  • claighton89 Claigh Young (@claighton89) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Each month I've had to make subsequent phone calls to have you rectify the bill. I called 2 or 3 times before this bill came out and was assured that it would not happen again. And as expected it has. Absolutely disgusting service!

    @virginmedia We are TOO BUSY to take your call,maybe ill be TOO BUSY to pay the BILL,absolutely useless pathetic service 😡

  • claighton89 Claigh Young (@claighton89) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Media Services. We were offered a deal back in July which was all sports, movies and kids channels for around £111. Since then we have had our wifi and box and each time I call about one of these issues you clear the deal from our account. This month billing us £215!!!

  • LeePatmore Lee Patmore (@LeePatmore) reported from Basildon, England

    It’s a shame @Virgin only look after new customers & punish old customers. One less customer because of New Cystomer deals not available to look after current ones #ShameOnYou #Virgin #Virginmedia

  • alancollinspdb Alan Collins Rosell 🔶️🎗 (@alancollinspdb) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Your customer service is a joke! I've been on the phone over an hour and spoken to 9 different people to be lied to and told the engineer tried knocking and calling my mobile this morning (I've been home all morning but had no one at the door and no missed calls).

  • buckers43 Andrew Buxton (@buckers43) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia I've been a customer with you for 21 years and your customer service is not great, I'm paying through the roof for my package, the wifi is crap sometimes, your team has offered to take my bill down £20, but when I mentioned about replacing my hub, that will cost £35

  • shannonispeng S H A N (@shannonispeng) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia are trying to say I owe them 2 months of bills even though I can see on my bank statement I paid last months bill. Can someone please advise me as I just sat on hold for 30 minutes only for the rude inept **** to hang up on me after placing me on hold. #fuming

  • therealims Len (@therealims) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia @SkyUK make me an offer. Your service has to be better than this

  • alancollinspdb Alan Collins Rosell 🔶️🎗 (@alancollinspdb) reported from Gillingham, England

    It's 11:45. Having been awake until about 6 or so this morning for the election count, my alarm was set for 8 so I could be up in time for the @virginmedia engineer to fix my broadband. They'd be here between 8 and 12 they said. Clock's ticking...

  • hilarymillingt hilary (@hilarymillingt) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia fix your stupid Internet please I keep having outages and haven't been able to do anything all evening

  • ItsSarahLayton Sarah Layton (@ItsSarahLayton) reported

    @ABZ_Designs @virginmedia Terrible. Was thinking to join but won’t be after hearing about that!

  • alynmitchell Alyn mitchell (@alynmitchell) reported

    @virginmedia With gas food prices rising I’ve decided to go elsewhere I be phoning up tomorrow to formally cancel all services

  • Kraze_95 Raz (@Kraze_95) reported

    @virginmedia I was able to go through but can you clarify this question. If you're moving homes, do you NEED to change your line to your new address first in order to cancel? 2 of your colleagues mentioned this needs to be done first? this seems far fetched.

  • marcobon13 the Stroller (@marcobon13) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. The tech was on his day off…. They raised a complaint and I was told I’d receive a call before 8pm. I have no broadband. I stayed in all day. I pay £55 a month

  • gemkerr81 gemma kerr (@gemkerr81) reported

    @virginmedia hi cant access apps on tv according to you there are no problems in my area

  • HaroonC7 Haroon Chaudhry (@HaroonC7) reported

    @virginmedia It’s not letting me make a complaint. It’s simply asking me to troubleshoot the issue which I have done several times. It’s round and round the circle with this right now 🙄

  • mclynskey72 Jason Mac (@mclynskey72) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried this several times but can’t get them to understand what it is I need that is why I said customer support is rubbish

  • AlbertT72487168 Albert Taylor (@AlbertT72487168) reported

    @virginmedia Have no faith in your complaint s process. Will be using this transcript as proof along with my many attempts to close my account if any action is taken when I cancel my direct debit.

  • marcobon13 the Stroller (@marcobon13) reported

    @virginmedia Look. I have been through this. Your team have confirmed the fault. If you want to help me you can get a tech here at 8am tomorrow… I HAVE NO BROADBAND AND I PAY £55 for that pleasure
