    @virginmedia Visit was fine replaced wifi. I was never out of Internet completely like it says only your compensation page, but it was equally as bad since my step daughter had online training to do which couldn't be done at all. My children also were not able to do homework.

    @Sarahlw_95 @virginmedia Sarah I wouldn’t bother with WhatsApp, I’ve been speaking to various people for over a month on there trying to sort my incorrect bill. They just tell you it’s resolved when it isn’t. Scandalous service.

    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia are an absolute joke. Was told to call back at half 6 and guess what? They’re shut! And again, no engineer visit. Getting cancelled 1st thing in the morning. Over a month of total loss of service, piss take. #avoid

    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @VirginMedia Received message. Now not accepting my email address. I have one only. My problem is with the remote control which is activated by pressing 2 buttons when they light up. Have had nothing but trouble with one remote for one TV. Your communication us not helpful.

  • tomrushton88
    Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia Or put me through to a manager or try to be remotely helpful in keeping me as a customer, im trying to sign an 18 month contract to give you money every month which I could just give to someone else I will not let this lie till i have my money back!

  • ChrisWAzure
    Chris Wright (@ChrisWAzure) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia The guy was the most arrogant person I've ever spoke to in CS, retentions is meant to be the end of the line, if it was my service and not my wife's 93 year old nan i'd have cancelled the contract. I asked to speak to a manager and was told "managers don't speak to customers"....

  • AndyMcK1982
    Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp We have just signed up for a broadband/phone package. We were recommended by a friend. They never gave us a code though as they are a pensioner. We were told to simply give her details in but the operative would not accept. Can we still get a code after?

  • colette2511
    Colette Ellison (@colette2511) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia No not going through it it’s too long and I don’t have time. Just wanted to everyone know that vm is a bad company and are robbing gets. Trading standards have been told and I’m 💯 % sure that there’s thousands of people doing the same

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I reported a total loss of service on 31/8. It was finally fixed this morning. After no shows, lies and weeks between visits. They have not even offered to cover the cost of my last 3 dd’s which I wish I hadn’t paid as I had no service whatsoever

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @les_murray71 @virginmedia Still saying 12.05 on the app Lesley .... have they put that new estimated fix time out elsewhere? 😱

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.

  • TheWho87
    TheWho87 (@TheWho87) reported

    @virginmedia Why? The fact that the internet was working with a VPN meant it wasn't an issue on my end, it was an issue on your end, plus it's working now, so you seem to have fixed the issue already.

  • harryvek
    Horatio Bullwinkle (@harryvek) reported

    @virginmedia Why do your customer services call me every day when I've told them I'm not interested in taking any more services than I already have. Just today I took a call and told them to stop calling me, no one answered on the other side and then just hung up, how rude !!!.

  • Merse2506
    John Mercer (@Merse2506) reported

    Live sport bet you bottom dollar Virgin Media box is buffering. What a load of bollocks VM really is. Quick to take your money but **** service @virginmedia

  • Edeaulx
    Adrian Weale (@Edeaulx) reported

    It's becoming increasingly clear that @VirginMedia customer service is based on the premise that if you make it excruciatingly difficult to make a complaint and then follow it up, people will simply not bother.

  • sephiroth17181
    Seph (@sephiroth17181) reported

    @RevQntmBigfoot @virginmedia i would buy my own router but networking isnt my strongsuit when it comes to tech, all i know is anything is better than the pile of crap virgin supply "their latest and best router" has only 1 2.5gbe port and pisspoor wifi hence why they try pressure you into wifi boosters

  • AlanRob68902430
    Alan Roberts (@AlanRob68902430) reported

    @virginmedia You don't need a contact number you can clearly see my name my postcode is Nosey number 4koff and yes I WAS the account holder 9:23 AM 9:23 AM What I posted on x was A LEGAL NOTICE because you constantly marked my credit file after 30+ years as a customer, I gave you 30 days notice and you billed me for 2 months, also you conned me into believing I got a cheaper tariff if I took out an o2 simcard, then you told me o2 was nothing to do with you and I would have to contact o2, since the day the contract was taken out I HAVE NEVER used the simcard an I'm in the process of issuing a claim against virgin media to recover all the money taken from my account from o2 I have emailed the ombudsman over this. 9:31 AM 9:31 AM Oh how nice as I'm talking to you I get a threatening text you will apply charges if I don't return your crap as per terms and conditions, how about I charge you £7.50 per week for the space you rented from me ?, this conversation will be posted in its entirety

  • TheRealTomPoole
    Tom Poole 🇬🇧✳️ (@TheRealTomPoole) reported

    @virginmedia - we're trying to cancel your services since the bill has gone up over £80pm. How do I do this, we need to speak to someone in cancellations but I can only get through to sales?

  • MrEldricardo
    skif’s (@MrEldricardo) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt No. Bad idea. We had it. Went from £35 to £65 in 24 months.

    @virginmedia thank you for offering help via a DM, but you have sent me quite a lot of the exact same messages now - only one was needed. I have already told you that one of your engineers is coming out tomorrow to check everything is okay and get everything working properly. At this point I will only need to contact you if the engineers visit isn’t successful.

  • na_croi
    Croí Na hÉireann (@na_croi) reported

    @daphmc_ @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia Not rattled at all. Any game v The ABs was always at the very best for Ireland a 50/50 game. We could have won that game after being 14-0 down but just left ourselves too much to do after a slow start. Disappointed but not rattled.
