    @virginmedia 2/2 who can I speak to as it was working fine on Friday until the issues that were nothing to do with me happened, so don’t see why I should now pay for a technician

    Edwin Daniel (@EdwinDa18453545) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia @richardbranson @VirginMediaCC unethical practice & worst cust serv.after 50 days of total loss of service and no resolution and taking 52 pounds for that period from me now they are denying compensation as well as refund of monies taken.

    @virginmedia I've tried the online help to no avail.Just going round in circles. How do I get to book a visit by a human being?? 😡

  • ChrisFoxRacing
    Christopher Fox (@ChrisFoxRacing) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Already reported the broadband issues, and it's an issue where estimated fix times keep getting pushed back. With regards to mobile issues, this has been around the same length of time. The only way I've been able to get any connection at all is by switching to 3G

  • Kellywalsh758
    Kelly Walsh (@Kellywalsh758) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Iv asked lots of questions that have gotten me no where. To be hung up on over & over. They gave me a date of 17th December for it to have it installed no reasons as to why nothing explained I just think it’s a joke and the costumer service is dreadful. To have to wait 6 weeks!!

  • AckersStorm
    Chris Atkinson (@AckersStorm) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia when will the broadband issues be fixed properly in my area?

  • SiManM20
    Simon Manning 🇪🇺 - SiManM20@mstdn.uk (@SiManM20) reported from Manchester, England

    @nrgloz @virginmedia Your paying 75% of what we are for 35% of the d/speed there. Neighbour has just switched to Brsk - it’s full #fttp so 1Gb both up/down rather than the 52Mb UL Virgin offer via DOCSIS. £40pm

    @virginmedia I’ve just connected a new router for faster speeds and it isn’t working. I’ve called up and your customer services person who told me contradictory information, put me on hold and then hung up on me.

  • Slt4K
    SLT4K 👨🏻‍💻 🇬🇧 (@Slt4K) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia / Super disappointed after calling to renew my contract and as an existing customer you can’t offer anything half as good as a new customer. Shocking customer retention strategy 🤯

  • _AdamGardiner
    Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia I also don’t need to monitor the quality of my broadband, I already know it’s awful. I don’t understand how that would help.

  • johnsonhomes2
    johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Her phone like works at the moment because she has power but not in a power cut. This is one of the issues set out in the email which VM requested I send on Wednesday

  • sharper76
    Smyth Harper 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia In the orders and appointments section it says there are none. The text I have received confirming the appointment and threatening me with a £25 fine is different to the one offered to me by your customer services.

  • pillbo01
    kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    I have virgin media but they don’t have a Customer service that you can speak to. Or email I’ve had a problem for over a month since an engineer messed about in the box in the street. Picture on tv keeps pixilated.

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia Can you check that I will be receiving a credit on my next bill as it has been down since Friday afternoon and I don’t think it will be fixed by 12pm today, I think that time will get changed again.

  • roslers_vest
    Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia network down again in Heywood appalling lack of service yet again

  • Laura_May_Ness
    Laura May (@Laura_May_Ness) reported from Manchester, England

    Hi @virginmedia I have just moved into a new apartment where Wi-Fi is included. I have registered as a resident and I have received a pre-contract email but no account number and I am unable to connect to the Internet. Can you help me set things up?

  • mark001282
    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia you have caused me nothing but hassle for months now. Your customer service team are completely useless.

  • mark001282
    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia As I say. I don't like publicly shaming a company that was once good. But your customer service is an absolute disgrace

  • roslers_vest
    Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia Submitting a complaint will probably result in an apology at best. Given I pay £1k per annum for an unreliable service it’s time to look for an alternative provider who can offer a more satisfactory customer experience

  • ScottWLFord
    Scott W L Ford (TICK) (@ScottWLFord) reported

    @virginmedia - what are you playing at? My TiVo not working! Intermittence signal problem went on week this week! Now my new 360 thingy remote I got it from start of this week. Only to find out I had to order a 360 box it’ll take a week or so? Had enough now.

  • KeithGill28

    @virginmedia @keithapearson It’s not just Keith’s that feel this way it’s the whole country your customer service is up there with Starmer’s job vetting.

  • pepetideo
    CrankyGeek (@pepetideo) reported from Oxford, England

    You only know how sitty a service provider relly is when something goes wrong. Was with @virginmedia for over 5 years. Now that i decided to leave they have charged me for 2 months with me already with another provider. After complaining they take 2 months to refund you and now that i sent them their router they somehow misplaced it and charged me 40 quid saying i didnt send it (even thought i had a call last week where i gave them the receipt) If you are their customer.. Get out as soon as possible and remember to block the direct debits. They cannot be trusted with your money.

    @virginmedia terrible customer service, will be leaving after being a loyal 10 year customer.

  • IrvineSparrow
    Irvine sparrow (@IrvineSparrow) reported

    @virginmedia so I’m trying to cancel my contract and I’m speaking to Soyinka Sheffield but their English is so bad I can hardly understand them. Apparently she is the only person that can deal with me. Thank god I’m leaving ( well I hope I am ) !!

  • rabtaylor1981
    Robert Taylor (@rabtaylor1981) reported

    @virginmedia Just fyi, 2 days of back and forth on DMs now, waiting hours for replies, and still nowhere! 2 more days paying for a service that doesn't work and I can't and don't use!

  • Lukeytoons
    Luke Hayes (@Lukeytoons) reported

    Why can't you cancel a contract with @virginmedia like you can a subscription service. I.e you select you want to cancel and from the contract end date you lose service. Keep being told i need to phone 30 days before #cancel #contract

  • soapyrct
    Sean Pearson (@soapyrct) reported

    @virginmedia @DjmarkieT Why do you always ask people to DM you? You will just say there is nothing you can do so call the call centre. Also why is your service so bad? You are genuinely the worst company I have ever dealt with!
