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

    @virginmedia Yes absolutely, soon as we landed I got the message saying I was in Greece and could use my mobile exactly the same as in the UK. At no point did it say to check for other countries in case they stole my network! I had been on the same network all week from 26th August

    Get 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

  • 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

  • BarryWi32733397
    Barry Williams (@BarryWi32733397) reported from Hixon, England

    @staffsbrewery @unicom @openreach I walked away from BT Infinity in my Hixon village as soon as Virgin Media was available the Service from BT was not good to say the least and i safe money with VM compared to my monthly charges from BT and Sky

    @virginmedia Is anyone answering your phones???!!!!!!. I've been hanging on for 35 minutes. Disgusting customer service.

    @StaffordTownUK @virginmedia It’s virgin media..... same reason I left..... my speed was awful

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Tiny_Tog
    Tiny Tog (@Tiny_Tog) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia I’m glad it sorted itself out as the customer service woman said id need a new hub which she said she’d order and would arrive Tuesday (6/8/19). Which it hasn’t. I’m glad I didn’t need it #virginmedia

  • JuPo71

    @virginmedia very disappointed with your level of service to an elderly disabled customer. Drafting a complaint that will be with your shortly.

  • mbusby993

    Hey @virginmedia, please install fibre lines in Mow Cop (ST7) so I can get rid of PlusNet. Had to change from Virgin Broadband when we moved, and I never had a single issue. Sick of PlusNet outages now.

  • Knightfight7
    David Knight (@Knightfight7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia £100 per month for WiFi that is virtually unusable and tv where five of my paid sports channels and three movie channels are unwatchable.Shocking service

    Think Virgin Media just **** the bed. What’s happened?

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • jamesjohara
    James O'Hara (@jamesjohara) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    Er....@virginmedia it's not working!

  • MattHugheslives
    Matthew Hughes (@MattHugheslives) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    So @virginmedia is increasing their prices by £8.50 pm. Wouldn't mind so much if they had decent service, eifi that doesn't cut out when i go upstairs, Sky Atlantic etc. Would go with @SkyUK but their wifi doesn't like bloody copper pipes.

    @virginmedia you know when a customer makes a complaint (twice) and you say that the customer will receive a phone call within 24-48hrs. Is this true or do you just make it up as you go along? Thanks.

    Crafty (@ACraftyOne) reported

    @virginmedia and here we are today. Radio silence from your exec team no deadlock and letter plus further incompetence with my complaint. Sending me the same response back does not magically solve the issue.

  • honestdan07
    HonestDan (@honestdan07) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Put a complaint of harassment and as executor you have suffered additional upset and stress from the constant emails or letters and that you had correctly notified them some time ago. Also make a complaint to ofcom and trading standards.

  • GR_BEAR1979
    GR-Bear🏆x55 (@GR_BEAR1979) reported

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 Horrible Company !! Will never go back to them. After their 18 month introductory offer, they turned into absolute ***** !! Even when I left the chased me for all sorts

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Truly appalling, nobody needs this when grieving, service is dire in all sectors and worsening but there are no words for this....

    Tino 🐧🌋 (@TinoElduderino) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia They will offer you login to the website new deal if you do the chat with an agent or speak to some in the phone if you are willing to lock in for a new contract.

    KellySeven 🦘🍁 (@KellySeven3) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia When my husband died @Optus (Australian telco) harassed me for about two years about his bill and phone. Years. Told them over and over and over that he was dead. It was awful.

    @Smiffy_1969 @rpaton310 You can access HBO Max on your Virgin TV 360 or Stream box by downloading the app and subscribing separately. Unlike Sky, Virgin Media does not bundle the HBO Max streaming service into standard TV packages
