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

    @virginmedia can someone help me please? I’m about to lose my ****. Never ever known anything like this company. Now telling me lies on WhatsApp. Saying i logged an issue weeks after engineers had already been out to find the fault. Refusing compensation after 4 mths no service.

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

    @virginmedia And the last complaint I raised over this got cancelled because it didn't have any details to the complaint even though all the messages are there to see through your WhatsApp service but the retentions team can't see that or deal with the complaint or help in anyway way

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

    @virginmedia I reported a total loss of service on 31/8. It was finally fixed this morning. After no shows, lies and weeks between visits. They have not even offered to cover the cost of my last 3 dd’s which I wish I hadn’t paid as I had no service whatsoever

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

    @virginmedia Or put me through to a manager or try to be remotely helpful in keeping me as a customer, im trying to sign an 18 month contract to give you money every month which I could just give to someone else I will not let this lie till i have my money back!

  • Nicolajb87 Nicola Bates (@Nicolajb87) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia can you help my mum and dad they have had no telephone line since yesterday. The internet also went off but that seems to be back on now. It’s vital we get the phone on asap

  • 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?

  • ColinBe76578911 Colin (@ColinBe76578911) reported from Liverpool, England

    @MrCallum011 @virginmedia @peterkay_co_uk Ditto . Been down more than a ****** knickers lately

  • NeckSausage NeckSausage (@NeckSausage) reported from Tarleton, England

  • kevsauno Kevin Saunderson* (@kevsauno) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia hello, issues with TV and WiFi in Liverpool L12 area this morning. No issues showing on the app. Tried all the usual stuff but still no connection.

  • 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

  • SmithysMaud 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • yjw_x 𝙔𝙖𝙨𝙢𝙞𝙣⋆ (@yjw_x) reported

    @virginmedia On behalf of parents in law, they are having issues with their account and advised of a new price, however bill states different (more expensive price) can you advise a number to speak to someone?

  • doxxor1333 doxxor (@doxxor1333) reported

    @virginmedia it was originally a progress chase on internal fault ticket = F009669229 but due to every single reply not being related to anything I've said its escalated. I'm starting to wonder if its a member of staff trying to signal they're in distress?

  • CurryInTurry DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported

    @virginmedia No! Sam said if I had any further enquiries I was to e mail him. I have done twice and he is not replying. Damn right rude and in totally the wrong job. Customer services…it’s a joke!

  • _rachelbridges rach (@_rachelbridges) reported

    Imagine being on the phone for 30 mins to @virginmedia for them to put phone down. Shocking customer service. Not even been an active customer for 24 hours yet either. Absolute JOKE.

  • SP1D3R_Sway Martin_Sway 🦁💚🦁💚 (@SP1D3R_Sway) reported

    @virginmedia customer service team are a joke, I have a simple question and nobody can seem to give me any answers

  • janerrr_ Jane (@janerrr_) reported

    Nightmare dealing with @virginmedia Took days to actually speak to someone to cancel contract & now when they have arranged to collect the equipment no one turns up, a waste of a day having to stay in for this. Website makes it impossible to contact anyone about this too.

  • Deano612 Dean Newton (@Deano612) reported

    @virginmedia please can somebody tell me why I am being left for almost 3 weeks without Boardband, TV and Phone, and then call me a liar, and I'm not paying for a service that I'm not getting. Maybe @skytv can give me a better customer service.

  • SAsuman8 A Photon (@SAsuman8) reported

    @virginmedia Well I called them before and no solution!

  • Tenacious_P Kook! (@Tenacious_P) reported

    @virginmedia It appears you and your colleagues spout any kind of nonsense to get me signed up and then don't care about the service provided thereafter. As I was mis-sold the contract, I want it cancelled

  • Tenacious_P Kook! (@Tenacious_P) reported

    @virginmedia Why have I previously been advised I would hear back within a set amount of hours if I'm to contact them? Considering I've been informed incorrectly from your side for the past 2 months, the delay to me being able to fully utilise the service is your fault...
