  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    Feeling let down AGAIN by @virginmedia, 8 days ago an engineer finally identifies the problem is external cabling, another hour call on Tuesday and still no idea of a fix date or a call back, in the meantime constant broadband drop out #unacceptable

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply, the issue is the cable from our house to the road. Needs a construction team, I understand it may take a few weeks but zero comms. Everything I call the tech dept they want to sell me a booster!

  • IrafanO IrafanO (@IrafanO) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia my broadband has gone down every day this week. This is getting ridiculous.

  • ansumDave David Harrison (@ansumDave) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia The point is this was raised Wednesday I was promised a call back that afternoon Chased it up in Thursday Promised a call back by midday today at the very latest Each time I do contact your centres have to listen to awful hold music for hour and often get hung up on

  • emma1995_louise emma louise crowther (@emma1995_louise) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia ive just been looking online at your bundles and it says you cant order a tv and broadband without a phone but i didnt have a landline with your self as im an ex customer

  • mymatedex @gm (@mymatedex) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia any chance someone could help me. Been trying to get through for 2 hours. Want to cancel my TVcontract and this is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do to cancel. Going around in circles 🤯

  • ansumDave David Harrison (@ansumDave) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Called your service promised a call back on Wednesday Didn't happen Rang on Thursday Was hung up on Rang back Unsympathetic operative promised call back 72 hours Will it happen tomorrow highly skeptical You have taken more than £300 from me and lied

  • walshy31 Paul Walsh (@walshy31) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Sorry back in work today! Would adding boosters help?

  • scousenat *scousenat🌈 (@scousenat) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I did it says Everything is working fine... tell that to my dismal WiFi signal

  • KayakmooseF Kayakmoose (@KayakmooseF) reported from Liverpool, England

    @BeanToast @skytv @virginmedia Check each month's bill very carefully as they are prone to be really inconsistent when it comes to billing. I wouldn't use them at all but no others can provide speed like there's in my area. Once others start providing a service like virgin I will be changing providers.

  • ansumDave David Harrison (@ansumDave) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia So your promises mean nothing nor customer service. I ha e spent so much to e explaining my self and my issue. If I say I will do something I will do it. When I rang the centre yet again this morning I was again assured that a call back would be made today

  • ansumDave David Harrison (@ansumDave) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Ringing your service once more how pathetic is it

  • scousenat *scousenat🌈 (@scousenat) reported from Liverpool, England

    @Cragsi_77 @virginmedia getting my notice to leave soon as I can if they can’t sort it tomorrow but im not sticking with this crap till October

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia The 4 people I spoke to seemed to think they were running late from the visit last Thursday, lady I spoke to was helpful and was calling the tech that visited the problem, another 5 days later and still no update!

  • IrafanO IrafanO (@IrafanO) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia anybody else having problems everyday with Virgin Broadband. Mine crashes one every a day.

  • scottcvrroll Scott Carroll (@scottcvrroll) reported from Liverpool, England

    Honestly becoming fed up with the service provided by @virginmedia — feel like I’m constantly trying to fix things.

  • Acko_79 Acko * (@Acko_79) reported from Liverpool, England

    @M555Jay @virginmedia Always going off. Sick of it but wouldn’t know where to start. Plus think we tied to a contract. **** knows.

  • ansumDave David Harrison (@ansumDave) reported from Liverpool, England

  • AliyaDavis71 Aliya Davis (@AliyaDavis71) reported

    @virginmedia I have been trying for three days now to cancel my services I have tried every possible way - but you won’t let me cancel WHY????

  • Gabarillo Gabby Harrington-Poole (@Gabarillo) reported

    @virginmedia Help! Broadband not working. Your staff at the call centre are totally incompetent. I have to work from home, my son has online lessons today! Someone call me immediately please! As your last call handler cut the call off!

  • 3LinesOfCoco Wanda (@3LinesOfCoco) reported

    @virginmedia Omg! I know, what am I? A boomer? I seriously suggest you have some caffeine before dealing with another customer unless your a robot, then just reboot yourself. I’ll just ring up later. Bye x

  • sando_87 Scott Sanderson (@sando_87) reported

    @virginmedia Called in today and when I asked to speak to someone specific I was hung up on after hour and 30mins on the call. Great customer service as usual. What’s the point in your call centres if they can’t do their job and can do what they want without any punishment.

  • lfc_jayj Jj (@lfc_jayj) reported

    @virginmedia Every time i ring you all i ever get told is if you not happy with price go some where else , 20 + years service only reason i have stayed so long is that i only ever used my emails through a virgin email address , but now sorted that and moved all to another one now so not tied

  • BeardedBlue20 Bearded-Blue ⭐⭐ (@BeardedBlue20) reported

    @virginmedia No issue listed.

  • lovheather Heather Banks (@lovheather) reported

    @virginmedia ive been trying to resolve a complaint since 12th November 2021!

  • richbird73 Rich Bird (@richbird73) reported

    @virginmedia All I want to know is whether a technician is attending his address today! They’ve sent a new box to install but no remote! The remote is the only thing that was broke. Customer services wouldn’t speak to a man who is 83 who does not know his account number, his email address!

  • koshepen ItzKoshepen (@koshepen) reported

    @virginmedia I was unable to get through the bot in the customer service
