    Helen Pinkers (@Barchetta66) reported from Islington, England

    @Whiskey_Mick @virginmedia We’ve just had the same experience - waited 8 days. Not a word from them. Not a human spoken to. If I had another choice I’d drop them. 0/10 for customer service.

  • BeckyKellyNews
    Becky Kelly (Göllner) (@BeckyKellyNews) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia He has tried this and every time it just reverts to an automated bot response that doesn’t accept/understand /respond to his request to cancel. I need another way. As it’s proving impossible and stressful

  • angelrosie5
    Angela (@angelrosie5) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia still waiting for a manager to call me. Complete incompetence and lack of customer service by this company! Another customer lost!

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia I would not have used these terms as I didn’t know them however I presumed that all the necessary work would be done in the background. Why would I keep the landline with Virgin when I was VERY UNHAPPY with the service provided

    @virginmedia @NatGeoUK "We hope to fix this by 25 January at 16:00" But what's this? Do you really imagine a world where people don't have to work and can stand all your frequent service disruptions? #daylight_robbery

  • rtkosha
    radz (@rtkosha) reported from Stratford, England

    @virginmedia seems like it’s time to finish with Virgin Media. I had connection issues for the last one week every morning and evening, now finally my rooter is dead and I need a technician, the earliest slot was on Saturday!

    kevin richardson (@kevinri00714924) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia So someone fraudulently set up an account in my name. Because I don’t know the password to something I didn’t set up I’ve now spent 5 hours on the phone to 5 different @virginmedia reps and a debt recovery letter. Never use @virginmedia #badcustomerservice #stress

  • HRH_Duke_of_Url
    Dadaldo (@HRH_Duke_of_Url) reported

    Virgin Media are the worst. They strong armed me into a ****** deal to take out an O2 sim for £5 a month just to get affordable broadband. Now when my broadband's down, which happens weekly, I check their online service checker and it bounces me to a virgin02 sign in page.

  • Scrumpyjackfan
    Craig (@Scrumpyjackfan) reported

    After 25 years with @virginmedia it’s time to say 👋. Relocating your customer services to SE Asia a few years back was a stupid move, I have wasted hours waiting and talking to your reps. Even now I must do the leg work to find a better deal. You should be phoning me to keep me.

    @miked36 @virginmedia No problem at all 👍🏻

  • charles_forsyth
    Charles Forsyth (@charles_forsyth) reported

    @biggle1908 @SBarrettBar @zeninternet I have both Zen and Virgin Media (two fibres). Zen is symmetric but VM is not (here), despite Zen being half the price. Symmetry (or not) depends on the underlying infrastructure supplier. VM has been great over many years, fairly usual tech support; Zen has been excellent and the tech support is very techy. ("Symmetric" here means upload and download rate is the same; often upload is much slower.)

    @virginmedia I have not said there is a problem, so don't give me a stock answer, what do account managers do please?

    @littlemankay Hoping it can be gotten with virgin media too again (yes that's a real wifi network)

    Naughty_But_Nice_Angel (@WomanWithAWomb) reported

    @Rugster_CDS @DianneProc24557 @Starlink I now pay £40, going to to £56. I'm with Virgin Media. I can't afford to be fussy as I have a very bad credit score 😭

  • blugun

    @virginmedia down again, 2nd time in two days🙄🙄🙄

  • KalEl_WBS

    @virginmedia I’m tired of repeating myself, I’ve sent multiple DMs to you and you never reply.

    @DorzetRob @Artemisapphire Ditto here. We're between 3 towns. Sod all signal. Had to get 'wi-fi calling' on the mobile phones, to make mobile calls via the broadband. Smarty seems to work OK. Old copper land line now shut off by Virgin Media.
