    @virginmedia No its ok.... ill get a proper company to take the contract over and cancel you. @BBCWatchdog are surely interesting in your customer service as I have screen shots.

    Two contrasting phone calls to @virginmedia CS this morning. Really unhelpful 1st guy / rude. Rang directly back and the differner guy was absolutely amazing. Mathew was his name and he needs a praise. 1st guy really needs a lesson in customer service. Thank you Mathew.

    @virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

  • onearmedjohn
    Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had two lengthy phone calls with your ‘technical support’ people; it briefly got quicker then stopped working completely. On their instructions I’ve changed some settings on my router which apparently may take 48 hours to fully take effect…

    James Young (@jamesrfyoung) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia your internet has been rubbish recently with varying speeds as low as 5mb 1 minute then 95mb the next! Now it’s gone down completely! On top of not being able to speak with anyone I don’t feel that your service is worth it! #rubbishservice

    @virginmedia time now 11:14pm and certain channels still aren’t working, things said they have recorded when they haven’t, search function also still not working code c133. I think a refund is due to a lot of customers 👎🏻👎🏻#virginmediadown

    @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

    @virginmedia @nickgooner80 I wanna know why my broadband has been all day! I do not want to be paying for a service I cannot use!!!!!! 🤬🤬 I have a bored 6 year old. SORT IT OUT!!! And I can’t check my service status as I can’t access the internet even on my 4G or the virgin media app.

    @Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

    @virginmedia has the shittest broadband and customer service in the world!!!

    @virginmedia @virginmedia I've been having issues with internet dropping out continuosly for a couple of months, you sent another WiFi pod still the problem is there! The hub 3 status network connection has warnings and is critical, losing sync! I have been spin around in circles

    @virginmedia No, I want the postal address for service of a county court summons.

    @virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

    Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8k_IPTV_PRO6 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies

  • Laitty
    Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reported

    @virginmedia I'm therefore trying to understand whether there are any additional checks or blocking options available at Virgin Media's end, as I have already exhausted the options available to me as a customer.

    @virginmedia Updates please? Still not working? Not been able to watch majority of this event at all! Very unhappy with service!

  • Jakki_113
    ⭐️Jackie⭐️ (@Jakki_113) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv Virgin Media has the worst customer service,they can't spell properly when putting your details onto their computers so your password or email address is never recognised.

  • Hodge_Cast
    The Hodge-Cast Podcast (@Hodge_Cast) reported

    @DAZNBoxing I can safely say, I will never be purchasing a PPV from your service again. Nearly 15mins of a blank screen for a PPV - I realise technical issues happen and it’s live, but to make no attempt to to fix this problem in a timely manor is a farce. @virginmedia I’ll be cancelling my subscription with yourself also, if I don’t receive a refund. Unacceptable!

  • 2WB10
    2WB (@2WB10) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia You’ll come to regret it. They’re great when joining and setting up but if you have a problem be prepared for a lot of frustration and time wasting. They’re absolutely horrendous for customer service. I was lied to, transfered to dead lines, put on hold without coming back etc.

    HitmenAndHustlers (@HitmenHustlers) reported

    @virginmedia There are outages, and if there were, every day outages would be unacceptable, it wouldn't be an issue of i didnt rely on a steady and stable signal to do my job.

  • Lyndzii
    Lyndzi Hamilton (@Lyndzii) reported

    @virginmedia requested delivery date and new contract start date to be 28th July. You’ve now sent a text and told my internet provider that I want to start it on 29th June which will incur me a fee. Can you fix this please?

  • GCpalms
    Gary Palmer (@GCpalms) reported

    @virginmedia You have the worst customer care ive ever dealt with. Absolute shambles. Ive spoken to 4 people now to cancel my already expired contract and none of them can do it, and seems youve put me onto another contract over double what my last one was. Awful company.
