Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, EnglandIf anyone is interested in how much @virginmedia are overcharging for their dreadful service, I’ve just been offered a price match on cancellation to move to a different supplier. £27.50/month for a service for which they originally increased price to £105/month

Andrew Burdett (@andburd) reported from Maidenhead, EnglandHi @virginmedia, I’ve spent more than an hour on the phone to your advisors this morning and am getting nowhere. I have therefore now decided I would like to cancel my contract (I am within cooling-off period). Would I still be considered a ‘new’ customer if I find a new deal?
-

Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia Broadband down again, 2nd week in a row. Had one day of service and stupidly canx Engineer due next day and hey presto back down we go again. 1 week wait for engineer, 1 day of BB, and now earliest slot for Engineer +1 week. Buyer beware. Typing whilst 50 mins holding with VM!

Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia let me down once again with their pathetic service. First the broadband was extremely slow all day and now the Hub is gone. No emergency appointment and I have to wait for a week for a technician visit. @Ofcom

A Rintsie (@arintsie) reported from Marlow Bottom, England@virginmedia I am sorry but twice in 45 mins they cut me off as they did not know how to resolve the issue / easy way out
-
Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, England@denman79 @virginmedia The irony is that @virginmedia are more like the Pistols -‘No point in asking you’ll get no reply’ and they seem ‘Pretty Vacant’ but ‘Never mind all that…..’ can someone please take some responsibility and ownership that seems to be sadly lacking atm
-
Andy Barr 🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@AndyBarr79) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia I can't sign in as I no longer hold an account, your CS don't care and obviously fobbing me off and not raising complaints as requested, I will just pursue via FCA and/or trading standards.
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia Thanks. Engineer showed up, plugged in a new Hub 3, “fixed” my BB & WiFi and, 3 hours later, it’s still not working. Can I 1) file a complaint and 2) get a guarantee that this will be fixed for once and for all.

mary32 (@marypaul32) reported@nightsong53 @virginmedia Definitely deliberate. Customer service simply does not exist anymore.
-
Robbie Humphries (@RobbieH1972) reported@TheNotoriousMMA @LOCthedreamer2 Ireland 🇮🇪 needs an alternative news channel to the government funded stations like Rte/ newstalk/ virgin media etc until then things will not change as we have s generation who solely watch this absolute garbage… we need an alternative like GB news in the uk …

Ali@Makely (@MakelyStudio) reported10 years. 50M+ users. £11M+ revenue impact. Mercedes. Citibank. Sky. Virgin Media. NatWest. I spent a decade fixing conversion problems at some of the world's most recognised brands. what I learned: the same broken patterns show up everywhere - onboarding that loses people in the first 60 seconds, pricing pages that confuse instead of convert, signup flows with friction nobody ever fixed. Now I build the same systems for funded startups.

Jo (@Mansfield_Girl) reported@virginmedia Hi! Since 14th Grandad has got "Title Not Available" on all channels and experiencing intermittent issues with picture. Looks like not connected to Virgin Network but only option is wired when never has been wired?! Tried hard resets on both box and router.
-
Becky (@chibs9184x) reported@virginmedia need to speak to you lot about something. Been told one thing by your customer service agent, and this hasn’t been followed through (do have copy of the web chat to prove this also!) 😤
-
WATCHING THE GAME (@Pass_Move) reported@virginmedia @annasimpson1 What’s the point. You don’t care and never respond.
-
Ian Lewis (@IanLewis299) reported@virginmedia Sorry, I've worded that badly. I meant I didn't even want to raise a complaint. I told them not to raise it, and they have done anyway, and resolved it. They also told me not to fill in the survey as my issue (not a complaint!) isn't yet resolved so it wouldn't look bad on them!
