-
Trudi Foster (@MsWhippet1) reported from St. Julians, Wales@virginmedia I was told to wait in this morning between 8am - 12pm for an engineer to fix my broadband. It's now 2pm and no sign of an engineer. I was told I'd be charged £25 if I missed the appointment. I think I should charge you for having to hang around for 6 hours waiting.

-
Steve Mowat (@SteveMowat4) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England@virginmedia Both those lights should be green. Any red lights mean there is a network fault either on a cable or on the box to which the cable screws into. Now please tell me, what is so difficult to send someone out to investigate that??
-

Tim Burns (@TimmyGrunt) reported from Cardiff, WalesAnyone suffering internet outage from @virginmedia ??
-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia Can I just ask why it is that you can respond within minutes on social media (where the public can see your actions) but then in private you are ignoring your customers and taking three weeks to deal with issues? If you have agents manning twitter why can’t you pick up the phone?
-
Michelle (@msb1302) reported from Treforest, Wales@virginmedia Nope still down and isn't just me in the area.
-
Steve Mowat (@SteveMowat4) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England@bristolbluegas @virginmedia @HiveHelper If someone could own a problem it would help. The engineer that came out today said, I just install hubs mate, I’m not authorised to lift man hole covers. Virgin told me yesterday this would be their “priority technician” that could fix everything. What a joke
-
Rob Downer (@NobbyD27) reported from Cardiff, Wales@syeporter180 @virginmedia I’m on virgin and it’s not that great Sye, I was going to sky before I renewed but had the same problem as you because I’d of had to wait months for BT to install a cable so just stuck to the devil I know in the end
-
Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia you SUCK, you have NO CUSTOMER service at all. Employ more staff and start to provide a service we are paying for RUBBISH SERVICE perhaps we need to move to @skytv !!!!
-
Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia I phoned THREE weeks ago to cancel our contact, there was a dispute over a cancellation fee. A manager was supposed to call me back, I’ve rang 5 times since to check as heard nothing- each time was told ‘within 48hrs’. Move out next Friday, what am I supposed to do????

JS (@SweeneyJoanne) reported@virginmedia @virginmedia you haven’t responded to my message from 3 days ago, horrendous customer service!!
-
Hughes #cans (@Hughes_is_great) reported@adzflowers @virginmedia @VictorMeldrew77 I've been waiting nearly 4 months for them to sort my account, I still can't get into it. Every time I get told they will "escalate my case to IT support" and nothing happens. Amazing connection, non existent customer service.
-
Joe Farrugia 🇬🇧🇲🇹🇪🇺 (@JoeFarrugia) reportedBeing messed up by @virginmedia. 1st we were never told the old box must be returned then they charge £90 for not returning it. Trying to get this sorted is such a hassle. You’re told one thing, nothing gets done then you’re told something else.
-
Face palm Vengance (@IsTheTruthToxic) reported@virginmedia Yes it does and it’s a bad system. Your tortuous phone tree system makes talking to the right people very difficult, having to phone for the best deal instead of being offered it by daily is predatory and unnecessary, you know the problems so fix them
-
aldo (@ukaldo2) reported@virginmedia The service has now been maintained but on us to ensure that's the case. You shouldn't have had one of your sales reps pressure my mother night after night without checking a service could be provided within your budget
-
Paul ▶️ (@customerchamp1) reportedWho remembers when @O2 customer service was good? Since the merger with the appalling @virginmedia it's been absolutely diabolical. Trying to help a vulnerable relative, been on hold for 45 minutes 🤮🤮🤮 to reset his password. Shameful.
