  • strutcakes
    Chris 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@strutcakes) reported from Lambeth, England

    Called Virgin Media to complain about the TV box not working and to get it removed from my package. Somehow ended up singing another 18 month contract with the TV box included but at a reduced price. Not ideal but not horrendous.

    This is what I get for being a customer for over 8 continuous years and then 5 years before that. This is awful customer service by Virgin media. #Virginmedia @virginmedia

    Absolute nightmare with @virginmedia arranging new package. Since agreeing package deal yesterday I've received FOUR different emails telling me I'm gonna be paying four different amounts, all higher than what was agreed. Absolutely terrible customer service and real headache

    @IanSlaterPhoto1 @VixThatRuns I have a sizeable Samsung. Ditched Virgin Media, the plan was to have Freeview. The tv doesn’t support Freeview!

    Mark 🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@markselondon) reported from Blackheath, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down again this morning in SE London, got through to customer services and they advised the outage expected to be fixed by 12th April. No compensation offered and I would have to pay a penalty to cancel my contract.

    Nick Tippett (@nicktippett) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Might I add that the last handler in pre install stated he was a 'senior' and he was incredibly rude, talking over me and trying to tell me what my problem was!

    @virginmedia 4/ I work from home so asked what can I do in the meantime? No help given. I asked to speak to a supervisor. Waited 15 mins to speak to Supervisor ( 45 mins total already spent on phone)..

    Baz, Wacky worm! (@mobiusb2) reported from Lambeth, England

    Oh great Broadband broken! , and now got to wait in for Virgin media to fix it tommorow afternoon. Probably punishment for not watching the funeral.

    Just how **** are Virgin Media...my email was down for two evenings and probably the days as well earlier in the week, and now it's down again. Virgin Media i need to access my emails....this level of service is unacceptable. I'm paying for this crap service! @virginmedia

    @virginmedia Though I am dyslexic I have painstakingly done this on multiple devices and have photos to show It - not posting them publicly but it does not recognise that password 😢 A search on line suggests the problem is not unique. I have one hour to call the manufacturer if you advice.

  • befitat50

    You still have not fixed the internet at Sw4 @virginmedia ???? What do you reckon your subscribers think of you? Good or bad ???

    DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia 8/ have to pay if it came down to a third party router intimating that the fault was mine. No appointment till Thursday! I tried to explain that I care for an elderly lady and he wouldn't let me speak and kept interrupting me which was incredibly rude. I advised him to let me

  • andy_s_battle
    Andrew Battle (@andy_s_battle) reported from East Ham, England

    @virginmedia No effort is made to rectify the problem they just want to change to VOIP with no regard to a customer who spends over £1200 a bear for all devices, I wonder what offcom would think

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    Time to ditch @vmbusiness I think, unreliable service & weak support

  • andy_s_battle
    Andrew Battle (@andy_s_battle) reported from East Ham, England

    @virginmedia Just spouting corporate line does not improve the situation. No advanced notice, no resolution to problem, appointment missed, but if I am not here for a visit I am fined. This is very one sided for a service that has other companies wanting the business

    @jollyjapes Zero. Never have in the full 15yrs of trading. Don’t know how much a van costs? You think there’s enough left for dividends? Perhaps you’re mistaking me & my biz for a CEO of BP or a regional manager of VirginMedia. I bloomin live on a housing estate with other working ppl.

  • accesswaterways
    Accessible Waterways Association CIC (@accesswaterways) reported

    @NicolaG01 @virginmedia My experience of Virgin has always been they suffer from technical issues. Many is the time in the past I have called them, they have told me to do things at my end which I know will achieve nothing... and then it magically works!
