    @virginmedia why am h getting the message that my cable is broken

  • MENorthAffinity
    Michael Edwards (@MENorthAffinity) reported from Leeds, England

    It feels like @virginmedia and @VodafoneUK are having some weird competition to decide who has the most inept and frustrating customer experience competition. No one is perfect but to be this consistently terrible is almost admirable.

    Claire Gomersall (@ClaraGomer) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia A fault, however, the router was “updated”.... Worked okay for a couple of weeks, then went back to being out of sync / tinny sound I thought it may have been down to my Gramps TV - but I bought a new TV and used the FireStick on there - but still issues!!

    @virginmedia as a rejoining customer, how do I set up an account with my old accounts e-mail address? #gettingstuck #shouldbeeasier

    @virginmedia But can deal with EASY problems on earth. You could literally offer me everything for FREE & Id still say no. Your company is going bust for a reason. Tell Branson you know how to fix it, tell him ‘our customer service is horrendous, we need to change’, then maybe VM will survive

  • ClaraGomer
    Claire Gomersall (@ClaraGomer) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia is down. Again!!! Shocking service for a rip-off cost!!

  • Yuz6Yusof
    Md Yuzaiful Md Yusof (@Yuz6Yusof) reported from Leeds, England

    Having been a loyal customer for 4 years with @virginmedia, I have been lied to by customer service. They applied a different package than what agreed on phone. Violation of customer’s right! Rang 3 times since to complain but nothing has been done! Disgraceful @VirginMediaCorp

    Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia The mobile no. of the customer services chap who sold us the package. I’m not bothered about the phone line I just don’t won’t to be paying for TV we don’t have and I can’t phone virgin without my phone line or I’ll be charged.

  • Churchill0782
    The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I've checked and definitely not entitled due to the amount of days with no service. Like I said, a good will gesture. People who are working from home haven't been able to work for a start. Only been with you a few weeks and have nothing but issues.

    @virginmedia great to see you hiked my price and the service is worse. And before you say it yes I have reset my box , that's all you ever say 🤬🤬

    jo bell (@csijo) reported from Doncaster, England

    @virginmedia - we (YOU) have a PROBLEM!!! Why have I been charged £147 for a contract of £64 even after speaking to someone on 25/09 (when bill was received) who assured me they would escalate the issue and get it resolved?? #unhappycustomer #overcharged #problem

  • philter66
    Phil Turner (@philter66) reported from Leeds, England

    Hi @virginmedia maybe try answering my call ..as a customer of 25 years paying the atrocious figure of £145 a month @skytv could be getting a new customer

    Beef (@thebeefybaby) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia your internet is beyond garbage. I'm meant to have 200mb line and it's running at 10mb. How do I get services from you that aren't dog ****?

    @virginmedia @O2 what's the point Virgin is as bad as BT I was supposed to have Virgin Broadband & phone installed on Friday got told yesterday it was delayed til December 1st earliest with no reason as to why asked for a 5G router to get me by til then was put on hold for 20 mins then cut off.

    @virginmedia Have you tried turning it off and back on again? That appears to be your answer to every technical issue.

  • Edeaulx
    Adrian Weale (@Edeaulx) reported

    Hey @VirginMedia, does an incomprehensible email and one desultory telephone call when I wasn't at home and therefore not in a position to answer the 'security' questions constitute your only effort to resolve my complaint reference C-1907261424?

    @virginmedia we have sent back the equipment using the box provided. We have proof we sent it, spent an hour on the phone last week and receive another message saying we are being billed. Please sort it out this is very poor.

    Paul Jones (@PaulFJonescom) reported

    @virginmedia are totally incompetent. Cancelled my service. Was told I will get a final bill and can ignore my current bill. Now have final bill and have a late payment charge for previous bill added. Cant get through on phone lines. Be wary when cancelling your services people!
