  • GeirGulbrandsen 積ん読 (@GeirGulbrandsen) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia Just to let you know, as most evenings streaming video (even low-res) is really bad again. I know the product description is "up to...", but as you linked the other day you ha "minimum guaranteed bandwidth" that should be more than enough to watch a little bit of video. Very sad

  • madeamazing_ MadeAmazing (@madeamazing_) reported from Bromley, England

    Nice to know @virginmedia are absolute animals towards old people. Not a care in the world. Just cutting off their phone line without considering the consequences & impact it could have on two elderly people. Sickening behaviour. My poor granny is so distressed.

  • ajb_ltd AJB Consultancy Group Ltd (@ajb_ltd) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia No difference. From the amount of complaints I have read on the same issue I think you know what the problem is with the new box.

  • niallthorpe08 Niall Thorpe (@niallthorpe08) reported from London, England

    So we’ve waited 4 weeks for @virginmedia to install our TV and WiFi, telling us it’s been in the flat before, they get here finally and say it’s never been in the flat and we can’t have it! So they’ve left and we’re back to square one....

  • ajb_ltd AJB Consultancy Group Ltd (@ajb_ltd) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia our Tivo box is showing menu and sound but no picture. Worked fine for 2 weeks in cooling off period. Also was on hold for 35 minutes today. Please provide solution. Not happy.

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia All I want is someone as determined as you are in resolving the way I have been treated and the lack of service that I have not been provided with

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @LoveMarbs7 @virginmedia Tell me about it this has been going on since June poor service poor management poor customer relation but they still want to take my monthly subscription

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia No I do not have a reference this has been going on since June of this year it's disgraceful how I am being treated poor management poor service

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    Virgin Media I would not recommend you to my worst enemy after being promised 8 times a manager will call me back within 1 hour disgraceful

  • madeamazing_ MadeAmazing (@madeamazing_) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Well in talking to two of your customer service team they say you haven't. But two others say it has been!! Complete chaos. And terrible customer service.

  • VillianComplex Christopher Tulloch (@VillianComplex) reported from East Ham, England

    I thought BT were bad but damn @virginmedia is seriously awful.

  • Katiewrightt1 katie (@Katiewrightt1) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia waited 25 minutes before I got through and then your unfriendly staff member hung up on me whilst ‘searching for information’ 🤨🤨🤨. My internet never works and I’m getting 0 help....

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia Although your Aim is not to deliver a shockingly bad customer experience it’s what your customer services team are only capable of delivering... repeatedly... can you put in a request to get me a call back or give me a postal address as this may be quicker to put In a request.

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @LoveMarbs7 @virginmedia @richardbranson @skytv_ Much appreciated for that email address, I will be firing off a email tomorrow. I'll give some home truths about her poor management

  • lorihaleyfox Lori Haley Fox (@lorihaleyfox) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Thanks JJ - another customer service rep contacted me and the problem has been resolved. Unfortunately the first adviser was misinformed! Thank you!

  • iamkingkyla_ 🥴 (@iamkingkyla_) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia can you fix your WiFi I’m actually sick of this rubbish

  • ajb_ltd AJB Consultancy Group Ltd (@ajb_ltd) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia new customer and TiVo box is not working after 2 weeks. Shows menu and sound but no picture. Please provide a solution. Not happy.

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Ok but I will try the first link first. As I want to resolve this on a high authority this is bad customer service

  • Willhide Will Hide (@Willhide) reported from Camden Town, England

    @GillianRhys @virginmedia Ha - would never go back to them. We found them totally unreliable and their customer service was beyond a joke. (But thanks. And see you tomorrow!)

  • Richardjmoses Richard Moses (@Richardjmoses) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. I don’t mean I set of guidelines. I mean an internal process flow for how complaint unsealed managed. For example I have raised a complaint. I call up, get to you offshore team, and they cannot see my complaint or put me through to anyone

  • Usman_1986 Usman (@Usman_1986) reported

    @virginmedia Do not tell me you can not instruct a employee to call me, you have communication means, simple, this is to make it hard for customer as possible @BBCWatchdog @MartinSLewis

  • TophHooperton Chris Hooper (@TophHooperton) reported

    @virginmedia That’s what I was asking you really - it says there’s no issues but there are; it came back this morning but cripplingly slow (not even 1mbps) and says there are no issues. Just wondering what’s going on as it’s so intermittent.

  • HatimElmadani حاتم المدني Hatim Elmadani (@HatimElmadani) reported

    @JonBenjamin19 @virginmedia I have been shouting for past two years,for @Ofcom to examine closely many companies service in this sector with no a vail

  • Jaarders Alex Jardine (@Jaarders) reported

    @virginmedia Unsurprisingly, 48 hours have long passed and no one has called or contacted me in anyway as promised. I’m now facing a contract at a price which is over twice the price I would have to pay for the equivalent services as a ‘new’ customer.

  • KathrynWW1 Kathryn White (@KathrynWW1) reported

    @virginmedia How does one cancel a broadband contract (which I believe must be done over the phone) if your call centre is closed and the phones never answered?

  • NieuwBloem Lisa Loudon (@NieuwBloem) reported

    @virginmedia Yes please! But not sure how much you can arrange online. I took over a transferred contract but have been overcharged since the beginning. I cannot sort this as the online bot doesn’t recognise the account and I have never managed to get through calling

  • Wandster Rich H Wand (@Wandster) reported

    @Jeremy74 @virginmedia Sounds like a plan. I don't mind a few issues but @virginmedia are upping my monthly charge to £45 for 100Mb broadband - no TV, no phone - just broadband. £45?!

  • ruth123uk Ruth Spencer (@ruth123uk) reported

    @virginmedia been a customer for over 7 years now not a customer terrible customer service off to @skytv I go, had no reply to emails and messages.

  • lindabarlow101 Linda Barlow (@lindabarlow101) reported

    @virginmedia All sorted now thanks. It is frustrating tho’ as it turned out to be an issue with supply but when running the tests in our equipment as advised on your website it said it was a problem with our equipment.

  • Filipino_womble Mac (@Filipino_womble) reported

    @virginmedia Nope not spoken to anyone apart from the CS Rep who said she would put through the refund for loss of service after my initial complaint
