    @virginmedia The wifi is always flashing green. Even when it says there is no issue. Fortunately tho the contract is coming to an end which means so will payments👍. Paying for about 250Mb to get 30 on a wired connection

    Annoys me way more than it should that Virgin... sorry, LNER call their class 800s “Azumas” and the media are treating them as something new, when class 800s have been in operation on the GWML since 2017, just without a stupid brand name.

    @virginmedia Im not thick ofcourse all the cables are connected, it wouldnt tell me 30mb if the ethernet wasnt in. The hub has been reset whenever there is an issue, which happens to be every few days.

    @virginmedia We have engineer visit today so hopefully they can resolve. However it is vertically impossible to get to speak to one of your agents. That is really not good customer service. I tried to have the online chat on a weekday btw sonshould have been available after 6

    @virginmedia 5 different answers from different agents The best one was yesterday whilst on hold after being transferred to another person , waited half hour then they cut me off ! Finally got through to Nathan who is currently trying to resolve this issue, again !

    Andrew James Thorp (@andrewjthorp) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    I love @virginmedia products, but detest their overseas call centres. Customer service is appalling! Been on the current call for 40 minutes and now I’m apparently being transferred somewhere else! I’m only trying to sort my contract out....

    @NOWTV So cos @virginmedia had problems and I could only watch this via app last weekend, I restarted my @NOWTV entertainment sub just to binge watch on Sunday

    @virginmedia Tried to call today waited for 20mins to get through finally got through to customer service and then they had to put me through the escalations team and as soon as i got through the operator pretended he could not hear then dropped the phone.

    Andrew James Thorp (@andrewjthorp) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia Every interaction with you overseas call centre is a horrible experience, long wait times, bad English, wrong information & get passed around the system. The only way to get anywhere is to threaten to leave and suddenly you are transferred to the UK where the problem is resolved!

    Georgia Mumby (@georgiamumbles) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia hey my WiFi is down and I’ve been trying to get through to somebody in your call centre for ages - I was on hold until way after closing time and your message feature doesn’t work 😞 HEEEELLLPPPP!!!!

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp @VMDotCom Virgin are a bunch of lying thieves and would not recommend anybody signing a contract, once they get you in they start treating you like crap.

    @virginmedia Thank you .... will try. — The text I got today said “With our Connect app, your WiFi can't hide. It's like a WiFi sniffer dog, hunting down blackspots.” You might like to point out to Marketing that a reword is needed as I took it literally. Thanks for your help.

  • jamesjennings_
    James Jennings (@jamesjennings_) reported

    @virginmedia I just spent an hour 20 on the phone for someone to hang up without speaking to an operator. We are paying extra for a booster that does not work! Awful service and provider

  • whild13

    @virginmedia Done all this. No different. I find I’m turning it on and off everyday to make a small difference for a few hours before issues start again.

  • cdrider1
    Craig (@cdrider1) reported

    @virginmedia Tried to raise a complaint over the phone. Bill wasn’t credited and complaint only to a manager and refused to follow your complaints process and provide a C reference. Keeps the complaint stats down I guess. 3 calls and about 4 hours to fix your mistakes. Absolute shambles 😡

  • BluesnJazzxx
    just me (@BluesnJazzxx) reported

    @O2 since you joined forces with virgin media, it has been physically impossible to speak to any kind of customer service agent either via the app or over the phone. I refuse to waste any more time trying to contact you to discuss my account and would just like to cancel my

  • cdrider1
    Craig (@cdrider1) reported

    @virginmedia I shouldn’t have to - and quite frankly can’t be bothered. I’ve been through everything on the phone and told a complaint was raised and it wasn’t done correctly. Waste of my time to do anything else. You’ve got serious staffing issues.

  • SimonKelly14
    Simon Kelly (@SimonKelly14) reported

    Hi @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to your customer services, to report a fault on my Samsung A52, "There is debris or moisture in the charging port." The person I spoke to, said there would be a £120 charge, for a repair, even though the phone is under warranty.

    FFS @virginmedia why send out a letter with a phone number that isn’t answered and then hang up?

    @virginmedia I’m unable to cancel my plan over the phone or via webchat due to my mother having all the details as she forcefully set up the account in my name any help ?
