    @virginhelp @virginmedia Still waiting for them to help me... Good thing my son isn't at uni, 430 miles away and without a working phone thanks to these incompetent buffoons

    @virginmedia Follow me and I will send you my account number by DM. Someone just needs to look at the call notes and text notes to determine my complaint. I’ve already used web chat.

    @virginmedia @Trinaw0430 Same in Exeter. Local community Facebook pages for alphington and st Thomas both reporting Virgin media down. Virgin media page day so issues.

    @virginmedia really is a poor service. Once again sitting here waiting for my daily service drop out to reconnect. They are the only option for fibre at present. They know it too.

    @virginmedia Good Morning. The issue seems to have resolved overnight but this does keep happening

    @virginmedia As per many comments in this thread I have suffered at the hands of terrible VM customer service. Employees don’t seem to have the tools to do a decent job. So many pillars & posts to be passed between. VM ok when it works but if you need help...

    @WhichUK Thread below a snapshot of my frustration with Virgin Media customer care & their complaint handling process.

    @virginmedia Hi. Following up the comment above. I have heard nothing from the team. Your complaint handling process is broken.

    @virginmedia Amy chance of responding to @virginhelp suggestion that you might be able to help?

  • exeteralex
    Alex Squire (@exeteralex) reported from Exeter District, England

    @virginmedia we’ve been without a landline for at least 3 & a bit days now, the online test says no issues and yet when you use a mobile to go through all the options it says we are aware of an issue, I know things happen now and again but I think 3+ days is more than excessive.

    @laurahiggins_ @virginmedia Honestly, I know it’s a first world problem, but if the taps didn’t provide water when you turned them on there would be outrage. With broadband it just seems all the companies in #Exeter get away with it. We tried BT before and they were #pants

    Apologies if my tweets with Virgin Media have landed in your timeline this evening. They couldn’t DM me and all other avenues of complaint have failed.

    @virginmedia your customer service is woeful! Leaving soon, if I can just get someone on the phone lines to sort it! Apparently not knowing my password, brings your processes to a standstill and it’s my fault! #notgoodenough

  • EmmaOrca1971
    Em J Hamilton (@EmmaOrca1971) reported from Exeter District, England

    @virginmedia yet again more connectivity/TiVo issues in the EX4 area. Not great when working from home and you can’t access your important meetings. How about reducing our bills as we’re not getting the 24/7 service we’re paying for.

  • TheMikeNoon
    Mike Noon (@TheMikeNoon) reported from Exeter District, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for your response. The issue returned swiftly after the engineers visit and has continued to deteriorate and now the picture is not visible nor the sound.

  • jdcecfc
    justin courtney (@jdcecfc) reported from Exeter District, England

    @virginmedia such poor staff in the call centre, seemed very smug and happy not to help a customer of over 30 years, eurobell, telewest then virgin, total loyalty and no respect from your staff. Looks like we shal be going to sky after all these years. Pathetic

  • MElcoate
    Martin Elcoate (@MElcoate) reported from Topsham, England

    @virginmedia I’m complaining about the difficulty & time taken to resolve an issue. Being on the helpline for over 2 hrs, being passed on numerous times, each time going thru security, each time explaining issue, people not calling back when promised, complaint not addressed. feel powerless.

  • DevonLifeEd
    Andy Cooper (@DevonLifeEd) reported from Exeter District, England

    @virginmedia My partner spoke to your customer service team today without much resolution. Suggested we need a booster or a better bundle. Not sure that’s the best answer, given the price we are paying. And service was A1 for 12 months until about 4 weeks ago. There must be a reason for this.

    @virginmedia sort your virgin tv go app always seems to go down. Soo poor

    @virginmedia Are you lot out of your minds? Another outage/shutdown on N11 1BA? WILL THERE EVER BE A MONTH WHERE THE SERVICE RUNS SMOOTHLY??? You’re the worst internet provider I’ve ever had, and I’ve had plenty!

    @virginmedia To everyone with no tv channels - try switching your box off for 2 min then on again. Mine's not worked since thursday. The service checker this morning STILL says there's problems, but i've just reset the box and it's back on

  • MableandMeUK
    Onyourbikeson (@MableandMeUK) reported

    @virginmedia your O2 account integration is through worst ever. All I want to do is check my O2 bundle and I'm stuck in a never ending loop of being asked to link my accounts. Been crap for so long.

  • chrisdawson_1

    @virginmedia Morning I am trying to claim the switching credit and submit the proof from my old provider but there doesn't seem a way to do this anywhere. Can you help please?
