    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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

    @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!

  • 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

  • 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!

    @AlenaCopeland_1 @virginmedia I thought once maybe an accident but twice is *************** , I haven’t got online access never been sent a bill no emails so I’m ****** , gonna have to cancel direct debit

    Ant Sheeran 🤙🏻 (@sh33ran7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve checked it each time it has occurred and there’s no problem showing, I’ve also restarted and rebooted numerous times over the last couple of days and it still intermittently just stops working.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • dazholdcroft1
    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

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

  • Laaana_bananaaa
    🍃Lana Banana🍂 (@Laaana_bananaaa) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    How ******** can Virgin Media say it's too expensive to connect us with WiFi in this area and would take them years to earn it back, when other people in the smae street have it!!??? 🙃😠

  • SharonJukes
    SBJ💙 (@SharonJukes) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Two days have now passed and they have heard nothing. They have no phone or internet and Dad is 80. Please can someone contact me and I will provide further details by DM. This is poor service for what you class as a vulnerable age group. I have tried to call you #virginmedia

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

    @Virgin_Victoria @virginmedia 1hr and 10mins later after speaking with CS they have confirmed that they cannot help me with my matter and a ticket has been raised which VM will be in touch with me by SMS within 5 working days. CS loved talking too me when I signed up a month ago. #virginmedia

  • 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

  • ChrisLaws1
    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

  • 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.

    @virginmedia My tv picture is distorted and pixelled. Been gradually getting worse since yesterday. Many of us in the M43 Manchester area having the same problem.

  • waledbinkhaled
    waledbinkhaled (@waledbinkhaled) reported

    No broadband is in my property for last 3?weeks. Constantly calling @virginmedia everyday and they are giving me new timeline every single time. Problem is not solved but only empty promises.

  • nicsavo83
    Nicola Savory (@nicsavo83) reported

    @virginmedia how can I arrange a refund for lack of service? BB & TV down for nearly 24hrs, your call centre staff have been horrendous to deal with and I am sat inside on the best day of the year so far, awaiting an engineer - with zero confidence that they’ll actually arrive!

  • ShirleySarah70
    ShirleySarah🌹🎸🦊🦔🐦⚽ (@ShirleySarah70) reported

    @JaneVCarroll @virginmedia Theyve been downright rude to me on the phone today. As soon as I can cancel my services with them the better. A customer of over 20 years and because I'm a mature 72 year old woman they speak to me as if I'm stupid. Cancelling next week.

  • trail_71

    @virginmedia Down in exeter - my TV screen keeps dropping out to black for a fraction then back on again - is line with the problems you’re having ?

  • Marcus_Campana
    m (@Marcus_Campana) reported

    @virginmedia you keep bombarding me with email about upgrading WiFi box and TV box for free . My question is if you're posting it which delivery service do you use , as som are more reliable than others and some I won't use due to things going missing in the past

  • ktstarcandy
    k⁷ (@ktstarcandy) reported

    @virginmedia hi, my Virgin Media router has turned to the red flashing light twice in 3 days - Google says this can be causes by overheating. Surely not?! Please help as I can’t stream TV either until it sorts itself out. Thanks

  • drdjmarks
    Skids (@drdjmarks) reported

    I've had half a dozen or so emails from @virginmedia in the last 6 months offering me a new hub at no extra cost. Each time I'm asked to click the link to order, but each time it merely takes me through to my current service status with no option to order? Extremely annoying.
