    @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!

    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

  • Jess_L_Oliver
    Jessica Oliver (@Jess_L_Oliver) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @virginmedia I’ve now got an “intermittent signal issue” message

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

    @virginmedia Why cant someone just ring me so I can actually explain what the problem is. When I try and light in it does not recognize my mothers maiden name and I'm sure I have got that right so then I cant get any further

  • mymodlifecrisis
    sean cosgrove (@mymodlifecrisis) reported from Congleton, England

    @virginmedia I’ll cancel the contract and they will soon be on the phone with threats. Bring it on. I’m ready for you

  • mymodlifecrisis
    sean cosgrove (@mymodlifecrisis) reported from Congleton, England

    So @virginmedia don’t understand my 78 year old deaf father cannot call them. They call me as asked out of the blue and tell me they can’t fix the broadband problem, they WONT send an engineer out and I’m getting upset because I’m not hearing what I want. They got that right x

  • 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!

  • Andreaeday
    Andrea Day (@Andreaeday) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia <sigh> suppose I really shouldn’t have thought that you would provide a good customer service experience based on my experience of my recent dealings. Sad; Virgin Media used to be pretty awesome. Disappointed.

  • 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!

  • mymodlifecrisis
    sean cosgrove (@mymodlifecrisis) reported from Mow Cop, England

    @soundoftheatom @dec1878 Don’t go to @virginmedia My 78 dads doesn’t work or his broadband. He is deaf and can’t talk to them on the phone but they won’t send an engineer out. Happy to take his money though. They’ll sit up when I cancel it tomorrow

  • Mountain1863
    Shaun Mountain (@Mountain1863) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia Not even a DM asking for contact details to discuss further @Ofcom & @CISASUK have been informed and will be supporting with furthering my complaint. Hopefully my followers will see these tweets and avoid your black Friday sales 👌👍 even if only one person avoids the #scammers

  • andytideswell
    Cook Pass Babtridge (@andytideswell) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia absolutely awful service. So much for looking after elderly and vulnerable customers. Trying to sell services that are not needed or wanted.

  • Turnerandhooch
    turnerandhooch® (@Turnerandhooch) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @virginmedia Still no reply , direct debit now cancelled migjt@get a phone call now . Useless organisation never again

  • 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

  • chasplummer1
    chas plummer (@chasplummer1) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @virginmedia 2 days intermittent internet service. Website not available to register complaints

  • paramattharri84
    Matt Harrison (@paramattharri84) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia No! I'm not a customer its @KezMH who you need to apologise to. Seemingly your lack of ability to even read this thread properly emphasises your lack of ability to provide acceptable customer service

  • adam_bocca
    Adam Bocca (@adam_bocca) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia I signed up and got my install on Saturday the 2nd. I was trying to login to my account via the App and through a webpage with me not hearing anything regarding my first billing process And it's not letting me do so I just get an error message saying that my user does not exist.

My dog was safe that short period as it was with a female and her dog. IN THAT period I was in business courts Northampton on written using Supreme Court high seat colour and symbols on documents; more than 13 case numbers (while others thought I was in some kind of gym bet!

    After 25 years with @virginmedia it’s time to say 👋. Relocating your customer services to SE Asia a few years back was a stupid move, I have wasted hours waiting and talking to your reps. Even now I must do the leg work to find a better deal. You should be phoning me to keep me.
