    @virginmedia Thank you - when I run the TV check it says there is an issue. Guess we just need to sit it out. Sadly we appear to be the only ones in the area with an issue (have asked around)

    @CloopR @virginmedia Also had a huge issue with Together Energy who owed me £500 and wouldn’t pay it. Eventually contacted finance lady at Daily Mail who contacted them and I got my money. Will dig her details out if I can. She was very helpful.

    @virginmedia No known issues according to the tests but when I call your support they always say otherwise. I clearly have issues.

    @virginmedia Great! In the middle of a worldwide pandemic and the service is down since this morning in Didcot. With so many people working from home and you let everyone down. I am waiting to finish my contract with you and bye-bye. You won’t see me ever again !!!

  • inmilla68
    Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Milton, England

    @virginmedia I have already written to you twice in here and you just don’t bother to answer. Impossible to communicate with Virgin by any means. No customer services whatsoever!

    @virginmedia *sigh*. Been directed to this many times. Had engineers referred many times. This is a persistent issue that raises its ugly head far too frequently

    Another day of bad experience with @virginmedia broadband service in RG6 area. Buffering on streaming service, no video calls possible on Skype and WhatsApp. Seriously thinking of switching to @bt_uk

    @virginmedia You LITERALLY cannot be serious right now? Is this how you believe my issue will be solved? And yes, in the last 19 days I have rebooted twice.

    @virginmedia You apologize??? Really??? In the middle of a pandemic , I am a key worker and had to work from home today band I have missed all the meetings. I wish I could cancel my contract and had nothing to do with Virgin ever again!

    The worst part of Lockdown wasn't the loneliness, the boredom or the agitation. It was seeing ******* Birdseye, McCain's and Virgin Media shoving happy family lockdown vibes down your throat to advertise themselves.

    @LaurakBuzz @virginmedia They can slow down your service in busy times. Dodgy. It’s in the contract though

    Bob Beveridge (@BobBeveridge1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia When your expensive fibre broadband crashes in the middle of an online meeting with an MP this is bloody frustrating and unacceptable. Your service is often unreliable in the middle of the day. Can it be fixed or do I need another provider as backup?

  • Wendywirdz
    Wendy (@Wendywirdz) reported from Abingdon, England

    @virginmedia Finally we did. Took 2 days of texting. Not the best service.

    @virginmedia Exactly - hands washed of the issue. I don’t need an update, you’ve told me it’s done. It isn’t.

    @Benleo @virginmedia My experience last week…..after leaving Virgin Media 2 years ago, and switching to City Fibre (Braw Band). I inadvertently cut my external cable, cutting my hedge. Phoned up, - spoke to a real person first time. They came out next morning at 8.10 and replaced my cable. SERVICE!

    @saltyy_savage I had Virgin media for years and only issues and expensive contracts. I am on Plusnet right now £43/46 for 900mb with 0 problems and uk customer services. They do £3 increase yearly and I am curious to see my first contract end what I'll get. Bet still better than virgin

    @O2 @virginmedia has anyone else experienced a further decline in customer care since O2 was taken over by the dreadful Virgin Group?

    @LouiseMensch @virginmedia @Benleo They’ve worked brilliantly for me for 20 years. Enormous companies have very different user experiences at the margins. I’m sorry to hear about Ben’s and hope that they care enough about service delivery to fix it before it damages their brand.

  • phebes36
    fabian shallow (@phebes36) reported

    @virginmedia spoke to your customer service team in regards to my bill. I'm still waiting for my email to say that this month's bill is wrong and to send the correct one. Its been more than 24 hours since I spoke to them.

  • xTHEDROIDx
    Richard (@xTHEDROIDx) reported

    @virginmedia I've managed to sort it. Your customer service is appalling and because they're based in India, they lack any form of understanding or compassion and language barriers made the entite situation worse. Your UK based customer service team are flawless.

    @Benleo They, Virgin media are terrible. I'm with Plusnet now, wonderful customer service, always speak to an English person in UK, they pick up quick too.
