  • BrianCobbold2
    Brian Cobbold (@BrianCobbold2) reported from Bicester, England

    @virginmedia Their understanding of the English Language was so poor, they offered me a discount that was £10 a month more than now. That was without getting any up to date equipment.

    Stuart Crook (@StuPCrook) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia I’ve called them and got nowhere - it’s a simple request that should be a simple form - not an hour wait in the phone minimum. You don’t publish the number, it isn’t in the help screen and the chat function times out! #useless #poorcustomerservice

  • wcbutcher
    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

  • ajthesheepdocto
    Michelle Wolfenden (@ajthesheepdocto) reported from Grove, England

    @virginmedia upgrade to 360 has caused no end of issues - slow WiFi, slower TV, losing saved programmes, and customer services very unhelpful. When we suggested complaining they hung up. #virgin #nocustomerservice

    @virginmedia home Internet down in Oxford? 🤪#virginmedia #sendhelp

    Fabia Cerra - Actor/Dancer/Choreographer/Writer (@Fabiaburlesque) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @TheO2 and @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog Be careful of this, they say they will send you a free SIM card. First off, it never arrived. Secondly, they rack up a bill baring in mind I’ve not used it. Then put it on your credit rating. So glad my three year contract ends with o2 soon.

  • Wendywirdz
    Wendy (@Wendywirdz) reported from Abingdon, England

    @virginmedia Finally we did. Took 2 days of texting. Not the best service.

    Amanda Davies (@AmandaD00131015) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia @libertyglobal I refuse to ring again at a charge to myself, I was told a member of yr complaints team would call me. Your customer service is absolutely terrible

  • RNeacsu
    Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia And yes I called to your outage number, apparently there is no known issue in the area. Even though last night at 11.30pm in the app the status check showed every service is down, even though they weren't down last night. This happens only during working hours.

    @virginmedia AI should get rolled out once it works. Currently it does not - yet failing robots are used across the industry, eroding the reputation of those giving their customer the finger with it. Want to immediately be the industry leader?

  • phil66uk
    Phil66 (@phil66uk) reported

    @virginmedia @alexand979677 And they don't take off anything if your service is down either

  • SarkySodRyan
    Ryan (@SarkySodRyan) reported

    @virginmedia you've sent me messages saying you'll charge me for not sending back my old box.... Despite me telling you the new one doesn't work. This is what it displays. Tried calling your customer service number and - as always - I can't get through Any idea what to do? R

  • Cakes6G

    @MickeyDN7 @virginmedia @SkySports Why do you bother giving your money to these huge, crap corporate entities is beyond me!?

  • IainSankey
    Iain Sankey (@IainSankey) reported

    @NommeDeTwit @virginmedia They seem to favour new customers, so I expect I'll have to change again in 2 years or threaten to. It's really stupid that companies no longer reward loyalty.

  • wheelslimshady_
    WHEELSlimShady ♿️ (@wheelslimshady_) reported

    @soarizard @elliviant Tbf mine is usually about £125, rn it’s down to like £76 but I also have tv package with Virgin Media. I have all the sports channels and so I do pay a lot, but I’m not sure how much my broadband is separately! But yes, mine WHEELY fast 🤘🏻🤓

    Sir Christopher (@chrishenry88) reported

    @virginmedia my services will be suspended because of an outstanding bill , however , this is not the first time , that the bill was paid , screenshots taken and now it’s up to Virgin media . Why should I be paying for a shoddy service , at best , anyway ?

  • SamReesO
    Sam Rees (@SamReesO) reported

    @virginmedia @eirwenjulia Perhaps… refund the downtime and fix it? That would be super helpful..

  • rwfc236
    Howard Freeman (@rwfc236) reported

    @virginmedia as usual Virgin media lets me down when I need it. Trying to watch the West Ham game and am in an impossible loop as my passkey is not recognised, it doesn’t actually show how or why and then the link does nothing. Pathetic as usual what a waste of money

    @virginmedia what the hell is up with every time I start the bix it goes to home and not on my last viewed channel? STUPID change. Are you corps determined to make all UX as bad as possible 🙄
