Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England@virginmedia I’ve run test after test, at least 5-6 outages a month for last 2 years. Horrendous service and this is the final straw unless you offer me a refund of say £20 a month for last two years, if not I’m going BT and a dodgy box from Mad Frank in pub
-
Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported from Sheffield, England@StueyDay @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk The service is awful and customers find it too hard to get a prompt response. Last time this happened it took at least 8-10 emails before they got past the automated letter asking me to switch off, reboot and check all the connections.
-
Sam Walker (@SamWalker03) reported from Dewsbury, England@virginmedia I’ve been hung up on three times this morning by your contact centre! All your willing to do is pass on the “feedback” do you have anyone customer service trained I can speak to ?
-
Prof Maddy Arden (@maddyarden) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia our broadband down without warning and service update says you hope to fix this by 5th April! Why so long? We rely on this for work - unacceptable

-

No one mentioned this previously I have been told it was a new promotional that was added, so again alot of tosh. Does anyone know what they are doing at virgin.

Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported from Dewsbury, England@virginmedia That is really poor. It should be for Virgin to sort not the public. I spent an hour on the phone on Thursday speaking to a next to useless overseas call centre.
-
Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported from Wakefield, England@virginmedia I have tried the status but its saying the service is fine. Yet all the people on out estate are complaining they cannot get onto Virgin internet. We cannot book an engineer as isolating. Why is it constantly broken or speeds so slow?
-

Catherine McCullagh (@chellingsen) reported@virginmedia It just seems to be this show it has an issue with. I've set it to record the series and a lot of the time the recordings fail, or if I watch it live it goes off, one time the Ads were in the wrong place. I've not seen it happen with any other show or channel
-
COVENANT ENFORCER ENGLAND (@SniperRais) reported@Benleo @virginmedia yes they are not good at customer service .... they only have process for what the business doeballs call the happy path. I had to suffer these morons until I could retire , they were coming through the Grad systems and qualifications were replacing wisdom and experience.
-
