    @virginmedia 1.I have a huge problem, I have received my installation pack today, after a long wait. I have ordered the big bundle with the finer internet. The installation pack didn’t include a router. I called your customer service, after talking to some other departments I hav

    @virginmedia 5. Not only I am upset and surprised of the problem, I also feel abused by your representative in the call center.

  • mgrazia_baf sbruffoncella #antifa🇮🇹🇪🇺🇬🇧🌋 (@mgrazia_baf) reported from London, England

    In a world that runs on the net if you are a @virginmedia customer you have to wait 4 days for an engineer to fix a modem, installed only in November 2018. IT’S NOT A JOKE!!! Thank you for letting me loose a day of work and 3 days worth of studying. #virginbroadband

  • AngusTeee Angus Teee (@AngusTeee) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia No - you don’t seem to think anything’s wrong. But there is - our neighbours also have no service. So there’s definitely a problem.

  • TheLostArsenal Reo (@TheLostArsenal) reported from Tottenham, England

    Time to get rid of @virginmedia Premium service with shitty internet. Never had a stable internet connection with them

  • scottyboy1973 Scott Brindley (@scottyboy1973) reported from Stratford, England

    @BBCWatchdog Can you look into @virginmedia appalling service and dreadful customer service. This is my 7th day with out internet and all I get is fobbed off. Not acceptable service. #virginmedia #fixmybroadband #poorcustomerservice

  • majrav Majid Ravandi (@majrav) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia without doubt the most DISGRACEFUL service EVER. You constantly attempt to take advantage of elderly vulnerable adults. We have been trying for weeks to talk to u & have me put on as authority to talk, & you won’t help, but you continue to send threatening letters.

  • AngusTeee Angus Teee (@AngusTeee) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia @curu We appreciate your sympathy but we need action. And I’m gonna need therapy if I have to keep listening to the same three awful songs on a loop on your 0345 number - I’ve been on hold for over 40 minutes now ... 😐

  • elifnur Elif Nur Karlidag (@elifnur) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia 2. been directed to the installation department, the lady on the phone was extremely (extremely!!) rude and uncooperative, she said I have to call another day, customer support and she doesn’t have access to anything; she raised her voice to me, I wanted to make a

  • Nikhil_Saglani Nikhil Saglani (@Nikhil_Saglani) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Be nice to get an answer on the phone as to why I’ve been charged £60 for leaving despite you guys not being able to service our new house - and telling us we’d face no leaving fee. Sat on hold three times for 30+ minutes. Great service!

  • AngusTeee Angus Teee (@AngusTeee) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia @curu You don’t need to take my details. You just need to be able to communicate clearly what is going on. I finally spoke to someone who said there’d been ‘a breakdown in the digital network in the area’ - whatever that means - and gave a 2am estimated time of resolution. 🤞

  • scottyboy1973 Scott Brindley (@scottyboy1973) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia Day 7 without internet! Just has the following from you which is simply false:- Virgin Media Outage Update - ID: F007272603 We're pleased to tell you this issue is now fixed. Best wishes, the Virgin Media Team

  • tonypaulway Tony Way - Bloke off the telly (+Films) (@tonypaulway) reported from Hackney, England

    @profanityswan I mean, his pinned Tweet is a public complaint to Virgin Media customer service from 2016. So that’s what your dealing with.

  • DWarwick19 D Warwick (@DWarwick19) reported from Enfield Lock, England

  • shhduff chantelle (@shhduff) reported

    @mikeym366 @virginmedia Never been spoken to like that before. Especially for no reason. My internet I can’t complain about too much at all. It’s mostly fine. I’m far from the technophobe he thought I clearly was simply for being female. Disgusting service.

  • Sheedyss Steve (@Sheedyss) reported

    @virginmedia called to cancel and Virgin Media made a mess of it. Called on 22/01 to cancel on 28/02. Plenty of notice. Was told because I called on 22/01, that my service would end on 22/02!?! That’s not what I asked for! As I work from home my service better not stop on 22/02!

  • shhduff chantelle (@shhduff) reported

    @mikeym366 @virginmedia Always the case init! Soon as your money is gone they want to offer the support. This guy didn’t let me speak. Spoke over me the whole time and said if you want your internet to work pay 5 quid a month for a booster.

  • EmSatch EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

  • laurat14818467 laurat (@laurat14818467) reported

    @virginmedia What for 3 days straight being ignored?? On the chat page none gets back, on the phone I either get cut off or long queues!! All I want to do is cancel my contract but this is IMPOSSIBLE

  • SheBiggs SheelB (@SheBiggs) reported

    Terrible service from @virginmedia @VirginMediaIE. No TV channels 2 evenings running. No explanation when phoned, just fobbed off. Not much service for a large monthly fee.

  • EmSatch EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported

    @virginmedia All it takes is for a little genuine compassion. For someone to actually listen to the customer and not simply read from a script. I've worked in call centres myself so understand the pressure on agents to close calls quickly so it's an issue that goes higher up. 5/5

  • McmullanFoley Lisa Foley (@McmullanFoley) reported

    @virginmedia Also I can't raise a complaint since we cancelled our account. not one customer service rep has suggested it either. I assumed raising the complaint with them wld be sufficient. But seems they can't even write down the nature of our query.

  • EmSatch EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported

    @virginmedia in the customer journey for someone to have been brought to tears by the stress. He offered a good will gesture and found a work-around solution to the problem. We were then called back by an adviser who took us through everything and stayed on the line until the email was 3/
