    @virginmedia It’s an ongoing issue and an engineer is due out on Thursday but today the internet decided it didn’t want to work on my laptop

    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia 38 days after the repull should’ve been done? You think that’s good customer service?

    @virginmedia Can you check that I will be receiving a credit on my next bill as it has been down since Friday afternoon and I don’t think it will be fixed by 12pm today, I think that time will get changed again.

    @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @VirginMedia Received message. Now not accepting my email address. I have one only. My problem is with the remote control which is activated by pressing 2 buttons when they light up. Have had nothing but trouble with one remote for one TV. Your communication us not helpful.

  • BertNashCha
    Bert Nash (@BertNashCha) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Poor. Very poor. 3 days trying, being on hold, being assured return calls, moving home team have to speak to Netflix team (don't even have it), then being told it's cancelled and being give packaging instructions. Ridiculous, wanted to stay with you.

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia 3 x engineer visits, each time telling me there’s a blockage. Why does nobody fix it? I can’t even get through to cancel my services and get a refund for the direct debits I’ve paid when I’ve had zero service.

  • GreenwasBlue

    @virginmedia I've tried the online help to no avail.Just going round in circles. How do I get to book a visit by a human being?? 😡

  • Baxy2001
    Baxy (@Baxy2001) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia please can you explain why I have been in a queue to speak to someone for over 35 minutes to try and cancel my contract? Absolute joke of a company, poor services and poor customer service.

  • KeithJBolton
    Keith Bolton (@KeithJBolton) reported from St Helens, England

    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia 2/2 who can I speak to as it was working fine on Friday until the issues that were nothing to do with me happened, so don’t see why I should now pay for a technician

  • anthony_murphy1
    Anthony Murphy (@anthony_murphy1) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia is there a way for me to find out if my phone number has been leaked or involved in any form of data breach as I've been getting daily phone calls from people pretending to be you? Never anyone else so just intrigued.

  • elisabethhilto4
    Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down in our area since Monday. I keep getting multiple emails saying it'll be fixed by 12pm tomorrow, then 4pm Wednesday 12pm Thursday, 12pm Friday and now 4pm Friday. None of your call centre staff can help us we've spent hours on hold this week.

    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia No, they just left. Rang your customer service they are now telling me the problem is internal. I’ve had no internet since July, no tv since August. It’s beyond a joke now. 5 visits I’ve had.

    @virginmedia new customer here. Great customer service when you wanted my business. Now: Still not Wi-Fi-boosters are contracted to give. Impossible to get through to an agent, instead going in circles with your automated number. Web-messaging not responding. What do I do?

  • jeffsmithspurs
    Jeff Smith (@jeffsmithspurs) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I’m desperate to talk to someone regarding my broadband as it’s cancelling but I need it to continue. I cannot get through on WhatsApp, phone or through the chat. Can you help this is critical for me. I’m a long term customer and have been on hold for two days!

  • andyduncan84
    Andy Duncan (@andyduncan84) reported

    @virginmedia I’m having problems with your newly installed service. Your chat service is rubbish & I’ve been on hold for over 45mins! This is not a great start! Someone better get in touch with me soon or I’ll be cancelling my direct debit!

  • junie1954
    June Tobin (@junie1954) reported

    @virginmedia On pushing the private message button nothing happens. I'm trying to give 30 days notice to remove Sky Sports and TNT Sports. Your service has been so appalling today I'm considering leaving altogether.

  • the_only_abi
    Abby Brown (@the_only_abi) reported

    @BarbaraQCrow @virginmedia I had a good experience with them a couple of weeks ago too! Wanted to cancel as contract ending and prices going up (a lot!), did it via online chat and got same contract for less than we were paying. None of this messing about etc.

  • fellowska
    Adam Kieran Fellows (@fellowska) reported

    @virginmedia and just as I bloody expected, phone gets put down. Absolutely a ******* joke. Been waiting for you to get back to me since Thursday on WhatsApp, your bot can’t put me through to an agent either. Disgraceful customer service

    Hi @virginmedia I am trying to cancel my account, but no one is answering your phones and your web chat totally broken. Do I really have to send you a letter to cancel?!
