    @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.

    @virginmedia Yes I did try to call but couldn’t get hold of anyone after a 20 min wait. As you can see from the screenshot above in previous tweet, every appointment I make gets cancelled. Are you able to do something about this? Any help would be much appreciated

    Elizabeth Silva (@faysasilva) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia I have not internet in my flat in EC1V9ET since Monday. No explanation no comment and after calling the Customer Service team every day for an update today I was told that I should not be working from home if I’m not a business.! So that’s just 👍 great. That’s why 1

    @virginmedia second time this week, an outage in W8. Get it together

  • iamAleFerrara
    Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Can you just send a technician over to us? I’d assume you’d prioritise a customer that has been left with no Internet for 5 days? I’m not going to post the issue on an online forum, I’m asking you to provide support please.

  • margarethines1
    mags (@margarethines1) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia why’s you automated payment system not working!!!! 😡

  • 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.

    @courtloumc @virginmedia Mine was down around 7sh fir half hour , rebooted the router as it wouldn't connect

  • iamAleFerrara
    Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Hello there, DAY 5 without Internet connection here and I haven’t received any update from you. Can you PLEASE make some clarity on what is going on and when we can expect this to be fixed? Surely you should have sent a technician to check on us by now… Absolutely awful.

  • wpcastile
    William (@wpcastile) reported from Paddington, England

    @jexxicamunro @virginmedia OMG this is so bad, especially when working from home in a lockdown!

  • persianuk2017
    Hadi Taheri (@persianuk2017) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia i have been loyal customer and i asked if i change my package to phone and broadband as its far more affordable for me seeing the prices. You refused offering me what is on offer i find at absolute ridiculous and unvalued therefore requested cancellation.

  • ImaginaryCard
    Mo-Mo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia it's been 3 hours and we still don't have WiFi. We shouldn't have to wait 48 hours of bad service for a refund when this **** happens every few days 😵#virginmediadown

  • 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.

  • 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. 😱😱😱

  • Anthony_Lonres
    Anthony Payne (@Anthony_Lonres) reported from Kensington, England

    To all my friends who recommended @virginmedia please don’t contact me again. They are without doubt the worst company I have had the misfortune of being a customer to. If you’re considering them. Don’t.

    @virginmedia @keithapearson I agree ,been much happier and have a lot more time on my hands since I left and don't have to be ignored by their customer (lack of) service.

    @virginmedia You’re already aware of the issues, I have an ongoing complaint regarding this. You already have my complaint reference as I gave it your caller today. Who promised someone would ring today. I just need virgin to promise they will restore my Wi-Fi ASAP

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply @virginmedia but, frankly, these are just platitudes as usual. What is needed is action to sort the problem and accurate fix dates as opposed to the random, made up,ones I've been given so far Also, why not supply clients with MiFi solutions to help them?

  • SageyAFK
    SageAFK (@SageyAFK) reported

    @jammierooroo @steveomufc @SkyUK Virgin Media have down the same thing recently. Everyone’s under pressure to “hit a target”, to earn more money because the system is ******. We are failing fundamentally at all levels, and it’s ******* disgusting.

    @virginmedia I'm trying so hard to log in and see what TV and broadband package deals you can offer me but I'm in a cycle of linking to my o2 account and then a transfer link coming through and doing nothing! How can I fix this?

    Net Zero Watch (@NetZeroWatch) reported

    Mobile network operators have warned they could be forced to ration phone signal access to combat soaring energy prices triggered by the war in Iran. In a stark warning to the Government, telecoms giants including VodafoneThree, Virgin Media O2 and EE said they were drawing up emergency contingency plans after being excluded from Rachel Reeves’s energy support scheme. More Net Zero issues for consumers. #CostOfNetZero
