    @virginmedia My original package wasn't due to end until July 22. I've spoken to every department you have, over & over again...I go over the same old explanation with your people every single time & still, nobody in your company will help...I've spoken to over 3 managers & still nothing!!

  • Dazc090861
    Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I'm now waiting on a call from the retentions department (I missed one earlier)! I know exactly what they will say because I've spoken to them on a number of occasions...they will offer me a new contract & raise a complaint about the messing about you've given me!!!

    Gareth Jones (@gazthebluebird1) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I am unable to sign into my online account and trying to speak to anyone at your company its like trying to make contact with the moon, can you open up a DM conversation to help please?

  • benj8min
    Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia With respect, your customer service advisors are useless. As is the technology for contacting them. As per my initial message. Last time I went through this I was booked a chat appointment by your twitter team with someone who specifically handled the complaint.

  • gillih
    Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England

    @virginmedia I have got this sorted with your team now. Helpful person. But I suggest changing your auto system to give callers an idea of wait time. Better customer service.

    @virginmedia you SUCK, you have NO CUSTOMER service at all. Employ more staff and start to provide a service we are paying for RUBBISH SERVICE perhaps we need to move to @skytv !!!!

    @syeporter180 @virginmedia I’m on virgin and it’s not that great Sye, I was going to sky before I renewed but had the same problem as you because I’d of had to wait months for BT to install a cable so just stuck to the devil I know in the end

  • markccfc70
    Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    Been with @virginmedia back as far as old NTL days. Downgrade our package for the first time ever to keep costs down, and the Internet must have crashed at least 8 times today, the day after we changed. Absolutely useless, on the phone tomorrow to cancel this **** completely.

    @virginmedia So myself or my wife has to spend our working day trying to get through to ypu just to be fobbed off to different departments and get no where 🙄🙄 customer service skills at best

  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Yep. Just been on hold for 1 hour 3 minutes and as soon as I got through it cut off. Sent multiple follow up WhatsApp messages and still nothing. You really need to sort out your customer service because I’ve been waiting 3 weeks just to get back into contact with someone!!!

  • Dazc090861
    Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I do not want to be with you any more because you are doing my head in!!!! You have turned from being a very good company with good service to being the most disgusting people I have ever had the displeasure of coming in contact with!!!

  • MaartenSleeckx
    MaartenX. (@MaartenSleeckx) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia Screw you. Only me dying bothers anyone, literally anyone, it's always impossible to help me until people understand that I will kill myself. You're no better than them. See you in 2 weeks or not "AB".

    @miaKJKJ22 @Gary1165 @virginmedia Yes, agreed, it's usually well known about general outages. Annoying though when they say it's all fixed in your area and the service checker says all OK at you property when it clearly isn't 😬

  • Witter10995102
    Witter (@Witter10995102) reported

    @indepdubnrth @Jklunden Yes Virgin media and newstalk just as bad

  • Gregster29
    Greg O'Connell (Two jabs) (@Gregster29) reported

    @virginmedia Ringing customer services was my first port of call and that got me nowhere.

  • amcgrath1uk
    Asa McGrath (@amcgrath1uk) reported

    @virginmedia The issue isn’t time. The issue isn’t that there’s further work. The issue is that it gives out wrong information all the time. Half the time it’s not able to be connected with.

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @BertySi @virginmedia That's a flat no from @virginmedia on the MiFi with credit suggestion. Question is, are they prepared to do anything to help or assist seriously inconvenienced and frustrated customers?

  • barlow99
    Unique CB7 (@barlow99) reported

    @virginmedia you’re internet is crap

  • aidan_codtello
    Aidan Costello (@aidan_codtello) reported

    @virginmedia I still have not received a payment I should have received on referring my father to switch to Virgin and he should have had a payment too. Our broadband has been poor this week and I hope it will be better this week.

  • Gregster29
    Greg O'Connell (Two jabs) (@Gregster29) reported

    @virginmedia All I'd like to know is if 2Gb fibre is available for my postcode. The website says yes, Customer service says no. So which is it?

  • andymuza
    CMDR Andy Fireblade Muza (@andymuza) reported

    @virginmedia You will quickly remove discounts and charge them extra without even offering the loyal customer any other offers. And now to add insult to injury you only offer 24 month contract. @youfibre will be getting my custom soon. Sick to death of virgin shafting it's loyal customers.
