    @garyrbarton @virginmedia Rule of thumb: hang up

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Anyone in North Tyneside struggling with @virginmedia?? Or is it just me? Keep losing signal and the TiVo box keeps rebooting. Had to abandon the National League final and now Gillian Anderson getting fruit in Room 203 of the Hilton Hotel Belstaff ...

  • hellsbells610 Hells Bells 🐶 (@hellsbells610) reported from Gateshead, England

  • norrismc Norris McCord (@norrismc) reported

    @TheFlyingKipper @virginmedia Would love to know how that chat went. Been on the phone several times with them to try and negotiate a better deal but never seem to get anywhere with them.

  • hktegner Henning Tegner (@hktegner) reported

    @virginmedia You are a waste of time! I reported this on Monday. I was told they would monitor and to wait. I've called back many times since. It is now 4 X 24 hours since I reported this problem. And still you tell me to wait. This is beyond a joke! @VirginMediaCorp

  • SpinachWilson Wilson Spinach (@SpinachWilson) reported

    @CarmenSinPlata @virginmedia Don't, no support, 4 weeks no answer

  • AndyBorrie Andy Borrie (@AndyBorrie) reported

    @virginmedia @Ofcom you have the worst customer service of any company I have ever had to deal with!!! You are simply useless at resolving any issues or problems. Your staff lie to customers consistently and are unable to resolve even simple problems.

  • Dect4 Dec Tidswell (@Dect4) reported

    @virginmedia Any issues with your service in the CH46 area? Intermittent connection followed by a total loss of internet connection. Making working from home impossible

  • StephenOld Sir Stephen Old Bart #LoyalSubjectOfThePinguwalda (@StephenOld) reported

    @KatTrimble It is no better with Virgin Media. I tried to switch to BT once because the customer service is so bad. Neither VM or BT really helped me with the switch so I gave up.

  • SamChisman Sam Chisman (@SamChisman) reported

    Your customer service is terrible, you should have informed me. As I do not know when you cut me off @virginmedia, or what calls have been missed, what is the likelihood that you refund me the landline charge from when YOU cut me off? (3/3) #ofcom

  • davidallevy David Levy (@davidallevy) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you. But removing email access and saying the IT team will be in touch within 5 working days is not ok.....Do you or @Ofcom regard this as an acceptable level of service?

  • MrRedfernGT Mr.Redfern 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇺🇦 (@MrRedfernGT) reported

    @virginmedia I'm not dealing with webchat. I've been waiting in a que to chat to someone for the past few days only fir the que to go to zero and then "connecting" with nothing. Horrendous service.

  • dixonrussell Russell Dixon (@dixonrussell) reported

    @virginmedia I'm fairly confident I'd not have an issue installing one myself. Can I not purchase the appropriate length? Your sales-rep on the phone asked if we need a longer cable but it was rushed and we didn't know...if a longer cable was offered, can we not just have that???
