    @virginmedia If you can sort out the compensation for the 2 weeks loss of service, that'd be great 👍

    @virginmedia A lady told me two weeks ago it would be sorted end of the week. I rang again a lady said she would contact manager and ring me back that day. Never happened, I will can take complaint to next level and then the independent complaints ombudsmen. Virgin complaints procedure poor

    @virginmedia Is it possible to speak to someone over the phone as at the moment I'm not confident with the move being a smooth one. I'm promised call backs which never happen etc

    @virginmedia Sorry, I don’t have understand how posting on a forum will get me in contact with someone who can help me. The customer service isn’t good enough.

    @Jake_BHughes @virginmedia apparently we have a blockage where they need to connect us, which is what we would need fixing by thursday. being that unreliable we decided to cancel everything with them fully. a shame because what they offered was great. customer service department is not easy to get round 😭

  • MYLA5TROLO
    Tiger Sue (@MYLA5TROLO) reported from Blaby, England

    @virginmedia No, never been asked before. And the advisor said ‘within 4 hours’, engineer turned up today, I’m not there! He said they don’t work Sunday anyway. Advisor needs some re training.

  • NimeshDave7
    Nimfresh.exe (@NimeshDave7) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia @vmbusiness why does my RTC internet connection disconnect every hour and connect 10 seconds later? It’s been happening for weeks, every hour it will go down for 10 seconds then reconnect??!?!? It’s problematic for my work!

  • ddrbowella
    David Richards (@ddrbowella) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia The service keep cutting out. And having to reboot 3/4 times a week. If no one comes and fix the fault. I will cancel everything and go to the ombudsman to claim back all the money paid for a fully working service.

    @virginmedia I'm not sure why, but our Internet and TV aren't currently working! No email to say work is being done. Online even says there's no issue which there clearly is. Area is LE2

    @virginmedia No. I’m done with text, on line and anything except talking to someone. You’ve had the opportunity using the bot, Twitter and online support, now we need to communicate in person. #realpeople

  • ACforReformUK
    AndyC (@ACforReformUK) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia This "quality" service is endemic in the UK these days, there's no accountability, if you got £50 for every aborted attempt, you can bet they'd get it done 1st time every time. OFCOM should punish these firms with huge fines and bring in accountability, otherwise this will just go on.

    @virginmedia I cannot be the only person that cannot log on via the app or online is there a problem ?

  • crm_uk
    C Morris (@crm_uk) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Yep 💯 percent. Worst is when the Indian call centre says password is wrong because they don't understand and you're having to break up your English for them 🙈

    @Benleo @virginmedia Virgin Active gym were the worst gym I've ever dealt with. Avoid!

    @Benleo @virginmedia They may be crap, but not as crap as @GBNEWS.

  • Rob_Green1

    @Benleo @virginmedia Been there. Had similar service. Absolutely atrocious.

  • CJD39
    Catriona **** (@CJD39) reported

    @virginmedia quite possibly the worst customer service EVER. I have been a loyal customer for years! Absolutely disgraceful

  • katesonly
    We need Restore Britain (@katesonly) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Avoid like the plague, if you move house before your contract is up & they don’t supply their service in your new area, they expect you to keep paying for receiving nothing, often 18 - 24 month contracts & they don’t make this clear. Sketchy service with sketchy coverage

    @Benleo @Christi61144576 @virginmedia What a shame you had such a bad experience. I’ve always had excellent service from them. And that’s from whenever they brought cable to my street 15 - 20 years ago.

    @Benleo @CallmeRight1 @virginmedia I had heard they have a dreadful reputation for customer service or lack of it…..
