    @virginmedia stop constantly calling with silent calls and then cutting off, I've spoken to two people in customer service who advised no one has called. when I call the number back it says its virgin media. Terrible service

    @virginmedia My broadband has gone into a weird stopped working properly and I'm at my dad's house 12 Wardenlaw NE10 8NE it keeps going on and off and is so slow and it is barely usable! Is anyone else having the same problem with Virgin?

  • body_mindfitco Paul Edgar (@body_mindfitco) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia 6 days now without home Internet, landline and TV. No apology, no explanation from Virgin. Parents who rely on these communication lines. Terrible service.

  • Nattalingo Nathalie Paris (@Nattalingo) reported from Consett, England

    @virginmedia How will this please be different from the service I have had so far? Will someone competent ring me?

  • Nattalingo Nathalie Paris (@Nattalingo) reported from Consett, England

    @virginmedia New one is I was hoping to sign up to some sort of TV package, but when logged into my online account it gives me a "oops" with no option, so I need to talk to someone. Experience with the number you have given me has been poor, I want to avoid it!

  • TaureanTypical TypicalTaurean (@TaureanTypical) reported

    @virginmedia Haven’t had broadband for almost a ten day period now. From resetting the hub to a technician visit, everything has been done. Tell me, what does it take to get those blinking green lights to go away? Appalled and frustrated with the horrible service!

  • RobAlcroft Rob Alcroft (@RobAlcroft) reported

    @virginmedia First message: 15.33 Human contact: 15.40 Retention deal offer from human: 15.44 Retention deal refused: 15.56 Suddenly a 24 hour wait time for a Customer Service agent... @Ofcom Phone call connected: 17.53 18 minutes without response. We wait...

  • Rich1903 Richard Dumbill (@Rich1903) reported

    @virginmedia Maybe you should refund me for it as I can’t use a service I’ve paid you for…

  • MrD_TeacherGuy Mr. D (@MrD_TeacherGuy) reported

    Another day, another @virginmedia outage. Always seems to be around this time too. Luckily @grainconnect has just installed fibre in our street so don't have to put up with this much longer.

  • SebTallents Seb Tallents (@SebTallents) reported

    @virginmedia I guess the only way to fight it is simply not to take a match price when I phone to cancel. Appreciate this is a higher level issue than customer service, but if you have a route to feed back up into the system, it would be good.

  • Xinouth Xinouth (@Xinouth) reported

    @virginmedia Every single night? Good one. Additionally, any other company I've been with issues a simple "Please note, due to scheduled maintenance on X between Y and Z you may experience disruption to your service." in advance, so that their users are aware and can expect it.

  • gillystar21 Gillian Howat (@gillystar21) reported

    @virginmedia i am totally dismayed today phoned to renew my deal. I’ve got quoted 4 prices all over £100 yet new customers can get it for £85. Please help

  • JordanDavies111 Jordan Davies (@JordanDavies111) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for refusing to help and not reading ANYTHING I have typed. @LutzSchueler

  • SebTallents Seb Tallents (@SebTallents) reported

    @virginmedia You can obviously figure out what the going rate is for providers that can match your service in my area. You also ought to know from your CRM that I'm not interested in upsales. So why force me to go through the palava? It's an anti-pattern and /2

  • Vic_Tye VicTye 🇩🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚓🏴‍☠️ (@Vic_Tye) reported

    @virginmedia Same again, Looks like we have trouble connecting your Hub. Options are reset hub.... Again!
