  • TheSimonC90 🏳️‍🌈🌟Simon🌟🏳️‍🌈, Esq. (@TheSimonC90) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @richstrickland @LDNPeter I usually connect to virgin media, but always have to sign in, and for some reason every time at Wanstead it says I'm not registered

  • SGuggiariPeel Sam Peel (@SGuggiariPeel) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia worst customer services I've ever dealt with. They make it hard to complain then lied to me twice deliberately and closed the complaint before it was resolved. Don't trust them!

  • Gemsy8382 Gemma Sargeant (@Gemsy8382) reported from London, England

    Unbelievable! My mums internet service is having problems. The call centre seem unable to deal with this. This has been going on for months. I'm still on hold. If it's not sorted today you're losing a customer @virginmedia

  • Amanda_Davey12 Amanda Davey (@Amanda_Davey12) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I find it insulting that you infer it is a problem my end! Once again, the level of customer care is dreadful, and no fixing of the actual problem that we pay a monthly premium for!

  • abivedder Abi ن (@abivedder) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia please help, my box won’t work, I can’t watch anything, been sat here for over an hour trying to fix it. So fed up with virgin internet.

  • bobby_harding_ Bobby Harding (@bobby_harding_) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Hi ALG, thanks for the reply, it’s greatly appreciated😊 After a long call with Yodel we’ve found out there was a system error resulting in them having to return to the depot & they will attempt to deliver today. Nevertheless, the problem has been the lack of communication to us.

  • Amanda_Davey12 Amanda Davey (@Amanda_Davey12) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia no TV for 24 hours, been on the phone for 50 minutes, guy has now disappeared, left me hanging on the line! The service is so bad!

  • Garrardinho Gary Lager (@Garrardinho) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Can you arrange for one of them to call me tomorrow to resolve as it's a very simple issue but not one I can sort out through your automated service and I don't appreciate being messed about because someone's near the end of their shift.

  • Amanda_Davey12 Amanda Davey (@Amanda_Davey12) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately the guy just put the phone down on me and that link is not working!

  • Amanda_Davey12 Amanda Davey (@Amanda_Davey12) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia it goes on, we have had no Internet for 3 months, that’s finally been fixed and now no TV, and I am still on the line, 58 minutes, not sure where the guy has gone, I’m not putting the phone down!

  • Gemsy8382 Gemma Sargeant (@Gemsy8382) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Hi, the internet doesn't work full stop. It stops but the white light still shows in the box. She needs an engineer please

  • hilarymillingt hilary (@hilarymillingt) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia it took my neighbour over 2 hours on phone but an engineer is coming today, taking 4 days for this is dreadful service

  • MarkNorth78 Mark North (@MarkNorth78) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia I have requested my full account information to be sent to me under the freedom of information act, so that I can raise a formal complaint, earlier today. Was told it will be emailed to me immediately... Still nothing in my inbox. I'll probably have to call a 5th time.

  • Amanda_Davey12 Amanda Davey (@Amanda_Davey12) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The link was broken, I have made a complaint online, you do have my phone number however, as our technology provider, someone should have called!

  • Gemsy8382 Gemma Sargeant (@Gemsy8382) reported from London, England

    @MoneyTelegraph another @virginmedia fiasco! 🤨 Been going on for over a year, just checks mums messages. Internet constantly going down!

  • bobby_harding_ Bobby Harding (@bobby_harding_) reported from London, England

    I have just received the most atrocious customer service from @virginmedia ! WiFi was supposed to be here two days ago because it was signed for at the wrong address & I’ve just been told by a supervisor that there’s nothing they could do, thanked me for my time. Then hung up!😡

  • buckers43 Andrew Buxton (@buckers43) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia I've been a customer with you for 21 years and your customer service is not great, I'm paying through the roof for my package, the wifi is crap sometimes, your team has offered to take my bill down £20, but when I mentioned about replacing my hub, that will cost £35

    @virginmedia It has nothing to do with black spots the whole internet has been down since yesterday nothing

  • HatsJohnny Johnny Two Hats (@HatsJohnny) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you. I'll try again in a few days. It's a terrible phone line as there are no options that are obvious for this kind of query. Such a shame you don't accept emails. Would be much easier for your customers. Happy new year.

  • tickadiboo74 Sarah Lou 🥀🏳️‍🌈⚖️🧐🦉💛💙🎼 (@tickadiboo74) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you. I will say services aside, customer care has never been an issue. Perhaps he was hungover. Either way I’m properly hacked off.

  • Rob_Hallmark Rob (@Rob_Hallmark) reported

    @frankieturner_ @virginmedia it happened to me with a virgin router. We couldn't work out the problem so switched devices off and found out it was white noise from a computer monitor

  • ClaireP1601 Claire (@ClaireP1601) reported

    @virginmedia Yes but that calling and waiting indefinitely to speak to someone thing is a problem when you’re just trying to help your ex partner sort this out. I sort everything out for the children, he pays the bill. If someone could call him that would be so helpful.

  • paulanjosh paulab (@paulanjosh) reported

    @virginmedia What a pile of cr*p service you are providing to us in NW4 4NP London area. Outages since 28-29th December and incredible packet loss on data for god knows how long. Myself and most of my neighbours are sick of the constant outages in our area. maybe a group action!
