  • rimibar ɹɐqᴉɯᴉɹ (@rimibar) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia right now I'm super frustrated. (1) You sent me a TV box that is really poor quality. (2) I call to change it, telling them I would consiser upgrade. (continued...)

  • BlackMayan PASTOR WILL🇲🇼🇬🇧 (@BlackMayan) reported from Keynsham, England

    Or @virginmedia just being shit as usual.

  • DaveWilliams159 discodave (@DaveWilliams159) reported from Patchway, England

    @virginmedia had the phone disconnected on me 4 times already this morning trying to speak to your complaints team for over 2 hours today!! Shocking service 😡

  • Bridgey21 Emma Blackburn (@Bridgey21) reported from Backwell, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi is not working despite paying someone to install it and about 7 hours of troubleshooting so far. One of your agents was helping me and was supposed to call me back 25 minutes ago but hasn’t yet and booster issue still not fixed

  • jongodfrey Jon Godfrey (@jongodfrey) reported from Saltford, England

    I can’t wait. Awful service and complaints handling by @virginmedia so looking forward to @theTRUESPEED

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

    @virginmedia To repeat, your service drops for a few minutes a day. By the time I check, it’s back. It absolutely frustrates me. On Tuesday, 4mins *just as I needed to start a Skype w a customer*. > 2

  • bobktheking Bob Krysiak (@bobktheking) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I have had a terrible experience with Roshan technical support at virgin media. After reporting a fault with my WIFI network three times, he put the phone down on me. These technical support people are arrogant rude and not helpful at all!

  • rimibar ɹɐqᴉɯᴉɹ (@rimibar) reported from Bristol, England

    I ask to speak to a Manager, you put me straight through to a line that says it's now closed, call back tomorrow. That's 32 minutes of my life wasted. Bad service, badly trained call centre staff, not happy @virginmedia

  • LouRipley Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia No point, tried Twitter several times to no avail. Calls = wasted hours of ones life. Sign for letter now sent to complaints as 2 official complaint emails had “no” response. Next stop Ofcom.

  • rjgux Richard George (@rjgux) reported from Kingswood, England

    @dangerous_85 @virginmedia I really don’t see the point in the service checker. There’s clearly an issue but still says ‘No known issues’. Rediculous

  • CGBadley Chris Badley (@CGBadley) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Yea, yea. I’ll just carry on being a long term customer mug until my year’s up thanks

  • olikend oliver kendall (@olikend) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia also was offer a system that would improve the WiFi in the house. The netgear pl1000 arrived yesterday and doesn’t give me@any further WiFi coverage. It just extends the network. I only have the one router..

  • olikend oliver kendall (@olikend) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Thanks the router was out next to the tv by the outside wall, so we’ve never been able to use the WiFi in other parts of the house. It really only works well in that room.

  • LouRipley Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia Never given a reference, sent 2 email complaints have acknowledgement as proof but you guys never even bothered with a reference let alone a proper response

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

    @virginmedia - your pathetic service continues. Please get your customer service team to respond to my complaint URGENTLY. 706480004

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

    Hey @virginmedia - down again. No. You DM me. You fill in your form. You call an engineer. I’m extremely tired of shit service. I’m running my business hotspotting from my @ThreeUK iPhone while your broadband does... oh I dunno.

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

    God you’re hopeless @virginmedia . If I was as poor as you, I’d be out of a job. Broadband down again in BS6. Just another irritating 7mins. Never long enough to fill in your engineers form.

  • davina79 Davina S (@davina79) reported from Bradley Stoke, England

    Argh #virginmedia - your WiFi/broadband has been awful for days! Not great when you’re working from home and can’t connect. We pay a fortune for this! #notgoodenough

  • slip_rehill slip_rehill (@slip_rehill) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia thanks, we'd checked that already and no issues. we have tv back but no on demand or broadband yet.

  • amias Cut and Pastryarch (@amias) reported from Bristol, England

    @albanwr @cybergibbons I don't use any of my Samsung TVs smart features and deny it network access for that exact reason. But my virgin media V6 box and Netflix account are happily sending sweet something back all the time.

  • ThanAndreou Than Andreou (@ThanAndreou) reported

    @virginmedia I've been cut off from three different support calls and been transferred around endlessly on others. All this a day after deciding to transfer virgin to my new home instead of moving to Sky. Seems like a very poor decision on my part. Who can I contact about this?

  • ScarlettIreson Scarlett ireson (@ScarlettIreson) reported

    @virginmedia Ok. Was trying to explain to ur customer service on the phone the situation with my mums phone. As mentioned earlier the lady was ignoring me and when I asked to speak to manager was rude. She then hung up. I don’t want to share my deets over socials, do u email?

  • JCoppar S JC (@JCoppar) reported

    @virginmedia No, i wanted to ask for an engineer to be sent over to check my broadband service. Since it says everything is working fine when i run the tests myself. If the problem persists then I’m moving forward to cancellation.

  • emilyscatchpole Emily S. Catchpole (@emilyscatchpole) reported

    @virginmedia my mum called yesterday, 2pm to say her TV was down. Person she spoke to assured no prob in area and that engineer would call back within 4hrs. Still nothing and still not working. I checked status and says may be out until 9am on 7th? But not necessarily same prob.

  • arm431888 Anthony McGlynn (@arm431888) reported

    @virginmedia Next move will be another engineer request and then I can cancel. Should have moved to @skytv when I had the chance and saved myself the troubles

  • turk6789 Ozan (@turk6789) reported

    @virginmedia can you give me an update on the surrey/kingston area, why is the internet down?

  • turk6789 Ozan (@turk6789) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah it’s down in my area, so this a problem for everyone in my area with VM and not me? Sounds a silly question but just wanna know so I can see how to take the situation

  • theworstbill Bill Adams (@theworstbill) reported

    @virginmedia I see you’ve finally admitted there is an issue and it that will take another four hours (3:30pm) to fix after first saying 12:15pm, then 2:15pm. You really hate your customers don’t you? @IAmNigelMcHugh

  • IAMDANNUTTYNUTT Dan Nutt (@IAMDANNUTTYNUTT) reported

    @virginmedia The issue of resetting the router and not telling the customer. Imagine if that would have been a customer who had no idea how to fix and then having to wait for another engineer visit or a family member to come and help them

  • orry2011 Orry White (@orry2011) reported

    @virginmedia anychance of a call back. Been trying to cancel services now for 2 weeks!!
