run diagnostics via the website it says no issues detected. I called 4th June to be told because there was an area issue no diagnostics could be run until after 10th June when that should be fixed. I called today, the call handler apparently did some testing 2/

  • JayInniss1 Jay Inniss (@JayInniss1) reported

    @virginmedia I just had the most unhelpful call to your customer services as I am having issues and the website said replace hub #terribleservice Helen is the new Karen

  • tomwalsh77 Tom Walsh (@tomwalsh77) reported

    @virginmedia Your customer support is shocking. 45 minutes I’ve been chatting with one of your agents to change my primary contact number and it’s still not done.

  • VaneAlabaster Pro Brow Training Academy (@VaneAlabaster) reported

    @virginmedia It's well reported everyone in br2 has had the same problems day in day out for the last month. Where can I seek compensation for this?

  • unabawn Una Bawn 💙 (@unabawn) reported

    @virginmedia Then what is the point of this service? You really need to think about how you engage with people who are going through a traumatic experience. No one told me this last night!!!

  • kapeseven kape 74 (@kapeseven) reported

    @jayrff @virginmedia Nothin can fix that now its probs ur area when my nan got the best wifi with everything she still had problems

  • OpFreedom316 VeganForLife (@OpFreedom316) reported

  • cweditorial Catherine Walsh (@cweditorial) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is SHAMEFUL. I recently closed my account and you sent me a cheque (in 2021!) that I can't pay in as I'm currently abroad. Kindly contact me to discuss, as your representative ended my phone call.
