    Genius timing @virginmedia - webinar to deliver in 2 hours and now you go cold again. I’m not even surprised. Terrible company, utterly unreliable.

    Matthew Turner (@MTurnerNFL) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Hi there, the engineer came round but it hasn't fixed the issues. It's dropped 4 times now in the last hour, despite me doing a full reset. It's completely unusable. Please help!!

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

    @virginmedia You put the prices UP and your service we get goes DOWN. How much are you knocking OFF our bills, after all there’s compensation when your trains 15 or 30 min late.

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

    @virginmedia Hi again guys. Exactly the same experience. They can't help me because by the time I've waited on hold, and weve discussed the problem again (for the 20th time or so), the problem has resolved. It's still happening 4 times an evening and it needs fixing. Please help.

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

    @virginmedia That's a shame. Virgin SIM card was so much better and better customer service. I will probably change to a different phone network as soon as I can

  • amy_noony

    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

    @virginmedia After all the outages it's not stopped my WiFi pods working. How do u fix this? I've reset the hib and I've tried plugging the pods in close by to pair again and I get nothing

  • RosemaryJaneFo1

    @virginmedia #rude #badservice Had Virgin broadband installed just to discover a better deal on money supermarket. Contacted them to ask if they would honour it and was refused point blank, told not to complain, wouldn’t put me through to the boss and wouldn’t give her name.

  • TobyOsborne1
    Toby Osborne (@TobyOsborne1) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to a rude adviser who said they’d escalate it. However my pac code has already been swapped out and there was no urgency. I am now waiting in the hope that someone else doesn’t get control of my phone

  • Fingers247
    Mark Round (@Fingers247) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginhelp @virginmedia I need some way to resolve this, and can’t be the only one stuck in this situation. I can provide birth certificates, passports, etc, etc. Your support staff want 3 letters of a password nobody knows.

  • vinnievoke
    vinnie voke (@vinnievoke) reported from Bristol, England

    @Virgin @virginmedia @virginhelp well it's now been 21 hours since I was passed over to the help desk for picture break up on all channels on TiVo box and I'm still waiting this is shocking

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

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

  • coxtonycox
    Tony Cox (@coxtonycox) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia stop emailing and texting me every day threatening to fine me £100 for the non return of your equipment. On 23 August I booked for one of your engineers to collect it on 13 September. This poor customer service is one of the reasons I left Virgin after 10+ years.

  • 1Joshwa
    🚑🌈Josh 🇪🇺👨‍⚕️ (@1Joshwa) reported from Bristol, England

    So why is it impossible to speak to a real person at @virginmedia ? Live chat is down, phone leads to a system test then hangs up. I just want to speak to someone 😩 #virginmedia

  • martinparfrey
    Martin Parfrey (@martinparfrey) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia, your customer support is shocking. Any chance I could speak to a human being not a BOT? Even when I tried to complain, you cut me off!

  • 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?

    kaitan kohli (@KaitanKohli) reported

    @virginmedia VM! I need your help. Since the supposed digital switch over, my vulnerable, elderly parents landline hasn't worked. Over the last 2 days I've spent 3 hours on the phone to be told by your CS that the line is fine. I need a solution!

  • Martinayres65o1
    Martinayres65@outloo (@Martinayres65o1) reported

    @virginmedia My complaint has been ongoing and so far you have failed to address it. I have your handler my complaint ref no and he promised I would receive a call back from a manager at 3:00pm. As usual your managers fail to ring back.

  • Bigg_F_
    BigF (@Bigg_F_) reported

    @virginmedia Engineer replaced the Hub. Intermittent internet was still a problem after that but has been good for the past 4 hours. Fingers crossed.

  • djdylhen

    @virginmedia Can you advise on what's happening with services in B30 please?Broadband has gone down.

  • Boss24785
    Boss (@Boss24785) reported

    No way that the internet is STILL down, it has been over 13 ******* hours virgin media wtf

  • choc1982
    Claire Wilson (@choc1982) reported

    @virginmedia I am absolutely disgusted in the service I have been receiving over the last week. I have been with you 12 years and calls have been cut off. WhatsApp chats have been ended while trying to go over offers. Which may I say are shocking. You get nothing for being loyal.

  • Martinayres65o1
    Martinayres65@outloo (@Martinayres65o1) reported

    @virginmedia You’re already aware of the issues, I have an ongoing complaint regarding this. You already have my complaint reference as I gave it your caller today. Who promised someone would ring today. I just need virgin to promise they will restore my Wi-Fi ASAP

  • OwlyMcHoot
    Owly McHoot (@OwlyMcHoot) reported

    @mobily_uk @virginmedia Way back 30 years ago I worked for cable and wireless up at Seacroft; the retentions team called themselves The Dream Team; they got a bonus for each customer who threatened to cancel they converted to a retention-when you call, drive that deal down as they have a lot of scope.

  • yardley_canary
    David Whiteside (@yardley_canary) reported

    @virginmedia are in top 3 worst companies I've ever had the misfortune to deal with. They may even be top. Rude, expensive, evasive, and unreliable. What started as a simple investigation into switching for cost reasons has now made me resolute in my decision! Disgusting!

  • Merse2506
    John Mercer (@Merse2506) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I have been a VM customer for many years and have complained about my box s8nce you switched to a WiFi version. I get "buffering" and channel failed messages constantly. This happens and a low bandwidth message appears with tbe graphic even when the channel is still working.
