    @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 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

  • 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!

    @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.

    @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 @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

  • 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

    @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

    Looks like #VirginMedia is on the verge of falling over again. Had connection issues over the last half hour including Twitter not loading, *** pushes failing and Zoom being slow to connect. But weirdly I can still run a solid speed test.

    Sadly, the @horror_channel catchup service isn’t on @virginmedia , which is a total bummer.

    @virginmedia Yes and I am doing it again now. No network issue has been found

  • joniread68
    Jon Read (@joniread68) reported from Great Baddow, England

    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. 👍

    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.

    @virginmedia Well after 30 years that's me left VM. I would advise anyone to check their contracts to make sure you are not getting charged for a package you never signed up for(Like me) Forget complaining and watch out for the trick of you having to apply for a returns package

    @Ofcom @virginmedia Update: Form formally submitted to @Ofcom. They have been briefed about your contract breaches and failure to resolve complaint ref C-010626172 regarding internet faults and unfair termination fees. I will escalate to CISAS/Ombudsman next. Resolve this now!

    Rich Brady (@RichTigheBrady) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, it has happened yet again today. Not working at all. Rebooted several times. As usual App says no problems in the area. Happens every 4-6 weeks. Then we call virgin and wait 5-8 days for an engineer!Then it comes back on b4 engineer turns up.!

  • cleggy1966

    @virginmedia And another day goes by without any internet. Try to book an engineer appointment online and get ‘internal error’ What disgraceful service.

  • Bingerz123
    Bingerz (@Bingerz123) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Go on the open reach network my man. Essentially all providers use it except virgin meaning the competition is high for retaining customers. Usually aim for a 24 hour service visit from an open reach engineer. Virgin are the worst BB provider, period.

  • MelinaKakoulid7
    Melina Kakoulidis (@MelinaKakoulid7) reported

    I am wondering on what is wrong with customer services advisers at @virginmedia Why would they ask me for my monthly price & when I tell them £27 I then get asked for my email address which I gave and then immediately after my email address confirmation they again ask my price
