  • MatthewWalne Matthew Walne MCSI (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia No, it’s very random. I was expecting an improvement when I upgraded speeds but it never did.

  • ollieg21296 Ollie (@ollieg21296) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @virginmedia That didn’t sort any of the issues out. I’d like an engineer to come out please and take a look

  • mufcsmk Stuart miller-kirkpatrick (@mufcsmk) reported from Hinckley, England

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp a message for Rachel barrass- What an absolute shambles of a team you lead, call centres in Delhi uninterested staff who are useless at helping the customer who has been stitched up by you again. My 5 year old could do better👍 #cancelled #joke

  • DJacko79 DJ (@DJacko79) reported from Leicestershire, England

  • mufcsmk Stuart miller-kirkpatrick (@mufcsmk) reported from Hinckley, England

    @virginmedia absolute disgrace, shocking customer service/experience. By bill still isn't sorted can't believe the clowns you pay a wage to #theft #fraud I also have a bill for you for my time wasted on this it's currently £650, it will be arriving at your offices Monday morning

  • Dog_in_a_hat Wayne™ (@Dog_in_a_hat) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had to call you in the past week 150 & you had to reset the router ... I shouldn’t need to do this! It’s your responsibility to ensure I have the service I pay (a lot) for!!!

  • Dog_in_a_hat Wayne™ (@Dog_in_a_hat) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @Doddstar79 @virginmedia Their service seems to be particularly bad in recent weeks...

  • timdnottingham Tim Dawson (@timdnottingham) reported from Leicestershire, England

  • MatthewWalne Matthew Walne MCSI (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia I can find the answer but can’t access my hub settings as won’t open, page not found. Can someone help please?

  • SmileyJMH Joanna Hayes (@SmileyJMH) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia just had call from 'Harry' in London, your technical department. Apparently I'm having issues with broadband speed... His employer ID was 194, apparently? He was shouty, in very loud place, couldn't tell me who I was. Please look into number 01323897224. Infuriating.

  • B17AL bilal manzoor (@B17AL) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on today, how do I contact the customer number 0345 454 1111 or 150 just rings out and then ends the call?

  • SmallPaulDJ smallpauldj (@SmallPaulDJ) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia I'm paying over 50 pounds just for 100mg broadband already! Why can a new customer get TV etc to for just 30? Conveniently the phone lines all seem off.

  • SteveRiches4 Safetypenfold (@SteveRiches4) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia Still not working, still no contact from #virginmedia. If still no contact tomorrow, will have to change supplier in time for Christmas. Can you help?

  • LiamDrumm Liam Drumm (@LiamDrumm) reported

    @virginmedia It wasn't short lasting it was a couple of hours and I paid for a whole event and undercard not just the main fight. Terrible customer service from @virginmedia yet again.

  • katy_morris Katy Morris (@katy_morris) reported

    @virginmedia Day 4: Still no internet more than 96 hours after the fault first occurred; still enjoying hearing about your commitments to “excellent customer service”; still loving the way the system cuts you off after being on hold for more than two hours

  • davidpolymath David Parker (@davidpolymath) reported

    @virginmedia do you currently have problems in GU21 as the internet is going down a lot for the last few hours, not just me but also others are reporting.

    @virginmedia So I was promised an engineer out today, I have just called to confirm and my account is now showing as ‘complete’ ... shocking customer services from @virginmedia

  • harri_bhafc Harri (@harri_bhafc) reported

    Never using @virginmedia for anything again. A new problem every bloody month, horrendously unreliable service and to top it off, my nan, without knowing, answered the landline to a scam number and racked up £50 in charges, to which Virgin simply said it was my nans fault...

  • zdlifestyle_ ZDLifestyle (@zdlifestyle_) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and that takes me back to square one - being on hold for over an hour only to be cut off. I will be making an official complaint

  • SophieS84497909 SophieShannon (@SophieS84497909) reported

    @virginmedia I’m now being passed to and from your ‘customer service’ number. How long does it take to effectively resolve an issue? @bt_uk what’s your connection like in Colchester?
