  • 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?

  • dave_backwell
    David Lloyd (@dave_backwell) reported from Backwell, England

    Appalling customer service thread to follow about @VirginMedia. 6 months ago my partner and I moved in together. We were both customers with @virginmedia but for obvious reasons decided we only needed one account in our new house ...

  • 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 😩

  • 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.

  • chloehester
    Chloe (@chloehester) reported from Bristol, England

    Why does @virginmedia online chat never work?! Its a nightmare trying to get through on the phone 😭 I just need to change my package ffs.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia Same as about a month ago. Said I need to enter password. But doesn't work. Have tried resetting password. Still no good. Webmail says can't access my emails right now. And when I go to the sign in page it has my name as 'Jackie' top right though the main page says 'Hi Tina'.

  • thisisryanc
    Ryan Carrington (@thisisryanc) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Constantly drops out, coupled with frequently slow speeds. Price increases for a worsening service.

    Shitsgigglesngloves (@Shitsgigglesng1) reported from Kingswood, England

    @Birdybabe07 @virginmedia Bt, great deals atm. Once back on openreach network you can move around with over 50 companies. Once on virgin you can only use virgin. bt will happily re instal to get you back on openreach network. Unless you need business fibre...then I can provide or advise👍.

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

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Yes. Have done this and spoken with your ‘fault management service’ who cut me off when I was explaining the problem.

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

    @virginmedia The only issue I have with that is that every time I contact that number, the following happens: 1) I explain the issue, again 2) they advise me to follow the steps as are online, again, that I've already done, even though I say I've done them 3) they ask me to monitor 1/2

  • chrisandobe
    Chris (@chrisandobe) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia hi I need help. I'm not able to call or text so I can't even call virgin media for help.

  • burdmiester
    Paul Burdon (@burdmiester) reported from Kingswood, England

    @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!

  • AcuharmonyUK
    Acuharmony-UK (@AcuharmonyUK) reported from Clevedon, England

    @virginmedia No reported issues. Tried the fixes before, and so did virgin chat. Not just my handset, other people are having the same problem. Am I going to have to change networks, is that what you're saying? Due to the change to O2?

  • 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. 😒😥

  • carolgladwin
    Carol Gladwin (@carolgladwin) reported from Nailsea, England

    @virginmedia Had real problems with the service web page.. took an age to load and then chucked me back a page! Our service is back now.

  • 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.

  • chrisandobe
    Chris (@chrisandobe) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia If it's better customer service then that would be better than having to be with O2

  • ShanahanMary
    Mary Shanahan (@ShanahanMary) reported from Bristol, England

    Not happy with @virginmedia paying £70 a month for tv/(which is awful) internet and landline - want to delete tv still (£61) - internet drops out all the time exit fees would be £240 anyone else find them extortionate for poor service?

  • craigcapes
    Craig Capel (@craigcapes) reported from Bristol, England

    The £ gleaned by both @virginmedia and @SkySports in making it difficult for fee/ subscription paying members to watch “each others” content must clearly outweigh the customer service calls and complaints 🤬

    @virginmedia broadband has just went down and its impossible to get speaking to someone on the phone. Live chat directed me to WhatsApp and still nothing

  • Peerabeee
    TB (@Peerabeee) reported

    @virginmedia I am paying for a service you cannot deliver. Multiple failed engineer visits (Dec 24, Jan 22) & internet is still broken. Now you demand an illegal cancellation fee? Formal complaint raised: C-010626172 (Yeliz Guven Bilgin). @Ofcom #VirginMedia #Ofcom #Broadband

  • stewiejohn2
    Danger Mouse 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@stewiejohn2) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia They should pay you automatic compensation thru the Ofcom scheme, it is about £6 a day. If they do not agree to pay it, then take them to an Ombudsman service.

  • superluvdub

    @virginmedia We pay way too much for a really bad service. Super frustrating . @virginmedia

    Chezza O (@LonelyLondoner) reported

    @virginmedia if I had a dollar for every time I lost network. The router just goes off? What is this? I mean what is the point of this? Run me my refund please

  • JonnieBoyRacer
    Jonnie (@JonnieBoyRacer) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia That can’t be right. Send a letter complaining the contract has been frustrated by the lack of service

  • fergal_hickey
    Fergal Hickey (@fergal_hickey) reported

    @VirginMediaIE Shocking Virgin Media Mobile. Can’t receive calls from Vodafone numbers for 6wks now. Now told it’s a widespread problem after being fobbed off for a month. Not good enough - VM should have been honest with subscribers and advised them but chose deceit instead

  • gozzand
    AJG (@gozzand) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia surely as theyre not actually providing you the service contracted you should be able to cancel without penalty?

    @virginmedia internet keeps going off in Amersham Please fix it
