    The worst part about being an adult is having to do things like talk to the brain dead people behind virgin media

  • BevFrankland Bev Frankland (@BevFrankland) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Just send me the new box that You insist I need so that I can get the service I'm paying for

  • BevFrankland Bev Frankland (@BevFrankland) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia That's all well and good but you have insisted we update our box or it will not work, your website link is not working, text service and chat not responding and your telephone advisor insists I buy a new service whilst your letter states its free! Not paying more for less!!

  • Darylx Daryl (@Darylx) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Can you please help me. I've rang twice to upgrade my TiVo box free upgrade. Tried online can't do it. First time cut off. Web chat I tried was told I had to phone.40 mins in second time lady was having system issues so transferred me and guess what I was cut off

  • CazzaW CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Cancelled @virginmedia Starplayz subscription as they have no channel number and no app to search for programmes! Crazy and call centre staff don’t understand why this is a problem. Don’t waste £5 a month.

  • ian_safc_1974 Ian (@ian_safc_1974) reported from Dunston, England

    @lisadunn1978 @virginmedia They sound awful. Is broadband itself any better

  • fredspoon pipkins (@fredspoon) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @DMcCSE17 @virginmedia All phone signal in London is terrible including public Wi-fi. I love when I come back to north east for a decent signal and decent Wi-fi speed :)

  • ThomasMcGowan1 Thomas McGowan (@ThomasMcGowan1) reported from Gateshead, England

    right shower of shite the customer service from @virginmedia paying for monthly for nothing 😡🤬

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

    @virginmedia Media. I ditched the TV part of the bundle years ago, but am still currently paying £50.99 p/m for 150mb broadband and a phone we never use. Come September, when you increase it by another £3.50 it’ll have gone from £37 in Dec 16 to £54.49 - A ridiculous 47% INCREASE......

  • BevFrankland Bev Frankland (@BevFrankland) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia you write stating have to upgrade to free tivo box & I must contact you 2 arrange. Web site doesn't work, no answer online chat, no answer on text and phone advisor tries to sell me an upgrade. Then email advising price rise in inbox. - total joke!!!

  • rl_chris_higham Chris Higham (@rl_chris_higham) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia £20 a month 'existing customer' penalty on the best you can offer me Vs the best new customer deal is just too much, afraid that's a cancellation from a 10 years loyal customer. £240 is a lot of money!

  • Stickings90 Graeme Stickings (@Stickings90) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I have received from you an incomplete text message regarding changes to Virgin Media Project and Mobile Rescue Tech support, as from 31 August, but does not say what. What are these changes

  • TheHamfather Andrew Weatherhead (@TheHamfather) reported from Blyth, England

    @Kasiohead_ @virginmedia I have no advice for you but I would like to add my voice to the fact they are utterly terrible.

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

    @virginmedia It’s difficult to articulate in a tweet but speaking to someone in an offshore contact centre who has a very poor grasp of English is extremely frustrating. There is no malice in this, it’s just a statement of fact, I couldn’t make myself understood, it took 4 calls and 75 mins.

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

    @RevDubbleD @virginmedia Absolutely appalling service today. The attitude of the people I dealt with was staggering for a customer centric organisation.

  • TheToon1892 ⓃⓊⒻⒸ ①⑧⑨② (@TheToon1892) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia @VasBlackwood It could be your staff need training in how to offer professional customer service.... Most haven't got a clue

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

    @danielpwood1 @virginmedia I don’t have a regional accent so am normally easily understood, I’m also very patient, enjoy speaking to the Indian guys about cricket, but tonight it was unprofessional and my near thirty years service to VM in all it’s guises rendered irrelevant

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

    @virginmedia There seems to be a network problem. The box had a green light flashing. Our phones & iPads are connect but the sky boxes don’t seem to be. Can I DM you please

  • Janthebestmam Janice (@Janthebestmam) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia its for my broad band service

  • Stickings90 Graeme Stickings (@Stickings90) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia what was my TiVo box meant to be updating. I woke in the night to find it on and the screen saying it was updating software, don't switch off. I rang 151 to find out, but the automatic system said there was an issue and sent a restart pulse 1/2

  • pabloesc2021 Pablo (@pabloesc2021) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve just ordered internet from @skytv now. I will be calling to cancel my package soon

  • witchyisbak Dude I found witchy💚🤍💜 🟥 (@witchyisbak) reported

    @virginmedia Actually it appears the problem I contacted u about hasn't fully resolved. Intermittent service on both tivo and broadband. I darent ring customer services again. And I'm still waiting for the technician to ring ur call handler promised

  • xGrumpyWolfx Grumpy Wolf (@xGrumpyWolfx) reported

    @virginmedia Fix your ******* internet pls m8 xx

  • David_W11 David (@David_W11) reported

    @virginmedia Plus they said the online deals are not open to us as existing customers. Pretty poor experience compared to Sky who we previously used. Currently wish we had just cancelled our contract at the end rather than transferring to a new property.

  • Yippers Amy (@Yippers) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Email to say it was resolved by offer of an apology which I never accepted so I called customer services who offered the credit of overpayment onto my account which I’m still waiting for.

  • ReiDoMUFC Juan United (@ReiDoMUFC) reported

    Switched to data whilst at home just to tweet @virginmedia, you are shite 👍 (And not there is nothing you can do to help, pls don't @ me, I'm already angry)

  • banterdan Harry (@banterdan) reported

    @virginmedia I half expect a weaker signal upstairs in the far bedroom but not in the next room from the hub. Anyways this booster will do me for now seems to give me a stable strong signal in the kitchen. When working now

  • Hollib0bz H (@Hollib0bz) reported

    @virginmedia Yes we did and it said everything was fine and no known issues. Two days running now this has happened.

  • the_ex_tuft James Doherty (@the_ex_tuft) reported

    @virginmedia You are an absolute joke to deal with. Finally got through to an actual person, booked an engineer for Saturday, YOU then offered to bring it forward, I said yes, changed all my plans, then at 8pm the night before you change it back to the original slot. This how you treat ppl?😡
