    @danslee @virginmedia That’s shocking customer handling Dan. If it’s any help I’ve actually found the guys @TalkTalk pretty good especially on tech issues around broadband.

    @TravelodgeUK Wi-Fi, provided by @virginmedia not only has ripped me off but their customer support team are apparently away all weekend. This is obviously a scam.

    @CISASUK @virginmedia I used the resolution service to come to a settlement with Virgin on 9/4/19. Response from Virgin that a cheque would be sent and should be received within 7-10 working days. Today is the 12th working day and I’ve received no cheque in the post. Not happy

    @virginmedia Have tried 3 more times to get through with the same outcome. Paying a lot of money for no service and no customer service!

    @franklake @virginmedia @MoneyTelegraph Wait till you finally cancel, you then have to wait for the return packaging to be delivered, assemble the bloody thing, put your boxes into the box they send, including cables and remote, and send it all back or get charged 100 quid. Enjoy!

  • RapidBI
    Mike Morrison (@RapidBI) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    Trying to talk to get a change to our @virginmedia account. 5 weeks, none of the promised call back & now they close our account without telling us. If this is how they treat long term customer avoid like the plague!! #customerservicefail #broadband

    Not happy with Virgin Media at the moment. No WiFi since Saturday. Tried calling and got nowhere as the call centre is closed. Don't need this during self isolation. Does anyone else have this problem. Not good enough Virgin Media.

    @virginmedia ....and as for your AI.... Who created that - it's nearly as bad as that repulsive Epstein Island like, owner of yours !

  • RonTamblo
    Tamblo (@RonTamblo) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin media is the worst business to get answers from . Either trying to actually speak to someone rather than a Bott who doesn’t understand. Trying to upgrade due to constant messages saying my box needs upgrade and getting no help is a joke !!!!

  • HounslowParking
    Asif Rana (@HounslowParking) reported

    @bt_uk I'd like to know why your business broadband so called service, can only compound its utter uselessness with skyscraper level brain numbing stupidity? I thought @vmbusiness was utterly indescribably ****, until you came along. You literally make them look like geniuses.

    June Tobin (@junie1954) reported

    Sarah Baber (@babester15) reported

    @virginmedia if you’re going to have a phone number would be nice if answered - just been on hold waiting to get through for 2 hours and then the call inexplicably cut out. All for something that should be easy to do and find on my online account!
