  • malcolmwhittak2 Malcolm Whittaker (@malcolmwhittak2) reported from Birmingham, England

    @jwhitt1970 @virginmedia @TomMockridgeVM Hi Joe Virgin Media and Mr Mockridge think about money in the bank, Customer service isn't on the agenda, it feels like authorised theft as all the time and effort on the phone is time lost with no evidence relating to performance. #CustomerService

  • Kimbohud 🇬🇧Kimbo🇬🇧 (@Kimbohud) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I have received a further two or three calls, following the request to remove one of the V boxes to save me some money, offering me different packages as a ‘loyal’ customer which would be costing me more! #youcouldntmakeitup 🙄

  • thephdrunner Dr Emma Neachell (@thephdrunner) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia B744LG my neighbour is also having issues. Internet keeps dropping out so there’s clearly some sort of intermittent fault. I’ve wasted 45 mins on the phone trying to report it.

  • licklemouse Stuart Cockerill (@licklemouse) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just wasted a whole hour sat on the phone with someone who had less than an a basic understanding of English what a waste of time only to be sent a new TiVo box who knows of this will work as she spent more time speaking to her work mates awful experience 😡

  • kittykatrollins Helen Rollins (@kittykatrollins) reported from Birmingham, England

    Poor customer service from @virginmedia this morning. Phoned to discuss fraudulent callers to my landline. First advise was to call #TPS, I carefully explained that I was already registered with them. He then said, let me give you a number. I diligently wrote it down. Who’s that

  • malcolmwhittak2 Malcolm Whittaker (@malcolmwhittak2) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia @TomMockridgeVM We are currently moving house and trying to cancel our account unfortunately the call agents think it's funny to keep a client on the phone for 3 hours even more so they are happy to direct us to a department that is closed which terminates a call.

  • Wrightgal80 Kate Wright ◣ ◢ (@Wrightgal80) reported from Birmingham, England

    @BloxwichWolf @virginmedia They are beyond crap!

  • thephdrunner Dr Emma Neachell (@thephdrunner) reported from Birmingham, England

    @_gl_lxuise @SkyUK @virginmedia Same problem here. They keep saying they have fixed the issue when they clearly haven’t. They are good at putting prices up but not at fixing issues. I’m going back to Sky.

  • thephdrunner Dr Emma Neachell (@thephdrunner) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I’m getting an access denied error message. A quick google suggests this is a common issue.

  • tfd1977 trev1874 (@tfd1977) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia on hold listening to crap music for hour then disconnected on hold again for 30 mins now anyone working in faults tonight

  • DixeyBaker Sharon Baker (@DixeyBaker) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia trying to get some help with my router and I'm on hold for 20 mins then get cut off - no chat facility available and no email help - rather frustrating !

  • philwowski Philky (@philwowski) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia been on hold to cs for 20+ minutes. No tv service. Intermittent service for the last 4/5 weeks. I just want to watch tv. I pay £100s /yr and yet not getting the service expected. I think I will have to contact Sky for a comparison sad after 15 years

  • licklemouse Stuart Cockerill (@licklemouse) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia So what happens now or am I being stupid or have you just left me in limbo like the phone call !!!

  • thephdrunner Dr Emma Neachell (@thephdrunner) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Cee_langie8852 @virginmedia Yes, they are useless. No service most of yesterday and as of 0530 this morning, no service again. I’ve spent hours waiting to get through to the technical team. It’s time @ofcom got involved.

  • foraneasylife Richard Baily (@foraneasylife) reported from Solihull, England

    Waiting over 22 minutes thus far for @virginmedia to answer phone, as I have no broadband service. Service suddenly went when watching catch up tv. 🙄

  • ainsworth_neil Neil M Ainsworth (@ainsworth_neil) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia No my wife works from home 2 days a week. She constantly gets logged out. No help from customer service. I have the agents ref number and the rough time of the call. Very disappointed

  • shannelchauhan Shannel - mummy of twins (@shannelchauhan) reported from Dorridge, England

    @virginmedia had issues for years......so many calls logged. Wifi doesnt cover whole house and is intermittent all day. Its frustrating. Just logging another call now. Used so much mobile data due to these issues. Never had an issue in this house until virgin.

  • PRBloke Clive Reeves (@PRBloke) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Lionbites @virginmedia @SkyUK You’re very picky. We had no broadband service from @virginmedia yesterday morning and no phone yesterday evening. 20 minutes to answer a phone call. I think they’re all challenged for customer service

  • thephdrunner Dr Emma Neachell (@thephdrunner) reported from Birmingham, England

    @BFILeigh @virginmedia @SkyUK I don’t know you but Virgin Media as a company are so bad they look Sky look amazing. If you can cancel and find an alternative I’d do it.

  • DixeyBaker Sharon Baker (@DixeyBaker) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for replying! The green light keeps flashing which its never done - we had an outage in B14 yesterday- my internet is working and we have rebooted but its still flashing

  • AnitShah8 Anit Shah (@AnitShah8) reported

    @virginmedia I dont have money to go by taxi and once I call to costumer service they didnt give me any information and not registering my complain and I am not satisfied by his replying

  • danyos21 Daniel (@danyos21) reported

    @virginmedia Wow. Nope. That’s not the issue. During a cost of living crisis, where everyone is being extorted by energy companies and majority struggling to pay bills, your multibillion dollar company (who again hasn’t paid tax in the UK in 10 years) is begging UK taxpayers for more money.

  • Merouac_ Merouac (@Merouac_) reported

    **** YOU @virginmedia SCUMMY KHUNTS. Upping my bill AGAIN!! £60/pmfor 350MG are you ******* insane?????? i can get a GIG from @Hyperoptic for £30/pm. Your getting yeeted and deleted mate. Suck a **** you scamming wankers.

    Never again with virgin media

  • t18osc Victoria (@t18osc) reported

    @virginmedia To have a connection to our property. So our frustration is somewhat higher than you may understand. This is a service we pay for and currently are not receiving

  • dan_whitling Dan hunter (@dan_whitling) reported

    @virginmedia Ecerytimr I try to get this sorted your phone operatives pass me around and say the computers are down. Please check last few recordings. In my IT Business this level of service 2ould be unacceptable. Made complaints and gone nowhere. Looking to leave

  • colinlow1 col los (@colinlow1) reported

    @virginmedia As in the responses we've sought every help platform for the constant problems we are having to live with, This is a clear cut example of how your customer service has got me running in circles, Outsourcing my problems to a call centre that does not care
