  • GibboLFC1892 Andy Gibson (@GibboLFC1892) reported from Hindley, England

    @virginmedia So I stayed with you for another 12 months. With a clean account, our first bill in July reduced by £19 to £28. Paid the July amount, had a reminder to pay the August figure of £47, which had doubled from somewhere. WTF was my reaction. Paid £47. Not paying rest.

  • ansumDave David Harrison (@ansumDave) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia You didn't t even address it. Went on your terms and conditions and corporate statement. You have not followed up r own protocol. Would be interesting to see if the plentiful other complaints got the same short shrift. It was the lying and the price gouging that is the worst

  • ListerTheStupid Rob (@ListerTheStupid) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia are you down in Liverpool??? *full disclosure* I’ve not had any problems at all for well over 2-3 years with your service, I got a phone call about a week ago now.... going through all that “what we can do for you as you’ve been a customer for a long time” stuff 1/2.

  • MoLegend Mohamed Farah (@MoLegend) reported from Liverpool, England

    I’m sick and tired of this now. Sort it out @virginmedia. No tv or internet working. I can’t be dealing with this today of all days. For the last two days the signal have been awful n today no internet at all. #Liverpool #virginmedia #****

  • KatharineGuiney Katharine Guiney (@KatharineGuiney) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Tried several times in good faith to contact you via phone to amend my TV and broadband package to suit budget then followed your robots advice to log into my account which says I cannot do it that way. 14 yr customer. Why should I pay for services I can't cancel?😠

    Hay @virginmedia so as an ex-employee this is a bit embarrassing I couldn’t help with; but it looks like someone has fraudulently ordered a mobile and iPad in my dads name that were delivered today and he’s spent over 90 minutes on the phone getting the run around….

  • ListerTheStupid Rob (@ListerTheStupid) reported from Liverpool, England

  • colin_haynes Colin Haynes (@colin_haynes) reported

    @virginmedia Exactly my problem. Agent called to allegedly follow up on a problem and proceeded to sell me a service. Your agent! Leaving me with a problem and a very negative experience. Poor! 30 years a customer - let’s see if we can get to 31!

  • hiltonsimon Simon Hilton (@hiltonsimon) reported

    It took TEN HOURS with @VirginMedia customer service today to get to the point where I cancelled my broadband, TV and phone account with them out of utter frustration.

  • MarkWil31487089 Mark Williamson (@MarkWil31487089) reported

    @virginmedia Yes comes on for a couple of minutes and then off again for several hours but your customer service told me not to contact them again until the 8th May 🐍

    @virginmedia are an absolute ******* joke! Cutting my TV&Wifi off whilst investigating a complaint! 3 o’clock I had a call with a manager to investigate and settle the complaint, told me he’d ring me back in 15 minutes, still waiting 6 hours later! Absolute joke! Absolute ****!

  • ClaireAndrew25 Claire Andrew (@ClaireAndrew25) reported

    @virginmedia I need an issue resolved ! My mums new equipment got delivered today and she has plugged it in and nothing. We need this resolved my mum has just lost my dad abs this is the last thing she needs to be dealing with. Your service has been an absolutely shocking disgrace

  • fatlad99 stuart.j.glen (@fatlad99) reported

    @virginmedia And there in lies the issue @virginmedia, what you need is a bit of proactive customer service. If you wanted to really do something you have all the information you need. If you really cared you would. I’m sure someone in your company has the right access.

  • Bostonian7019 The Bostonian (@Bostonian7019) reported

    @virginmedia If it had been later at night, after telephone banking advisors finish for the night & my p.c. had a problem, what would I have been able to do? Nothing.

  • squarris sq (@squarris) reported
