    Claire Nugent (@clairevnugent) reported from Romford, England

    And on top of this I’ve been on a chat to complain about what happened and I’ve been made to wait over an hour for a wait time of “fifteen minutes”. This is a paid service! Never use virgin media for broadband, I’m fuming 😤

    Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia YOU USELESS #***** two years of problems, of no shows after no show, today was to be the day it was all sorted yet you manage to ***** up a simple install job. You confirmed to me what was to be installed yet the engineer wasn’t told! #fuckwits

  • bludogsix
    Ethan Truss (@bludogsix) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia We haven't had a stable connection since January and our internet drops out at least 20 times a day. Your customer service line is anything but useful, as no one seems to be able to figure out the issue that is causing this consistently inconsistent internet service.

    Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia @VirginVoyages Beware they Virgin operate and tell you one thing when you call customer services you may end up on on a 2 week cruise on the Woolwich ferry

    @JooMarsden @virginmedia I truly have never experienced anything like this before , there’s gonna be a launch here soon … this router out my bloody window and I couldn’t give a toss where it touches down @richardbranson it certainly won’t be a safe landing where’s our service we are paying for ?

  • MrGarySmith
    Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    Beware anyone thinking of joining @O2 they’ve just hiked up their rates and limited free data total usage when in Europe #ripoff also just merged with @virginmedia so expect the service to fall of a cliff when the call centres are rerouted to virgins Singapore call centres

    Claire Nugent (@clairevnugent) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Absoutley disgusting customer service today, was sent round the same bot telling me to do the same things for half an hour before getting to a chat where the helper decided to take their lunch break in the middle of it and expected me to wait!!

    @virginmedia your platform is useless it is constantly going down how are people supposed to run businesses with such white #virginmedia #garbage

  • MrGarySmith
    Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia No show yesterday over 2 hours lost time today trying to sort out the item which ironically are apart of an agreement with @virginmedia to resolve slow speeds and #badcustomerservice. Looks like you don’t ever listen back to your own training recorded conversations...

  • kec1964
    Kate Crisp (@kec1964) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia hi I have 2 WiFi boosters that I’ve never used and would like to return them but can’t face hanging on for hours to speak to someone on your helpline. Is there an address you can give me?

    @JooMarsden @virginmedia It appears it’s gotta be all our road .. surely others have reported an issue too hence it needs to be addressed rapidly lots of stressed and angry customers I’d imagine #notimpressed

    @virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

  • MrGarySmith
    Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia By all means better start reading up on the #badcusyomerservice I’ve had since 2020 about March? Virgin still hasn’t fulfilled it resolution agreement mad back in Nov 2020 and have had to chase and hound you with up to 7 calls as staff which should be able to, can’t get it right!
