TheBosz (@kolapoagunbiade) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Unfortunately, you dont have a ticketing system or cobtact email to track issues, rather a phone system that requires you to wait forever to get through to an agent. A/c number: 095063606. I was charged x2.5 of what i was tp pay.

MJP - mastodonapp.uk/@mrmjprice (@mrmjprice) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.
-
Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM

Kiel (@k1El_w) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia @YodelOnline your ability to deliver equipment is shocking!!! The customer service you provide is even worse!!!

-

-
Neil Simpson (@nippa77) reported from Swindon, England@virginmedia why is it that your service is up and down more than a yo-yo? It’s getting ridiculous now!!!
-

Edward Hamilton (@epwhamilton) reported@virginmedia I was specifically told yesterday that there is a problem in the area and to expect it fixed by 5.08. I still have no internet, and the outage is still not acknowledged on the website so I can't check on progress. Oh, and you're not responding to my DMs 😡
-
Charmaine Rome (@eightieschick72) reported@virginmedia @epwhamilton @virginmedia Same issue here. Took 1 hour on the phone to Virgin to be told there’s an outage. No comment about it on your website. And no idea when it’s being fixed. Moved from BT 3 weeks ago for more reliable internet. Not impressed at all.
-
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

-
Mark (@MarkAmiga) reported@gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia No company seems to Reward Long Term Customers, its all "New Customer Deals" and forget those who have kept the company going, Both Sky/VM are the same in such respect Just have Roku Stick with Projector now, only sub to Amazon Prime now really, Got rid of Live TV years back
