  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @KEESH1984 @virginmedia 8 days of that, we not heard fro you for a while youbstill need to speak to someone? OK let's start the whole thing again Chuffing useless, what they offer is not customer service its hope it fixes itself before anyone notices or leaves

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia can you advise the next time I will be able to receive your broadband for a period of 24 hours or more without it going down? #StayConnected #IfYouCan

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    Not a lover of call centres and thought that they didn't really offer any customer service of any real value, then you have the likes of @virginmedia and @Hermesparcels that seem to want to upset customers. That said, credit to @NespressoUK, was blown away with your service

  • Divadi29 Dianne Wilson (@Divadi29) reported from Billingham, England

    @virginmedia i was asked to upgrade as a valued customer, since upgrading my broadband is terrible we are all using 4g at home as connection is so poor. i have done all testing as directed from comp voice on phone and link sent to mobile. i pay for 3 virgin mobiles one now has no data

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia To investigate the problem with my broadband hub.

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia No errors, never is, yet everyday at least once my net goes off, normally for 10 minutes sometimes for up to 4 or 5 hours, cant remember last time I made it 24 hours with no down time

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    .@virginmedia 45 minutes on hold now listening to the horrible music!

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @AhDeluxe @virginmedia Was it the 10 minute off or the 4/5 hour cut? Never anything inbetween in my experience

  • PeteYourDoom Peter 🌲Santa Doom🌲🐈🎸🕹️ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    . @NOWTV @nowtvhelp any idea on how to stop the intermittent blue screen when playing back any on demand video or TV channels? Got an older now TV smart box. It's wired connection into a 300mbps virgin media hub so no issues.on playback speed.

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    .@virginmedia are amazing me at the levels of incompetence that they're able to reach. Been on hold today now for 1h 33m, 2hrs 7m (then they cut me off!) and currently 33mins! If you need any customer service from them then avoid them!!!

  • Divadi29 Dianne Wilson (@Divadi29) reported from Billingham, England

    @virginmedia Both, i currently have to work from home and my internet crashes all the time. i can’t get a signal in my bedroom which is the room directly above the box

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Yes I'm aware, they have just hung up on me again after an hour without even a real person, 6 times now and thats why I was asking for @richardbranson number, your sales guys don't seem to have any issues calling me though #JustSaying

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @NathHawkeswood @virginmedia Twitter cant help, phoning cant speak to anyone, text service in an endless loop, chat service online is also an endless loop I need to speak with line faults and they aren't even an option on the automated phone service so I'm really screwed

  • Formally_Gill Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia seriously, a price increase?! Only renewed my contract 2 months ago and for more than I've ever paid! Of course, no customer service available either. Ridiculous!

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    No company will ever be as inept as @virginmedia: - Phone lines: wait for hours, can't speak to anyone - Message service on app down for two weeks - Text service: messaged Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues; still no reply

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Let me ask, so you know how long the line is to speak to technical support? Have you tried using the text service and online chat? I have all at the same time and after 8 days I still hadn't spoke with anyone, you are unable to support your services

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    Today's @virginmedia phone queue times, and still not sorted my broadband issue: - 1hr 30m - 2hrs 7m (cut off) - 1hr 33m (cut off) - currently, 17m Inept, profit grabbing company. Some more customer service staff would be great!

  • PeteYourDoom Peter 🌲🐈🎸🕹️ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia hi, any help on a non responsive remote to vbox? It is flashing red when I press buttons bit nothing happening on box. Only started happening tonight

  • Poddddddd Jamie Gilbey (@Poddddddd) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England
