    David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    @nickleeland @virginmedia I asked to speak to someone that could help and got “my supervisor is on 14 day isolation”. Ok put him on the phone as I’m guessing he can work from home? Computer says no! Poor poor service!

  • HumpsSnr
    Humps Snr (@HumpsSnr) reported from Stockport, England

    Over 3 hours and counting on the phone to @virginmedia , spoken to 5 different people and put on hold for the 6th time now. Issue yet to be resolved 🤬🤬🤬 #vpoorcustomerservice #timeforachange

    @virginmedia is the worst for speaking to an actually person🤯 adding packages unauthorised then making the bill nearly double.. jokers

  • guy140771
    The Real Guy Gardner FBPE (@guy140771) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply. Your @virginmedia text bot clearly stated your aim for a human to ring me back within 4 hours - it’s now over 120 hours. May I suggest you update your message, also can you confirm I’ll receive the promised phone call or should I cancel my subscription?

  • HumpsSnr
    Humps Snr (@HumpsSnr) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for your response. I have submitted a complaint, although I’ve no response to that either. Our internet is shocking and we’ve got a temp fix outside which needs to be made permanent from 4 wks ago. Paying a lot for nothing currently

  • guy140771
    The Real Guy Gardner FBPE (@guy140771) reported from Salford, England

    So @virginmedia it’s now 48 hours I’ve been waiting in this queue for a call back. I’d appreciate a response before I cancel my package!

  • Mug_UK
    Mike Mee #FBPE (@Mug_UK) reported from Stockport, England

    @PThexton @virginmedia They closed down the Stockport branch too. Maybe there's a "why do I have to pay for a phone line" page within their FAQs ...

  • HumpsSnr
    Humps Snr (@HumpsSnr) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia What details do you require in any text I send?? Seems a bit odd considering you should already have my complaint and my details 🤔 we’ve established I don’t have a ref number, so further info will assist??

  • bizzarebird
    BBird (@bizzarebird) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia what's the best way to report a fault without having to go to offshore fault peeps and go through off the turn off switch on again? My WiFi is horrific, and only affects WiFi intermittent service and it disables. Done all the usuals it's knackered WiFi on router.

  • DavidLaney
    ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia It’s NOT an upgrade which I made clear on the phone. Again, no mention of this being the issue.

  • bizzarebird
    BBird (@bizzarebird) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia No i can't see it, scan says no issues as the issue is only with WiFi. It's down again its insane. Doing full reset to factory setting see if that helps. But no link to report fault on my account

  • HumpsSnr
    Humps Snr (@HumpsSnr) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia I don’t. When I submitted the complaint (2nd) I chose the telephone call option, using my home number. I haven’t received any call to date!!

  • DavidLaney
    ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Another issue is if I were to get a phone call in a weeks time I cannot just stop the job I do to answer it. Where will we be then? Having worked for Virgin I know exactly what’s going to happen. This won’t get sorted until my new bill gets paid for services I don’t want ....

  • tonyj01
    Tony Jacobs (@tonyj01) reported from Manchester, England

    @DawnBly68 @MartinSLewis @virginmedia They make more money with their present commercial stance - loyalty is NOT valued, the new customer is king. So become a new customer.

  • guy140771
    The Real Guy Gardner FBPE (@guy140771) reported from Salford, England

    @harrisonmp They wrote to me about my complaint saying they’d been trying to contact me, they haven’t unless they’re still using the wrong mobile number which I’ve informed them about. We’ll ignore the fact that my landline is with them. I just wish someone @virginmedia would take ownership

  • DavidLaney
    ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    Hey @virginmedia On the phone to your customer service for 80 minutes in total now and counting. Been put on hold for 30 minutes of that. Losing will to live! Pound to a penny you lot cut me off in a minute......

  • WrenJohn
    John Wren (@WrenJohn) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Beyond belief since the link provided doesn’t work. I’m sorry but @virginmedia is a failing company with poor technology. I could never recommend them to anyone, Hub 4 failed again today, so unreliable it’s a joke

  • DavidLaney
    ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Bet you anything they won’t I’m sorry to say. Never known a change in contract to take a week. Normally done there and then on the phone. The lady didn’t mention anything about this being the case. What now? I’m not waiting a week I’m afraid.

  • JiriKPinnock
    J K P (@JiriKPinnock) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Trying to get some help, on the phone over 30mins. My new bill was overcharged, pls fix it ASAP.

  • Daveyb1974
    David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    Great work from @virginmedia, your contract has expired, we want you to stay as a customer, we’ll give you the best deal out there! Give them a call, sorry can’t help, you’re on the best package, but we want to charge you £40 a month more than a new customer! #shitshow

  • MyPhoenixFTA
    PhoenixFTA ∆ truly 3.5% 🇪🇺🇩🇪🌍 FBPE (@MyPhoenixFTA) reported

    @virginmedia I don't know anymore where to even start. My complaint letter to @CISASUK is growing with each interaction. Here's an easy one: don't have agents ever directing these words towards a customer "you are lying. You are a liar." What the actual F@+£????

  • Steveo111078
    Steveo (@Steveo111078) reported

    @virginmedia what's up with your mobile data? Connected to 4g full reception yet it's like dial up waiting on pages to load never used to have this problem

    @virginmedia virgin media are cutting my 82 year mother who lives alone phone off. Customer for as long as virgin media has existed. No point ring customer service as they are waste of time and the call backs I am meant to get never happen

    @virginmedia there's intermittent signal issues in my area, I've followed your steps online to ensure that it isn't my hub. Now I can't connect to the Internet at all. How am I meant to work from home today? This is the 3rd time in two weeks 🥲🥲
