    Virgin media customer service 🥴😭🤯

  • fos100 Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, England

    Who in their right mind schedules planned maintenance for a Monday morning and says it could go on until three pm? Oh yeah, @virginmedia - cracking service as always #workfromhome #muppets

  • ZachcloseYT zach close YT 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@ZachcloseYT) reported from St Helens, England

    Before covid came you was brilliant @virginmedia but ever since then you have been really **** and if it not sorted by next Sunday we are leaving you it literally 2023 and you still got **** service

  • Parleyyyyyy Josh (@Parleyyyyyy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just done that. If you watch the video though you’ll see it doesn’t even let me get to the login page. As soon as I click on virgin media customer it tries to take me to a website & then closes down

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

    @jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.

  • NdawanaY Ndawana Youngson (@NdawanaY) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia They worked on it, or so I thought. I was told they fixed some external connections issue (outside the house)

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Sorry I really don’t get it. A few hours ago I was told that your team would investigate etc. Now you’re telling you don’t have any access so I’m left to hang on with no one from VM being able to update me. Is that it?

  • obpls1995 owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia can you explain why the moment I told your staff over the phone that I was disabled they decided to speak to me as if I was an idiot and then tell me they can't help me because I can't spell out my password despite telling them 5 times what the password was.

  • IanRobEfc1878 IanRob79💙 (@IanRobEfc1878) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia your red button service is absolute dogshit you either get the wrong commentary or it doesn’t even come on! 🤯🤬

  • IanForrest10 Ian Forrest (@IanForrest10) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Plugged in new Wi-Fi hub all good. Paired new remote with box but upgrade to box failed error code M63. Bot is all over place customer service rep basically non-engineer saying turn it off on again!

  • AckerHeron Tony (@AckerHeron) reported from Liverpool, England

    Hi @virginmedia, my dear old mum has been on the phone for 20 minutes because her broadband has gone down. Your advisors keep saying to reset the hub and disconnecting before it's sorted. Any ideas? Still using the crap one you sent years ago despite her recontracting

  • fos100 Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, England

    Since I moved, the @virginmedia connection has been terrible. I’ve had an engineer out, had a booster put on, been told on numerous occasions to reboot the hub. This shouldn’t be needed. Their website is horrendous to use and largely involves linking to help guides 1/?

  • MattEllis81 Matthew Ellis (@MattEllis81) reported

    @virginmedia Here’s an idea “sorry Matthew to hear of this, as much as we do not have the capacity to look at your complaint, but in the event to try and ensure some satisfaction would you like me to send a message to the relevant team to call you” ..... just an idea

  • Developer_Geek DevGeek (@Developer_Geek) reported

    @virginmedia Sadly Terri the triage bot is constantly asking me if I would like to remain in the queue and no matter how many times I say yes, it's replying with the same self help links and asking if I want to hold again. Seems broken.

  • logical4ever Working Class Socialist (@logical4ever) reported

    My @virginmedia broadband down for the next 3 hours, so I’ve got use my rolling phone data. Do I get any compensation?

  • TheGJRichards Gary J. Richards (@TheGJRichards) reported

    @virginmedia No, nothing like that. When you click the red button it says, “please wait...” but the match choice never loaded up. I tried resetting the Virgin Box but it remained the same.

  • ECBtweeting E-C (@ECBtweeting) reported

    @virginmedia This is always what I check and there are no problems reported I then go round & round: check area, check account, check connections, switch off/ on. Then it is back on until the next time. This just happened again today, while on a work call. Ended up using my mobile

  • TheLifeIShare Our Family Blog (@TheLifeIShare) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, it’s been registered there for years, I’ve doubled checked twice this week. We don’t give it out or use it for anything. The bbc reported a massive data breach for you, is that the problem?
