    @virginmedia I really don’t think you can. Please provide me with an email address for the complaints department. I will write a full and detailed email and if no resolution I will forward my complaint to Ofcom.

  • GarYoung Gary Young (@GarYoung) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I will@go@to ofcom and I will chaffe you for my hourly rate for any time expenses on this disgraceful approach to customer experience when I’ve been a loyal@customer for 15 years

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

    @virginmedia Yeah & someone promised to call back last week & they never. We’ve had no broadband since yesterday & it keeps acting up

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia It would help if you read the thread and the attached screenshot. I did email with specific requests under gdpr. That was forwarded within VM and I got a generic dismissive reply which didn't even acknowledge the queries. Further eroding trust in VM

  • lukejameson17 luke jameson (@lukejameson17) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia honestly get a ******* grip@of your WiFi man ******* joke if my tv has a known problem in my area. Why ******** Is my WiFi ******* down then *****

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

    More issues with our broadband again today @virginmedia I don’t think we’ve had a full day off broadband for months 🤬 #timetocancel #wasteofmoney

  • mrspag47 Elizabeth Pearson (@mrspag47) reported from Stanley, England

    @BT_Openreach can I ask why a 0161 number rings me every day (foreign accent) states he's open reach when apparently this is virgin media!! I hang up

  • 1lynzi1 lynzi owens (@1lynzi1) reported from South Shields, England

    Not sure who I spoke to @virginmedia but gota say she was really helpful. Top customer service 👍

  • Ne31phil Phil Robinson (@Ne31phil) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia disabled relatives who are without a phone for the second time ina month.they have a nurse call system that needs working phone line. No engineer until tomorrow. raised a complaint told some one will call non working phone. If no response complaint closed.

  • wal_tastic Christopher Walton (@wal_tastic) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia right how do I going about getting a new router, I've had mine for about 4ys and it keep on dropping signal from phones!!

  • stephwales_ S t e p h . ♡ (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Great what deals you can get when you ring to cancel your contract 👍 @virginmedia a very helpful Hayley in your call centre. Paying less now for more than double what I had before.

  • leewhttngtn Lee Whittington (@leewhttngtn) reported from Hebburn, England

    Never felt so left down by @virginmedia after years of being a loyal customer my bill has increased by £20pm for no extra services when I rang to cancel I was offered £1 discount! To say I was insulted is an understatement, shocking service loyalty counts for nothing!!! Cancelled

  • julieclayevents Julie Clay (@julieclayevents) reported from Shiremoor, England

    Don’t forget to cancel your @virginmedia @skytv package!!!! #nofootball 😢

  • TyneTom 𝚃𝚘𝚖 𝙱𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚢 (@TyneTom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @gazza_d @jo2gard @virginmedia They are awful, but the broadband is fast, trick is to never try to communicate with them.

  • lukejameson17 luke jameson (@lukejameson17) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia don’t give a **** what time of year it is but to reset my ******* WiFi 4 bastard times today is a ******* joke, absolute ******* usless ***** man

  • hilly_1986 Iain Hill (@hilly_1986) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Say no known issues. Wired is fine but WiFi all over the house is shocking! Tried moving the hub but can only go so far as it’s restricted by the wires.

  • edginggodout Darren Leigh Arkless (@edginggodout) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @_simonlambert @GECFrost you said it about virgin media. Maybe it’s just me (King in waiting) but when I speak to customer services a “firm” stooge e.g nice but dim wills intercepts the calls to attempt to mentally turn me over. They are sinister AF. Now I’m locked out of iPlayer

  • barbarafoggo Barbara Foggo (@barbarafoggo) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Wow @virginmedia amazingly poor customer services on many levels. Not your best moment @richardbranson

  • GarYoung Gary Young (@GarYoung) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia just the most horrific service ever from you. Your agent agreed a discount due to poor service and to stop me leaving. It now transpires the discount is at the expense of skysportsHD which we did not agree. I’m now having to take it to ofcom because no one can help

  • M_RashidAmin Mohammed Rashid Amin (@M_RashidAmin) reported from South Shields, England

    @vmbusiness I’ve send a direct message. Im absolutely angry and annoyed by the situation today. Worst customer service experience.

  • EwanF6 Ewan F (@EwanF6) reported

    @virginmedia for the second time this week, I have spent 3 hours of my day trying to call you to speak to the technical faults team. I am put hold each call for min 45 minutes after which point the line cuts out and no one phones me back. This is absolutely disgraceful service.

  • kirkycando MARK KIRK (@kirkycando) reported

    @virginmedia The poor internet service that you keep charging your customers and fail to provide . My daughter is doing remote learning from college yet your service keeps cutting out ,I have been told that we can sue your company for her loss of potential future earnings .

  • valiant_dave Dave Banks (@valiant_dave) reported

    @PhilJBowers @virginmedia Good luck ! Their Customer Services is atrocious - so difficult to get through.

  • harri_bhafc Harri (@harri_bhafc) reported

    @virginmedia I just dont think its particularly nice for a company like yours to outright refuse to find a solution to an elderly woman being scammed. I explained the situation, only to be told that it's all chargeable and needs to be paid... the week before Christmas.

  • WajaTheHAT LIVE 🔴 Waja (@WajaTheHAT) reported

    Yo @virginmedia fix up I beg you have been the worst provider I have been with. It's such a joke.

  • TelfordMad Butty (@TelfordMad) reported

    @virginhelp @virginmedia Have been waiting over two months for a complaint to be dealt with and whilst this is going on still not had the item i was told was being dispatched. Have tried to call, but seriously that process is riddled with delays 😳

  • amylou202 AMY (@amylou202) reported

    @virginmedia hi, my internet has been down all day. Can I have some help pls?

  • mikeplowman1961 Mike Plowman (@mikeplowman1961) reported

    @virginmedia negotiated new contract with tv added in Nov, sales person assured me no activation fee, of course, 35 quid activation on the first bill. Phone support, say they have to conduct an investigation. Meanwhile, I'm 35 quid out of pocket this month.

  • k19jok john kerr (@k19jok) reported

    @virginmedia When you log on to the forum it tells you to do certain things reset, diagnostic etc, I have done them all the service keeps dropping

  • sci_twit 👁SCI👁 (@sci_twit) reported

    @virginmedia Sadly I have been down all those paths already. I have talked through the problem with a support technician completing tests and the engineer resetting the Hub remotely. That did not work and I was promised a site visit.
