  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I have been told that: “Our wait times are very high at the moment due to an unprecedented demand to speak to the team & we are experiencing some issues with our internal systems.” What if I call and am on hold and miss an update on WhatsApp? Or email…

  • Tiffers1973 Tiffers (@Tiffers1973) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia I'm trying to cancel but when that seems impossible

  • Justnick752 Nick-crack-a-way-Nick-crack-away (@Justnick752) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia My hub 4 has a flashing red light and states that No RF signal is found. What does this mean in English please? Keeps happening, no tv, broadband or phone.

  • Jakes_7 Jacko (@Jakes_7) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @LeedsViking @virginmedia Ignore it mate, like their customer services will your question.

  • mikekateley Mike-Kateley #RejoinEU (@mikekateley) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia isn't my money good enough for you? Been waiting for 2weeks for you get back in contact about why my house is the only 1 on the street who can't get the service. Phoned customer services who can't help. Not very good customer service.

  • ann_ellison Kerrie-Ann Ellison (@ann_ellison) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia not used my package for 4 weeks. You said you would send someone out to reconnect, which never happened, you keep passing me to different departments. you still have the cheek to send me a bill. Still waiting for the free return package to send your equipment back

  • Tiffers1973 Tiffers (@Tiffers1973) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    Spent most of the day being spoken to like crap by @virginmedia customer service staff who ask why I want to cancel 3 days post install date and no install you work it out!!!!! Losing the will to live here

  • CarsbergMazz Mazz Carsberg (@CarsbergMazz) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia I've got a bone to pick with you. We got a new box a while ago, and it's randomly wiping the recorded shows. Not one at a time, all at once. We've been in touch with customer services loads of times, but they all just took us through the same pointless (1)

  • SeanKeyes Sean (@SeanKeyes) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I was heavily sold a renewal based on an engineer installing+configuring everything as we are meant to have the fastest Wi-Fi possible.I installed it and no sign of an engineer,no follow up from Virgin. As per usual.Was also sold some ‘VIP service’ line that’s never been shared!

  • SeanKeyes Sean (@SeanKeyes) reported from Manchester, England

    Same old @virginhelp @virginmedia more important for them to send a driver to personally collect an old Virgin Hub than send the promised engineer to install the new one and optimise the Wi-Fi signal as had been sold to us. 🤷

  • ann_ellison Kerrie-Ann Ellison (@ann_ellison) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Chatting to your customer service team, she blaming me for disconnecting the chat but it’s you lot

  • Hendy14 Scott Henderson (@Hendy14) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Is there a problem with your phone system? My Mum has been trying to call for 24 hours on numerous occasions to change package but gets cut off every single time. Your mentions suggest this is happening to lots of others too. Can somebody arrange a callback please?

  • davideyres David Eyres (@davideyres) reported from Oldham, England

    More @virginmedia woes, ever since Feb I've been messed about, lied to and overcharged! Can't wait for next year so I can cancel and leave! #virginmedia #rubbish

  • ann_ellison Kerrie-Ann Ellison (@ann_ellison) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia 30 day cancellation is nearly up, just waiting on the returns packaging to arrive. But don’t see why I have to pay £150 for a service I’ve not been able to use for a month

  • Glynpeach Glyn Peach (@Glynpeach) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia worst customer support service I’ve ever experienced

  • AnianaAbrudan @AniAna98722504 (@AnianaAbrudan) reported from Urmston, England

    @Virgin media,every months problems with broadband,so hard to get in touch by phone and always they have work to do during day in the week time. So angry now 😤 😒

  • Tiffers1973 Tiffers (@Tiffers1973) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia I'm trying to cancel but even that seems impossible

  • ann_ellison Kerrie-Ann Ellison (@ann_ellison) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia It’s taken 4hrs to get your incompetent team to cancel the package properly. Now there is just the matter of the Overdue bill and the final bill.

  • ann_ellison Kerrie-Ann Ellison (@ann_ellison) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Turns out your team didn’t cancel my package, like I wanted. Absolutely 🤬 joke.

  • RHJOfficial яєαℓιѕт נανѕтαн 💻🖱 (@RHJOfficial) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia So why hang up? What was the purpose of the call?

    Virgin media yet again showing us why they’re the worst provider on planet earth

  • stroppe_o RvS (@stroppe_o) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been checking service status every day as WiFi is constantly going down and it always shows a broadband fault in the local area. Engineers have been booked but you keep cancelling them.

  • _RH94 Ryan Harris (@_RH94) reported

    @virginmedia why have you cancelled my Netflix subscription twice now when I’m paying for it as part of my ultimate package? I haven’t received an activation email in 5 weeks as a new customer either despite contacting you multiple times.

  • StephenSuthes Stephen (@StephenSuthes) reported

    @derek_christie @virginmedia Absolutely not. Even if I wanted what they were offering at that point, their pitch and sales tactics were so poor I'd have abstained out of spite.

  • ilimpwalk ilimpwalk (@ilimpwalk) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, Internet is still down in. Its been down since yesterday 10:00pm

  • mellypeters Melly P (@mellypeters) reported

    Shocked to find out that my terminally ill friend has been over paying on her broadband for 3 years! words directory from customer services mouth - not everyone is able to pick the phone up and negotiate better deals you need to look after your customers better @virginmedia

  • LeanintoDesign John Grimshaw (@LeanintoDesign) reported

    @virginmedia I'll stick with the Google nest mesh thanks we already had a couple because of the bad coverage it doesn't make sense to switch now. One system to rule them all and all that. 👍

  • edcrick Ed Crick (@edcrick) reported

    @virginmedia Please do. Why packing hard working English as second language speakers into a crowded noisy call centre using digital phone systems you put them and your customers in a terrible position where all lose out and stress is high. Not good.

  • yatin_suvagiya Yatin (@yatin_suvagiya) reported

    @virginmedia I have to pay bills but no internet service I can expect from the Virgin on top up them , I have to pay EDF ? Amazing surprise!!!!!!!!! Super customer care.......

  • AllyMunira Munira Ali (@AllyMunira) reported

    @virginmedia Are you providing any solution? There is no internet from virgin in our area. Customer care in call is not helpful at all. Engineer after 1 week🤯 when the problem is from your side
