  • paulwitneyphoto paulwitneyphoto (@paulwitneyphoto) reported from Ruddington, England

    @virginmedia Adding my wife's phone to the internet/tv package which should include 1, 5G phone, you need to get your customer service sorted out and people who speak English to a higher standard or better still have English speaker #dissatisfiedcustomer with @virginmedia

  • paulwitneyphoto paulwitneyphoto (@paulwitneyphoto) reported from Ruddington, England

    @virginmedia No, I don't want to do things by text, I want you to ring us, (an English speaking person not a call centre in Delhi) I am a paying dissatisfied customer!🤬

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

    @virginmedia What’s the point they seem unable to help and disconnected the call twice! Absolutely hopeless service

  • lizdixon77 Liz (@lizdixon77) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia Have done it both ways. It isn’t just the speed it is dropping out completely for long periods of time and the staff in your call centres are if no help unless you want to buy a new service and you do not get promised calls back.

  • activist84 gerisays (@activist84) reported from Beeston, England

    When you’re on the phone to @virginmedia to sort a broadband issue get placed on “hold” while the customer advisor “speaks to a colleague” to be informed the offices are now closed! Absolutely appalling customer service!!! And still haven’t sorted the issue 🙄🙄🙄🙄

  • NikkiPearman Nikki Pearman 💙 (@NikkiPearman) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia That’s my problem. I can’t get to speak to a person and your automated system doesn’t allow me to discuss the issue properly.

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

    @virginmedia 3 hours wasted on SMS service only to be told I need to call tech team! Service is beyond terrible

  • dergal Gerry White SEO geek (@dergal) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia helping out my 74 year old mother, when she resigned with you at Christmas, you also promised to send out a new V6 box, it never arrived, I chased this up and then you sent an older TiVo box. I spoke to the guy and he told me they're the same !?

  • breadf2man Fazal Rehman (@breadf2man) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia Nothing that springs to mine, but ive never known it to constantly drop off, some of the reasons the operators are giving me are silly and I told the lady it was rubbish.. im sorry but I am fed up of ringing every day and getting nowhere. I think i will have to move broadband

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

    @virginmedia Forget it. Totally useless all round. Absolutely the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. What’s the point having a social media team?!

  • paulwitneyphoto paulwitneyphoto (@paulwitneyphoto) reported from Ruddington, England

    @virginmedia You are clearly having a laugh at our expense. How do we complain about the service by @virginmedia @Ofcom

  • NikkiPearman Nikki Pearman 💙 (@NikkiPearman) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia I have an issue with my wifi signal being weak upstairs - until last 2 mths it was perfectly fine. However it’s impossible to speak with anyone - I don’t want the automated system or a broadband check as service is fine it’s just range. Unhappy customer

  • e2mrk_mark Mark Smith (@e2mrk_mark) reported from Sandiacre, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia so not only have virgin hiked my bill to £49.00... I’ve had no phone line for 12 months.. it cost me over £4.00 on my mobile to phone them. How does that work Virgin? Appalling service.

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

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

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

    @virginmedia I just never get anywhere, constantly going around in circles and no one seems capable or willing to help. The broadband kit provided isn’t fit for purpose considering how much I pay for it.

  • lizdixon77 Liz (@lizdixon77) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia constant problems with broadband over past few weeks, still not up to 500mb speed I should be. Calls to your call centre are pointless and no promised calls back received!

  • paulwitneyphoto paulwitneyphoto (@paulwitneyphoto) reported from Ruddington, England

    @virginmedia 1hr 50mins on the phone, mostly on hold, spoken to 4 people, 3 of which bairly spoke english and still no further forward, website not helpful either. Worst service I've ever experienced. @Ofcom

  • dergal Gerry White SEO geek (@dergal) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia I tried - I assume it doesn't work on a mobile!?

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

    @virginmedia The service I’m getting from Virgin is beyond appalling.

  • breadf2man Fazal Rehman (@breadf2man) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia The other issue your engineer was in yesterday surely he would have checked these things out ? Personally i dont think he was very experienced or didnt know how to do his job properly.

  • Project_HB_ Carly // Project HB (@Project_HB_) reported

    @virginmedia I hope your founder’s enjoying preparing for his next trip into space while a pregnant woman and a paralysed man sit here on earth scrimping to pay you for a piece of plastic in a box you can’t be bothered to help us work. Are we mugs or what? @MoneyTelegraph

  • alisonh_c Alison H-C (@alisonh_c) reported

    @virginmedia @Ofcom I have just rang the number suggested got through to an agent who couldn't see any notes on the account (what a surprise) when I told him it was a complaint and gave him the reference number I was cut off and not called back, here we go again nobody wants to know

  • alisonh_c Alison H-C (@alisonh_c) reported

    @virginmedia I dont call you as the wait is beyond long, only to get put through to a foreign call centre where they have a restricted ability to help and never any managers around. Give me a uk office number to call please and then it can be resolved hopefully but I wont hold my breath

  • stevegoodair Steve Goodair (@stevegoodair) reported

    @virginmedia including when you move to a property outside of the Virgin Media Network area does this mean if its in the same area there's not charge for moving to another property?

  • amrit_bk Amrit (@amrit_bk) reported

    @virginmedia There are no known issues listed online, but internet still isn't working. My postcode is SA20JD, can you please look into it?

  • samwbr sam (@samwbr) reported

    @virginmedia Oh look, it's all crashed again. Utterly useless service.

  • barlows_wonky_I Mark Stephens (@barlows_wonky_I) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, yes, there has been no web service at all since 5pm yesterday. Diagnostic on the 360 box shows that the server is down but your phone line says there are no problems at my address. All cables are secure, the router has been pin reset but it's made no difference.

  • Blue_1947 HeidiBerry (@Blue_1947) reported

    @virginmedia It says 'Need some help' but n o form to fill in

  • R1799498 Ren (@R1799498) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband not working from today morning. Post code HA9 Any known issue?

  • petedonovan50 Pete Donovan (@petedonovan50) reported

    @virginmedia He didn’t really say. I think it was a specific connection issue for us.
