    @virginmedia After the two hour chat, it was finally resolved. Wife have arranged an internet connection to our new flat before this(with Virgin btw), took 5 minutes. Lot of hoops to jump through to cancel, when I just wanted to get it over with. No offers, just cancel.

    No internet at all now… apparently there are a few areas with dodgy internet problems… thanks Virgin media 🤬🤬🤬🤬

    @virginmedia Hi - my wifi still isn’t working. I’ve texted you and now tried to call you to cancel with no answer from either. Can I ask where is the money from your customers being spent?

    @virginmedia My partner - a current Virgin customer - just got *HUNG UP ON* by one of the rudest customer services advisors I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Abhorrent customer service. Absolutely shocking.

    Respect to the engineers @virginmedia Consistently maintaining such a complex network is a tough job, especially at a time of exceptional demand. Whingeing the instant something as advanced as an internet network goes wrong is such a self-regarding 1st World problem. Shame on us

  • josethepotter
    Jose Carvalho (@josethepotter) reported from Hammersmith, England

    ITS NOW almost 6 months since I made the contract with the sales team and I was told by the customer service team today that they can’t help and I need to keep trying. Trying what? WHERE ARE MY RIGHT? @virginmedia @richardbranson

  • FoodwiseWomen
    Foodwise Woman (@FoodwiseWomen) reported from Kensington, England

    I’m trying to live chat to @virginmedia to see if they can install a Hub 5 router in our area as Apple reporting privacy problems with existing router. I’m on hold for a ‘live’ agent but their Terri Triage BOT requires me to press the ‘Yes I’ll hold button’ every 40secs. 😱😱😱

    @Rhodri_H_Davies @virginmedia It's #virginontheridiculous that @virginmedia have had the same lame excuse for their 'temporary', nightmarish wait times on their 'helpline' for 12 months now Who else gets the dropped calls as soon as you mention a bad broadband connection? Were trying to #homeschool here!

  • remecampos
    reme campos (@remecampos) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia my internet it’s not working this morning, again!. It keeps happening very frequently and when it works it’s very slow! I can’t reach your site ether. Postcode W11

  • GaborPfalzer
    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @atnori_ @virginmedia Yep, experienced just recently :D I am an extremely patient person… I properly lost it today 🙃 At least the damn thing is cancelled though.

  • antonypatrickuk
    Antony Patrick Assoc (@antonypatrickuk) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia That’s my point!!! your text says you’re coming today, your system says Thursday! Once again a massive let down on your apparent Customer Service!!! Your call centre has just advised that the text was sent in error and the appointment is now Thursday....costing my company money

  • GaborPfalzer
    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @AbzAaron @virginmedia Even better… if you don’t play along, nobody else will cancel it. You can’t even hang up on the sales pitch.

  • BowTieMendoza
    VM (@BowTieMendoza) reported from Kensington, England

  • WoleAdesemoye
    Wolé Adesemoye (@WoleAdesemoye) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia My previous landline telephone number was meant to be ported over and this never got done. I’ve never been able to receive incoming calls on my landline. Internet is very intermittent. My experience with your customer service hasn’t been great. All along I’ve been paying in full.

  • chrisgreen
    Chris Green (@chrisgreen) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia You know full well that a broken drop cable (which you already know is the issue from the last time you unhelpfully responded) won’t be shown on your service status page. For crying out loud! Your cut-and-paste response is both disrespectful and of no use whatsoever! #epicfail

  • edward_baran
    Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia There are your usual garbage explanations yes. Saying no fix for hours. Not good enough

  • scoobiesue82
    Suz (@scoobiesue82) reported

    @virginmedia The big bang theory on TLC suddenly has audio description even though it’s turned off on the box setting. Only every episode of this show nothing else on TLC or any other channel. It’s pretty annoying as it’s my go to channel between shows. Any idea why/how to fix?

  • drstevelewis
    Steve Lewis (@drstevelewis) reported

    @SkyCricket Any chance UK tv viewers could watch this on our @virginmedia sets please? Channels 504 and 505 are not working and yes I have switched it off and back on (twice). We pay 💰s for this and the report service doesn’t seem to do very much, except send me round its loops. Not cricket

  • mec337
    mec337 (@mec337) reported

    @virginmedia I’m busy composing an email for ofcom about how I’m forced to pay for a phone service to be able to have a package that’s overpriced. Yet when I actually want to use it, it’s broken- repeatedly. Then forced to go through stupid phone menus and wait >30 mins

  • Toodice
    Toodice (@Toodice) reported

    @virginmedia Our broadband, TV, and telephone have all been down since 7PM yesterday. You keep pushing the fix time forward - now apparently 10AM tomorrow. How many more times are you going to push the time forward? It's absolutely ruined the weekend.
