  • jamesjohara James O'Hara (@jamesjohara) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @virginmedia do any of your technical support staff have the first clue what they’re on about?

  • gingerjames1990 James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Again have you read anything iv said????? THREE CALLS to your customer services and all connected to off shore people who have either not got a clue what a complaint is or refused to log one for me! Instead of repeating yourself sort it out! @Ofcom #poorcustomerservice

  • ChrisLaws1 Chris Laws (@ChrisLaws1) reported from Cheadle, England

    @virginmedia please sort your service out... I have now been on the phone to you for almost an hour. The first person hung up on me, the second was rude and useless. All for £0.01 which I don't owe. No wonder the landlords are removing virgin from all of the apartments

  • gingerjames1990 James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @reddersmufc @Ofcom @virginmedia Virgin Media have gone down massively! The amount they charge doesn't represent the customer experience at all!

  • RichardGannon23 Richard Gannon (@RichardGannon23) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @virginmedia my broadband and TV services seem to be down again since 5am

  • gingerjames1990 James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @reddersmufc @Ofcom @virginmedia It's awful! I'm sick of calling customer services and getting through to someone who cannot understand basic English language and goes on talking about something else. Then try to speak to three different advisers to raise a simple issue/complaint and they refuse!

  • andy_dickerson Andrew Dickerson (@andy_dickerson) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Yes I did and Tuesdays fault was shown and yesterday's wasn't so how about you provide the service I pay for. If this continues I will begin getting quotes from other service providers as I am fed up of dealing with bots and spammers claiming to be from you.

  • MattHugheslives Matthew Hughes (@MattHugheslives) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    So @virginmedia is increasing their prices by £8.50 pm. Wouldn't mind so much if they had decent service, eifi that doesn't cut out when i go upstairs, Sky Atlantic etc. Would go with @SkyUK but their wifi doesn't like bloody copper pipes.

  • AndyType2 Andy (@AndyType2) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @virginmedia Wanted to thank the lady that helped me today. The call ended and it was not me, and I really wanted to thank her. Hopefully you will pass it on, she hung on to the bitter death to help.

  • timothyray Tim Ray (@timothyray) reported from Tean, England

    @Cassetteboy @virginmedia Imagine being that crap a company that you don't realise the damage you do to @virginmedia's reputation when you piss off someone with 77k Twitter followers.

  • gingerjames1990 James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Sorry are you not reading what I am saying? Three calls in the past 90 minutes and still they either don't understand what I'm saying or refuse to take a complaint!

  • gingerjames1990 James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @reddersmufc @Ofcom @virginmedia It is awful! Virgin are very expensive compared to many other TV providers yet the customer service is very poor and does NOT suite the price. I'm sick of arguing with them to get the simplest of issues resolved

  • whipblue Julie Leech (@whipblue) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @virginmedia Hi they returned back to full service early this morning we have issue with the broadband though still I live in small bungalow and we unable to connect to the internet I rang several times with the same issue my neighbours have been having issue to connecting to WiFi

  • gingerjames1990 James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @Ofcom how the hell can @virginmedia seriously refuse to allow customers to raise a complaint??? This is bloody awful!!!!!!! Two calls and both calls refuse to allow me to raise a formal complaint!!! Both call takers clearly in a different country and have issues understanding

  • gingerjames1990 James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia hi can someone please message me?? I need help with my bill! You've been overcharging me every month for the last 12 months!!!

  • andy_dickerson Andrew Dickerson (@andy_dickerson) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

  • chriswoods84 Woodsy (@chriswoods84) reported

    @virginmedia And as a side note, your website help is awful. Your telephone staff and probably yourself must get hacked off with getting shouted at and abuse. It's because customers are so frustrated by the time they get to speak to anybody. And don't blame covid, it was the same before.

  • Laica23 Laica (@Laica23) reported

    @virginmedia You did have a DM service, I have spoken to you before on it

  • Marnis1971 Martin smith (@Marnis1971) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve even got a reference number for the new service listed on the email - a V6 and Mix TV - she has never received.

  • lynnsrottie the jolly rottie (@lynnsrottie) reported

    @virginmedia Unsurprisingly I did that each time. Also tried switching everything off then on again. Also tried contacting customer service.

  • Studaawg Stuart (@Studaawg) reported

    @JJohnsonJourno @virginmedia I’m with them and it’s been awful, I’ve been using 5G all day

  • daisybug22 Suzie Mcnab (@daisybug22) reported

    @virginmedia I’m now on day 13 trying to get through to you with a television technical issue!! On each of these days I’ve tried multiple times to get through to your technical team and nothing!! My screen is distorted on every channel in my box downstairs so I can’t view a thing

  • chriswoods84 Woodsy (@chriswoods84) reported

    @virginmedia A complaint has been made online and not acknowledged so far. The text service, i have been trying all week. Keep starting conversations and being cut off. And the promised call back I have had from a manager today hasn't happened. The level of customer service is pathetic.

  • dave3263 Dave Newton (@dave3263) reported

    @virginmedia What’s with the increase in spam and phishing email attempts over the last two weeks? I had around 30-40 purporting to be from fake @Norton saying my subscription was due renewal and now fake @Macafee too. Your spam traps are suddenly not working! #sortitoutplease

  • AnnaMDimi AMD (@AnnaMDimi) reported

    @virginmedia Why does your contact us hours say 9-6pm but when I tried calling at 4:15pm your service says its closed??

  • ryan_gilvear Ryan Gilvear (@ryan_gilvear) reported

    @virginmedia Still haven't even had the confirmation email to set up the account two days later... nor a reply here, and after talking to a agent on web chat, had no help given at all... great customer experience so far..
