    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!

  • iwanevans
    Iwan Evans (@iwanevans) reported from Congleton, England

    @virginmedia Almost like you didn't read my original message... Your stock answer STILL doesn't ring true, just repeating the phrase I quoted in my original message to me again doesn't help one little bit

  • SoManyJoels

    @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.

    @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!

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

    @virginmedia shocked and appalled by the rude and aggressive manner of one of your agents just now during an unsolicited sales call.

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

    @virginmedia Just also discovered that even though I was told I wouldnt pay for gadget rescue & then I was charged in error. Called last weekend to sort and was told it was sorted, I’ve just been credited £5 rather than the £20 paid for initial set up. I am SO tired of this. Please fix it.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia 2/2 when modem mode was suggest I was just told it “turns off WiFi” - no help on how to fix. VPN is common from domestic WiFi - you should be clear and transparent to customers that you don’t support rather than charging for gadget rescue for something that can’t be fixed.

  • LesChaplin
    Les Chaplin (@LesChaplin) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @McGiff @virginmedia I am having exactly the same problem over roaming charges for a country I’ve not been anywhere near a, appalling service and been told tough pay or they take me to court! At my wits end!

  • hughes_nh
    Neil hughes (@hughes_nh) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @DUCKmagstoke When will people learn that virgin media it terrible compared to sky 🤔

  • LesChaplin
    Les Chaplin (@LesChaplin) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia I am not stupid I get that! However, the text I received said welcome to Greece you can use your phone exactly the same as if in the uk so I had absolutely no reason to switch roaming off when I never left the resort. I have kept the texts which state exactly that

    @Benleo @virginmedia Saw this coming a long while ago which is why I bailed when my contract finished, awful customer service and awful products, let this be a lesson to all of you on X!

  • Jenniferarcuri
    Jennifer Arcuri (@Jenniferarcuri) reported

    @Benleo @ailsybabe @virginmedia Please make an example and put them in their place. Hopefully out of buisness. Horrible company, Virginmedia.

  • Manavvv31
    Manavmeet Singh (@Manavvv31) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Nothing unites Britain quite like a shared telecom customer service horror story. The combination of endless transfers contradictory information and problems somehow getting worse after every call genuinely feels like a national experience at this point 😭 @Benleo

  • Novemberpoppy82
    Poppyfields18 (@Novemberpoppy82) reported

    @virginmedia why on earth is my internet so slow. Only been with you 2 months and it is terrible for the past 3 days. My son is trying to revise for his GCSEs for 2 exams tomorrow and this is not good. Nothing will load. Get this sorted asap

    Shaun (@shauny67) reported

    @virginmedia @RobRollin2 If you have the 1gb they are free plus most WiFi issues are due to devices & not the service. Plus you can if want put in modem mode & use your own equipment

    @Benleo @virginmedia My experience - engineer comes in to fix box. Tells me to put 'dog away!' I say 'no, she won't come into the lounge or bother you' 'Tea, coffee?' I say 'No' 'Water, fruit juice?' I add 'Fruit, fruit' he says I return with apple & banana He grabs both & puts them in his bag 🤨😖

  • ConorSwifty
    Conor Swifty (@ConorSwifty) reported

    @virginmedia hello Virgin Media had a dodgy phone call from +442045148789 saying it's Virgin/O2 trying to end contracts early for upgrading & wanted details while the lady spoke poor English & kept saying eh 24/7.

  • geoffjones7
    Geoff Jones (@geoffjones7) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I was a service engineer for many years for Virgin (formally Telewest). You most certainly do not have to renew a contract to get a cable fixed. Also the Indian call centre has been a long-standing issue for their customers. Very poor service

  • Sir_Moanalot_
    Sir Moanalot (@Sir_Moanalot_) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia They are awful. I’ve been stuck with an exorbitantly priced rolling contract because I plan to move house soon and have no idea if wherever I move to will have VM cable in the street. Zero reward for customer loyalty. When I do finally move, @virginmedia can get in the bin.
