    Why is it every companies customer service line is so crap and does not want to help in any way shape or form #curryspcworld #virginmedia @BBCWatchdog

    Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.

    @virginmedia No landline for 9 days following a house move, incorrect bills, and poor customer service being cut off many times

    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…

    HeyYouItsCorrie (They/Them) (@HeyYouItsCorrie) reported from Rochester, England

    @suziqvk @virginmedia BT, without a doubt. Virgim media is absolutely useless, bad internet, bad coverage, bad service

  • JamieMeecham
    Jamie Meecham🏳️‍🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia care to explain why a member of staff felt that hanging up on a customer complaining about their broadband is acceptable? And now I’m stuck on hold AGAIN to solve my issue.

    @virginmedia Sort it out Virgin IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!! Can’t even log on to get service updates 😡😡😡

  • yiddo71
    Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia No as normal Virgin customer service go quiet until I am forced to ring them again and as for the bill no additional charges you just seem to have doubled the bill

  • yiddo71
    Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @BBCWatchdog can you help @virginmedia make it impossible to complain or resolve any issues the ultimate poor customer service!!

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

    @virginmedia No and there’s no point. You’ve had two years to fix this. I’m not paying any more and you can sue me. See you in court.

  • Just_Daz_Young
    Darren Young 📺 (@Just_Daz_Young) reported from Gillingham, England

    @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.

  • owensirons93
    Andrew Owen (@owensirons93) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia any reason why you still haven’t fixed our phone lines? Been down for 3 months now so I’ll be expecting a reimbursement. Also expect a reimbursement due to the fact your failing to supply the minimum download speed

  • SUEG46
    Sue Groves MBE (@SUEG46) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia we seem to have WiFi still but our sky box has lost connection.. is this related to the issues you have?

  • Lisa2672
    Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England

    @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 what’s happened to your customer services? I have stayed with you for years now need your help, can’t log into my account need your help and holding forever on the phone ....

  • GoonerGrizzly
    grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking

  • emilymorgan_x

    Can someone pls explain to me why @virginmedia wifi is so shockingly ****

  • paulparker81

    @virginmedia experiencing the worst customer service I have ever had. Been a customer for 10+ years but not after today @SkyUK will be gaining another customer instead

    @38086fd7be4a4e2 So I understand. It'll be interesting to see if they keep that up for the tournament. BTW, do you know if ITV do the dog much with ads? Virgin Media are savage for ads just before rugby games, for instane, and at half time. RTE are bad too, but not as bad. How are ITV?

    @gblondon1 @skytv Wait till the new customer vibes runs out and they treat you the way sky did. Increase in bills and decrease in customer service. Isn't this right @virginmedia

  • NSReicher
    Nicholas Reicher (@NSReicher) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia We had the same problem with Verizon. We told them my father in law didn't abandon his service-he died. And we were positive if given a choice, he'd have preferred to continue using their service. Verizon canceled.

    @virginmedia what is going on in Leicester LE2 to not have any service? done every troubleshooting step and my router comes back on my phone just says connected without internet nothing is working! One minute the service status is fine the next it says intermittent signal fix it!

  • Jake_Mez
    Jake (@Jake_Mez) reported

    @virginmedia @gblondon1 Oh yeah until you’ve been a customer for years and then get charged way more than new customers for the same deal so you either have to threaten to leave to get offered a good deal, or leave and rejoin 🫣

  • jimjam1234567
    Qwerty (@jimjam1234567) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv Asked Virgin Media what options do I have for having their TV service in different parts of the house without running cables through my home...they offered me a firestick!

  • GaddTrevor
    Trevor Gadd (@GaddTrevor) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia Wish we had virgin in my area. Sky extortionate fees now, love sports, multi room and boys watch at uni so not really much choice. I believe their Sat contract runs out in a few years so will lose some of the service I currently get so will def leave then

  • 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.
