    Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

    Hello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

    Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported from Walker Gate, England

    What will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.

    @virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

    @virginmedia Why do you take so long to answer customer calls. I have an issue with my TV, can get absolutely no help on line, then spend ages attempting to contact on phone just to be put on hold. This is not good enough.

  • addingtonsquare
    Monica (@addingtonsquare) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t even log on to account. Keeps looping back and saying not recognised. More than tv issue then?

  • praetorian1369
    ross paterson (@praetorian1369) reported

    @virginmedia TV is not working started pixelated, but after restarting box every channel saying not authorised, plus anytime i try contacting them on any of their numbers or on line chat telling me my account not found. Would be nice if you could update your main page letting people know what is happening and why your contact numbers wont work

    @scottyb1875 @virginmedia That’s inevitable really, but there are alternatives so VM needs to stay competitive with a consistent service. If they can do that, then price really isn’t an issue after all broadband is a must have in this day and age.
