    2. @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk no idea how to get into the account and claim it!! Can't seem to find my own account under either of my usual emails. Obvs I would like the credit as cash as I no longer hold a virgin media account so hoping customer service can help me locate it

  • andeenic
    Andy Nicoll (@andeenic) reported from Margate, England

    Three formal complaints to @virginmedia and three promises of a returned call within 24 hours. 3 fails out of 3. At least your appalling service is consistent

    @virginmedia The service status page hasn’t updated since 1pm. Everyone in the area has the internet down and yet I’m being told right now on the phone there is no problem. I had an engineer booked tomorrow and VM cancelled that and now can’t send one until Monday? Awful service.

    @Jess_Guth @virginmedia @virginmedia are the pits!!! Dreadful customer service and they’ve tried to charge us for a phone service we terminated 3 months ago!!! 👎🏻🤬

    1st day with @virginmedia & **** all is working. Waited all day for an “engineer” to come & make an abysmal attempt at installation before telling me everything was working & then ******* off rather sharpish. Spent the rest of evening on phone trying to sort. Appalling service

  • jimmygreen83
    James Green (@jimmygreen83) reported from Margate, England

    @virginmedia... broadband has been down all day and expected back at 5:25pm, still not working. Now, recheck the app and not expected back until 8am tomorrow! Seriously?! Why? What has happened? How can it be down for that long? Ridiculous, especially when people work from home.

    @virginmedia What a joke. My partner, a loyal customer for 16yrs. He left due to very poor service. Now suddenly without notice you have blocked his email address. Very important emails that he can't retrieve. warning him would have been helpful he could have got his contacts

    @virginmedia your customer service is very disappointing. Have nothing but problems but never get any help from you.

    Sheradon Dublin (@sheradondublin) reported from Margate, England

    Morning @virginmedia, I’m starting to become a little fed up with your current business model. You take my money, but supply a less than reliable WiFi service. Will it take a cancelled direct debit to get your attention? Please fix. 😡

  • als_adventures
    Al's Adventures (@als_adventures) reported from Chestfield, England

    @virginmedia He has a letter as a review. So we need to speak to someone to cancel it. He’s being charged each month according to this letter. Goodness knows how long for.

    Hello @virginmedia, is there a way I can talk to someone about my WiFi problem this morning.

    Heaven And Hell (@heavenndhell666) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia please can you advise me of your complaints number or email please do not tell me to call on 03454541111 as this number is a waste of time and effort but I would like to make a formal complaint with the view of terminating my contract due to your incompetent service

  • SamRSparrow
    Sam Sparrow (@SamRSparrow) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia service down in CT10 area, loads of people reporting this on social media etc but service status says it is fine. Can you please look into this ASAP?!

  • SamRSparrow
    Sam Sparrow 🇪🇺 (@SamRSparrow) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia I am extremely unhappy broadband been down since 1.15pm. Booked an engineer. This has been cancelled with no explanation. Can’t book another. Service status says it’s fine but many others online in CT10 says there is an area issue. First person on phone hung up.

    @virginmedia Do you actually have a customer service department

  • SamRSparrow
    Sam Sparrow (@SamRSparrow) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia I would suggest then that the service status should be updated to reflect that situation.

    Cary Wright (@CaryAWright) reported from Margate, England

    @virginmedia @Dan13lBurk3 I spoke to tour customer service team who “guaranteed this fault would rectified by 21:25”. I explained the gravity as I needed to finish work for Xmas. They lied!!

    @virginmedia when are you going to fix our broadband. We have been without broadband for 6 days now. My partner offers online psychotherapy support for people with blood cancers and has had to cancel appointments because of this.

    Had 3 @virginmedia engineers round in the last 7 days (for the most part good people no blame) but my broadband is still broken. The Mythical network team will get to me when they get to me … I’ll be off then to a new provider who gives a ****.

    Flip Flop (@flop_flip60295) reported

    @virginmedia getting 100mb a second on your gigabyte package and was told there was issues. Was escalated to the complaints team who advised nothing is wrong! Shocking customer service even when it was acknowledged its nowhere near what im paying for

  • rabtaylor1981
    Robert Taylor (@rabtaylor1981) reported

    @virginmedia any idea why it has to be so difficult to actually speak to anyone? Both TV boxes no longer work right, received an email saying a new box was coming but only got a remote for a box I don't even have! Can anyone help??

  • Bigg_F_
    BigF (@Bigg_F_) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. Eventually got through via chat to a real person. They advised a factory reset of hub which is a complete pain to set back up and it made no difference. Engineer arranged to come today. I also raised a formal complaint. Mysteriously it’s working two hours later.

    @virginmedia I'm trying so hard to log in and see what TV and broadband package deals you can offer me but I'm in a cycle of linking to my o2 account and then a transfer link coming through and doing nothing! How can I fix this?
