  • Jonesj1988 Jonesy (@Jonesj1988) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on with your customer service line the waiting times are ridiculous!!!! I only need to give you a pac number to get my number transferred why am I regretting switching providers already haven’t even got started yet 😡

  • Footywirerob Rob Wood (@Footywirerob) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia why can I never seem to get through without a twenty odd minute wait. I have a query re my bill and can't seem to speak to anyone

  • sandras_smith Sandra SmithMND (@sandras_smith) reported from St Helens, England

    @Danielle869 @virginmedia I agree. The service my 85 year old dad received was appalling. Moved to Sky, when @virginmedia asked how they could keep custom, our reply “ wouldn’t have if it was free”.

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

    So @virginmedia harassing me again about a router i returned a year ago saying it’s not been sent to them. I’m not to blame for their rubbish inventory system. I’ve left @virginmedia to get away from their ineptitude but it never ends. Will be putting it an official complaint.

  • NicolaAinsy279 Nicola Connor (@NicolaAinsy279) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I am no longer a customer and I have paid the account in full. It was paid in August 2018 and my credit file is showing that I’m behind on my payments and have been since April 2018 as it hasn’t been updated for 18 months! 4 times I’ve been told my complaint would be dealt with.

  • Hartley86 Tim Hartley (@Hartley86) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia absolute terrible customer service on the phone over an hour and got nowhere !! Fuming 😤

  • AHeywood_84 Andy (@AHeywood_84) reported from Golborne, England

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract, why cant I do this over live chat or online without someone keeping me on the phone trying to sell me a deal that is far worse than you signed me up with!! Iffer me a good deal to keep me, ir just let me cancel without fuss, Sort it out!

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

    @RichPierce0079 @virginmedia @SkyUK @VodafoneUK All different issues really. Virgin is its own thing. Sky could have been a line issue, Vodafone went live earlier today but despite saying it has an internet connection it doesn’t. Almost like they’ve not activated it on their end despite the app saying the line is active.

  • AHeywood_84 Andy (@AHeywood_84) reported from Golborne, England

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract, why cant I do this over live chat or online without someone keeping me on the phone trying to sell me a deal that is far worse than you signed me up with!! Offer me a good deal to keep me, or just let me cancel without fuss, Sort it out!

  • TezzP Tezz P (@TezzP) reported from Haydock, England

    Another weekend, another issue with Virgin media broadband, this has to be the worst broadband ive ever had #flakyatbest @virginmedia

  • Sauber_Dave David Kelly (@Sauber_Dave) reported from Maghull, England

    @virginmedia That was just a number to check if there were any known issues in my area. Not very helpful.

  • stefaniantiques Stefani Antiques (@stefaniantiques) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I rang support yesterday and they said an ongoing issue that could take up to a week and when I follow your link it says no known issues. #mixedmessages

  • djmikey32 michael old (@djmikey32) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia No call, no message, no email 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 this is a service that don't care about there customers obviously......

  • neil_pandb Neil Ashurst (@neil_pandb) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Had four meetings and cheese and tomato pasta for my dinner, but I guess that's not what you meant 🙄 Once again been in a queue for over 20 minutes with no one answering. Guess I'll just have to raise a complaint and go that way 😠

  • CoreyLDavies Corey Davies (@CoreyLDavies) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    The customer service from @virginmedia is absolutely shocking!

  • jen1562 Jennifer Donnelly (@jen1562) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Thank you, I’ve tried that. It then directed me to status check page. No issues noted in the area as yet. This was the same as yesterday

  • NicolaAinsy279 Nicola Connor (@NicolaAinsy279) reported from Liverpool, England

    4th time complaining to @virginmedia and still NO reply and not dealt with at all. 3 complaint forms submitted and 1 letter. Now with the @financialombuds but going to take a while because of large volumes of complaints 😕🙄 just want my credit file updating! 😡

  • ValAlker val alker (@ValAlker) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I just want a landline and broadband package without the TV - and maybe just Broadband - I want to see your prices and options - and decide - but it seems as an existing customer you don’t want to talk to me about options -

  • djmikey32 michael old (@djmikey32) reported from Garston, England

    @XboxLiveLogon @virginmedia No i dont i want great service and a engineer who turns up when they are scheduled to attend.

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

    @virginmedia I don’t want anything to do with you, I’m fed up talking to you about this. I called up a couple of weeks ago and spoke to a lady who told me there’s nothing to worry about, the system is updated and I won’t be charged. Yet I’ve just received a text. Beyond poor customer service.

  • faman32 Faman32 (@faman32) reported

    @virginmedia I have had no internet it’s been down for hours now I live in bradford how long till it’s back up because this is so annoying the whole house is sat waiting for it to get running again.

  • stephen_1430 Stephen Fawcett (@stephen_1430) reported

    @virginmedia have the worst customer service I’ve ever known. 3 weeks without no internet and still have the cheek to charge me £30+ a month. Saying my house/area is non serviceable when there’s hotspots all around me. Sort it, or it’s getting cancelled.

  • chris_and_murph Chris & Murphy (@chris_and_murph) reported

    @virginmedia All I’ve asked for is contact details of somebody able to resolve a hazard, which you haven’t and presumably won’t provide. No longer my problem when you get sued.

  • HelenT_26 Helen Thomas (@HelenT_26) reported

    @virginmedia I've had emergency calls only and no mobile data for the last 6 days while waiting for a replacement sim card which takes 3-5 working days to arrive. It's a bit ridiculous that they aren't sent out next day delivery if your sim card stops working like mine has

  • MarkWL20 Mark Walker🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 (@MarkWL20) reported

    I am sick of companies like @ScottishPower and @virginmedia constantly putting the prices up I have been a loyal customer for years New customers get all the deals while we get shafted. Well from now on every year I'm going to go with a different company Save myself a fortune Bye

  • tfbutt Tariq Butt (@tfbutt) reported

    @virginmedia @BexsterUK VM are now being sneaky, if the service affects less than 25% customers they do not broadcast service status outage on their website, this is what Luke from VM told me.

  • brin1717 Brin1717 (@brin1717) reported

    @virginmedia It certainly is more than disappointing! I will definitely be making a formal complaint.

  • Clearmessage2 Jagdeep Birdi (@Clearmessage2) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, we have. It’s usually an outage and they happen regularly. It prevents us from working.

  • ofcAnthony Anthony, of course 💉💉 (@ofcAnthony) reported

    @virginmedia I have no idea how, MG. I've signed into the My Virgin Media portal but I can't see anything except service status, my package, and my bill (which is also half what I actually pay for some reason). Can't see anywhere to say that I want to opt out of marketing SMS

  • g_barfoot Cat whisperer (@g_barfoot) reported

    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia Losing another channel (CNN) just lost Fox & yet the prices don't reflect the increasing lack of content. Prices go up & choice goes down. I have hardly any channels from the original selection I made.
