    Ye gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.

  • ema_neale
    emma (@ema_neale) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!

    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

    @virginmedia I'm definitely filein complaint 15 days without no TV and 2 kids is really hard work its either that or I'll go with someone else

    Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

    Why can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.

    @Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.

  • EmSatch
    EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

    Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported from Walker Gate, England

    What will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.

  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.

    @virginmedia can you help me please everytime I try to log in the virgin media app on my mobile account it's logs me off all the time why ?

  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia 2 technicians over a week period, 4 visits. TV back on but Internet on and off now. Will be ringing Sky tomorrow and also your cancellation team. Clearly this is my service from now on.

  • mickeywhizz
    Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

  • VictoriaBarry82
    Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia The link asks me to log in which I do, then it shows me my contract etc, I can either fill a form in for someone to contact me but I’ve did it before or it shows the complaint as been closed

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia If there is any tools that you can suggest I use to solve my issue it will be greatly appreciated, I don’t mean to mean in your position but I just would like to know exactly what you can do SHAW at the end of the day I’m assuming you’re going to tell me to go to technical help

  • liamsholder91

  • Baggladee
    Margot (@Baggladee) reported

    @virginmedia @JamieGBarry It’s a ridiculous business model that a decent regulator would stop. You lost me as a customer because I didn’t play the game. Apparently I should have phoned you to ‘negotiate’ instead of taking your new price at face value, cancelling and moving to another provider

  • footymarketer
    Clive Edwards (@footymarketer) reported

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 This is actually atrocious, both the initial mistake and this poorly worded, lacking in true sentiment, reply. Your system failures are not what this poor chap wants to hear about. Branson should be looking at his licensing agreement with the clearly inept organisations behind Virgin Media.

  • vickiferris
    Vicky Leigh (@vickiferris) reported

    @virginmedia "I can open a new complaint". No please resolve the first complaint. This is actually painful at this time. Why does some agent say one thing and then another one say another

  • daddytoatribe
    Kyle (@daddytoatribe) reported

    @virginmedia @JamieGBarry No that's utter rubbish. You give new customers much much more favourable deals and the try to fleece existing customers with extortionate renewal prices and say you can't match the new customer deals

  • DragonYami3
    DragonYami (@DragonYami3) reported

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 Got OWNED by Community Notes smh Seriously, do better. This is several levels of uncool and bad management

  • LunCAsylum
    Lunc Asylum (@LunCAsylum) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia cancel your contract and get virgin media as a new customer in your wifes name, request install the day after your current contract ends....they will tell you you cant do it but i have been for 15 years

  • Old_Motherduck
    Old Motherduck (@Old_Motherduck) reported

    @virginmedia @JamieGBarry maybe you should make that clear from the beginning and treat loyal customers as first time customers

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Not that long. The CS person is chatting **** there. Sorry for your loss, I was fortunate that when each of my parents died, no-one did that rubbish.
