    @virginmedia how embarrassing is it for you that I would rather pay @skytv more per month just to not have to deal with your appalling customer service?

    @virginmedia No I haven't. Even the service status page is down on the website. :( the phone lines tell me you are working on it, which is fabby but would be good to know what the issue is and how serious I suppose. Thanks for coming back to me so quickly though. :)

    @CloopR @virginmedia Just horrid. I had the same problem with Vodafone. In the end the only way I resolved it was a good friend was golfing buddies with the CEO otherwise I don’t think I’d have sorted it.

    Chris Chapman (@poolshark1972) reported from Witney, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin just been treated like a thick criminal by your customer service team, all because your website has locked me out and won't let me re-register. You should be ashamed.

  • MilesGomme
    Miles Gomme (@MilesGomme) reported from Cumnor, England

    @virginmedia why did you bother sending out the email about opting out of having your Wi-Fi settings changed, when you go and do it anyway!! I had to reset and turn off all the changes you made! If it isn’t broken don’t fix it!!!

    Bill Butcher (@wcbutcher) reported from Kidlington, England

    For a communication co @virginmedia aren’t very commutative. Their internet is down AGAIN. 3rd time in 2 weeks. I saw one of their men at a roadside junction box. That’s dangerous they should leave that to the experts. I am seriously thinking of returning to @bt_uk

    @LaurakBuzz @virginmedia They can slow down your service in busy times. Dodgy. It’s in the contract though

    The whole house was just woken up by @virginmedia who decided to make a sales call at 7:45am this morning. So much for a peaceful lie in. I panicked when someone called so early on a Saturday morning, I thought it must be a family emergency. Thanks @VirginMediaCorp!

    @virginmedia It seems a little expensive and I was hoping for a reduction as being a pensioner and a customer of Virgin long before it was Virgin, namely. Comtel back.on the day.

    🔴 Ofcom fines Virgin Media £28m for blocking customer cancellations Virgin Media breached UK telecoms rules by deliberately dropping calls, transferring customers unnecessarily, and placing them on hold to prevent contract cancellations between January 2022 and September 2024. Ofcom received nearly 2,000 complaints and found the company's retention agents operated under a commission scheme that financially rewarded obstruction. • Fine of £28m — Ofcom's largest ever under consumer protection rules, reduced 30% after Virgin Media admitted fault and agreed to settle • Millions of calls "likely mishandled" during the three-year period

    @MatthewStadlen @virginmedia Virgin Media are the single most useless, duplicitous, awful company on the planet. I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.

    £28 million fine for @virginmedia is well deserved. They have never had any interest in there customers once they have signed.

  • BelfastBooks

    @TrevorM63275988 Having dealt with Virgin Media on behalf of clients for more than 20 years, I can say their customer service has changed dramatically. They now appear to rely heavily on contact deflection, a practice where customers are repeatedly directed towards web chat, FAQs and automated systems instead of being able to speak to a human adviser. While contact deflection is intended to reduce support costs, my experience is that it has reached the point where accessing a person has become unnecessarily difficult. I'll I'll be raising it with Ofcom under the complaint they have against them.

    🚨 UK Regulator Fines Virgin Media £28 Million ($37.4M) Ofcom has slapped Virgin Media with a £28 million fine for systematically preventing customers from cancelling contracts over nearly three years (Jan 2022 – mid-Sept 2024). Key Findings: - Deliberate call-dropping tactics - Excessive and unnecessary call transfers - Repeatedly putting customers on hold for no reason Ofcom described the failings as systemic and repeated. Background: Virgin Media is a joint venture between Spain’s Telefónica and Liberty Global. This is the second major fine for Virgin Media recently (previously fined £23.8M in December for issues with telecare customers during landline migration). Impact: Another hit to Virgin Media’s reputation in the UK broadband/mobile market.
