  • dionne_angus Dionne Angus (@dionne_angus) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia just love paying for services which I'm not getting! Seriously sort it out or I will be going elsewhere. No tv, no internet your service is an absolute joke!

  • debi_feltimo Debi Brown (@debi_feltimo) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Transfer, he moved today so is really panicking that he cannot contact anyone. I can’t even check if the service will be available in his new home

  • roballan07 Rob Allan (@roballan07) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia It was a terrible experience. 3 different people over a period of 1 hour 20 minutes. I had to explain the situation 3 times. You need to review your Customer Services approach as today it appears broken.

  • donnataylor7 Donna Webster (@donnataylor7) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I have resolved it now but I’m tired of having to fight to get a good service. I had to threaten to report it to Watchdog before getting through to someone who could help.

  • danarnie Danny Daly-Arnett (@danarnie) reported from Bracknell, England

    @laaqpr @virginmedia The new one is. “It’s all gone through” Then never receive an email and still paid what you are paying with the “system” saying I never called

  • danarnie Danny Daly-Arnett (@danarnie) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I ring and get hung up on after being on hold for 6 minutes. I just want what I was offered on Friday. I am not very happy with the customer service I am receiving at the moment and will just walk away. I have been a customer for 10 years and get no perks just bigger bills

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Really need to consider my options and look at other service providers - ongoing intermittent service for a week now and keep getting fobbed off by you CSA's - I think you may want to consider reviewing your customer services. #badcustomerservice #virginmedia

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Not impressed, area service is restored but my service is still down. Engineer booked for Tuesday - do you really call this service!!!! I seem to have ongoing issues with Virgin Media - seriously considering changing my provider.

  • debi_feltimo Debi Brown (@debi_feltimo) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Cannot access my account online, forgotten my security question so cannot call, it’s my elderly dads account I set up for him. He moved today,none of your staff will help me as I don’t have the answer. He has now moved, has no contact to outside world, please help!

  • flyingjok John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @dgrutsch @virginmedia @SkyMediaUK @virginmedia has lost direction and customer focus IMO. After trying to tell me there was no fault in my area, before agreeing for an engineer to visit and check system (multiple faults) it proposed sending a pack of cables for me to try and fix myself. Err I don’t think so!

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Rochdale Cowboy (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @UxbridgeLord @marxistniklas @Jim27371416 @DansTweeterings @jeremycorbyn @virginmedia There'll be nothing stopping you from buying it in the future. Not sure what your issue is with a policy that gives other people something you don't want, and which doesn't cost you anything.

  • tw1tterlawsey Martin law (@tw1tterlawsey) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia , have been a customer for many years, my recent experience of your customer service was appalling and no empathy shown or value for my custom. I said your service makes want to leave, I was told that’s my choice, so leaving

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Service outage AGAIN, this is now starting to become ridiculous... when will I start getting a reliable service!!!! This is not what I pay for @virginmedia

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Proposed resolution time is 16h00 - so service has been out since 10h30 and I work from home...

  • CorneliusEvans Chris Evans (@CorneliusEvans) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Netflix is not working with our broadband service you might want to looking in to this as all other streaming service work fine. P.s I’m VM service tech 😉

  • donnataylor7 Donna Webster (@donnataylor7) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I didn’t receive my new contract on April, was not told of 6 month discount price shot up and I had to fight to get my billing date changed. Overall not a good service 😡. Took me over 30 mins on telephone to try and resolve

  • tw1tterlawsey Martin law (@tw1tterlawsey) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Was not anticipating having to leave when i called in, was unhappy you increased my monthly charge and had not been advised. Was told you could do this and there was nothing you could do to rectify the overcharge. Been a loyal customer for 8 years and got treated this way

  • mattrobertsCFC Matt Roberts (@mattrobertsCFC) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Thanks @virginmedia Definitely not broadband on, @amazonprimesport need to sort out their network.

  • roballan07 Rob Allan (@roballan07) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Yes when talking about the quality of customer service I have received from @virginmedia in the past week.

  • Noice113 Noice1 (@Noice113) reported from Finchampstead, England

    @virginmedia I am trying to cancel and on three occasions have asked for help my bills have gone up by 45% no explanation shame on you

  • Mpountain Matt Pountain (@Mpountain) reported

    @virginmedia broadband not working for 3 weeks now in NW10, twice told a date that it will be fixed by (both now in the past). Will be letting @BBCWatchdog know about this, shoddy internet and failed promises, and a lovely extra £3.50 a month to come 🥳. Happy Lockdown 👍.

  • xladylouu Louise Allen (@xladylouu) reported

    @virginmedia been waiting since Wednesday to talk to someone on the Web chat. Everyday it gets refreshed and have to talk to bit again. Can't get through on the phone because (no signal with new sim from you) This is really important and I need to get through to someone today.

  • MaxLC_ Max (@MaxLC_) reported

    @virginmedia seriously you’re giving a price increase with outage in my area since November without fixing the issue? Countless phone calls with no update, nearly three months without you even sending an engineer to fix the problem. I’ll be cancelling my contract.

  • DoubtingVictor Victor Mildew (@DoubtingVictor) reported

    @virginmedia 2/2 Please stop trying to dodge the issue! It’s not good enough and it’s not acceptable to blame COVID on the fact that you don’t wish to employ sufficient resources to answer your phones. I want you to throttle us back up to what I’m paying for and I’d like to speak to somebody.

  • pearsonsam SamPearson (@pearsonsam) reported

    @virginmedia seems as you won’t answer the phone. Is there any other way to cancel my package except calling you?

  • DoubtingVictor Victor Mildew (@DoubtingVictor) reported

    @virginmedia 1/2 No guys, this has been many weeks if not months now; this isn’t something that’s just happened this week. I’ve been paying full price for a service you are simply not providing. Every time I call I’m put on hold. I wait for an hour then you simply cut me off.

  • simonbrealey Simon Brealey  (@simonbrealey) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry for the bad language, yes I gave them full name and address but that’s it, is that an issue do you think?

  • jamieleehaynes jamie lee haynes (@jamieleehaynes) reported

    @virginmedia Right this is stupid I have been trying to contact you for four days now I got put on hold for over 2 1/2 hours the other day and I’ve still got nowhere I have tried on the forms but I’ve got nowhere either how is this fair

  • Frogonastring Mark Fletcher (@Frogonastring) reported

    It develops - that conversation got disconnected whilst I had lunch, so I'm back in the queue again. @virginmedia, I think your systems are broken.

  • grumppot GrumpPot 😷 (@grumppot) reported

    Cut off AGAIN to your bloody call centre @virginmedia. Frustration doesn't even begin to describe it. The pain I've had for over two months now trying to get a proper TV service...
