  • DjOoooosch CK|Fitness (@DjOoooosch) reported from Braintree, England

    @virginmedia Please don’t conveniently close the live chat because you cut my phone and you’re having massive issues. The phone is my business phone and you are now liable for any missed work. Sort it out, shocking service.

    @virginmedia Amazing how you won’t sort out the problem with the account holder but you’ll speak to someone else about the account without the account holder’s permission!

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia I have continually tried to call, your wait times are really unacceptable, anyway I have also opted for the text service, however no text received. I am losing faith I’ve been waiting since August for some kind of contact from you. Any other options?

  • DjOoooosch CK|Fitness (@DjOoooosch) reported from Braintree, England

    @virginmedia How is it I can buy a new mobile phone from you yet I can’t speak to anyone about my current phone? Shocking and **** Customer care.

    @virginmedia the worst company for broadband @richardbranson and your name is attached to it. @Offcom please investigate the shambles off an outfit

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia I have checked and there are no faults. I am still having issues over a week later and this is totally unacceptable! Two children trying to take part of zoom lessons which they keep dipping in and out of as the connection just keeps dropping! Unable to get through to you on 150

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Ok so I need to arrange another visit I won’t be contacted? Can you see how bad this looks? Now I’ll be in London I need to arrange someone to be there to let an engineer in unless there is a smaller window

  • lizdeoli liz de oliveira (@lizdeoli) reported from Sudbury, England

    @virginmedia I have rung twice waited over 2 hours and still can’t sort out a request to cancel an account for someone who has learning difficulties and is escaping domestic violence. Disgraceful

    Any @virginmedia customers out there who’ve been landed a price increase - just ring them on 03454541111 and the automated service immediately offers you a £4.50 pm discount for 6 months = £27 of savings. Bit of a weird way of doing business but obvs hope many just suck it up. 👍

  • clairemorti Claire mortimer (@clairemorti) reported

    @virginmedia My partner owns a small business which heavily relies on connection he has had to refuse work as our network is unstable and you’ve really let us down. It’s cost thousands in lost work and additional costs

  • ninickrees Gowervannika (@ninickrees) reported

    @virginmedia Why is my 5G contract phone rarely achieving even a 3G signal of late. Genuine question - what am I paying for?

    @sarahjcreative @virginmedia I've already tried complaining to VM on the forum and to several customer customer support and technical support teams but they won't do anything. It's clearly a problem affecting a lot of people in a certain area, but they don't care

  • CHUME1BHOY Colin Hume (@CHUME1BHOY) reported

  • 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 🤔

  • sebbiechu Sebastian (@sebbiechu) reported

    How are we meant to work from home if your services are still down since yesterday. Not everyone has unlimited phone data 😒 @virginmedia

  • DanBassrunner RunaChallenge (@DanBassrunner) reported

  • Anita_Squires ⚫️🌚⚪️🟣🎗️Anita Squires (@Anita_Squires) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, that is the number that cut me off. I was annoyed but I stayed polite. I know the person on the phone is not to blame but it is frustrating to be passed to three different people and have to explain the situation 3 times with no solution.
