  • tishy_k TishyK (@tishy_k) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia The automated message still says repairs are ongoing. The same message for the past 3 days, yet I received a text earlier that the issue was rectified.

  • DanDaintry Dan Daintry (@DanDaintry) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia your customer service centre needs to look after its customers better. Being called a liar when I have emails #poorcustomerservice

  • rebeccaartMCR RebeccaArtManchester (@rebeccaartMCR) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia Following further unsuccessful attempts to gain information on when our next installation date is likely to be, I’ve submitted a formal complaint to @Ofcom Not the greatest of starts. Who said switching was easy ... #VirginMedia

  • RaheemaValera Raheema Valera (@RaheemaValera) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Did it on 10/10...nothing showed, called again 17/10 and yes it finally showed online but till this date it still isnt actioned as no new bill has been generated either. Told not to pay and now arrears and bad mark on cred file.

  • kevnsuz Kevin (@kevnsuz) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia constant broadband issues and tried to phone only to wait for ages then cut off

  • tishy_k TishyK (@tishy_k) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia As always, the test says there are no issues. Been waiting 10 minutes now to speak to someone in person now!

  • RaheemaValera Raheema Valera (@RaheemaValera) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Thankyou but I will wait for an outcome through resolver. I've spoken to your customer care team numerous times and faced with incompetence each time and tried the chat and had no response.

  • tishy_k TishyK (@tishy_k) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia I finally spoke to someone and the issue may not be resolved fully until the 18th apparently. Not sure why I received a text to say the matter was resolved then!

  • rebeccaartMCR RebeccaArtManchester (@rebeccaartMCR) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia Guys, you’ve done the hard work clearing the mess under the pavements. All your teams now have to do is run the cable through connecting us to the hub down the street.

  • tishy_k TishyK (@tishy_k) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia That link is no help at all, as it says no issues. I've just rung VM for the 7th time today and the automated message says there is an issue for my postcode and they are dealing with it. The same message as yesterday and the day before!

  • greydogphoto Graham Douglas 🇪🇺🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🐝 (@greydogphoto) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia No "chat" options on that link that I could see. Status is showing as having a problem, so it's not my kit. Signal is too poor for me to use phone for chatting, anyway. Let's see if things clear up soon...

  • shazmall sharron (@shazmall) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia I can see the vans outside my house, so i know they are working on it. It just never stops, always have trouble with virgin media, its becoming a joke now

  • juiceterry87 Greg R (@juiceterry87) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I've yet again had no broadband for hours now. Please confirm when this problem will be fixed.

  • DanDaintry Dan Daintry (@DanDaintry) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia horrific service, as a new customer to not receive what was promised by a sales agent and to be told I need to pay for the additional services #poorcustomerservice

  • RaheemaValera Raheema Valera (@RaheemaValera) reported from Urmston, England

    So no surprise the incompetence of @virginmedia at resolving a simple issue...downgrading my package. Notified them on 10/10....after over 6 phone calls, incompetent staff, non existent manager call backs n collections calls.....official Resolver complaint done! @MoneyTelegraph

  • SimonCHarding Simon Harding (@SimonCHarding) reported from Marple, England

    @virginmedia in the last week since I have asked to cancel broadband I have had 5 abandoned calls from numbers which seem to be from you 08000526736 and 0345451098. Sort out your autodialler settings it is frustrating to have you hang up on answer. Complaint made to @Ofcom

  • marzipanpanda Marzipanpanda (@marzipanpanda) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia been having issues with signal on my virgin mobile phone all week, read that it was suposed to have been resolved yesterday but still having intermittent issues this morning. No wonder I am rolling over 10GB of data when I don't get an opportunity to use it 😡

  • RebeccaHRM Rebecca HRM (@RebeccaHRM) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia All the problems were ironed out. Yesterday was the big day. We waited but nothing, not even a call or email to explain why the installation team didn’t turn up.

  • CancerGolf CLIC SARGENT Charity Golf Day (@CancerGolf) reported from Rochdale, England

    Hey @virginmedia guess what, you keep putting the phone down on me when I’m trying to discuss the outstanding monies you owe me 🤔

  • Lupoleejackson Lupo#⃣4⃣5⃣ (@Lupoleejackson) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Must be one hell of an issue, it’s been going on for two weeks.

    @virginmedia After maintenance work in my postcode area, I now have no broadband service. Advice please?

  • smillins1 shane millins (@smillins1) reported

    @virginmedia They never used to call, but over the past 2 weeks they’ve not left me alone, I never opted in

  • stuartctaylor Spooky Taylor 🎃 🦇 💀 (@stuartctaylor) reported

    @virginmedia @MaddieMayNot Ah, the good old 'working from home? Not our problem' clause

  • KevinRathbone15 Kevin Rathbone (@KevinRathbone15) reported

    @virginmedia total loss of service, caused by poor work from so called technicians, it's been 9 days now, I'm told to wait another 9 days. An absolute terrible way to treat customers.

  • chrisphilips Chris Philips (@chrisphilips) reported

    Congrats @virginmedia, an ISP that switches you off for over 7 hours, twice this week to "bring you a better service". Do it at 1am you useless clowns. **** off.

  • stuartctaylor Spooky Taylor 🎃 🦇 💀 (@stuartctaylor) reported

    @virginmedia So that number, answered with 'Neil speaking', couldn't help, so he put me through to the offshore call centre, who couldn't help, and then cut me off while transferring. Meanwhile your message now says 23.30 approx. for a fix. Any practical ideas?

  • WhyNotts_ Jim Sinclair (@WhyNotts_) reported

    @virginmedia Hi It's all programmes I've tried to date The box I have is the replacement one installed last Friday following issues with the previous box re: not updating schedule, etc

  • stubat_ stubat (@stubat_) reported

    @virginmedia No it still says there's no issues on the service status thing, it has been "okay" all day and then has JUST started doing the same thing it did yesterday. Cutting off multiple times every few minutes and then immediately coming back. I can't work with it being like this.

  • nic0tin3add1ct razal, sixteen (@nic0tin3add1ct) reported

    @virginmedia literally i have no wifi or anything like are services down or something in oldham?

  • KermitKlien Kermit Klein 💎 (@KermitKlien) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah, you can stop outsourcing your call centre, get your engineers to turn up for booked appointments and refund the £35 you took off me this week after being with you 17 years that a new customer would get for free. Will you do that?
