    @virginmedia shocked and appalled by the rude and aggressive manner of one of your agents just now during an unsolicited sales call.

    @virginmedia It was with regards to my services.. When I phoned about it the lack of professionalism was horrendous.. When I mentioned the lack of professionalism I was basically told what is your problem. Awful really

    @Virgin_Victoria @virginmedia 1hr and 10mins later after speaking with CS they have confirmed that they cannot help me with my matter and a ticket has been raised which VM will be in touch with me by SMS within 5 working days. CS loved talking too me when I signed up a month ago. #virginmedia

    @virginmedia Just also discovered that even though I was told I wouldnt pay for gadget rescue & then I was charged in error. Called last weekend to sort and was told it was sorted, I’ve just been credited £5 rather than the £20 paid for initial set up. I am SO tired of this. Please fix it.

    So @virginmedia don’t understand my 78 year old deaf father cannot call them. They call me as asked out of the blue and tell me they can’t fix the broadband problem, they WONT send an engineer out and I’m getting upset because I’m not hearing what I want. They got that right x

    Oh @virginmedia internet is down! No surprise there! 💡

  • PlumbousSkin

    @virginmedia I experience this problem all the time. Our phones dont connect, our internet randomly drops out, this isnt a new problem. Just a frustrating one. Everytime we 'monitor it for a week then check back' nothing is ever fixed. Its just a bad service in general.

  • iwanevans
    Iwan Evans (@iwanevans) reported from Congleton, England

    @virginmedia Almost like you didn't read my original message... Your stock answer STILL doesn't ring true, just repeating the phrase I quoted in my original message to me again doesn't help one little bit

  • shent
    Matt (@shent) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia how is the admin panel so slow on the hub 3.0, it’s actually terrible and has been since release 😒 I can’t even access my DHCP settings

  • PlumbousSkin
    💻gremlins r us💻 (@PlumbousSkin) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Weve had an engineer out, he replaced our router then buggered off. The problems kept happening even with a new router.. its been months of calling & faffing around trying to get this problem fixed & still nothing, its a joke.

    💻gremlins r us💻 (@PlumbousSkin) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia damn i get its 2am but your internet is Shit. If it wasnt for student accomodation you can bet your ass I'd have changed provider by now..

  • Andreaeday
    Andrea Day (@Andreaeday) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia 2/2 when modem mode was suggest I was just told it “turns off WiFi” - no help on how to fix. VPN is common from domestic WiFi - you should be clear and transparent to customers that you don’t support rather than charging for gadget rescue for something that can’t be fixed.

  • Andreaeday
    Andrea Day (@Andreaeday) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia <sigh> suppose I really shouldn’t have thought that you would provide a good customer service experience based on my experience of my recent dealings. Sad; Virgin Media used to be pretty awesome. Disappointed.

    @virginmedia hey guys lost complete internet service in ST3 area, router states: Provisioning state: Offline and internet (Access Denied) 😔

    Oh shit my bad, @virginmedia 's having problems again... what a surprise..

  • mymodlifecrisis
    sean cosgrove (@mymodlifecrisis) reported from Congleton, England

    @virginmedia apparently I have to be at my dads house. Well that would be a long shot as I live 20 miles away and have to work. So they WONT help a 78 year old deaf man. Richard Branson. You’ll be 78 one day and no ****** will help you.

  • mymodlifecrisis
    sean cosgrove (@mymodlifecrisis) reported from Congleton, England

    @virginmedia I’ll cancel the contract and they will soon be on the phone with threats. Bring it on. I’m ready for you

  • adam_bocca
    Adam Bocca (@adam_bocca) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia I signed up and got my install on Saturday the 2nd. I was trying to login to my account via the App and through a webpage with me not hearing anything regarding my first billing process And it's not letting me do so I just get an error message saying that my user does not exist.

  • mymodlifecrisis

    @soundoftheatom @dec1878 Don’t go to @virginmedia My 78 dads doesn’t work or his broadband. He is deaf and can’t talk to them on the phone but they won’t send an engineer out. Happy to take his money though. They’ll sit up when I cancel it tomorrow

  • shent
    Matt (@shent) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately not, I even gave two phone numbers and an email, just want to know if there is an issue local to me or if it’s a network issue, I can deal with downtime but drop outs and high latency really are frustrating, can’t really have another half a day off work...

    @catmur34 @virginmedia Similar to James. We called to say the complaint was ignored, they gave us a number C-170222706. Then we get an email to say it’s closed. Ok… we will be going to @ofcom. What a joke.

  • BycroftTom
    Tom Bycroft ❤🥁 (@BycroftTom) reported

    @virginmedia Over the phone agent was so rude and not helpful at all sick of your company i bought new contract and now been told no to get 3 wifi boosters which am entitled to

  • D_Law666
    David (@D_Law666) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia My point was really about your call centers causing more problems than solving them. Miscommunication has ended up with a technician coming out to the house when he isn't really needed. I was originally told all I needed to do was swap a new box for an old one.

  • donnaxx_xx
    xxDonnaxx 🌸 (@donnaxx_xx) reported

    @virginmedia 1gb broadband is useless with hub 4. Son has been told he needs to buy a mesh router or put up with no wifi. Having to connect to mobile for teams calls and you won’t let him go back to hub 3. Service is disgusting

  • Ian1603
    Ian1558 (@Ian1603) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks - still issues but I have checked the service status site and that site has confirmed I still have issues. Asked me to check again in four hours. If still not fixed they will book an engineer

  • patfxl
    Patricia F (@patfxl) reported

    @virginmedia I have signed in my account to check many times now and followed all the usual reboot... and done hard reset as discussed with your team. There is obviously an issue at a different level but there is no communication

  • Theoola1
    PEMPEHREMPE (@Theoola1) reported

    Virgin are fools. How can they reduce my unlimited phone data and now my signal coverage is moving mad. Can’t even keep up 4g @virginmedia

  • spacked
    katie hoolahan (@spacked) reported

    @virginmedia To even get the option to talk to someone I have to be willing to have my internet restarted/turned off for a bit, but I can't because it would interrupt my housemates that need it for work. Then phone lines are closed outside the hours that its okay for me to do that.

    @virginmedia Your lieing to a #Loyal customer been on the phone and your telling me £57 a month is the cheapest you do,its all LIES. #TheCustomerIsAlwaysRight

    @virginmedia The complaint was raised through your WhatsApp. I have spoke to them again today. They said it's not possible to ring me. I showed them the screenshot and then said sorry, we will ring you within 2 hours. 5 hours later still nothing. sthey are as useful as a chocolate teapot
