  • lePhantomPlume le Phantom Plume (@lePhantomPlume) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia It’s ok thanks, one of your team rang me, was extremely rude then hung up.

  • Stephen12857059 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

  • Andyfoodie Andrew Markou (@Andyfoodie) reported from Tamworth District, England

    Hi @virginmedia I live in the B77 4LD area and we use you as our Broadband providers. Has the network gone down and if so approximately when will it get fixed and be back up and running?

  • redron1975 Ronnie Harris (@redron1975) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia Right then fools. How many times do I need to contact you to tell you how bad our internet is? I am so fed up with this service and wouldn't recommend you to my worst enemy. I cant wait to get service from someone reliable. Clowns

  • BrianMCape Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia No. Already done it about 7 times without any luck. I refuse to waste more hours in queues, only to rehash my issues to another anonymous operator. I've been assured that this is in the hands of a named handler, who didn't call me back as promised and is ignoring my emails. Fail

  • kevmaslin Kev Maslin (@kevmaslin) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia your treatment of us over a Lasting Power of Attorney issue has been appalling. Your people have actually SHREDDED a document costing hundreds of pounds despite us being told it had been returned. CISAS has been invoked and your CEO will be told . @MoneyTelegraph

  • BrianMCape Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Quite possibly the worst onboarding and customer 'care' experience I've EVER had @virginmedia Unfulfilled promises, failure to deliver contract as agreed and now I'm 'lost' in the system and being ignored. I'm left with no choice other than to 'out' you. #CaveatEmptor

  • KittykatClaire Claire B🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    I'm so pissed off @virginmedia blackmailed me into signing my mobile contract with @O2 by saying my media account would be cheaper. If I stayed with virgin it would be amount more. So I had no option but to go with o2 and No my mobile Internet is crap. I can't use my doorbell

  • KittykatClaire Claire B🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    @virginmedia I guess it's not your. Problem. After pushing me into a contract with them. I've been in touch with them and there nothing they can do they just want me. To turn my mobile on and off again

  • BrianMCape Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia And this is why, I'll be reporting you to trading standards for fraudulent misselling/misrepresentation and then abdicating ALL responsibility/accountability to resolve. There's no security/DPA issues in you giving me a direct dial number via DM. You just don't want to resolve.

  • BrianMCape Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Another fail. I've reached out in exasperation since my chase-ups of 14th, 19th and today have been ignored. As have my 5 messages to your local rep who promised to be on hand. If you can't be bothered to help me, I'll just escalate via another route @richardbranson

  • tr0y1291 Troy (@tr0y1291) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia the most unreliable service going! Sky should be rubbing their hands together knowing that this shower of **** is their main competition.

  • mrmjprice Martin Price (@mrmjprice) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I have been but they couldn’t get a good-enough price and directed me to the self-service page but I get “customer-exclusion” at the end of the URL which tells me to use chat.

  • BrianMCape Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Another fail. Well done 👏🏻

  • BrianMCape Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Just to let you know, I've taken the time to write out another complaint via the link. I've submitted and it says 'nothing to see here'. The link says response within 7 days, and the submission says 28 days, and then my portal says I haven't raised a complaint. ANOTHER FAIL

  • kevmaslin Kev Maslin (@kevmaslin) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia The ideal resolution would have been for VM to return the document as originally promised. We have dealt with other companies in this regard and all have been prompt and professional. Even the DWP accepted a photocopy of the POA. Why VM couldn't is entirely beyond me.

  • BrianMCape Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Alternatively, if you feel the urge to actually be helpful, you can search my name and location (it's an uncommon name) and ask a complaints manager to contact me. No security issues or breaches, since the notes I've been assured are on file, will be there to check.

  • Stephen12857059 Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I called 150 today to speak to a Supervisor regarding my bill. I was told I would receive a call within the hour. NOTHING. I agreed a contract 18/8/22 and the last two payments have been £65 & £75 more than agreed. This is shocking customer care and service.

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Just called your offshore call centre regarding my internet connection. I’m having the same issues as I had when I got a £154 credit from you. /1

  • JeSuisTC Tiernan Coyle ☘️ (@JeSuisTC) reported

    @virginmedia third afternoon in a row internet keeps cutting in and out. Your website denies any outage or maintenance work in area but full internet service is always restored after 5pm. Before you ask I have switched it on and off again. Can you clarify please.

  • Daveygravy84 David Thompson (@Daveygravy84) reported

    @virginmedia how is it I can have multiple TV boxes but I can't get a Ethernet connection directly to a room, (but I can with TV) in the house as the WiFi signal can't handle gaming and music streaming in one go. All I want is a Lan connection from outside to a room

  • StevejMchugh Steve McHugh (@StevejMchugh) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve already checked, apparently it won’t be fixed before 1800. Tv down too.

  • jjh jjh (@jjh) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia If you provide a standard email address that accepts attachments I am willing to provide a copy of my complaint and evidence directly to @virginmedia and delay filing for a short period of time if you wish to try and resolve this directly.

  • Lulu_Pine Lulu Pine (@Lulu_Pine) reported

    @virginmedia Yes - that also says there are no service issues but there clearly are - i know at least 4 affected households in my immediate area that are affected

  • simonnewby Simon Newby (@simonnewby) reported

    @virginmedia it is already a complaint and no, i'm not phoning any more, you clearly have never tried to call virgin media

  • simonnewby Simon Newby (@simonnewby) reported

    @virginmedia oh, and so far, not one person has contacted me about my complaint. by phone, email or letter. not one of you has bothered to contact me, every interaction has been initiated by me.

  • Maxine40Wright Maxine40Wright (@Maxine40Wright) reported

    @virginmedia Should I have to re-order after ordering over the phone? Is this normal practice? I've tried reaching out so many times and now this! It's been horrible you know!

  • GabrielVanca Gabriel Vanca (@GabrielVanca) reported

    @J3Lyon Virgin Media. (because there is no real alternative in my area so I was never really given the choice to try anything else).

  • Rosssurplice Ross Surplice (@Rosssurplice) reported

    @virginmedia Any chance that when I call you next time because my broadband isn’t working, you might give the option to speak with an agent as opposed to running some checks and then hanging up without resolution??? #poorcustomerservice
