  • 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......

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia There’s no known issues. I shouldn’t have to spend 30 mins on hold trying to get through to you to have an issue corrected that hasn’t been done as part of my contract agreement. Shouldn’t you be able to call customers when you have an agent free who can make outgoing calls?

  • 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 ....

  • 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!!!

  • 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

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia The text messaging team that says it aims to respond within 4 hours but hasn’t responded to me since 11am yesterday? Basically I have no option now but to sit on hold in a queue for 30+ mins to fix a problem you’ve created by not upgrading me. Your customer service is awful.

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I get the same result hard wired with Ethernet too. It’s not a wifi issue. Also I’m not sure how wifi would decide to ignore an increase in speed and decide to limit itself to the old speed coincidentally. Someone on your end hasn’t enabled the faster speed to my property.

  • 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!!!

  • Daveyb1974 David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    Great work from @virginmedia, your contract has expired, we want you to stay as a customer, we’ll give you the best deal out there! Give them a call, sorry can’t help, you’re on the best package, but we want to charge you £40 a month more than a new customer! #shitshow

  • 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

  • Daveyb1974 David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia This is the exact type of poor service I received when I called customer service. The package I am currently on is £89 for a new customer, but £129 for a loyal customer. The response back was “that’s all I can do”. Your response is almost as bad “don’t like it, raise a complaint”

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • XCharlotteJadeX CharlotteJadeDuffy❀ (@XCharlotteJadeX) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia please can someone help me cancel my contract, I move house in a few weeks and have been trying to get through to you many different ways with no luck for over a month now, I need to sort this ASAP, thanks

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    Nearly a week after signing up to a new contract with @virginmedia they’ve still not upgraded my speed to what we agreed to. Their Twitter support refuses to acknowledge the issue and my complaint hasn’t been picked up yet. I guess they don’t care once a contract is agreed.

  • 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.

  • Daveyb1974 David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    @nickleeland @virginmedia I asked to speak to someone that could help and got “my supervisor is on 14 day isolation”. Ok put him on the phone as I’m guessing he can work from home? Computer says no! Poor poor service!

  • lydiadoyle113 Lydia Doyle (@lydiadoyle113) reported

    @virginmedia Thomas your previous tweets dont tell me anything. Youre not offering any solutions, it would take 5 minutes to sort out. You dont leave your customers any solution but to terminate their contracts with you- 4 months of no wifi and this is your response to sorting out the

  • rogerharley2 roger harley (@rogerharley2) reported

    @virginmedia so just who do I contact for email problems? Going around in circles with your customer services. Need to talk to a technical expert asap.

  • steviesmith steve smith (@steviesmith) reported

    @mattcseries3 @virginmedia Virgin Media needs to be greedy because of its business model. They provide the means to watch more and more streaming content from other platforms (via broadband) and so people don't need Virgin's TV service. We only stream content (iPlayer, BritBox and a bit of Amazon).

  • qMistt Jason (@qMistt) reported

    @virginmedia I have called both none have helped with my problem and I have had this problem for 2+ weeks

  • tonypressley Tony Pressley (@tonypressley) reported

    Hey @virginmedia your customer service is utter garbage. Apart from that it's fine.

  • Jimmythechick James (@Jimmythechick) reported

    Hey @virginmedia! New customer here! But it’s not been great so far - Someone tried to charge setup cost despite there being no setup cost on my plan, failed install 2day because no site survey was done & now will be without ANY broadband services for 3 weeks. Is this normal??

  • HawSophie Sophie Haw (@HawSophie) reported

    @virginmedia I am not a virgin media customer. It was a incident that happened with one of your van drivers earlier today. It was appalling and if no one calls me on the above number I am going to the police to report. Disgraceful.

  • gilmore_eilis Eilis Gilmore (@gilmore_eilis) reported

    @virginmedia Several neighbours also confirm no wifi / internet available. Is there an issue in Lucan? When will it be resolved?

  • CommonSense4Ya Common Sense (@CommonSense4Ya) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, are there issues in Lucan and if so, when are they gonna be fixed?

  • franigma93 franigma (@franigma93) reported

    @virginmedia my partner and I booked a broadband and home phone package last night which says it would be £33/month for 18 mo and £62/month thereafter. Our contract email today however says that our bill will be £62/month from the start. Can’t get through on phone, please help.
