  • markdean5413 mark dean (@markdean5413) reported from Bury, England

    So had no internet now for 36 hours😡lisa cannot work from home have to rely on 4G for everything very poor @virginmedia

  • geordiemanc70 GeordieManc (@geordiemanc70) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia @Kabatan7 @CISASUK Cheaper to compensate the few that can be bothered to take the complaint process all the way than to provide a service where loyal customers don't feel taken for granted and ignored. 2/2

  • Barber1Paul Paul Barber (@Barber1Paul) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Thank you @virginmedia for completely ignoring issues and directing me from helpline to Twitter to virgin community to then say need to ring the helpline- notice that you have also won the award of keeping customers longest on phone- will not be renewing my contract waste time

  • Barber1Paul Paul Barber (@Barber1Paul) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia We are due to have a new cable fitted outside as we have had months of issues which I have contacted virgin about regularly leading to an engineers visit. The engineers suggested updating our boxes and getting some pods to assist with signal- just ring up. Which I did no good

  • geordiemanc70 GeordieManc (@geordiemanc70) reported from Urmston, England

    You couldn't make it up. The day after we get a settlement from @virginmedia from our claim with the CISAS dispute service, they've just sent another customer satisfaction survey....

  • Gkieran3 Kieran (@Gkieran3) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia my internet is consistently going down on tuesday evenings. What is going on?

  • Conuggy Christine C (@Conuggy) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia how many days without WiFi before I get real help it’s M11 MCR it’s been 3 days now .. only had it back for 3 weeks prior to that it was off everyday for hours for roughly a month it’s driving me INSANE because there’s NO REAL people to speak to gotta go work now!!

  • DianeHilton20 Diane Hilton-Wainwright (@DianeHilton20) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia why don’t you solve my intermittent internet problem and why do your chat people ignore me? Poor poor service . I will be voting with my feet .

  • geordiemanc70 GeordieManc (@geordiemanc70) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia @Kabatan7 Oh bollocks. You gave me the same "busier than normal" line in January. Hopelessly understaffed "customer service" for all of the last 10 years. That's why you didn't remotely challenge my case with @CISASUK, just paid compensation. 1/2

  • TanvirHamid1982 Tanvir Hamid 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇧🇩🇬🇧🇪🇺🔴⚪️⚫️🐝 (@TanvirHamid1982) reported from Manchester, England

    If @virginmedia are reading, #M14 area of #Manchester seems to have #wifi connectivity issues as I'm trying to watch something on my phone 📱& the stream keeps freezing & rebooting.

  • Neeeko01 Nico☀️ (@Neeeko01) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia No I was to busy working 7 days to pay for it why do I need to @skytv never needed too—-surly it’s a standard set up to record a programme whatever the length.

  • jehsuey johnconroy (@jehsuey) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia your customer service staff are a joke. Constantly, lie cut you off and never resolve your issue. Get rid & start again.

  • grumpygit80 Grumpy *** (@grumpygit80) reported

    @virginmedia Poor customer service! And misleading when trying to upgrade.

  • rudyobrien21 The Obtuse Muse (@rudyobrien21) reported

    @virginmedia I've just sent you all the communication since Jan19th if you're too lazy to read it then my assessment of Virgin is correct - You are incapable of resolving your own problem.

  • ianmaclean88 Ian MacLean (@ianmaclean88) reported

    @virginmedia Link to post already on this thread, you can check the required details there. Again, not acceptable to say you cannot help because something is still partially working. You surely have a responsibility to make sure customers get the service they pay for

  • vintage_Mommaa Mrs_Really_Tired (@vintage_Mommaa) reported

    @virginmedia The whole point of me tweeting is to avoid the horrible call centre and been on hold for over a hour . This isnt accepting to then been told to go call. !!!

  • laineymacd Elaine MacDonald (@laineymacd) reported

    @virginmedia The catalogue of errors in my signup. Repeated lies relating to my service, being left in a position where I was within 1 day of disconnection which I need due to working from home during a pandemic. Spending 5 hours over the course of a weekend on the phone to virgin.

  • suzanne_delarue 🇧🇧 Aswad Suzanne (@suzanne_delarue) reported

    @virginmedia since when's it been ok for your call centre help line staff to shout at you and hang up! Seriously regretting my choice to sign up with you!

  • Bobbyyxx_ Bobby‼️ (@Bobbyyxx_) reported

    @the_pieface @virginmedia Been with virgin for years. Never ever had a problem unless it’s down for maintenance

  • TTV_Proud_Soul Proud_Soul (@TTV_Proud_Soul) reported

    Aaaannnnddddd just like that, it’s all over! Due to intermittent issues with @virginmedia the stream is cancelled for today

  • grumpygit80 Grumpy *** (@grumpygit80) reported

    @virginmedia C-2201212976 - you have made NO attempts to contact me. That is why it's so stupid how poor your service is. No attempts to call my mobile.

  • C_JRowley Charlotte Rowley (@C_JRowley) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia It is frustrating no-one is able or willing to help, my parents are 60+ & feeling very isolated. I appreciate you can’t do everything but all I need is a direct line to a manager. As calling the number or webhelp gets us nowhere. I’m done I give up.
