    @virginmedia The other issue your engineer was in yesterday surely he would have checked these things out ? Personally i dont think he was very experienced or didnt know how to do his job properly.

  • Lis4learning

    @virginmedia I’m with virgin media and recently changed my bundle. I have been sent an o2 SIM card, but I am unsure why? I already an O2 customer? @O2

  • MatthewWalne
    Matthew Walne MCSI (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. The text service doesn’t work well to say the least. How do I post a question on the community to get an order placed please?

  • ASJPhotography
    Alexandra Johnson (@ASJPhotography) reported from Coalville, England

    @virginmedia have to be the MOST unhelpful when it comes to customer service. I’ve been going round and round and round for an issue your technical engineer has already highlighted!!!!

  • Manraj_Virkk
    Manraj (@Manraj_Virkk) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia why does my wifi keep cutting out every 15 mins for about 2 mins then come back? Not great when I work from home and my meetings cut out midway through…

  • ollieg21296
    Ollie (@ollieg21296) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @virginmedia That didn’t sort any of the issues out. I’d like an engineer to come out please and take a look

  • NikkiPearman
    Nikki Pearman 💙 (@NikkiPearman) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia That’s my problem. I can’t get to speak to a person and your automated system doesn’t allow me to discuss the issue properly.

  • alextiplerfilm
    Alex Tipler (@alextiplerfilm) reported from Coalville, England

    @virginmedia You don't have internet access yet you are on twitter? Can you not get someone to ring me. I am stuck on hold, 16 minutes now, waiting to resolve your issue!

  • NikkiPearman
    Nikki Pearman 💙 (@NikkiPearman) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia I have an issue with my wifi signal being weak upstairs - until last 2 mths it was perfectly fine. However it’s impossible to speak with anyone - I don’t want the automated system or a broadband check as service is fine it’s just range. Unhappy customer

  • DenhamKite
    Denham Kite (@DenhamKite) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia - what number do I call to talk to a real person to sort this rubbish before I cancel?

  • SmallPaulDJ
    smallpauldj (@SmallPaulDJ) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia I'm paying over 50 pounds just for 100mg broadband already! Why can a new customer get TV etc to for just 30? Conveniently the phone lines all seem off.

    @virginmedia @Benleo Generic replies and absolutely unforgivable call centres off shores just to make that bit more money out of millions- all the while providing an awful service!!!!! Leave them like so many of us all have. Loyalty means nothing to them.

    AirDribblePrick (@AirDribblePrick) reported

    @garyb007 @Benleo They couldn't care less about loyalty, that's why all the new customers get the best deals and loyal customers end up paying double. **** @virginmedia scum company.

    @virginmedia @fernrix I once had virgin broadband and thank god I didn’t renew my contract. Your customer service is pathetic !

  • brexit_blue
    Gordon (@brexit_blue) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Try dealing with @SkyUK Ben. Indian Call Centre! No words! After 30+ years as a Sky customer our Sky contract was terminated in December all because we moved home and needed a Sky Stream box instead of Q but cost increase was staggering so terminated. Never heard from Sky again.

    @virginmedia no Internet for 2 days saying won't be fixed until Friday, I thought southern water was the worst, you've proved me wrong.

  • uraniumfroge
    v (@uraniumfroge) reported

    @virginmedia Every day it’s just “wait until tomorrow” with no real update, no installation date and no communication yet we’re being threatened with huge cancellation fees despite having no service at all. Can someone please actually take ownership of this situation?😡😡😡

  • LadyLucia05
    Lucia (@LadyLucia05) reported

    @virginmedia Well that was not what I was informed when I have tried before, even when you have my husband down as vulnerable, I've had loss since last Friday while I was abroad, my home security is not working and im back and forth on here.
