    16 mins on hold to @virginmedia before I got through to someone who said she needed to transfer me to another department, the recorded message of that department said the number no longer exists and gave me the original phone number to ring! Some customer service that!!!

  • hilly_1986 Iain Hill (@hilly_1986) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Say no known issues. Wired is fine but WiFi all over the house is shocking! Tried moving the hub but can only go so far as it’s restricted by the wires.

    @virginmedia disabled relatives who are without a phone for the second time ina month.they have a nurse call system that needs working phone line. No engineer until tomorrow. raised a complaint told some one will call non working phone. If no response complaint closed.

  • greav41 Paul Greaves (@greav41) reported from Gateshead, England

    @simonrim @virginmedia Ended up removing them from our lives due to atrocious (being generous here) customer service. Even now they are threatening £130 charge due to them not sending out the box return kit.

  • davidVbarron David Barron (@davidVbarron) reported

    @virginmedia Well done. You literally have a non job. What is the point of having a twitter presence that cannot help customers? HAVE I CHECKED SERVICE STATUS? Do you think I'm an idiot? I must be - for here I am responding to this pathetic patronising word salad. I am done with VIRGIN 👋👋

  • PArchie83 Peter Archibald 🇬🇧🇿🇦 (@PArchie83) reported

    @virginmedia can a virgin media customer get this Ultimate Volt bundle as an upgrade?

  • Only_One_Cobby Liam Wilson-Cobb (@Only_One_Cobby) reported

    @virginmedia also apparently there isn’t anyone in today who can help but I’ll have to wait 2 weeks for the back up line to be fitted and then 5 days for the TV services to be working. But nothing from Virgin! However I still have to pay the full bill!

  • clairecs1 Claire Coast-Smith (@clairecs1) reported

    @virginmedia In this instance, service went out for 4 hours last night (as I said, in my tweet and email to you) a shorter time than sometimes. But overall, many issues over the years. Don't waste your time & mine replying to this, just try to improve your service for all your customers.

  • avidfan1 Mark Towns (@avidfan1) reported

    @virginmedia is it possible to get an engineer out to repair my broadband ASAP. I’ve been told for the third time now to wait 24 hours for you to fix my internet.

  • MTLalley MTL (@MTLalley) reported

    @virginmedia ...many calls over time to try and sort, ppl supposed to call me back, I gave up! They kept calling me in work when I asked for the call at home asking me to reboot the system... wtf! I'm in work! The email/Account has not been sorted and I've had enough, I want out.

  • MatthewKiziltan Matt K (@MatthewKiziltan) reported

    @virginmedia I really can’t be bothered. I just want to cancel my Virgin media. What number do I call

  • dukeoftadley Richard High (@dukeoftadley) reported

    @virginmedia The person I’m speaking to says they can’t access my account so can’t discuss it. They say I should have a telephone password but I never received one, and they don’t understand the problem that I am describing to them. After 1 day it’s 0/10 for Virgin so far!

  • MTLalley MTL (@MTLalley) reported

    @virginmedia The broadband and wifi consistantly drop, ever single day and it has been happening ever since I joined May 2021, it has got worse over time and the last 3 months has been awful, also I have no access to my account because you are unable to sort out linking my email to mt A/C...

  • MTLalley MTL (@MTLalley) reported

    @virginmedia ...when I do the text service it shifts me to whatsapp abd when I say it's to do do with a fault it says I cannot report a fault on whatsapp, totally infuriating, so back to square one! Now I want to report you to Ofcom and told this can take a month for them to decide if I can..
