  • rl_chris_higham Chris Higham (@rl_chris_higham) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia There is no webmail to log on says try later - for 5 weeks Absolute shocking service

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I suggest you feed this back to Customer Service as I very much doubt I'm the first customer who's been misinformed on this. The engineer was supposed to be calling about my ongoing intermittent service issues, with both TV and internet.

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Excuses excuses but no resolution how long will it take 2 days since incident raised and waiting for contact back as instructed why would I waste my day calling incompetent people when someone is trying allegedly to sort it Same old crap customer service

  • vanderpijpen ChrisV2theP™ (@vanderpijpen) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia Yeah because they couldn't get it to work so my problem was hardly resolved!!!!!!

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia According to your Customer Service I was informed I was to get a phone call by 5pm on Wednesday. When I rang back on Thursday to complete my order for a replacement box (after being offered a V6 but would have to pay installation) I was told no later than 5pm Friday.

  • Markticus 𝕭𝖎𝖌 M𝖆𝖗𝖐𝖇𝖔𝖜𝖘𝖐𝖎 (@Markticus) reported from Consett, England

    Incredibly stressful and poor customer service from @virginmedia, Not adhering to T+Cs. Agent lying on phone to me. not allowing complaints and just blatantly lying Absolutely disgusted

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Why is @virginmedia customer service so unrelentingly bloody awful?? Still no call from an engineer, told replacement TiVo box would come by post for it to come out by courier and get notified of this 20 minutes after the delivery window has started and I was at work 😡

  • vanderpijpen ChrisV2theP™ (@vanderpijpen) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia Through WhatsApp chat lastnight said it was done received email saying added. Checked tonight still not working. Phonecall to your call centre 3 operators still not working now waiting for a technician 2 call me back apparently within 4hrs

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Okay so why was I told it would be coming by post in 5 working days and why have I still not had a call from an engineer? Kind of my main issues and you can't blame Yodel for them!!

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @O2 your volt supercharge is a con! Why has my virgin media bill doubled and I’m being charged for making changes to my bill, none of this was mentioned to me this is a breach of contract im not paying almost £100 just cancel my package if that’s the case

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia hi are you having problems in NE34? Our TV has been down since around 10.45am with error code V53. Can’t check service status online as your site appears to be unavailable.

  • vanderpijpen ChrisV2theP™ (@vanderpijpen) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia Rubbish! That number is automated said sent signal 2 switch off box and restart didn't happen spend another hr on phone explaining issue 2 4 different advisers!!! Worst service I've ever received complete garbage

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia After speaking to yet another member who stated they couldn’t do anything about it, I said I was going to cancel so I was transferred. The guy I spoke to was for once someone I could understand, he was able to sort my issue out in 10 minutes after being on the phone for 1 hour

  • dozenthlobster richard smith (@dozenthlobster) reported

    @virginmedia my broadband has been awful for months dropping out all the time but it’s dropping more and more and I’ve noticed the one side is starting to get hot

  • maverick_soph soph (@maverick_soph) reported

    @virginmedia It's for an install, just a problem somewhere that your systems think my house is still under construction even though I've been moved in for over a month and a half now so they won't tell me anything about when I'm actually going to get connected!

  • Thunderous71 Thunderous71 (@Thunderous71) reported

    @virginmedia Simply put the msg service is great idea for those that need it but for general use its too slow. And the security check has to be redone constany as taking so long. So yea....

  • Ellie16745463 Ellie (@Ellie16745463) reported

    @virginmedia I just said I done this already and it's still not working

  • perryman775 Matthew Perryman 🇪🇺 (@perryman775) reported

    @virginmedia I have, connectivity lost until 9pm apparently. Really, really poor.

  • MilkSquared_ Milk (@MilkSquared_) reported

    @joshharsant @virginmedia I’m having the same problems it’s getting ridiculous may as well move over to hey broadband lol

  • DharmaAbrahart Dharma Abrahart (@DharmaAbrahart) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply the issue has been happening all week. Yet toldnit is being looked at and will be called. There never seems to be a human. You answer the questions to be told the office is closed call back, why not say that at the beginning.

  • andyswiffen Andy Swiffen (@andyswiffen) reported

    What's happening to BBC1 on @virginmedia? Not working. Don't tell me it's due to heat?!

  • davorg Dave Cross (@davorg) reported

    @virginmedia You wanted to know how it went. I started with a price increase of £28. I got that down to £2. That's a good discount, of course. But it's depressing how I need to go through this dance every 12/18 months in order to keep your prices reasonable.

  • JaneSymons1 Jane Symons (@JaneSymons1) reported

    @virginmedia Your systems are designed to make it as difficult as possible to get through to technical support, or accounts. When you finally do, it's a complete lottery, some excellent some are working towards woeful
