    @virginmedia I’m a media customer. Id really just appreciate it if someone from your downgrade/cost saving department could ring me. Can pm you my account number etc.

    @virginmedia How do I find out what the service address is that you are using as you seem you be saying that the billing address means nothing

  • CraigRyan1986
    Craig Ryan (@CraigRyan1986) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia I used to think using your broadband service was really good but to hear my mother in law has had no broadband for a month and it still isn’t sorted when they said it would be by 2pm today,I won’t be recommending you anymore #virginmedia #nobroadband #NeverAgain

  • JonnieJensen
    Jonnie Jensen (@JonnieJensen) reported from Maidstone, England

    @Rabia_Ali85 @virginmedia Nice comments on @virginmedia today. They could have helped themselves by doing something to inform customers what was happening but like you say, there are worse problems in the World. Peace out 💖💖

  • elise_john85
    Elise 💉💉💉💉 (@elise_john85) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia Can you tell me how to correct the address on my own! Apparently it’s been incorrect for the 4 years we’ve had your service!

  • chinwah33
    Braxton hix (@chinwah33) reported from Ashford, England

    Well laters #virginmedia I will be off to sky when the contracts up next month. Terrible service, no TV again today and yet you still call me everyday to get me to take out another contract.

  • mrjcgoodwin
    Jonathan Goodwin (@mrjcgoodwin) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia Just wondered if I’ve waited long enough yet for anyone @virginmedia to care enough to respond to me? Still no forum response. Still not complaint response. Still line issues. Just lies from your SM team.

  • mrjcgoodwin
    Jonathan Goodwin (@mrjcgoodwin) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia This is the exact problem. Your agents deny there is an issue in the area. A recent social media post revealed many people in our neighbourhood have the same issue. All your agents want to do is ‘send signals’ to our router and restart our router. Nobody taking issue seriously.

  • opshorton1
    Mark (Ops) Horton (@opshorton1) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia I don’t appreciate being put on hold for 40 minutes being charged for my call, then just cut off with no explanation! Your service over the past few months has been terrible, having to reboot WiFi every day to get internet & my bill has yet again gone up! 😡

  • JJhumpy
    Jo Humphrey (@JJhumpy) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia It's back now but would like a credit for the outage!

  • mrjcgoodwin
    Jonathan Goodwin (@mrjcgoodwin) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia so am missing the football again - about the third time now in about 6 weeks. Engineers have replaced all cables and router but refuse to accept it’s a network issue. How do I actually progress this or speak to someone who cares?

  • elise_john85
    Elise 💉💉💉💉 (@elise_john85) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia O2 have the correct information. The bills from Virgin have the wrong flat number on them. How do I know what you have for the service address? This isn’t clear on the website

  • mrjcgoodwin
    Jonathan Goodwin (@mrjcgoodwin) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia Would rather you fixed the problem.

  • TMFeeG
    THE FEE MG! 👩🏻 (@TMFeeG) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia You just turned up at my fathers door 6 months after you uninstalled your service following my mother’s death to collect your equipment which you took with you when it was uninstalled. Your rep (David Khan) was very rude to him.

  • ElaneSlade
    elane slade (@ElaneSlade) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia can anyone in the UK retentions department actually listen to a call and call a customer back? I've tried calling this morning to check progress after more than 2 weeks and the people answering the phone can't understand what I'm asking I've been hung up on 3 times

  • SeanM_ODP
    Sean McDonald (@SeanM_ODP) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia As a virgin customer, Uswitch says I have the right to quit if I inform you before the 15th Feb (after price hike). I have now just phoned and you have now said it was the tenth!? What is it please?

  • mrjcgoodwin
    Jonathan Goodwin (@mrjcgoodwin) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia No not aware of status line please advise. No interest in community support forum. This is an issue with your service and equipment. Needs proper support.

  • mrjcgoodwin
    Jonathan Goodwin (@mrjcgoodwin) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia Yes have posted in forums - no response, called, live chats, SMS. full works. Engineers even told us prob is not at our property as far back as Oct/Nov and neighbours have same issue but nothing is done, call centre staff are rude and treat you with contempt. Ref is C0912202465

    Elise (@elise_john85) reported from Maidstone, England

    I do love a Friday morning where my @virginmedia broadband is a crock of **** 😠 it’s not like I have work to get done

    @virginmedia Failed appointments and not understanding the problem and reporting to saying it has been resolved by claiming I had a different problem. Your complaints dept on it as we speak . We shall see.

  • rocky_115
    Chris Richards (@rocky_115) reported

    @virginmedia so any news on a broadband fix for SA1? Approaching 9 hours now of no internet or tv

  • ACraftyOne
    Crafty (@ACraftyOne) reported

    @virginmedia This is the problem I have 5-6 responses from your incompetent customer service team. I have requested a deadlock letter which they refuse to provide. Just to clarify that it is a scam. I paid for the service on my contract as shown, now you are charging me twice.
