  • MarkPBaines Mark Baines (@MarkPBaines) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia been with you for years and your prices are going up due to your service which frankly is rubbish all goes down so you lose a days pay working from home and you still want it paid for! You’re an absolute joke! Don’t worry though you’ve lost a customer!

  • Nicole_Baker Coley B (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia Ooo a response! Now I have a dilemma - do I have to complain about the length of time it took to even try to help me with my original complaint? I do sincerely hope I actually get somewhere this time. The time I have spent trying to resolve this is astronomical!

  • TerryBpne Crazy Corner (@TerryBpne) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @Sedds_lep @virginmedia Did you get help Dave? Tried 3 times and made an email complaint to @virginmedia - 28 days for a reply! Got a new V Box for second room, won't connect or verify. 3 hrs wasted on phone. What worked? I've given up...

  • GeorgiaOHarax Georgia O'Hara (@GeorgiaOHarax) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia I can’t do my job without them fixing something yet I’ve called everyday to be spoken to like **** and being put on hold for over 2 hours each time

  • Nicole_Baker Coley B (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia am I to take your complete and utter silence as the refusal to resolve the outstanding complaint?!? the utter disregard you continuously display towards your customers is disgraceful. You should be ashamed. @MartinSLewis

  • Mick_Rogers mick rogers (@Mick_Rogers) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia no online help, call centre not answering? Done everything it states on your website and automated call. WiFi signal still dropping out!!!!!! Give us a clue???

  • TerryBpne Crazy Corner (@TerryBpne) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia Don't really want to waste another hour of my life calling back yet again! Already wasted 2 hrs was given a 'direct" number which no-one answered. Call centre can't help or understand problem. What is the point? Do U get reimbursement for all the inconvenience @virginmedia ?

  • babybio18 Tracy Abraham 💙💙 (@babybio18) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for your help, after using the app we need a hub 3 as we have an outdated hub.

  • TerryBpne Crazy Corner (@TerryBpne) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @MintyPNE @virginmedia I ranted & got nowhere. My wife got an engineer round and job sorted (V box on 2nd room) They don't care about customer service.

  • GeorgiaOHarax Georgia O'Hara (@GeorgiaOHarax) reported from Wigan, England

    NEVER NEVER NEVER JOIN @virginmedia

  • srudd1992 Ruddy (@srudd1992) reported from Leyland, England

    @mrandmrsblandy @virginmedia I had the exact same issue last week, eventually put a complaint online and still nobody has been in touch from @virginmedia

  • cadeharry Nightsky Ceilings (@cadeharry) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia No the light stays white on previous tests the operator said there is a problem and we will send an engineer but then a new hub arrived.

  • Gilly2u2 Terry Gilroy (@Gilly2u2) reported from Formby, England

    @virginmedia was expecting callback, once again not happened! At end of contract, might have to go elsewhere! Only want to see if you can give me a great deal or @SkyHelpTeam may be getting a new customer!

  • ChrisRFW Chris Storey (@ChrisRFW) reported

    I was warned that @SkyUK were a nightmare when you got out of your tv and broadband welcome deal. Utter joke and dreadful customer service. Looks like I'm heading back to @virginmedia

  • markyw73 MarkyW73 (@markyw73) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, you’re correct! I think I’ll just leave my comments here for other’s to see how poor things have got, and no, I won’t be investing my time ringing you back. I’ll update this thread IF I ever do get a reply

  • PeterMcDaidWine Peter Mc Daid (@PeterMcDaidWine) reported

    @virginmedia no. I called in and got the automated update at the time. Signed up for text notifications. Got nothing. Told of long wait times. I'd really like to know if I'm going to be credited as last time there was an outage I was told there was a minimum outage req before compensation

  • domjallen Dominic Allen (@domjallen) reported

    @virginmedia The issue in my local area seems resolved. Our Internet is working again, but from online work I was unable to complete for that period I've lost £150 of income.

  • Happyhammer68 Mr R (@Happyhammer68) reported

    To anybody considering joining @virginmedia for broadband, a word of advice, DON’T!! Have had a network issue since I had it installed. All tests I’ve done say there is a network issue, and today a live chat says that it’s all fine!! Still getting intermittent broadband!! 😡😡

  • ItsSK1998 Stuart (@ItsSK1998) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah, same as usual, no known issues

  • swporton Stephen Porton (@swporton) reported

    @virginmedia It was a problem on Friday. I haven’t noticed any issues on Saturday, Sunday or today.

  • B4dCh1ck3n B4dCh1ck3n 🐥 (@B4dCh1ck3n) reported

    @virginmedia Obviously being a customer for 15 years means nothing. As long as VirginMedia save a few quid and make me wait. Nobody wants to be forced to work from home. But here we are in the middle of a pandemic being forced to do just that. But unable to work due to crap service.
