    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 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 !!

    @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.

    @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

  • gingerjames1990
    James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Sorry are you not reading what I am saying? Three calls in the past 90 minutes and still they either don't understand what I'm saying or refuse to take a complaint!

  • LesChaplin
    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

  • JuPo71
    Julie Podet (@JuPo71) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia your service is very poor for older people. Almost an hour and still not resolved my mum’s issues!

    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

  • mbusby993
    𝕸𝖆𝖙𝖙🏳️‍🌈 (@mbusby993) reported from Mow Cop, England

    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.

    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!!??? 🙃😠

    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

  • shent
    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...

  • 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

    Virgin Media, I have a complaint. Please tell me how I can talk to someone about resolving it. Your website is useless to do that.

  • mikey_mol
    Mikey Molfessis (@mikey_mol) reported

    @virginmedia if your technicians cannot fix a problem in 4 weeks and I get no refund and your status update says everything is fine, but multiple people in the area are affected, do me a favour and stop calling me to sell me additional services. Please.

  • expertiseontap
    Julian Wellings (@expertiseontap) reported

    @virginmedia Long time customer here (28 years). Your automated customer service line is truly awful. Now on my second iteration of the complicated menu. Had to fudge my answers to avoid going round a third time. Now on hold awaiting a real person ...⏳.

    @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

    @virginmedia for the past 24 hours I have been asking if there is an issue in my area ( BH21 ) I have explained multiple times I cannot use the service checker ( no wifi )Why will you not answer my question? I have sent several DMs at your request, but you have not responded?

    @virginmedia Would appreciate it if the issue could be resolved considering we are paying for a service that is not working at the moment, thanks.

    Neilio 🇬🇧 (@neilstitfer) reported

    Usual inhumane customer service from. @virginmedia : they sent a debt agency on me for an unpaid bill. I paid the bill. Virign claim not to have received the money. And they want ME to chase the debt collectors and they have charged me for missing another month (I haven't) filth
