  • henry_1664 Andrew Grove (@henry_1664) reported from Birmingham, England

    Can anyone tell me how you get @virginmedia to respond to and deal with complaints? I am at the end of my tether with them! I have raised 4 complaints now and they have unsatisfactorily responded to 1 which I called back about to keep the complaint open only for them to close...

  • MutliRaceMan Jean Thierry 💙 (@MutliRaceMan) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia My daughter had to make 2 phone calls to your customer service department to resolve a problem with her new TV box in November last year. She was almost 2 hours on the phone & then an engineer visit solved the problem. Engineer admitted the setup instructions were at fault.

  • MartinClarke165 Martin Clarke (@MartinClarke165) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia No service still. Outrageous. No customer support. Online mths all day. Great advert for Virgin. The most reliable broadband provider #poorservice

  • DorisLee1966 Judy Lee (@DorisLee1966) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I’ve called and called l’ve used the chat line numerous times. A agent opened a complaint in early feb l received a letter saying all sorted when it wasn’t there are 2 complaints outstanding and my accounts are still wrong.

  • lestatsmum rayofsunshine 💙 (@lestatsmum) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia do you have a number or email so I cancel mobile insurance?

  • MutliRaceMan Jean Thierry 💙 (@MutliRaceMan) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It was a five minute fix, but she lost one month of TV access as a result. She’s a nurse so arranging a daytime appointment took a while because of her work patterns. It’s her first home of her own and I felt she had been treated in a less than respectable manner.

  • NannieHelen Helen Croft (@NannieHelen) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia It’s the WIFi and what can you do about it? I’ve been a customer for many many years and this issue is causing aggravation. Surely I should expect uninterrupted service all day every day. It’s not cheap either is it??

  • DorisLee1966 Judy Lee (@DorisLee1966) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia The first agent was so rude the second very helpful said she hoped she had sorted the dates of my contract and the bill. But as yet the bill for March hasn’t changed l have no idea what is happening with the complaints. I’m so worn down by it all.

  • DagnallChris chris dagnall (@DagnallChris) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia my wifi is constantly going down, it's happened 4 times today, so frustration. Why do I pay £74 pound a month for this service!? Really thinking of switching to @SkyUK

  • Dom_Priest94 DOM PRIEST (@Dom_Priest94) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia chronic customer service !

  • ThatNeilFleming neil fleming (@ThatNeilFleming) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia take a look at the replies to your Facebook ads. Virtually every comment the same patchy broadband connection and absolute dog **** customer service

  • JtheB_DKP Jack The Biscuit 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@JtheB_DKP) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia • 3 times I’ve been cut off this morning while trying to sort out my bill. Could someone please help?

  • stumccullagh Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia internet down yet again ..... McDonalds carpark to get their WiFi just for a Zoom call!!!!

  • alex_bann Alex Bann (@alex_bann) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Can anyone help please? New V6 box has been broken for about a month and have tried to call to get fixed/replaced but to no avail.

  • DorisLee1966 Judy Lee (@DorisLee1966) reported from Dudley, England

    @theMrsH89 @virginmedia l upgraded my internet with Virgin and it’s dreadful. The process still isn’t sorted out lm being charged incorrectly and it won’t be put right until complaints sort it out. I’m still waiting for complaints the service for broadband and the customer is poor and very stressful

  • MutliRaceMan Jean Thierry 💙 (@MutliRaceMan) reported from Birmingham, England

    @davesumnersmith @virginmedia I have realised that talking to Twitter teams is of limited value. The responses are scripted and when they’re painted into a corner, they just stop responding. Customer Service has become a contradiction in terms. My daughter has had similar experiences with Virgin Media.

  • ChloeHolland_ox Chloe (@ChloeHolland_ox) reported from Aldridge, England

    Sick of having issues with my Wi-Fi!! At least a couple times a day the router starts flashing and won’t connect anyone in my house to it! Internet speeds are slow all the time 😡 @virginmedia sort it out

  • dbyrne2112 David Byrne (@dbyrne2112) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia The issue is happening on the app so it looks like it’s duplicated the laptop using chrome 4 times. 3 of those need removing which I can’t do

  • leeharris85 lee harris (@leeharris85) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I’ve tried calling got through being on hold for 30 minutes waiting to speak to a manager as I’ve been told I need to pay for something others have free and been cut out again!!!

  • ThatNeilFleming neil fleming (@ThatNeilFleming) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia That might require quite an extensive overall of your infrastructure and servers however you could maybe start by answering the telephone - you are a telecoms company. Or does customer service fly out the window once the direct debits are set up?

  • eilidhmuz Eilidh Murray (@eilidhmuz) reported from Tottenham, England

    @danslee @virginmedia Oh I feel your pain. Had such bad bad customer service with @virginmedia in the past.

  • jimiinc James Enck (@jimiinc) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia I wasn't complaining at all, just commenting on how Virgin is on top of its game. My broadband was only down for half an hour, no dramas. And your field tech was very friendly and helpful in explaining what was going on. All good here.

  • Damboye Damilola Adeboye (@Damboye) reported from Tilbury, England

    Virgin media decided to add £3 to the bill But the broadband service’s poor ...@richardbranson ::: Your company or franchise , can do better

  • northernmicks Kenneth Owen (@northernmicks) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia that's the problem businesses assume customers are happy to spend their lives phoning them and be happy wasting hours and hours

  • ianl2001 Ian lee (@ianl2001) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia please explain customer service to me...on hold for 16 minutes, then cut off #jokeservice

  • LeanintoDesign John Grimshaw (@LeanintoDesign) reported from Oldham, England

    @RischDesigns @fittdr @virginmedia @Plusnet @NOWTV @emmerdale @LoveIsland Thanks for the advice both you and @ASBO_Allstar have said a similar thing so I guess it's a negotiation down in price with a new router to fix @virginmedia crap hardware.

  • Doug1tux1 Douglas lindsay (@Doug1tux1) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia You might have the smallest and smartest v6 TiVo box, but a: I don’t have a v6 I got an pre v6 box, b: the v6 is has been out for years so unless there is a v7 coming out for every customer in September your mention of the v6 doesn’t justify £3.50 increase for everyone

  • Doug1tux1 Douglas lindsay (@Doug1tux1) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia boasts and brags about their hub 3 being the best ever, the only thing they are the best ever at is the amount of times they go offline, thankfully @VodafoneUK has a decent network i am able to stay online unlike my hub3

  • RobertProcter Rob Procter (@RobertProcter) reported from East Grinstead, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for coming back to me. It’s just my internet is going slow again probably for about the tenth time I’ve had to call in the last 12 months. So I wanted them to check to see what’s wrong with it. Many thanks, rob

  • jameze1992 James Marshall (@jameze1992) reported from Oldham, England

    Good grief.. First experience with @virginmedia was like pulling teeth. They'll need to sort their customer service out FAST before other providers catch up with speed 😂😂
