    @treysis @noIPv6 @omnomis @virginmedia @tschaeferm @adam_as61 Nah, @AskCiti always used to be the only way to get competent customer service. At one point I almost took to using them first without even bothering to go through the proper channels first.

  • leezaloops Leeza Morley (@leezaloops) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Absolutely disgusting service from Virgin. Rang to get refund for sky sports since lockdown and no help whatsoever. And I can’t make a complaint apparently as it will be automatically closed!!

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @jasonkneen @virginmedia That page never seems to work for me.

  • Greenking66 Chris Green (@Greenking66) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi would it be possible for someone from your customer care based in the uk to phone me please.

  • MichaelGagaHale Michael Gaga-Hale (@MichaelGagaHale) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Got a notification that the service has been fix. It hasnt, I still have no wifi or tv. Earliest an engineer can come is Saturday 🙄

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia Please can you assist before I take this further @richardbranson as your customer care is certainly way off the mark. Kind regards Phil Cook

  • MichaelGagaHale Michael Gaga-Hale (@MichaelGagaHale) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Now its 1600 tomorrow. Pathetic really, no explication for the fault or reason for delaying fix time.

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia @ruskin147 It’s also affecting your 4G mobile data service so every time your broadband goes down so does the 4G and we lose all of our internet access.

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia I have had enough of your poor service 😡 talking to people who lie, can’t answer my questions so then hang up!! I have 3 mobile contacts with you my 2 daughters & my own, it’s a shocking service. All I want is the deal I signed up to 😤

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia trying to find your TV only plans on your website is a nightmare. Can’t do anything on your slow clunky mobile website.

  • Da_Hayts Mark Hayton (@Da_Hayts) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia suggest you get more technical support staff!! Second attempt to get support after being disconnect after an hours waiting in a queue😡

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia That was a wired connection. It downloaded in the end (all 92GB), I will keep a lookout for issues.

  • jharm91 James (@jharm91) reported from Haverhill, England

    @skirglepips @gayxchange04 @virginmedia @CherylHoleQueen It’s probably good to know that the xfactor is so produced that the good and the bad singers are often head hunted and told what to sing for good tv

  • MichaelGagaHale Michael Gaga-Hale (@MichaelGagaHale) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I’ve done that. Think you just need to find and engineer that can fix it now.

  • lizdeoli liz de oliveira (@lizdeoli) reported from Sudbury, England

    @virginmedia Amazing how you won’t sort out the problem with the account holder but you’ll speak to someone else about the account without the account holder’s permission!

  • lizdeoli liz de oliveira (@lizdeoli) reported from Sudbury, England

    @virginmedia I have rung twice waited over 2 hours and still can’t sort out a request to cancel an account for someone who has learning difficulties and is escaping domestic violence. Disgraceful

  • Greenking66 Chris Green (@Greenking66) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I done the scan and the signal upstairs is weak and very very slow😕

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia The worst bit you get one letter on 6th Nov saying your case is being investigated & apologising for taking 8 weeks to sort, two days later the case is closed as I didn’t reply to a letter 4 weeks earlier I never received!!!!

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia Had enough - paying for a service - not getting what I pay for & just getting know where fast!!!!

  • jj_phoenix66 JJ_phoenix (@jj_phoenix66) reported from Colchester, England

  • nofksgiven81 The man (@nofksgiven81) reported

    @juliabrennan5 @virginmedia Unfortunately no there isnt, and whatever fix date they give you they won’t keep to anyway, they are a ******* shambles, my fix date has been pushed back 3 times, due to be fixed tomorrow which is never gonna happen, they will apologise as always, that’s all they do

  • Avatar777897645 Avatar7 (@Avatar777897645) reported

    @virginmedia I’d be grateful if you can get the problem fixed asap please ? Leaving cable exposed is dangerous - children can come in contact or adult and May suffer significant harm

  • nofksgiven81 The man (@nofksgiven81) reported

    @virginmedia @cnoah21 Stop ******* apologising and start fixing some ****, take a look at all the tweets on here, Virgin are a pile of **** who never fix anything, just apologise and make the same excuses over and over,

  • ExtremePCUK ≡xtr≡m≡pcuk 🔜 #i69 🤟 (@ExtremePCUK) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SERVICE! I’ve worked with major computer and ISP’s over my time but by far Virgin Media is the worst! I pay £111 a month and not one person can help. Intermittent internet for a month but they say just wait another week it may be back on!

  • nofksgiven81 The man (@nofksgiven81) reported

    @virginmedia @MoizSiawala All you ever do is push dates back further & further, and then expect a simple sorry to be good enough, well it isn’t, my new expected date of fix in my area is tomorrow, the 3rd date you have given, we already know it won’t be fixed tomorrow, it’s ok, you will say sorry after

  • Rob77711 Rob (@Rob77711) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I really need help in getting my order resolved. I ordered broadband on 22nd November. For whatever reason I was not issued with a account number so I can not speak to anyone regarding this. I really need to find out what is happening

  • clanfan_kev Kevin Bell (@clanfan_kev) reported

    @virginmedia Friday, they advised the techinal team can help, but they had already told me to wait until i get a new appointment.

  • beenotthere Bee 🐝😌✨ (@beenotthere) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia Can you message me regarding the free data to help those in need? I've been trying to get a code for myself and haven't been able to get one. Thanks.
