    @virginmedia somehow you have reset my Dadโ€™s Virgin media box, LAN seems to be off and the wifi on it is back on. This is rubbish because we have network setup there with much better hardware than your box. Now none of it works and I am hundreds of miles from his house. Why?

    Listening to the broadband presentation on @itvMLshow with some irony. I pay @virginmedia ยฃ79/month for broadband/phone & TV. BB/TV failed in November, after many calls they say it will be fixed in March 2023 ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Compensation is only calculated when service is restored ๐Ÿ˜ช Fair?

    @MayorofLondon Shame they provide the most terrible customer service and treat you like they've got you by the short and curlies! Pay ยฃ400 a year for a service, custome service agents are like robots and stuff you for days when it doesn't work with no alternative offered! @virginmedia

    @virginmedia My phone is now over two weeks late, which isnโ€™t an issue, I understand waiting for one to become available to send but to suggest I send this phone back and go without a phone until one eventually gets sent to me is just ridiculous. Iโ€™m not gonna pay my bills with no phoneโ€ฆ

    @virginmedia I contacted customer services for an update on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I was informed by your Twitter account I wouldnโ€™t need to send my current phone back until I receive my new one. I was then informed by the gentleman on the phone my new phone wonโ€™t be sent until I send this

    @virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. โ€œComputer says noโ€. If you canโ€™t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. Iโ€™m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

    @virginmedia We have broadband but no WiFi. Rang customer services on Thursday lunchtime to be told that although nothing shows up in the service checker it' known fault and should be back today, now it's almost two days without WiFi, just want update from someone who knows what's happening

    Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Of course. Iโ€™ve done everything required of me: I was told itโ€™s caused by my home move and the disconnection due on 12th. Things seem to have been prematurely actioned affecting my signal

    @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africaโ€ฆ Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

    @virginmedia Itโ€™s everything downstream of the LAN ports, so wifi on the box is on and working but all his wired network is offline. I have asked him to check all the cabling to make sure itโ€™s all connected.

    @virginmedia my internet broadband and tv are not working! This isnโ€™t the first time this has happened to me! Really annoyed and need to use internet everyday. I do have mobile data on my phone but that will most likely max out. Please help! #notfair #BadService #IsSkyBetter?

  • AlloquiStrix
    Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported

    If it took me over a week to fix a network problem (it will actually be 10 days when @virginmedia get around to fixing our problem) I would have been fired. And you can't seem to register for compensation, even if you follow @virginmedia's own help system

  • felixeemopener
    simon bennett (@felixeemopener) reported

    @virginmedia This is the same service I use every Saturday and bank holiday that tells me thereโ€™s an intermittent signal in my area. Rather than send me links like this, how about fixing the issue?

    Mandy H ๐Ÿ’™ (@ShropshireMandy) reported

    @virginmedia why is your customer relations so bad? I have spent 3-4 hours on the phone trying to get a refund after you carried on taking payments after I terminated my contract. Please get it sorted.

    @virginmedia Youโ€™ve left a vulnerable customer isolated despite a written promise of service until May 2nd. Your staff ADMITTED the error at 13:45 today but a manager just hung up on me. Absolute disgrace. Turn my lifeline service back on now. #VirginMedia #Ofcom

    Well, the customer service from @virginmedia these days is really quite remarkable. And that's not a compliment. Here's a thread... Informed them that I'm moving house, and they get it booked for Friday 3rd April. All good...
