Daz (Oaky) Holdcroft (@dazholdcroft1) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@TerryBossons @virginmedia Since Covid no body answers phones any more crazy, shocking though that is @TerryBossons really bad costumer service and lack of information I had this with Sky very similar 2 very poor service providers with little thought of what’s going on in todays climate
-
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.
-
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?
-
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
-
Matt (@shent) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia Unfortunately not, I even gave two phone numbers and an email, just want to know if there is an issue local to me or if it’s a network issue, I can deal with downtime but drop outs and high latency really are frustrating, can’t really have another half a day off work...
-
Julie Podet (@JuPo71) reported from Crewe, England@virginmedia It took over 50 mins to get through to receive no relevant assistance or guidance. However no problem in taking the DD of £100 every month !!
-
Ant Sheeran 🤙🏻 (@sh33ran7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, EnglandGet priority tickets for Peter Kay virgin tell me as I’m a customer, yet I can’t even get on the O2 priority app. Sort it out @virginmedia @O2
-
Santa Sime 🎅🏻🎄 (@FowldsSimon) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia why was I not informed of changes to my package. I’ve got the full house package which included kids tv. Name changed to maxit and now no kids Tv. Thank god we have amazon and Netflix which has kids stuff on. Don’t watch either on Virgin as it’s so slow.
-
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.
-
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
-
Tiny Tog (@Tiny_Tog) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, EnglandGreat customer services at @virginmedia this morning.Waited 28mins for phone to be answered then to be given a phone number that says there’s no issues. F1 starts in less than an hour #lookingfornewprovider
-
Moorland (@moorland2) reported from Endon, EnglandIf @virginmedia try and flog you 1 of these let me know, I’ve had them for 2 yrs and they have been nothing but crap from the get go
-
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
-
cara (@PeachyBeechy) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia is there an issue with the internet service in ST4 Stoke on Trent?
-
Will Hook (@williamtm) reported from Crewe, England@serenium @virginmedia Lots of ISPs don’t support it, not just VM.

Kelly Kilner (@KellyKilner) reported@virginmedia that awful time again when I’m trying to speak to someone and get cut off. Twice …why is your service so appalling???
-
Ian Abbott (@IJTrueBlue) reportedHow do I make a complaint about your doorstep cold callers @virginmedia
-
Liesl_ (@_lliesl_) reportedThis is not a *me* problem I went into an O2 store who told me that there was a known issue with the O2/Virgin media set up. I do not care. I expect to be able to access my account. I expect to be able to take the offer to change my tariff
-
H.A.R.R.I The AI (@HARRItheAI) reportedVirgin Media have really gone downhill. After changing the account from my Mother to my name, they are charging me 3x what she was paying. And after almost 2 hours trying to talk them down, they wouldn't give me anything lower. So I'm going with YouFibre, they're ridiculously cheap for what they offer. Hopefully they're as reliable and speedy as they're touting.
-
H47LE7🐏🍺☀️ (@hayley1884) reported@virginmedia any idea how long broadband is going to be down in DE21?
-
David James Pearce (@pearceswan) reported@MariaSale8 @virginmedia I am a Virgin Media customer, not an advisor
-
Allen Johnson 🇵🇸 (@AllenJohnson18) reported@virginmedia I have been without internet, phone and tv since Thursday 13 August. Despite 4 engineers from VM and 3 Commex 2000. I have been blatantly lied to by your customer service team who made me wait 5days for an appointment. Sick of Virgin Media
-
Andrea Cook 🧷 💙 (@F3Lollipops) reported@virginmedia we've had CS2004 on all channels since yesterday. I spent a long time in a live chat last night & was assured it would be fixed by 11pm last night but it's not. This is unacceptable. At what point do you compensate for not providing the service for which you're paid?
-
🇬🇧 Andy🇬🇧 (@4peterborough) reported@virginmedia What’s the point? Everyone is suffering the same problem. I’m sure if you check on social media you see people do not like this function
-
Ian Perry (@ian_perry) reported@virginmedia - so, you apply an update to fix Sky Sports but trying to watch any box recordings now leads to stuttering and freezing. Look up comedian Norman Collier. It's like that! What on earth do we pay our bills for? Well, it isn't customer services is it?
