    @virginmedia Totally shocking services again, tried web chat messaging etc crap. Speed test less that 12 mbps, paying for 100mbps 🤯🤯🤯 What are you going to do it In off after 20+ years of pain, no more!

  • TobyOsborne1 Toby Osborne (@TobyOsborne1) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to a rude adviser who said they’d escalate it. However my pac code has already been swapped out and there was no urgency. I am now waiting in the hope that someone else doesn’t get control of my phone

  • tinabadley Tina Badley (@tinabadley) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia is everything down in BS1? Trying to work and can't send any emails 🙄

  • VickyLorych VickyL (@VickyLorych) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmobileuk @virginmedia hi I ordered a phone on the 29 July not heard anything until yesterday then order was done but no credit agreement received phone call to you again for an hour today no resolution call handler said he would call back still no call 😩

  • derbypascal Derby Pascal (@derbypascal) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia The service checker just says its down but doesn't tell me what's going on.

  • MTurnerNFL Matthew Turner (@MTurnerNFL) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Even if everything is replaced. Box, entire cabling, whatever. I'm not getting the service that I pay for, over an extended period of time.

  • TobyOsborne1 Toby Osborne (@TobyOsborne1) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia My account has been compromised so I can’t sign in to join?

  • coxtonycox Tony Cox (@coxtonycox) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia stop emailing and texting me every day threatening to fine me £100 for the non return of your equipment. On 23 August I booked for one of your engineers to collect it on 13 September. This poor customer service is one of the reasons I left Virgin after 10+ years.

  • enzo_faulhaber Enzo Faulhaber (@enzo_faulhaber) reported from Yate, England

    @virginmedia running with some issue with some of your staff member. As they promise me to Install a broadband at my house but now ignore 🧐

  • martinparfrey Martin Parfrey (@martinparfrey) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia, your customer support is shocking. Any chance I could speak to a human being not a BOT? Even when I tried to complain, you cut me off!

  • AngelMel2017 AngelMelSelector (@AngelMel2017) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for your reply. He told me that the cheque had not been activated when I first called 5th June. I was told it would be sent out via check. He told me today it would take a further 2/3 weeks. Sadly was no help at all. 😒😥

  • Yippers Amy (@Yippers) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Email to say it was resolved by offer of an apology which I never accepted so I called customer services who offered the credit of overpayment onto my account which I’m still waiting for.

  • MTurnerNFL Matthew Turner (@MTurnerNFL) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Hi again guys. Exactly the same experience. They can't help me because by the time I've waited on hold, and weve discussed the problem again (for the 20th time or so), the problem has resolved. It's still happening 4 times an evening and it needs fixing. Please help.

  • AngelMel2017 AngelMelSelector (@AngelMel2017) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I'm disappointed with the service I have received. Finally ended my contract, claimed my credit refund only for it still not arrive 6weeks later. Called call centre & was told I'd have to wait 2/3 more weeks. Why? Its unacceptable to have to wait so long. #complaint

  • tinabadley Tina Badley (@tinabadley) reported from Bristol, England

    @BookDreamerSal @virginmedia Having the same problem. Just called Virgin - it seems many people are too. They're trying to sort it.

  • AngelMel2017 AngelMelSelector (@AngelMel2017) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Hello, following on from my tweet regarding complaint of not receiving my credit refund. I have not heard back from the complaints team. What's the best way to proceed? Thanks

  • derbypascal Derby Pascal (@derbypascal) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I'm not sure what you mean, I literally have no signal or mobile data, hundreds of people are in the same position. And others with EE and Three are also down in this area but no one knows why...

  • joannevarney68 Joanne Varney (White (@joannevarney68) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia All checks done, says to check back in 22 hours 😲 if still a issue book a engineer

  • TobyOsborne1 Toby Osborne (@TobyOsborne1) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia As early as possible before whoever does this manages to help themselves to my money like last time

  • sarahcliftonsc Sarah (@sarahcliftonsc) reported from Kingswood, England

  • VickyLorych VickyL (@VickyLorych) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to get hold of you since you said you’re putting up my bill by 7.5% in COVID but you hung up on me before someone picked up and now your phone lines are down 😡

  • GreyOLady Jan (@GreyOLady) reported

    Interest rate cut again @santander, monthly cost up again £3.50 @virginmedia Cross enough cheap deal being offered to new customers, the old customers being penalised once more, not Good Enough! off to Customer Services!

  • crawshaw69 Tony C (@crawshaw69) reported

    @virginmedia Ok technical have told me they cannot authorise the 360 this needs to be done via CS!! They just put my back, sorry but I need to hang up 2 hours. With no replacement sorted!

  • BewitchedBB Clare Leybourne (@BewitchedBB) reported

    @virginmedia Ok, thank you for your help so far - it’s something at least. So just to clarify, there’s no actual customer service available at the moment - you’re relying on forums to do the work? I’m ok-ish with technology, but not everyone is. Even with the situation, that seems poor.

  • Yinkster Yinkster (@Yinkster) reported

    @funkomi @virginmedia Okay that's good, I hope that makes things better👍🏾. And yes absolutely, paying for a backup is not great on the wallet. But the bitter truth is technology will fail from time to time, so those of us who rely on it heavily, should include backups/alternatives in our "strategy"

  • StellaSadler Stella Sadler (@StellaSadler) reported

    @virginmedia There’s no issues in this area. It’s my wifi that’s rubbish, we’re getting right low speeds and should be having M200. I’m sick of it and always using 4G. I’m paying for a service and not getting it!! I’m going to leave when my contract is up!

  • Cantankerousuk micky (@Cantankerousuk) reported

    @virginmedia good day i have been trying to call your number 03454541111 and it says not possible to connect my call. Please help

  • clarewolfenden thegriffter (@clarewolfenden) reported

    @jenniseex @virginmedia They are really poor

  • delatrixx1 @_delatrixx (@delatrixx1) reported

    @virginmedia need to sort their callers out...rude and extremely unhelpful.

  • _Ljmog95 Ljmog95 (@_Ljmog95) reported

    Day 2 of arguing with @virginmedia to find out the damn cancellation fee. Its rediculas the levels they go to to not cancel an account. The desperacy is crazy. Just ******* tell me how much it is the cancel. Why is that so hard. Im told to call and its a ******* task and a half!
