  • HumpsSnr Humps Snr (@HumpsSnr) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia What details do you require in any text I send?? Seems a bit odd considering you should already have my complaint and my details 🤔 we’ve established I don’t have a ref number, so further info will assist??

  • JiriKPinnock J K P (@JiriKPinnock) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Trying to get some help, on the phone over 30mins. My new bill was overcharged, pls fix it ASAP.

  • m_stephens8 macauley stephens (@m_stephens8) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia is the worst for speaking to an actually person🤯 adding packages unauthorised then making the bill nearly double.. jokers

  • Daveyb1974 David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    @nickleeland @virginmedia I asked to speak to someone that could help and got “my supervisor is on 14 day isolation”. Ok put him on the phone as I’m guessing he can work from home? Computer says no! Poor poor service!

  • guy140771 The Real Guy Gardner FBPE (@guy140771) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply. Your @virginmedia text bot clearly stated your aim for a human to ring me back within 4 hours - it’s now over 120 hours. May I suggest you update your message, also can you confirm I’ll receive the promised phone call or should I cancel my subscription?

  • HumpsSnr Humps Snr (@HumpsSnr) reported from Stockport, England

    Over 3 hours and counting on the phone to @virginmedia , spoken to 5 different people and put on hold for the 6th time now. Issue yet to be resolved 🤬🤬🤬 #vpoorcustomerservice #timeforachange

  • Daveyb1974 David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia This is the exact type of poor service I received when I called customer service. The package I am currently on is £89 for a new customer, but £129 for a loyal customer. The response back was “that’s all I can do”. Your response is almost as bad “don’t like it, raise a complaint”

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia It’s NOT an upgrade which I made clear on the phone. Again, no mention of this being the issue.

  • SarahCassidy Sarah Cassidy 🐝 (@SarahCassidy) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone else who gave their details to track and trace suddenly being spammed with fake email accounts, and bombarded with phone calls from fake VirginMedia/BT claiming broadband speeds are up and down?

  • HumpsSnr Humps Snr (@HumpsSnr) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for your response. I have submitted a complaint, although I’ve no response to that either. Our internet is shocking and we’ve got a temp fix outside which needs to be made permanent from 4 wks ago. Paying a lot for nothing currently

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    Hey @virginmedia On the phone to your customer service for 80 minutes in total now and counting. Been put on hold for 30 minutes of that. Losing will to live! Pound to a penny you lot cut me off in a minute......

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Bet you anything they won’t I’m sorry to say. Never known a change in contract to take a week. Normally done there and then on the phone. The lady didn’t mention anything about this being the case. What now? I’m not waiting a week I’m afraid.

  • HumpsSnr Humps Snr (@HumpsSnr) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia I don’t. When I submitted the complaint (2nd) I chose the telephone call option, using my home number. I haven’t received any call to date!!

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia ....before going to lunch. Your system is set to terminate unanswered calls after just over an hour. This is much more enraging than having to wait in a queue. We’re British, it’s what we do. We DO NOT HANG UP on people. It is beyond rude. #rude #virginmediasuck #stillnointernet

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Hi John. Still no resolution I’m afraid. It’s getting closer to next bill date. Which BTW I’ve received two bills for. One at £27.49 and the other £113.00 and a double bill request which is laughable! I still don’t get why the next gen box is influencing my request. Today please

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia No, I have one. The complaint referenced twice in this thread. One complaint....zero call backs!!!

  • Daveyb1974 David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    Great work from @virginmedia, your contract has expired, we want you to stay as a customer, we’ll give you the best deal out there! Give them a call, sorry can’t help, you’re on the best package, but we want to charge you £40 a month more than a new customer! #shitshow

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia The hold times aren’t the issue. I’d wait happily if I got an answer at the end. The issue is being hung up on after an hour then having a call answered only to have to listen to dead air for over 30 minutes while whoever is supposed to be helping has forgotten to logout ....1/2

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia we have been trying to arrange our virgin services to be moved to our new house since 23/11/20. We were supposed to get a call back from one of your guys yesterday to help with a self install - no joy. Since yesterday I’ve spent over 3 hours on hold, been.......1/4

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Another issue is if I were to get a phone call in a weeks time I cannot just stop the job I do to answer it. Where will we be then? Having worked for Virgin I know exactly what’s going to happen. This won’t get sorted until my new bill gets paid for services I don’t want ....

  • Gavwalton Gavin Walton (@Gavwalton) reported

    @virginmedia Will there be any point as last time tried that they said it was a problem in the area and then the next day said it was just mine …

  • tasha_f_b Natasha ☾ 🤎 (@tasha_f_b) reported

    @virginmedia Yea that’s what the service checker now says. But this has happened for the last 3 days now, I thought it was ‘fixed’ the first time but here we are 2 days later and now the third time it has gone off! I want compensation for this. Please advise

  • RichyLondon Richy London (@RichyLondon) reported

    @virginmedia Yes completely down - no dial tone. Checked for local fault - nothing listedc.

  • jamesesh James Eshelby (@jamesesh) reported

    @virginmedia had a wood pod for well over a month now, never has connected to the WiFi. The troubleshooting it says to follow doesn’t even help on how to get connected with it

  • lorrainemuir Lolly74 (@lorrainemuir) reported

    @virginmedia Still no service, neither does many of my neighbours. Do u know if any engineers are out today? I’ve had to take a days annual leave as I can’t work from home without internet!

  • quigs1888 LanaQuigs1888 (@quigs1888) reported

    @virginmedia terrible company! Billed me for early disconnection fees although I gave 30 days notice that I would not be renewing my contract. Spoke to numerous people who told me there would be no extra costs. No wonder Richard Brandon is a billionaire!

  • Gavwalton Gavin Walton (@Gavwalton) reported

    @virginmedia No probably telling me to re register to save you having to pay for continued loss of service …the fault has stayed the same from day 1 poor company poor communication

  • heskett_dawn Dawn Heskett (@heskett_dawn) reported

    @virginmedia @Rich905696811 Our internet is absolutely awful 3 hours just buffering last night and no alexia again this morning.

  • shitehead_ anxious millenial ******* (@shitehead_) reported

    @virginmedia Acknowledges that theres intermittent issues, but no fix time or date. It's a "really complex issue" apparently. I still don't understand why your website doesn't list a fault when the phone service does and a line test does.

  • MrKlawUK Mrklaw (@MrKlawUK) reported

    @virginmedia My broadband was down Sunday and down again today. Today I can’t even load your status page on my phone - just loading a blank page. Are there issues on your end?
