    @virginmedia So I had loss of service but not complete even tho the service I had wasn't enough to even complete a 15 minute online training. Great. Even though you only have cold water, would you still get a bath? Nah don't think you would

  • snathe
    Him Over There 💙👨‍🚀🚀 (@snathe) reported from Halewood, England

    The scammer who just rang our landline, claiming to be from "Virgin Media" and saying there was a problem with my internet may have just received the full force of my wrath and ire. And, genuinely, no ***** were given.

  • realjackoh187
    Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia Visit was fine replaced wifi. I was never out of Internet completely like it says only your compensation page, but it was equally as bad since my step daughter had online training to do which couldn't be done at all. My children also were not able to do homework.

  • MissDonnaCooke
    Cookie (@MissDonnaCooke) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia @its_coco_do Well I've clearly been forgotten conveniently after calling telling an agent I want to cancel my order and being cut off. Promised a call back. Nothing. Every time I call I get dropped. Ridiculous

  • MissDonnaCooke
    Cookie (@MissDonnaCooke) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia sorry really trying to be chill but this is horrendous customer service. Cut off after 40 mins, call back which I answer immediately and cut off again. No further attempt from your team to contact me. I've told them i want to cancel my order can you please confirm?

  • realjackoh187
    Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia Just wifi, the phones tablets tv all just going off randomly. I have now booked a technician but I have been doing the troubleshooting for 2 days and its saying the issue is being fixed. Its only today they have said to send a technician

  • realjackoh187
    Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia I'm checking online and it's saying there is an issue with the TV, but saying broadband is fine. I've had constant disconnections throughout the day for 2 weeks now. It works for a few minutes then goes off. What is going on?

  • perry_shoemark_

    For the sake of your sanity.. avoid @virginmedia like the plague. The worst customer service on the planet. Two months and still no broadband install. Jokers

    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Heswall, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply. I appreciate that but I’ve already raised the issue and was told I would be called back today, it’s now almost 5pm and I’ve not heard anything. I appreciate you might be busy but your customer service is shocking, as always…

    @Sarahlw_95 @virginmedia Sarah I wouldn’t bother with WhatsApp, I’ve been speaking to various people for over a month on there trying to sort my incorrect bill. They just tell you it’s resolved when it isn’t. Scandalous service.

    @NadineDorries @virginmedia @O2 You really do thrive on misleading the British public, don't you? What an awful Cabinet we have governing us...

  • perry_shoemark_
    Perry (@perry_shoemark_) reported from Abenbury, Wales

    @virginmedia Have already cancelled my account after going round in circles for months. My first complaint was closed without anyone looking into it. Raised another one which I still haven’t been contacted about. Crazy

  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Heswall, England

    @virginmedia is it possible to DM someone to cancel a contract? I’ve been on hold for 45 minutes, finally got through to someone who said it’s not within their remit, transferred me to another department and now the line is silent and I’ve been waiting almost an hour!???

    @JimSterling @virginmedia Yep they hang up constantly and pretend the call dropped or something if you ever bring it up. Virgin don't have nearly good enough of a WiFi to treat people that ******

  • JimSterling
    Commander Stephanie Sterling (@JimSterling) reported

    Got further this time but when they said they'd transfer me to their pre-installation cancellation dept. it hung up again. Jesus Christ, @virginmedia you are *really* horrible at this.

  • Burgeeez
    Steve Burgess (@Burgeeez) reported

    @virginmedia hi, I can’t seem to find a link to the chat messenger service, can you please advise? Haven’t got time to wait on a call to then get hung up on again and this has proved most successful in the past. Thanks

  • AQueerPanda
    Zinda, his face black, his eyes red🖖🏻 (@AQueerPanda) reported

    @JimSterling Virgin Media are the single worst customer service experience I've had since TalkTalk straight up lied to me about buying out my ISP, I've had a good few meltdowns from stress with it. Good luck getting it sorted, you'll need it. I wish other ISPs offered such competitive speed

  • evilgeniusuk
    (insert funny name here) (@evilgeniusuk) reported

    @JimSterling @virginmedia if you need the connection for business (which obviously you do), I wouldnt touch Virgin Media with someone elses barge poll never mind my own. They are absolutely dreadful and they dont care. Their routers are shite, their tv boxes somehow worse.
