    OMG... as a marketer with over 30 years experience I’ve just encountered the worst ever customer experience! Thank you @virginmedia for the opportunity of a very interesting case study that I will share with the world tomorrow.

  • JFab208 johnhughes FAB208 (@JFab208) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Maybe you could have got one of your staff to contact me directly instead as I am your customer. 6 days to get hold of you is dreadful

    @VirginMedia_One terrible service from virgin media. Three days trying to get a resolution to a poor WiFi service, gave them a call instead. 1hr 50mins waiting time to be told they wanted to increase my monthly bill by £3 per month to resolve their poor service! #awfulservice

  • PortiaSC Portia (@PortiaSC) reported from Bristol, England

  • dac5267 Dave Clark (@dac5267) reported from Yate, England

    @virginmedia What a load of nonsense, I pay you to provide a service, disconnections happen all the time and randomly, your service is shocking and is NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

  • misseschampers Lucy Champion (@misseschampers) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia hi :) I'm just coming up to 5 hours wait time on the messaging service. I havent had the same kind of automated messages as previously... is it working? Thank you!

    @virginmedia The guys are here now and have told me that the same issue that has been a problem the last 4 times still hasn’t been fixed. They are lovely and doing their best but it’s not looking good. You should be ashamed of yourselves

  • DanBassrunner RunaChallenge (@DanBassrunner) reported

    @virginmedia Well it doesn’t really help to customers who 100% rely on your services. In my household I have 2 people who work from home and another who is currently studying from home.

  • DAKershaw Dave (@DAKershaw) reported

    @virginmedia you customer service sucks! Will not send an engineer out to fix a problem that started after you carried works in my area? Wtf? I work from home. Can work because my Internet is so slow!

  • MGCOACHING4 Michael G (@MGCOACHING4) reported

    @virginmedia Why can’t people on phones help, it isn’t rocket science ?

  • suzybrrr Suzy (@suzybrrr) reported

    @virginmedia Returning equipment, billing issue and multiple other issues, can I please be provided with an email address of someone that can help?

  • andrew_folga Andrew Folga (@andrew_folga) reported

    @virginmedia the collection point. All in all your messaging to me has had no sense whatsoever and the general feedback from me is very poor. There is never a time when I can be sure what is discussed is actually going to happen or you register anything you say at all?

  • DanBassrunner RunaChallenge (@DanBassrunner) reported

    @virginmedia I registered for SMS updates but didn’t receive any. However the updates on the app from yesterday about estimated fix: 1. 17:05; 2. 22:30; 3. 10:00; 4. 14:00 - it’s ridiculous. I wonder what update will come at 2pm 🤔

  • OrrLeo Leo Orr (@OrrLeo) reported

    @hastilk @virginmedia Same for us, it’s been down since midday yesterday and is now due to be fixed at 14:00, @virginmedia can you please clarify what the issue is?

  • mjlynch Matt Lynch (@mjlynch) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, it now says 16:00. There’s no sign of technicians in our area either. This isn’t good enough, it shouldn’t take 2 days to fix a fault with no real info on what the problem is. Almost seems like customers are being lied to.

  • MGCOACHING4 Michael G (@MGCOACHING4) reported

    @virginmedia No how does it work - I need to speak to someone to explain a lot of issues ?

  • PC75UK Paul Cooke (@PC75UK) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t ring in. Refusing to supply an email or fix your WhatsApp is not good customer service is it? @BBCWatchdog for info. I am trying my best here. How do we proceed?
