    @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

  • MrsDyer25

    @virginmedia So what can be done to improve the technical issues we are having? Could it be our equipment?

    @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?

    @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

    @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.

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

    @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!

    @virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

    @O2 Yeh you keep replying to people with this, & yet the link you sent either directs back to social media, or continues the issue of login problems... so... ?? @virginmedia @O2

  • jta1497
    Right Here Right Now.... (@jta1497) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia @richardbranson @bt_uk virgin your broadband service in waltham Abbey is disgraceful, even though we have complained you fail to resolve my problems, and are no delivering on your own contract terms. I want this resolved or released frommy contract @poppy_tompkinsx

  • dwmw2

    @treysis @noIPv6 @omnomis @virginmedia @tschaeferm @adam_as61 Nah, @AskCiti always used to be the only way to get competent customer service. At one point I almost took to using them first without even bothering to go through the proper channels first.

  • joniread68

    @virginmedia no way of contacting you over cancelling my contract, lines are down. How do we speak to you?

    @richstrickland @LDNPeter I usually connect to virgin media, but always have to sign in, and for some reason every time at Wanstead it says I'm not registered

  • 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

    It's annoying that @virginmedia customer service refused to acknowledge this other persons details had some how been linked to my email with my bank account on their account.

    @Stsantek @virginmedia That is absolutely disgusting. My mum is with virgin and I’ll be moving her in a few months when her contract is up. They’re customer service is absolutely ****

  • je_durrant
    James Durrant (@je_durrant) reported

    @virginmedia Im afraid I’ve have more confidence if 1. You got my name right, 2. If neighbours 3 doors down, also with you, had also lost service, and 3. As an O2 customer, I could get a half decent reception

  • MichelleBeckett
    Michelle Beckett (@MichelleBeckett) reported

    @virginmedia can you help with this to backdate the date of termination of my father’s broadband contract to the date of his death? As other similar service providers have done without having to be asked?

  • JohnnyHynes2

    @virginmedia Not working cheers mate go on off for no reason before the big game

  • WingsSherpa

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK No surprise Virgin Media was fined by OFCOM last week for its poor customer service, Michelle.

  • jemonthesofa
    Jem (@jemonthesofa) reported

    @virginmedia Huh, bet that's why we've had rubbish service lately, local toddlers walking past pulling em. It's a monstrosity!

  • 2124Jim
    james mcgarry (@2124Jim) reported

    @virginmedia Outages do occur and that's understandable, what is beyond ridiculous is your customer service team. To tell people there's no outage showing when near enough a whole town is down is insulting.

    Elle 🌸🗽 (@hellosunshine52) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine how hard all this is. For your info with regard to your issue - virgin media have just been fined £28m for preventing people ending their contracts. Perhaps talks to the culture internally that you are describing

    @virginmedia why can't you sync your transmission with the terrestrial or Sky service because my neighbour is ruining these games for me. He screams like a banshee on heat 40 seconds "before" we score. #NORENG

    @virginmedia I've given you the incident number. What's to look into apart from your appalling service. But I've DMd you so feel free to send me more platitudinous bullshit!
