  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Hi guys. just got off the phone with someone in your Swansea call centre, can you tell me their name? As they called to call back tomorrow and ask for them & they’d help my query.

  • jnlangton joseph langton (@jnlangton) reported from Braunstone, England

    @virginmedia the advisors do not listen to what their customer are asking the result is frustration for the customer

  • chrismyers66 Chris Myers (@chrismyers66) reported from Coalville, England

  • tsbooth Mr Booth (@tsbooth) reported from Hinckley, England

  • total_jk JK Total Business Solutions (@total_jk) reported

    @vmbusiness Your new text messaging service for faults is useless. All service lost yesterday PM so called and chose the messaging service. Other than the initial acknowledgement and that someone would be in touch 'soon' not a thing from it. Had to call again this morning.

  • n_rh1992 Nathan (@n_rh1992) reported

    @Geobadger1 @virginmedia I would if it wasn’t chucking it down. As long as it’s back in time for your PWG, all is fine :)

  • nataliegosden Nat Gosden (@nataliegosden) reported

    @virginmedia @YodelOnline WHY do I have to repeat my query to every person I speak to!? 4 people I spoke to yesterday & not 1 had passed on my issue to the next. 1 even told me the package I had signed up to didn't exist... she was WRONG!!! Love wasting my precious time on the phone to crap @virginmedia

  • Black_King_Rass Fu*k You Pay Me (@Black_King_Rass) reported

    Honestly speaking to the @virginmedia customer service team is actually painful😔😣. Such poor service

  • bebe3ngel Pam (@bebe3ngel) reported

    @virginmedia And what are we supposed to do with the notice you have given? Switch to sky or BT for the day? So the people that have been affected and are in isolation and working from home have lost their day’s income because of this. It’s an outage for the entire day, not a few hours!

  • phillipprothery phillipprothery (@phillipprothery) reported

    @virginmedia Shocking service from Virgin mobile New phone ordered, in transit, returned to sender, no reason given, on mobile chat for 2 hours, still clueless as to what's going on 😡😡😡

  • chloeclayton7 chloe clayton🦋 (@chloeclayton7) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah the estimated fix time isn’t until 6pm

  • i_am_catriona 🐱 (@i_am_catriona) reported

    @virginmedia My broadband has been completely unusable for the past 24 hours - I’m trying to watch a conference and can’t watch more than 5 minutes of video without the page crashing. I had the same problem with iPlayer on my TV last night.

  • shelby_mustang cheryl hope (@shelby_mustang) reported

    @virginmedia The link you provided just takes me to my account and after a lot of going around in circles, I cannot find ANYWHERE to book an engineer. Please advise how I can do this. If this issue is not fixed, I will contact CISAS. The service is appalling

  • nataliegosden Nat Gosden (@nataliegosden) reported

    @virginmedia Engineer never turned up and then told when I chased that one was never going to come..yet my appt was confirmed! Now wasting more time chasing up my @YodelOnline tracking number as never received a message and number from @virginmedia not working. Another day being wasted.
