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!!
-

-
Peter Thornton.🇺🇦 (@insidewrite1957) reported from Ramsbottom, England@eshelm @simonnread @virginmedia Worst people I’ve ever worked for By a distance
-
Stephen Mackenzie (@StevomacMUFC) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England@virginmedia Hi, I’m trying to raise a complaint online but I’m not receiving any acknowledgment. Is there another way I can raise my complaint? Thanks
-
Josh B (@JoshuaBurns) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia on my second week of being a first time customer with you and my connection has been down for nearly 10 hours now. What’s going on?
-
johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia If that was the only issue than yes that would be the logical next step. But as you’ll see from the previous tweets and email sent on Wednesday it isn’t. All the issues need dealing with in the round or otherwise I’ll have to cancel and go back to sky.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Hannah Tompkins (@he_tompkins) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia my broadband was “delivered” today by Yodel but the package is no where to be seen and wasn’t attempted (I’ve been in all day waiting). I can’t get any help from them, please help!! 😭
-
Sam (@Samuel_J_Mc) reported from Timperley, England@virginmedia customer service is so ****. They just transfer you round to different departments
-
Daniel McDermott (@dantheman8t5) reported from Dukinfield, England@virginmedia any idea when the outage will be sorted? I have work to do today
-
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
-
Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia I first informed Virgin Media that my internet was down via online chat on Friday afternoon. Will this have automatically been the time when my loss of service was registered as at the time the advisor said it would be fixed in 24 hours?
-
Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England@bluecitygirl232 @virginmedia I had the same issue with them in December always down not reliable couldn’t WFH so binned them off went to BT and fingers crossed not had an issue to date

-
Gary Hurdman LRPS (@ghotographyuk) reportedThe worst customer experience in trying to get help when their expensive service isn't working is @virginmedia. A black hole of "linking acounts" and recursive questions that ulitmately fail, just to try and report an issue. Do not make the mistake of becoming their customer
-
john (@jhargie4) reported@o2 @virginmedia CEO LUTZ SCHUELER seems rather that sending the DEADLOCK letter your team actually want to CANCEL my COMPLAINT!!!!
-
David Green (@Daveboy1972) reported@CheekyVic @virginmedia sky just as bad i had fault on broadband did all tests phoned number spoke and screamed at 4 robots before i got a human who was more worried about selling me a mobile
-
Tony Payne (Main Account) (@Poddys_bu1) reported@CheekyVic @virginmedia It's almost impossible to get through to an English call centre, the Indians never have a clue what we actually want. Moved on now and our local provider, Toob is really good.
-
𝙱𝚊𝚢𝙹𝚊𝚢𝚉𝚞𝚜🥀 (@BayJayZus) reported@virginmedia @moonpeach212 And what an absolute joke your customer service has become! I can't believe I am paying for this sh¡t!
-
MaryC (@marycallaghan08) reported@virginmedia what’s going on in B44? No Tv channels, error code CS2004 & nobody responding on web messaging. Poor customer service. We’re not in Nepal for heaven’s sake
-
angela worley (@villa4ever29) reported@DianeRusse58708 @virginmedia I had the same issue. Did you have error code:CS2004? Mine is now fixed, but only within the last hour.
-
Anand Gupta (@anandcheam) reported@virginmedia can you spend some money on customer care so they can answer calls / chats and LISTEN when they do ? You guys sent me 2016 router box when the agreement was to send the latest and now no one is licking up the phone, is that joke? @Ofcom British regulators need to penalise where it starts hurting the service company. Like they do in the USA, 100s of millions of pounds or billions. Not peanuts.
