    @virginmedia @vmbusinesshelp I have. They were not great. I did explain that the voice options stated there was an issue. However, your email said it would have been sorted last week. You breached the 6 hour window and the 5 people I spoke to in Timbuktu didn't understand me all that well 🤦#poorservice

    @virginmedia @johnmclaren1972 All I’m seeing are apologies but still no resolution to fixing issues, providing a decent service or looking after existing customers. I’ll be changing to sky next month.

    @SkyHelpTeam sort it out… it’s imperative now more than ever when we are working from home to have reliable internet!! There random outages are happening far too often and causing issue for my work and customers!! It’s just a shame I can’t get @virginmedia internet…

  • Dex_Fitz
    𝗗𝗲𝘅 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗱 (@Dex_Fitz) reported from Skewen, Wales

    @virginmedia I’ve detailed that I have been lied to and expressed strong dissatisfaction with your customer service and your reply is to check if there are any issues in my area? Like I said, I’ll await a manager to call (if that actually happens) and add this to the complaint. Really poor.

    @virginmedia why is WiFi down for the fourth time this week whilst the app says service is fine? I know it’s not just my box.

    @virginmedia I received it back in May/June time, I already logged a complaint with the person who promised me they had sort it because of your absolutely abysmal customer service and still nearly another month later, moving into October I still have not received my refund! Coming into 6 mths

    Roland Hesz 🎸⛩️🏳️‍🌈 (@rolandhesz) reported

    Hey @virginmedia, is it correct that I am not allowed to read the contract before I sign up but I still have to tick the "I have read it..." checkbox to sign up? That's what your customer service agent is telling me now. I thought it was a broken link but I'm told otherwise.

  • grandadthegrey
    Steve H 📷🦋🐝 (@grandadthegrey) reported

    Just spent an hour trying to contact a human at @virginmedia but failed. Customer service line useless. Chat didn't work. Web site takes you round in circles and does not solve what I wanted to know.

  • ShirleySarah70
    ShirleySarah🌹🎸🦊🦔🐦⚽ (@ShirleySarah70) reported

    @virginmedia You STILL haven't replied to my DM which I sent on FRIDAY LAST WEEK. What's wrong with you people. Any more of this ignoring me and I CANCEL MY DIRECT DEBIT and GO TO SKY. They know how to treat their customers and not like 💩 as is the case with you lot 😡

    @virginmedia I'm a VirginMedia customer with a subscription to the Sky Movies & Sports package. I was using the On Demand option to watch the Downton Abbey The Grand Finale movie. It was then I discovered that the subtitles are not synchronised with the soundtrack.

    @virginmedia customer service has got to be the worst I’ve experienced in the UK.

    Deborah (@Deb0rahKW) reported

    Tons of organisations where you want to speak to a human and can't find a phone number. Yet. Virgin media down. I just want to click a button to report and all I can find is a phone number.

  • fellowska
    Adam Kieran Fellows (@fellowska) reported

    @virginmedia and just as I bloody expected, phone gets put down. Absolutely a ******* joke. Been waiting for you to get back to me since Thursday on WhatsApp, your bot can’t put me through to an agent either. Disgraceful customer service

  • djacid25
    Djacid (@djacid25) reported

    Sorry about no streams . No content . I have no Internet @virginmedia say it will not be back up until the 13th . Its been off since the 5th. No word . No update. Not even a message from virgin media. I dont feel like a customer at this point . Rather just a number. Do better

  • JoshLoweLufc
    Win the Farke Lot! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@JoshLoweLufc) reported

    @virginmedia online chat won’t work and seen as I can’t call, I have no way of discussing my expiring contract. Ridiculous customer service as usual.
