  • BRFCSamuel Sam 🏴‍☠️ (@BRFCSamuel) reported from Kingswood, England

    .@virginmedia telling us to sit and wait for 24 hours without internet just incase our Wi-Fi starts working again before they’ll actually do anything, great customer service… not 👍🏻

  • algro10 Al (@algro10) reported from Clevedon, England

    @stewartcarter6 Appears it’s a Virgin media issue , shambles

  • xChuChux911 Hi, call me Chu x (@xChuChux911) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I never gave out any personal information as I knew it was a scam cus I'm with Sky. The number was 02045099664 but it was spoofed. Lady had an Indian accent and said technicians in my area had fould a fault which was affecting my computer.

  • chrisorman Chris Orman (@chrisorman) reported from Bradley Stoke, England

    @virginmedia Tried to send you a WhatsApp message but got the following message back: "Thanks for choosing to Message us today. We don’t have availability to accept any more messages for faults at the current time." Why is getting help so difficult?

  • algro10 Al (@algro10) reported from Clevedon, England

    @10sam_h Yeah likewise, virgin media awful still not sorted it

  • chrisorman Chris Orman (@chrisorman) reported from Bradley Stoke, England

    Just spoken to @virginmedia customer services about red light on my hub. They GUARANTEED that the light will revert to white in the next 24 hours. Wonder what happen if their guarantee fails?

  • amy_noony Amz (@amy_noony) reported from Bristol, England

    Virgin media make me 🤬 Been with them for 6yrs (no other option in our flats), paid their extortionate prices & received pretty poor intermittent service. Moving house & they don’t supply our new area 🥳 but they would like to charge a cancellation fee of £30.38

  • LetRIP Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia Quite the worst customer contact centre ever. Website does not offer phone or email contact. Only way to get web chat is to go to complaints page. 1 hour to get a 1 minute task done. Deliberately cut off twice. #poorservice

  • j_bettany Jacob (@j_bettany) reported from Clevedon, England

    So many scammers calling from '@VirginMedia Technical Support' at the moment. 5 in 24 hours. I've taken to suggesting they might think about getting a different job but heartbreaking to get the response, 'can you give me one?' It's basically #organisedcrime built on #poverty

  • LetRIP Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia No. Your chat representative cut me off. Have wasted over an hour already. You must be joking if you think I’m going to waste more time on your awful service

  • LetRIP Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia Yes. That isn’t the point though. Your website has no information about how to contact you. And your web chat takes 1 hour to do the task of reporting bad speeds. Your contact support needs vast improvement.

  • gillih Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England

    @virginmedia I have got this sorted with your team now. Helpful person. But I suggest changing your auto system to give callers an idea of wait time. Better customer service.

  • emmainglasgow emmainbristol (@emmainglasgow) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia what's the deal, my box hasn't worked for 2 days??? This is the 3rd technical problem lasting more than 2 days that I've had this year. This is ridiculous now

  • hurleyb0b Rob Hurley ✈️ (@hurleyb0b) reported from Bristol, England

    Hey @virginmedia there’s something VERY wrong with my Wi-Fi. I followed your online instructions and it didn’t clear the problem. I have a really busy few days. What’s the quickest, easiest way of getting it sorted?

  • AndyMWilcox Andy Wilcox (@AndyMWilcox) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia My broadband keeps disconnecting. This is my 4th time contacting and it gets worse each time you apparently fix something. Please can you fix it. I cannot work at home and I’ve just been booted out of your online chat to resolve the problem!

  • brizzleboy pete jones (@brizzleboy) reported from Avonmouth, England

    @virginmedia Sadly the phone never gets answered,we know if they did answer, someone in the retention centre might even help?

  • gillih Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Bristol, England

    Hi @virginmedia I want to cancel my account. Still waiting to speak to someone after > 1 hour. Advice please?

  • williamjbrown william brown (@williamjbrown) reported from Bristol, England

    @BorisJohnson I can only get virginmedia (at an extortionate price) as it’s the only one who supply more than slow basic speeds - and this is the centre of bristol. Nothings improved for most of us - not only for this but everything else since you’ve wrecked our economy

  • BRFCSamuel Sam 🏴‍☠️ (@BRFCSamuel) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia This contact was via the phone. He did give a reason, the reason being he didn’t know what the problem was. So told us to sit here and wait with no Wi-Fi and hope it sorts itself out.

  • Sharpy_G Sharpy (@Sharpy_G) reported

    @virginmedia Honestly this says very little for long standing existing customers and cashing in on the pandemic #WorkFromHome situation by also instigating broadband price hikes for them is pretty poor #virginmedia #poorcustomerservice

  • vforvelvetta V (@vforvelvetta) reported

    @virginmedia We've checked the service link (doesn't show any issues) + contacted support but haven't heard back about anything specific in the area. No idea what could be wrong, but it's affecting the whole household.

  • ZarahFrostt Frosty Knickers (@ZarahFrostt) reported

    @virginmedia Yes tried that and still not working. This has been a common occurrence since we have been with virgin media. It's so frustrating too as it interrupts a lot of important stuff

  • Egborne1 Egborne (@Egborne1) reported

    @virginmedia now I've just spoken to a woman who had the worst quality line ever who has asked the same questions as the other woman and has now put me on hold, not heard anything for 5 minutes

  • jeffdance1 . (@jeffdance1) reported

    @virginmedia I didn't have a package change. I've still got the same package. My contract was for £44 a month and I've got a rolling £9 managers voucher to bring my bill down to £35. I changed address and paid the £35 fee separately

  • 1tappleby Thomas Appleby (@1tappleby) reported

    @virginmedia Experiencing serious broadband performance issue for the past 11 days. 2 phone calls, 1 complaint, 3 hours wasted on the phone and zero progress. I have all the facts I need to cancel and claim money back unless someone from @virginmedia cares enough to contact me?

  • ClareBullock Clare Bullock (@ClareBullock) reported

    @virginmedia Really poor customer service yet again. I have been passed round 5 departments, no help at all and after 2 hours waiting on the phone I have now been cut off. Please could a customer service manager call me. #CustomerService #shambles #Unacceptable

  • Emma_Palmee Emma_palmee (@Emma_Palmee) reported

    @virginmedia And here we go again. No internet no phone no tv. When will this be back SO16? I'm getting sick and tired of this. Do we get at least a month free as this is your issue!!!!!!

  • HolliexSage Hollie Oconnell (@HolliexSage) reported

    @virginmedia been trying to get online support for over a week via live chat without any luck, how can we get support?

  • semmysonic Craig (@semmysonic) reported

    @virginmedia why does your app never connect to the hub. Worked to set it up but now can't find it!
