    @virginmedia How do I get through to a human to discuss a problem with my neighbours Virgin account?

  • robbo_1962 Peter Robinson (@robbo_1962) reported from Dumbarton, Scotland

    @virginmedia Just tried that, still not working

  • garydg7 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Gary ScottishEagle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@garydg7) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @virginmedia ... my wife who has authority to speak on her account on her behalf has been unsuccessfully trying to get you to once again resolve the issue. As it stands, we have been advised someone will be in touch within 24 hours. Unacceptable!! My mother in law lives alone

  • justcall_mesir Michael Macdonald (@justcall_mesir) reported from Alexandria, Scotland

    @virginmedia - 3hrs on the phone today to several of your "Managers, Collections, and Tier 1 and 2 staff" No further forward, due to unprofessional calls, rudeness, and staff with a sloppy shoulder approach with no solution, no acceptance of error. Shocking customer service.

  • N07WOD J No (@N07WOD) reported from Inchinnan, Scotland

    @virginmedia the worst company I know to deal with, information puts you on a loop and doesn’t provide what you need. Beyond rude agents. #raging

  • justcall_mesir Michael Macdonald (@justcall_mesir) reported from Alexandria, Scotland

    @virginmedia please have any of the following fake names call me back please ASAP....abby, abys manager, Jean on collections, Bradley who passed me on to some else cause he was out having abeer, or Luke who didn't finish finding a solution to @virginmedia's ineptitude.

  • garydg7 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Gary ScottishEagle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@garydg7) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @virginmedia Your customer service is absolutely shocking. You have cut off a vulnerable pensioner twice in the past 72 hours for reasons of your own error, leaving her with no means of communication whilst apparently being unable to fix the issue for 24 hours. Shocking! 🤬

  • dee_mcbee Dee McBee (@dee_mcbee) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    Internet not working in pa14 area, website says there are no problems in my area @virginmedia

  • mickfiftyfive Mike (@mickfiftyfive) reported from Dumbarton, Scotland

    @virginmedia So channel's 1-5 are back up but all other channel's are still showing error cod (v53), whats the issue @virginmedia ???

  • cocobrown1973 Coco Brown (@cocobrown1973) reported from Dumbarton, Scotland

    @virginmedia Yeah I got it sorted however 1hr on a phone line at 30p per minute is not cheap taking a full hour to sort something that is simple is very poor customer service especially for loyal customers

  • AmandaM2282 AmandaM2282 (@AmandaM2282) reported from Alexandria, Scotland

    @virginmedia Long story short I was told information that was not correct claimed my money back after being advised to do so the money then has been added back on to my next bill and after endless chats emails complaint forms promises of a call back I’m still waiting to get this resolved

  • rmariet7 🎄Marie🎄 (@rmariet7) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @DannyWoodwad Been there when my mum had Virgin media. If I continue having problems, I will be changing.

  • neilmacallister mac / macca (@neilmacallister) reported from Alexandria, Scotland

    @virginmedia - Internet / Broadband service has been terrible last few days, any problems in this area, I am in G83 postcode Strathleven, Alexandria. Thanks

  • AmandaM2282 AmandaM2282 (@AmandaM2282) reported from Alexandria, Scotland

    @virginmedia I was advised to apply for the indemnity off a supervisor no one said it would be added on at a later date and the whole reason it happened was because an advisor on the chat told me I would have no charges to pay in feb this is my problem too much Erin info and no one fixing it

  • garydg7 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Gary ScottishEagle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@garydg7) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @virginmedia Yes, and reinstated her service around lunchtime today. Come 5pm, they cut her off again!!

  • garydg7 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Gary ScottishEagle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@garydg7) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @virginmedia Not only that, when pointing out to your CS team that the account holder was a vulnerable person, my wife was advised "what do you want me to do with that?" By the operator. Shameful. Fix her issue and stop cutting her off for no reason!!

  • robbo_1962 Peter Robinson (@robbo_1962) reported from Dumbarton, Scotland

    @virginmedia I just turned everything off at the mains and restarted it all and that seems to have sorted it. Don’t know why I didn’t think to try that before. Thanks for your help and suggestions 👍

  • angie__murphy Angie Murphy (@angie__murphy) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    Has anyone got that Virgin Media 1 gig internet? If so, what's it like for stability, etc?

  • BETTYLAROO Steven Beattie (@BETTYLAROO) reported from Linwood, Scotland

    @virginmedia YouTube app on V6 box has had playback issues for months. Used to be black screen flashing up for a second at beginning of every video, today it's black screen throughout video and only audio. Not good 🙄

  • neilmacallister mac / macca (@neilmacallister) reported from Alexandria, Scotland

    @virginmedia Is there a problem with TV reception in the G83 Area (Alexandria) ? Completed all diagnostic checks on my TV and Tivo box and still no reception yet. Please reply... thanks

  • fagsagainstgod sol - DOCTOR WHO SPOILERS!!! (@fagsagainstgod) reported

    @virginmedia Checked earlier and now and it only reports TV issues; which I do not have so

  • meganprice29 Megan Price (@meganprice29) reported

    @virginmedia The fault test just tells us that there are issues in the area, but nothing else. Can you confirm if there are issues in Battersea? We've had no internet for 7 days and have been unable to speak to anyone about it.

  • fagsagainstgod sol - DOCTOR WHO SPOILERS!!! (@fagsagainstgod) reported

    @virginmedia I think it’s fair to say the link isn’t reliable bc when my wifi went down, over an hour and a half ago, it said the area was perfectly fine. So I suppose something is wrong, isn’t it? Regardless, it’s finally working now… one hour and a half later.

  • chris_oneill94 Chris O'Neill (@chris_oneill94) reported

    @virginmedia How is the community going to help? I've had engineers, multiple. Calls, live chats and none of it had been sorted because it is the "cab" in the street and the wiring is old is the most recent reasoning.

  • scott_doman Scott Doman (@scott_doman) reported

    @virginmedia I'm still getting 30 to 40Mbps when I should be on 1Gbps. I'm about to call customer service again to see what the deal is, my colleague in the SS16 area has the same issue.

  • PaesiFantasma Paesi Fantasma (@PaesiFantasma) reported

    @virginmedia I left a bad review on trustpilot and I've got an email saying to contact you. How? I can't call, I can't send an email. I used the chat and the result is that I have to pay because of your agents. Complaints are not going through the website. That's totally rubbish.

  • finkcreative Alex Lieven - Design & Art Director (@finkcreative) reported

    @virginmedia Worst service. Cut off during online chat, no-one answers the phone, ripped-off by the new contract. WORST! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

  • Amy09424661 Amy (@Amy09424661) reported

    @virginmedia It wasn't booked. I waited in all day. How can I make a complaint as when I ask to speak to a manager or log one, I'm Told I can't

  • stokebomp Adam (@stokebomp) reported

    @virginmedia complete lack of broadband since Saturday and you won't answer the phones. Engineer visit is Friday so that's the whole half term without any broadband. Please advise where to log the service blackout for the daily refund.

  • jinks_bar Baa Bar Jinks (@jinks_bar) reported

    @virginmedia oh dear. Just left BT for an 18 month contract and regretting it. Spent 40 mins getting nowhere on the phone yesterday, put in a complaint and been told to phone the same customer 'care' to resolve it. Seriously?
