  • iMeyrick Meyrick (@iMeyrick) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @zebadee1985 @virginmedia Virgin Media, fastest speeds but slowest customer service. It’s a massive shame, it really lets them down.

  • marcalmond7 Marc Almond (@marcalmond7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @TheHammer180 @virginmedia Best thing to do is give your 30 days notice to cancel and they will call you directly with an offer! Happened to me twice now!

  • Rocketman_86 Rocketman_86 (@Rocketman_86) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Your a tech company and doesn't have an email address. Your live chat is laughable and waiting times on the phones is silly. Trying log into the account - forget password the username doesn't exist. The self help is insulting intelligence is the ringer switched on for instance

  • Rocketman_86 Rocketman_86 (@Rocketman_86) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Yes. No human tone. No customer service. The usual have you tried changing the batteries in your phone, could it be your handset etc ( they bought new ones 6/7 week ago thinking it was them) may be they should ask Virgin Media to reimburse them

  • CJMontford Connor / MN (@CJMontford) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    Virgin Media is DOG AWFUL

  • PeachyBeechy cara (@PeachyBeechy) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia is there an issue with the internet service in ST4 Stoke on Trent?

  • TheLensman Mark ODonnell (@TheLensman) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @virginmedia It might be best if you send a DM - we had a phone call from people who said they were virgin support. We have a phone number but the call felt wrong

  • TheLensman Mark ODonnell (@TheLensman) reported from Crewe, England

    @virginmedia The number used 01455443469 in the UK. They said they had detected problems on our router & wanted to help. They asked me to enter a web site. Having spent almost 40 years in IT I felt it was wrong. The router does have slow moments but I had not reported it.

  • cajriley51 Jacqui Riley (@cajriley51) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to sort out the issue off my password not working and the internet dropping out for over a week. I am getting passed around in circles. Please can you tell me how much notice I need give to leave and also give me an email for complaints please

  • moorland2 Moorland (@moorland2) reported from Endon, England

    @virginmedia trying to contact you and all I keep getting is a stupid repetitive bot

  • Ohrate_Tri Chris Walton (@Ohrate_Tri) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia how do I organise a home move service. I’ve been on hold on the online chat since yesterday teatime. No one is answering or speaking to me in there.

  • iMeyrick Meyrick (@iMeyrick) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Me to the controller after reconnecting to @vatsim for the 5th time in one flight due to the virgin media outage.

  • andyvic7 Andy Picken (@andyvic7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @drummerwhitey @northernsky67 @virginmedia Steve it was a last resort for me but other avenues were fruitless, I ended up getting a visit from an engineer , a booster and a reduction in my tariff after I told them I’d leave , normal customer service is dreadful, keep on pushing them

  • xTrustBandit #bandit4president (@xTrustBandit) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia I have been a customer for 10 years over which time my broadband fees increased repeatedly every year since. I’ve just received a £3.50 increased letter on my broadband fee yet customers who are new on the same street can get the same broadband for me at £20 less per month.

  • jatrobinson83 James Robinson (@jatrobinson83) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry, it’s been a week without TV and still no-one has contacted me. You work for Virgin media - surely you must be able to find out what the issue is affecting my area? Can you speak to someone in the technical team?

    @virginmedia Yes and it was working fine 4 hours ago and only Eurosport 2 is the problem
