  • DannyMcCann9 Danny McCann (@DannyMcCann9) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Refund please.... £26.00.... quality is crap...

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia It’s NOT an upgrade which I made clear on the phone. Again, no mention of this being the issue.

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia ....before going to lunch. Your system is set to terminate unanswered calls after just over an hour. This is much more enraging than having to wait in a queue. We’re British, it’s what we do. We DO NOT HANG UP on people. It is beyond rude. #rude #virginmediasuck #stillnointernet

  • joanreece jo m b (@joanreece) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia why is your internet so rubbish? We get a bit of rain and wind and the whole TV goes off with no connectivity its woeful. We have sat here for a few hours now with no tv at all and were paying £49 a month for wifi that doesnt work!!!

  • Hnc365 Howard Croston 🏁🇬🇧🇬🇬 (@Hnc365) reported from Preston, England

    @EppsRacer @virginmedia Gave up with @virginmedia many moons ago with the internet constantly being down which was laughable as I'd been talked into an upgrade that would cure the issue. Gave up with the call centre and sent a letter basically saying stuff! your contract

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    Hey @virginmedia On the phone to your customer service for 80 minutes in total now and counting. Been put on hold for 30 minutes of that. Losing will to live! Pound to a penny you lot cut me off in a minute......

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

    @virginmedia @SkySportsBoxing chance of sorting the **** picture we’ve paid £26 for out? Cracking and cutting out constantly.

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia The hold times aren’t the issue. I’d wait happily if I got an answer at the end. The issue is being hung up on after an hour then having a call answered only to have to listen to dead air for over 30 minutes while whoever is supposed to be helping has forgotten to logout ....1/2

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia No, I have one. The complaint referenced twice in this thread. One complaint....zero call backs!!!

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia Yes, but each deadline came and went with no resolution and the notification by text didn't happen Anyway, there's no point in this conversation any more as there's nothing you can do except make the company look bad with each answer I give

  • m_stephens8 macauley stephens (@m_stephens8) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia is the worst for speaking to an actually person🤯 adding packages unauthorised then making the bill nearly double.. jokers

  • torisprung Tori Sprung (@torisprung) reported from Liverpool, England

    @SkyHelpTeam We haven’t been booked in. Following some quick and informative enquiries, @virginmedia can install a new service in 3days; yet, a @SkyUK engineer can’t come out to us for over a week? When we pay a monthly small fortune, this all feels like terrible customer service

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Another issue is if I were to get a phone call in a weeks time I cannot just stop the job I do to answer it. Where will we be then? Having worked for Virgin I know exactly what’s going to happen. This won’t get sorted until my new bill gets paid for services I don’t want ....

  • bizzarebird BBird (@bizzarebird) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia No i can't see it, scan says no issues as the issue is only with WiFi. It's down again its insane. Doing full reset to factory setting see if that helps. But no link to report fault on my account

  • JoeHolmes1994 Joe (@JoeHolmes1994) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia are actually have the WORST customer service ever. No wonder they have never won any awards

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Hi John. Still no resolution I’m afraid. It’s getting closer to next bill date. Which BTW I’ve received two bills for. One at £27.49 and the other £113.00 and a double bill request which is laughable! I still don’t get why the next gen box is influencing my request. Today please

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia we have been trying to arrange our virgin services to be moved to our new house since 23/11/20. We were supposed to get a call back from one of your guys yesterday to help with a self install - no joy. Since yesterday I’ve spent over 3 hours on hold, been.......1/4

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Bet you anything they won’t I’m sorry to say. Never known a change in contract to take a week. Normally done there and then on the phone. The lady didn’t mention anything about this being the case. What now? I’m not waiting a week I’m afraid.

  • MattKeating1981 Matt's MerARTki (@MattKeating1981) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia absolutely shocking signal on box office!!! £24.99 for what looks like it's being stream on a Nintendo 64.

  • cadeharry Nightsky Ceilings (@cadeharry) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia You are the worse Internet provider in the PR postcode what has happened 4weeks now intermittent service its like flip a coin to see if the Internet is working. And the lies about adjusting my bill has never happened time to say goodbye.

    @virginmedia We have already given you a complaint number see, earlier tweets. We have added today's debacle to this so we should get a response within 7 days.

  • fryingpantheist Charlotte 🐨 (@fryingpantheist) reported from West Bridgford, England

    @virginmedia Okay, so on Thursday we were told to cancel the order and reorder it. We’ve done that so that we could pick it up today and have heard nothing about the delivery. Also, the person we spoke to over the phone on Thursday called us liars over the price we paid.

  • baabaa89 Victoria. 🐝 (@baabaa89) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia We have been experiencing issues with our hub. We often lose connection and then the connection is not very strong at all when connected. This has been happening for a couple of weeks. Please advise further.

  • PipeSteven Steven Pipe (@PipeSteven) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia The complaint was made over the phone yesterday. I wanted to cancel but was told I needed to finish my contract and could only make request 30 days before the end. At that time I downgraded my contract, this was confirmed in writing. A few weeks later I requested cancellation

  • NatalieNooNah Natalie 🦋 (@NatalieNooNah) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    And now ALL of my channels are ghosting. The picture is so bad I can’t watch anything, on any channel. My tv was totally fine before they arrived! The engineer said for me to call @virginmedia customer services, tell them what had happened, and a replacement tv will be arranged..
