  • 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

  • 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...

  • TicTac1985 Suzanne D Edwards (@TicTac1985) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia this awful service is part of the reason I'm leaving. Over an hour of trying to get told lines are busy, no queue or anything just call back later

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

    @virginmedia have the absolute worst customer service going! Have once again made a **** up with our bill, even after speaking to (and being lied to by) 3 different people on the phone! Absolute joke of a company!!!

  • 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!!!

  • roxcreeve Roxc Reeve (@roxcreeve) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

  • _SimonChapman Simon Chapman (@_SimonChapman) reported from Rochester, England

    @RenaCrossley @virginmedia Nope! They are absolutely useless. By far one of the worst customer services you will ever find

  • 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).

  • john22_1 john (@john22_1) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @simonrim @virginmedia Yes have virginmedia great when working but there call centre the worst in the world hate ringing it

  • 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 No your company are well & truly dumped. Between you & vodafone we now have no broadband your both as bad as one another

  • Ms4Cats Anne Scholes (@Ms4Cats) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin now sent me an email saying it’s been fixed when it hasn’t. They filled a complaint in and then closed the complaint!!!!!!

  • SICrecords Misterlaurie is building a new set of characters. (@SICrecords) reported

    @virginmedia No, I'm good. We're subconsciously uncoupled now, I think. But this offer of help slots nicely in at the end of this Tenet type story.

  • itchyteeth1 itchyteeth (@itchyteeth1) reported

    @virginmedia I've got to admit your customer service is shocking

  • MahaRafiAtal Dr Maha (@MahaRafiAtal) reported

    @virginmedia That would be the team that has provided me with false information on more than one occasion, and, as I have already said, the person they assigned to the case has said they will no longer work on it/can't help. Is there no way to escalate above them?

  • Niklasvz2 Niklas Bot (@Niklasvz2) reported

    @CARNDARAK @vmbusiness Mine is really bad too. I live in Germany, and I've had random 5 sec lag spikes and, in general, a very unstable ping, for YEARS now. Its a miracle I managed to reach 90 in gauntlets 2 times since heist. But @1und1 wont do anything other than "thats the best we can do here"

  • campers_moll Lindsey 🇬🇧 Defend Free Speech🇬🇧 (@campers_moll) reported

    @virginmedia You provide her BB and yes she’s spoken to them. It was a bit frustrating as they won’t do anything till they’ve resolved the Dover issue.
