  • 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

  • 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

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

    We stopped paying @virginmedia the£90 for what in fairness was complete crap and have bought a Manhattan @FreeviewTV box and couldn’t be happier. We would never go back to virgin or sky for their overpriced TV service

  • 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

  • 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!

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

  • 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.

  • richiechuff Richie Knight (@richiechuff) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia You don’t see chuff all in stoke because of how **** your service as become constant buffering issues now for months How do we claim refunds for loss of service

  • 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

  • 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

  • LiamDrumm Liam Drumm (@LiamDrumm) reported

    @virginmedia It wasn't short lasting it was a couple of hours and I paid for a whole event and undercard not just the main fight. Terrible customer service from @virginmedia yet again.

  • katy_morris Katy Morris (@katy_morris) reported

    @virginmedia Day 4: Still no internet more than 96 hours after the fault first occurred; still enjoying hearing about your commitments to “excellent customer service”; still loving the way the system cuts you off after being on hold for more than two hours

  • davidpolymath David Parker (@davidpolymath) reported

    @virginmedia do you currently have problems in GU21 as the internet is going down a lot for the last few hours, not just me but also others are reporting.

  • wendmalc2k Liam Woodrow (@wendmalc2k) reported

    @virginmedia So I was promised an engineer out today, I have just called to confirm and my account is now showing as ‘complete’ ... shocking customer services from @virginmedia

  • harri_bhafc Harri (@harri_bhafc) reported

    Never using @virginmedia for anything again. A new problem every bloody month, horrendously unreliable service and to top it off, my nan, without knowing, answered the landline to a scam number and racked up £50 in charges, to which Virgin simply said it was my nans fault...

  • zdlifestyle_ ZDLifestyle (@zdlifestyle_) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and that takes me back to square one - being on hold for over an hour only to be cut off. I will be making an official complaint

  • SophieS84497909 SophieShannon (@SophieS84497909) reported

    @virginmedia I’m now being passed to and from your ‘customer service’ number. How long does it take to effectively resolve an issue? @bt_uk what’s your connection like in Colchester?
