  • amybeardy Amy Beardmore (@amybeardy) reported from Winterbourne, England

    @amandavin @virginmedia I need fibre though because of stupid children streaming games and all sorts of nonsense. Anything other than virgin also comes with a £50 BT phone line installation. They’ve got me over a barrel

  • irfonw Irfon Watkins (@irfonw) reported from Bristol, England

  • mikelind2 Mike Lind 🦏 (@mikelind2) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia sadly having to post again. Home broadband down again. Your service is so unreliable it is useless. U have failed to provide a reliable broadband service and remain in breach of contract.

  • JimEBallantyne James E Ballantyne (@JimEBallantyne) reported from Bristol, England

    After another 30 mins on hold I’ve given up for today as you’re impacting my evening @Virgin @virginmedia @richardbranson Crap service 👎🏻 you never know who might be a returning customer in the future and this is such a poor experience #BadService #CancellingDueToPriceHike

  • TimWorth1 τ!m ω0ɍ†ɧ (@TimWorth1) reported from Bristol, England

    @granuailemalia @SkyUK Probably the same issue @virginmedia had a while ago.

  • mattyribbo Matt Ribbins (@mattyribbo) reported from Filton, England

    @virginmedia Wired. The issue isn't with my side of the network. It appears to be on the virgin side based on the router logs.

  • sbcallen Bruce Allen (@sbcallen) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia customers with difficult problems seem to be parked in telephone que until they go away. Really trying to work to Virgin. Still waiting 55 minutes bet they will just disconnect me!

  • sbcallen Bruce Allen (@sbcallen) reported from Bristol, England

    Virgin media service - connection goes down with 24 hours & no help from technical services, just reading from a script & no escalation. Giving up after a year of unacceptable service. Lovely and polite on social media, impossible once a customer #virginmedia

  • chefwonderwebb nick webb (@chefwonderwebb) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia why has it taken 32 mins on hold to cancel my subscription! I’m still waiting to talk to the person I spoke to 15mjns ago! Terrible service

  • 1210sounds Rich Hemming (@1210sounds) reported from Bristol, England

    @alone_music @virginmedia Jesus that’s bad, thought it could be done online the activation. I moved house and they said 20£ to move. What they didn’t say was that they renewed the contract and double billed me as they take one month in advance as a new contract. Complained to @virginmedia nothing done

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips, Esq. (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia down again... it’s been awful all day. Up and down. You really are a terrible provider.

  • sbcallen Bruce Allen (@sbcallen) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia after nearly a year of repeatedly dropped internet service finally asked them to turn off their Wi-fi kit so can use my own. Basic connection fails, again, and nothing left for support desk to blame - challenge that if it’s not on the script then no help

  • MattEwing7 Matt Ewing (@MattEwing7) reported from Bristol, England

    @Virgin @virginmedia @richardbranson Your customer service is so painful and appalling. 2 rings and the sales team answer, 20 minute transfer to Loyalty team, gave up when needing to be transferred to Contract Services team. FFS I only wanted to remain a customer!!!

  • LeeRendall Lee Rendall (@LeeRendall) reported from Bristol, England

    @charllou1 @virginmedia Genuine, was kept on hold 50 mins couple weeks back then when the operator came on told us there was an issue and i had to call back 😳 was FUMING!

  • shaner1989 Shane Richardson (@shaner1989) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia your support team are useless. 3 hours on calls today. I cannot get my time back that your operatives have wasted by hanging up or disconnecting 3 time.

  • RickLaze Rick Laze (@RickLaze) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia's customer services is the WORST

  • sbcallen Bruce Allen (@sbcallen) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia long wait times 40+ minutes and no fix just another que and a recorded message that will be charged by ‘Virgin Gadget Rescue Team’!. Virgin sets new standards in Customer Service.

  • KenTrowbridge3 Ken Trowbridge (@KenTrowbridge3) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Can we DM this issue please or give me a contact number where I can actually speak to someone without the intensely annoying waiting times. Thanks in advance and anticipation! Ken

  • RebekahMorriss 🌈Rebekah Rhian🦄 (@RebekahMorriss) reported from Bristol, England

    @gavindp2012 @virginmedia It's really annoying because my cctv is ran by the WiFi and it needs resetting all the time it's down

  • sbcallen Bruce Allen (@sbcallen) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Internet connection has been down, again, all day. BristolBS8. Automated reporting and another 23 minutes waiting for technical support

  • defebe dave stead (@defebe) reported

    @virginmedia Tivo.. ... A poor tired out tivo box that probably needs replacing... cough cough.

  • Parsonator Michael Parsons (@Parsonator) reported

    @virginmedia what you playing at!!! Been on hold for 1 hour and half now, spoke to 3 different departments about cancelling my services and no-one can help me. Is this how you keep customers by putting barriers infront of them!!!

  • ellefie Elle Field (@ellefie) reported

    @HayleyHall_UK @virginmedia Irgh, what a pain. And blummin' cheek with the exit fee, too! I've tried calling them as well but I'm just repeatedly stuck on hold. Yey. Top customer service - why would anyone want to stay with them when you're treated like this?!

  • aman_ja Aman Jain (@aman_ja) reported

    @virginmedia What else is the customer expected to do? Take up a full time job of calling @virginmedia until they oblige by picking up the phone?

  • kilsinc Kilsinc (@kilsinc) reported

    on hold for over an hour, call gets answered and immediately disconnected... @virginmedia I just want to cancel my package but conveniently you guys have left me waiting over an hour on the past 4 attempts. Already sent a letter and still heard nothing. #suspicious #conartist

  • kilsinc Kilsinc (@kilsinc) reported

    @virginmedia I won't be paying the next bill because I've tried cancelling my package since receiving your letter and no-one has answered in the hour on each separate occasion over the past 5 days. Absolute joke of a customer service team

  • DowbakinRyan Ryan Dowbakin (@DowbakinRyan) reported

    @virginmedia Can you provide me with an alternative number to call - I refuse to waste another 1+ hour of my time when I’ve committed so much time to resolving the issue. I think it’s appropriate for Virgin to contact me via phone now

  • jimwhitehouse84 Jim Whitehouse (@jimwhitehouse84) reported

    @virginmedia No, I’ve called 4 times already. Have no more time to waste on this. Currently on my 52nd hour of WhatsApp chat with no resolution

  • Notwat57 Kevin Tawton (@Notwat57) reported

    @virginmedia What are you talking about? I received notification of a price increase from 1st March 2022 and appears a general increase to all, not discounts ending. Your reference to last year makes no sense to my complaint!

  • JoshuaGilroy5 Joshua Gilroy (@JoshuaGilroy5) reported

    @virginmedia what's this joke? You've installed ti my property, done an install. Found cable to property is faulty, I've been without net/phone/TV for 3 days. Now being told have to wait another 11days? Why cancel old service if you planned for me to have no services for 14 days?
