    **** off Virgin Media, useless bollocks

  • tenchylad Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too

  • pauljacques83 Paul Jacques (@pauljacques83) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Been in my new house 13 day and for the third time tomorrow I have a @virginmedia technician coming out to 'fix' my wifi. Fingers crossed this one actually takes and it's third time's the charm

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    Ye gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    A week of no issues after a month of next to no tv and now it starts all over again. I have sound and the guide but just a black screen on every channel. So glad my contract is up, deffo going to be leaving this time. Waste of time and money!!!!! @virginmedia

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia can you help me please everytime I try to log in the virgin media app on my mobile account it's logs me off all the time why ?

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Why can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia 2 technicians over a week period, 4 visits. TV back on but Internet on and off now. Will be ringing Sky tomorrow and also your cancellation team. Clearly this is my service from now on.

  • Stevedey Steve Dey (@Stevedey) reported from Newburn, England

    @GingesLife @virginmedia Honestly mate it’s a joke! Just paid the bill yesterday and now the cheeky buggers can’t even provide the service they charge us so much for.

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia This appears to be a known issue on your forums (phantom calls) but we refuse to be charged for the visit. Also waiting for a WhatsApp for over an hour because the direct debit still has his late wife's name on account after 7+ years, & we can't change it online (same acc no.).

  • clairekitty12 claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I did the online thing before contacting u it says needs a tech . But it doesnt it needs your outage fixed .

  • geemiller71 Gareth Miller 🇺🇦 (@geemiller71) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia broadband down??? Ne34????

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.

  • Danzzig Danzzig 🎮 (@Danzzig) reported

    @virginmedia Only problem I’ve had is the shed at the end of our garden was poor on the connect app. It said I needed a booster but the “get now” button wasn’t working. Any other way I can order one?

  • MsTKIndeed TK (@MsTKIndeed) reported

    @virginmedia Router has no Internet light. Can the known tv problem in that postcode affect broadband?

  • carlmchugh carl mchugh (@carlmchugh) reported

    Well that's my tv package and internet down till god knows when till we getting credited to our accounts or what? @virginmedia #virginmediadown

  • DorothyTerhune Dorothy Terhune (@DorothyTerhune) reported

    @virginmedia Agent 2 who was called the day after in order to rectify confirmed that the initial agent had incorrectly processed the request and notified that while he could not turn the service back on for my final day at old address, it would definitely be fine for move

  • PIZZA_BLOB PIZZABLOB (@PIZZA_BLOB) reported

    @MsTKIndeed @virginmedia @Cheqraise1 They're going to keep sending you in circles as if they dont know what the issue is until the issue is fixed on their end in order to no have the whole country register a loss of service otherwise they lose out on profits

  • Cheqraise1 Savvy (@Cheqraise1) reported

    @virginmedia said 4pm but it is back now, but for how long?!. This isn't just about today though. Its about this becoming a common affair. Also when are you going to start compensating customers in a particular area for outage time? You shouldn't need to be asked for it!! Log this complaint!

  • decksteria decksteria (@decksteria) reported

    Extremely dishonest sales tactics from @virginmedia over the weekend. Who do I make a formal complaint to? @richardbranson

  • johnylowe RubberJohny (@johnylowe) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. Apparently we are not. The neighbors service seems to fine as well.

  • h_rbond Hannah Bond (@h_rbond) reported

    @virginmedia This is as terrible a response as we get on the phone! I have no intention of using yet another method to communicate with @virginmedia when it is your responsibility as a service provider to provide internet, & whichever method of comms we use, we still have no connection!
