    If anyone is interested in how much @virginmedia are overcharging for their dreadful service, Iโ€™ve just been offered a price match on cancellation to move to a different supplier. ยฃ27.50/month for a service for which they originally increased price to ยฃ105/month

    Useless service from @virginmedia called 2 discuss package options on hold for ages the agent says he was trying to help them puts me on hold then put the phone down. If their customer service is like that I think Iโ€™ll try give someone else a go @skytv can you do better?

    @virginmedia If I don't it will never be resolved, so please do. As I am missing services I can only presume I will be refunded an acceptable amount for my inconvenience? I still await my refund from December when I was without service for 5 days?

  • adrienne_ayres
    Adrienne Ayres (@adrienne_ayres) reported

    @virginmedia No consistent WiFi at 8pm today at CT3 2BA I thought full fibre meant a consistent service???

  • Terristarfish

    @Benleo We left @virginmedia as they had such poor customer service!

  • Notonyournell10
    Dave. (@Notonyournell10) reported

    @virginmedia Appt booked for between 8 and 12 today, phoned you at 12, took 25 minutes to speak to someone, was told engineer would call me with a time within the hour, still heard nothing. Shambolic customer service.

  • phykell
    Phykell (@phykell) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Doesnโ€™t surprise me one bit. Definitely the worst brand as well.

  • LouiseMensch
    Louise Bagshawe (@LouiseMensch) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia In America they would have been hit with a bunch of class action lawsuits already but the best you can do is probably make a complaint to a regulator.

  • ProudWhiteMe
    ProudWhiteMe (@ProudWhiteMe) reported

    @Benleo Virgin Media has the worst customer service that i have ever experienced. It is almost impossible to speak to someone who speaks English well enough to understand what is going on. Its chat bots are a waste of space. Yet they continue to put their costs up every year without fail

  • scoobiesue82
    Suz (@scoobiesue82) reported

    @virginmedia The big bang theory on TLC suddenly has audio description even though itโ€™s turned off on the box setting. Only every episode of this show nothing else on TLC or any other channel. Itโ€™s pretty annoying as itโ€™s my go to channel between shows. Any idea why/how to fix?

  • JMRGBY_
    jamie (@JMRGBY_) reported

    @MICHAELEMERS0N @virginmedia Itโ€™s pathetic. What could have happened to warrant approximately 8 days before a fix can happen??

  • nicsavo83
    Nicola Savory (@nicsavo83) reported

    @virginmedia how can I arrange a refund for lack of service? BB & TV down for nearly 24hrs, your call centre staff have been horrendous to deal with and I am sat inside on the best day of the year so far, awaiting an engineer - with zero confidence that theyโ€™ll actually arrive!
