  • cpiyush Piyush Chechani (@cpiyush) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia “Speak to billing team” - but how? Brings me back to my original issue - why can’t we have more help on call centres?

  • simonandrebecca Simon Nadler (@simonandrebecca) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia trying to register an account on Virgin Mobile app so that I can provide a PAC code to you but don’t have an answer to a security question and have never set one up so I’m calling you as requested but all of your call centres are closed? 🤯 Not great service!

  • cpiyush Piyush Chechani (@cpiyush) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia As I mentioned earlier, i tried calling multiple times with wait time between 60-120 mins and got no response back. Tried reaching out on twitter and got no response. The complaint is not resolved from my side at least, not surr of that closed on your end.

  • Airhairdressing AirHairdressing.com (@Airhairdressing) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia I need for my wife to be able to speak to support when I’m not at home. Can this be done on my account from home? Thank you.

  • jackthesticks Jack Mitchell (@jackthesticks) reported from Stockport, England

  • thatqueenliv 🐝 oLiViA 🐝 (@thatqueenliv) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia why is virgin down in Salford?! WiFi is not working!

  • MarpleLeaf Michael Taylor (@MarpleLeaf) reported from Marple, England

    @virginmedia Eventually, but my point is this: change your message. Clearly you can’t help people over the phone after 5pm. Your guidance on the website is misleading. Also, your engineers are great.

  • IrafanO IrafanO (@IrafanO) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia my broadband has gone down every day this week. This is getting ridiculous.

  • 74gilly workinklassmanc (@74gilly) reported from Urmston, England

  • ManAviation1107 Adam Nadeem (@ManAviation1107) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @endaburke81 @virginmedia I had an awful experience with them! Switched over to BT as soon as the contract ended and not had an issue since! Not to mention 180Mbps+ speeds!

    @virginmedia has just gone down in Salford (again). Others having this issue?

  • danpwright Dan Wright (@danpwright) reported from Manchester, England

    Had it with the so called “Superhub” from @virginmedia. Google Nest WiFi ordered. The service is great - the router is terrible.

  • Michael_Gleeson Michael Gleeson (@Michael_Gleeson) reported from Bolton, England

    .@virginmedia is getting unbearably bad now. I’m sick to death of having to pay for extra data on my phone.

  • MrsRed1973 zoe (@MrsRed1973) reported from Salford, England

  • KenBailey143 Ken Bailey (@KenBailey143) reported

    @4Viewers @All4 @virginmedia Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. For no apparent reason it is working today. The service must have been having the weekend off! Cheers

  • elliotbeken elliot beken (@elliotbeken) reported

    @virginmedia Its also worth mentioning the team were completely unaware of issues experienced last week via F010288623. There was no information at all apparently!

  • allen_luke98 Luke (@allen_luke98) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia am still having issues after date of issue fixed pushed back again. I am without internet access, call handler has just ended call after saying there is nothing more virgin can do. I would really like to resolve this issue but feel stuck. Please help

  • MikeAppo Mike Appo (@MikeAppo) reported

    @virginmedia Also it's all automated 1 message says there is an issue and another message says there are no issues in my area, how on earth do I speak to a person to sort this

  • tssivakumar tssivakumar (@tssivakumar) reported

    @virginmedia I have spoken, and they are unable to help me. Please can someone from escalations team contact?

  • SunnyHair5 Sunny Hair (@SunnyHair5) reported

    @virginmedia the most awful service ever, watch out for increased pricing and when you speak to the care team they haven’t a clue what they are talking about and increase your bill without telling you. Saying it increased but they have no accurate data

  • MattRyd38989751 Matt Ryder (@MattRyd38989751) reported

    @virginmedia total **** show. House move in Jan, you decided to create a new account for me and increase my bill by £26 for fun. Been told 11 yes ELEVEN times it’ll be sorted and it never is, now I refuse to pay 2 months of arrears you’ve cut me and I can’t call through.

  • Rich8372 Rich (@Rich8372) reported

    @virginmedia Hi my price is going and I'm free to leave because of this. Am I required to cancel or can I just switch?

  • yellowman69 Yellowman (@yellowman69) reported

    @virginmedia I mean, I'm not sure what is classified as good customer service @virginmedia over there. But if this is the standard you're working to, then I think you have it badly wrong.

  • WolfTable TableTopWolf (@WolfTable) reported

    @craftymillie @virginmedia They tried that with us, phone up, complain and threaten to leave, you need to be brave enough to go through with it just encase, but ours is now down to 35 quid for 12 months then it goes up to 45 next april, then it will be 60 again in 2 years, cancel time again
