-
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
-
Ian Fraser (@IXL) reported from Keele, EnglandDear @virginmedia. I’d like to cancel my account. I’ve called 4 times this afternoon, put on hold for ages and been disconnected each time. Why are you making it so hard?
-
Andy (@AndyType2) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England@virginmedia Wanted to thank the lady that helped me today. The call ended and it was not me, and I really wanted to thank her. Hopefully you will pass it on, she hung on to the bitter death to help.

Ant Sheeran 🤙🏻 (@sh33ran7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia what is happening with your broadband?? I don’t pay stupid amounts of money each month for it not to work!!!!!
-
💻gremlins r us💻 (@PlumbousSkin) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia Weve had an engineer out, he replaced our router then buggered off. The problems kept happening even with a new router.. its been months of calling & faffing around trying to get this problem fixed & still nothing, its a joke.
-
Alena (@AlenaCopeland_1) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@Turnerandhooch @virginmedia Shocking service they are
-
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.
-
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
-
Beth Emma (@beth_emma_) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, EnglandThis is ******* painful @virginmedia were in the middle of a lock down sort yourselves out 🤬
-
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
-
Wayne Thomas (@martialartnerd) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia absolutely shocking treatment when trying to sort an upgrade out, asked to speak to the manager was told I can't sniggered at and the phone was then put down... we have three contracts Internet and tv with you safe to say we won't be renewing
-
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.
-
dean condliffe 🏴 (@DeanCondliffe) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@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.
-
Kerys🐝🇺🇦🙏🏻 (@Faeeeriee) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, EnglandThink Virgin Media just **** the bed. What’s happened?
-
Matthew Hughes (@MattHugheslives) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, EnglandSo @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.
-
Jessica Oliver (@Jess_L_Oliver) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England@virginmedia I’ve now got an “intermittent signal issue” message
-
Moorland (@moorland2) reported from Endon, EnglandWe 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
-
Robot Monkey (@BeppoMonkeyBoy) reported from Bucknall, England@virginmedia shocking service already thinking of cancelling, and I’ve not even been setup yet. I’d avoid, maybe I’ll talk to the other fiber in my area, I think they are a lot cheaper.
-
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.
-
James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@reddersmufc @Ofcom @virginmedia It is awful! Virgin are very expensive compared to many other TV providers yet the customer service is very poor and does NOT suite the price. I'm sick of arguing with them to get the simplest of issues resolved

P4J (@pri_janes) reported@virginmedia is there an issue in the TS15 area? How is one to doom scroll on TikTok efficiently with no internets?
-
Jon Pitts (@briavelsjon) reported@mandychoccy @virginmedia Sounds potentially like a comprehensive set of fixes. Ideal solution is to have a tech onsite when you have the problem. Easier said than done, though.
-
A Dunlop Landscapes 🌳⚒️🧱 (@alanfdunlop) reported@ifeeltheneed_ Mine has been offline for the last two months, had an upgrade of virgin media that came with a new WiFi connection. That coincided with my surgery, managed to have the new hub up & running with some help but haven’t been able to access the solar inverter to reset so far.
-
Owly McHoot (@OwlyMcHoot) reported@mobily_uk @virginmedia Way back 30 years ago I worked for cable and wireless up at Seacroft; the retentions team called themselves The Dream Team; they got a bonus for each customer who threatened to cancel they converted to a retention-when you call, drive that deal down as they have a lot of scope.
-
Jenny Roberts (@Miss_JRO85) reported@virginmedia no WiFi since 7am yesterday. Engineer appointment cancelled without me being told. I’ve now been told wait 48 more hours to see if the problem fixes itself. 4 hours on the phone to customer service and just been hung up on. Awful customer service.
-
BigF (@Bigg_F_) reported@virginmedia Yes. Eventually got through via chat to a real person. They advised a factory reset of hub which is a complete pain to set back up and it made no difference. Engineer arranged to come today. I also raised a formal complaint. Mysteriously it’s working two hours later.

-
kaitan kohli (@KaitanKohli) reported@virginmedia VM! I need your help. Since the supposed digital switch over, my vulnerable, elderly parents landline hasn't worked. Over the last 2 days I've spent 3 hours on the phone to be told by your CS that the line is fine. I need a solution!
