  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Are you wanting me to comment in the broadband section? Can you explain the benefits of this as you won't send an engineer out if there is an issue constantly in the area and your tech team are already aware of it, plus I have the ofcom complaint aswell?

  • tomrushton88
    Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia Don't use this company its disgusting and disappointing the way they treat customers. Been trying to sort my contract out for 3 months now while they rob my money, create contracts that I've not agreed to and cancel complaints that I've raised.

  • 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.

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

  • KerryKez7
    Kerry Louise (@KerryKez7) reported from Urmston, England

    Don’t ever get Virgin Media internet/WIFI it’s SO garbage & keeps going off especially when your watching something WTF & apparently it’s the most up to date & according to them it’s the best NO it’s not plus it’s expensive for being SO c**p 🤬💷😤

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia I'm guessing they don't work Saturday Sunday, so that will take us from Thursday to some point Monday for a resolution? Would it be quick if I phone up, send me a case ref number or something?

    @virginmedia internet at ch45 has been up and down several times in the last 24 hours. Always that it will be fixed by 16:07 tomorrow. What is going on?

  • DeviousPL
    invs86 (@DeviousPL) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt It’s mind-blowing anyone is still using Virgin, they are absolutely awful, network is held together by string and tape and customer services do their absolute best to infuriate you - either dropping the call, long holds or arguing. “Technical faults” are a weekly occurrence.

  • DoireSheridan
    Doire Sheridan (@DoireSheridan) reported

    @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia Ireland Derangement Syndrome on full display. Pointing out that a shoulder to the head, where the arm was pre-tucked, should have been a red card, and that slapping the ball down when there was a 2 vs 1 on the outside, should not send a grown-*** man into a fit of hysterics.

  • duckterwhoo
    Duckterwhoo (@duckterwhoo) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Not had a single issue and been a customer for 10 years. And I get 1gb line which is full fiber no issues.

    Simon Gallagher (@SiGallagher) reported

    @virginmedia I have DMed about an issue: please reply to me. And quickly so I don’t end up with 10 scam artist accounts replying to this.

  • o00525600
    NEVER give up. (@o00525600) reported

    @TheMandyGall @ElectricIreland virgin media has threatened me with collecting heavies if I don't pay for service I never got I tried and tried to tell them I was moving but couldn't get to talk to anyone eventually in March I did but they didn't want to know my bill then was 37 e,now it's 157 e on and on on on

    BriBiotech (@bribiotech) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia @richardbranson I was as pissed off as you but rather than take pain of dealing with them open the box damaged the innards reassembled and sent it to them. Would you believe it took me 36 hours of chasing them on WhatsApp to cancel the contract.

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Yh im with them and looking into changing they treat long term customers like ***** been with the 12 years you would think id offended there mum the way they treat me

  • Si_Vargeson
    Simon Vargeson (@Si_Vargeson) reported

    @virginmedia is it usual practice to delay installations without communicating to your new customers? You’ve currently missed 2 instal dates and no comms to let me know to avoid waiting at home for your arrival…. Customer service seem to be unable to provide any detail too😡
