    @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.

    @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

    Andy Picken (@andyvic7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia just had the misfortune to speak to the rudest person ever whilst trying to sort out my abysmal connection speed when she put the phone down on me after a 20 minute wait!!

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

    Anyone know what on earth is going on with @virginmedia ATM last 2 days connections been up and down like a god knows what ?

  • andy_dickerson
    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.

    @zebadee1985 @virginmedia Virgin Media, fastest speeds but slowest customer service. It’s a massive shame, it really lets them down.

    @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.

  • 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

    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

  • 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

    @soundoftheatom @dec1878 Don’t go to @virginmedia My 78 dads doesn’t work or his broadband. He is deaf and can’t talk to them on the phone but they won’t send an engineer out. Happy to take his money though. They’ll sit up when I cancel it tomorrow

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Newsflash, @EE is also ridiculous with shady contracts. I hope you never get to cross hairs with them.

  • CBTwizard
    Shelton (@CBTwizard) reported

    Good @Ofcom 28 million fined to the parasites that are Virgin Media. Good. I have been victim to this horrible pass on pass on (6+ hours on the phone) department to department and back to start again, as well as a 2 year new contract without my consent (early termination £500 being chased for, after 2000+ disconnections in a month, email proof, text proof, delayed line fixes) list goes on. Parasites, charging elderly people £70+ for like 100mb Maybe @MartinSLewis applied some well deserved pressure. If I'm not mistaken @dshensmith had issues too.

  • _James_Jones_
    Jimmy Jones (@_James_Jones_) reported

    @AdamT1875 @virginmedia Correct! I managed to use Starbucks WiFi to send the message. I reckon their own staff are also suffering with poor connections due to not responding after requesting info... they are currently arguing the toss on chat saying, you sure its not in the box? GAPING HOLE SAYS NO!

  • Lifeline04India
    MR COOL (@Lifeline04India) reported

    @virginmedia Team I am waiting for 5 days it’s still the same. Can u help me to fix the issue? I don’t know if it’s connected to router.

  • hellosunshine52
    Elle 🌸🗽 (@hellosunshine52) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine how hard all this is. For your info with regard to your issue - virgin media have just been fined £28m for preventing people ending their contracts. Perhaps talks to the culture internally that you are describing

  • ape_steinUK
    Jackson Lamb’s Coat (@ape_steinUK) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Virgin are poisonous. We have 1 GB, we’re lucky if we get half that, hard wired. The patronising pleb on the phone said “you must be too far away from the router” I’ve just had a renewal quote for 48.99 a month but a new customer can get it 29.99 (on the website as we speak) Scum
