    @virginmedia There is a blockage, that I know - I have had no service since November. I was told it would not be sorted before March 6th. I had been promised 3 call backs from different people in the Exec Department - none have followed up.

    @virginmedia I'm trying to cancel as I'm moving and asked for confirmation which was not provided , the duty manager refused to speak with me when I tried to escalate

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia so after weeks of unbelievably poor broadband and customer service there was an offer from you to resolve the situation with a web chat at 11am, with a link being provided here. No link. I’m lost for words

    Carol Dover (@CarolB29041964) reported from Stifford, England

    Just how **** are Virgin Media...my email was down for two evenings and probably the days as well earlier in the week, and now it's down again. Virgin Media i need to access my emails....this level of service is unacceptable. I'm paying for this crap service! @virginmedia

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve now been told that there is no complaints team, despite the fact I spoke to them earlier. How is it possible to be so poor?

  • WhiskyOneIce
    Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Be careful if you ever want to cancel a @virginmedia account, I wrote to them, twice as per their T&C because you can never get through on chat or phone, they deny receipt of letters because you cant send recorded delivery so they just keep sending bills and chasing payments

    @AmandaSeager @virginmedia Same in Central London, my Company uses Virgin and we have had issues all day long

    What is going on with the horrific intermittent WIFI connection in SM5 for the past week. Website says there is a problem BUT have to wait til Friday for an engineer. Abysmal performance @virginmedia

  • Andrew007Uk
    Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @PaulWelsh_UK @virginmedia There is no service. 26 November reported - 6th March earliest date for works. I was past to no less than 6 different teams before finally getting somewhere and then being cut off. Anyway welcome home my friend - hope you have more luck than me!

  • sinozza
    Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I spent over an hour on the phone yesterday trying to get through to a customer service rep only to get cut off. Still waiting to hear on WhatsApp and been on hold this afternoon 45 mins and still holding???? Whats going on??

    @Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

  • discobabe76
    DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia 9/ speak but he kept interrupting me. He had no help for me for having no internet for 6 days. He kept sighing and refused to put me through to anyone who could offer anymore help.

    @virginmedia Hah really @virginmedia been trying live chat since 8am and now call but on hold for ages!! Is not on. Causing issues with my work!! #worstbroadband

    @virginmedia Hi, I would like to cancel my recent broadband order. I found a better deal.

  • mizznansea
    Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    @virginmedia I've been having problems with my phoneline and it is currently dead, can't make or receive calls. An engineer came on Friday but its still not working. Charges have been appearing on my phone bill for calls I have not made. This has happened twice since November.

    I’ve had 3 hours sleep, I’m trying to catch up and within 10 mins I’ve had four calls from **** bags pretending to be from Virgin Media. The next **** to do this, I’ll be tracking your location and paying you a ******* visit! 😡

  • RobertSSmith66
    Robert Smith (@RobertSSmith66) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia any chance you can get your website to work? Change Package Chat does nothing! Links sent via mail do not work! Hyperlink sent by text doesn’t work! Call centre (working from home in India?) worse than useless! Ever heard of Customer Centric design? #Useless

  • KatiePurkiss
    Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

    @BorisJohnson @virginmedia @O2 Imagine being part of a club or a group where roaming could be free for every mobile phone network automatically across Europe We should join that club sometime.

  • feyipuk
    Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Phoned, and as expected; they can't just "put this right". The equipment and service are working fine. That the dish is broken and there is little slack to enable me to bury the cable deeper is due to local engineers. Will just have to dig trench, break cable and wait again!

    @virginmedia @evo5797 Being in the feedback department of virgin media customer services must take unimaginable levels of fortitude.

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia you might regret that virgin awful . keeps braking down. and they constantly ringing you.

  • anspailpin
    An Spailpín Fánach (@anspailpin) reported

    @38086fd7be4a4e2 So I understand. It'll be interesting to see if they keep that up for the tournament. BTW, do you know if ITV do the dog much with ads? Virgin Media are savage for ads just before rugby games, for instane, and at half time. RTE are bad too, but not as bad. How are ITV?

  • eightieschick72
    Charmaine Rome (@eightieschick72) reported

    @virginmedia Sorted out. But it would have been nice if your customer service had checked outages first before spending an hour taking me through things that clearly wouldn’t have worked because an engineer had chopped through a live “in the area” and the whole area was down!

  • j_henderson__
    JHenderson (@j_henderson__) reported

    @virginmedia since 9.15pm yesterday we’ve been without tv & internet, now they’ve just text saying 2pm tomorrow to be fixed. Nearly 2 days to fix an issue is disgraceful customer service. Again we’ll be looking to switch to Sky or BT. Virgin Media are useless.

  • fredbeare
    Davie G 🇬🇧 (@fredbeare) reported

    Why is such a pain to contact @virginmedia to become a new customer, and even when you do the sales team don’t listen. Will just stick with BT not because they’re good, just because Virgin don’t listen

  • gullyh
    graeme hayden (@gullyh) reported

    @griptmedia @Ben_Scallan Ben = common sense . Every single NGO should be shut down along with RTE and virgin media

  • EmbrayHotay
    Hibernian (@EmbrayHotay) reported

    Virgin Media shyte TV is a joke. You'd be convinced the issue was Elon Musk, and not the beheading.

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia All well and good until you get actual problems and need customer service (and you will).
