    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

    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.

    @reddersmufc @Ofcom @virginmedia Virgin Media have gone down massively! The amount they charge doesn't represent the customer experience at all!

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

    @virginmedia I signed up and got my install on Saturday the 2nd. I was trying to login to my account via the App and through a webpage with me not hearing anything regarding my first billing process And it's not letting me do so I just get an error message saying that my user does not exist.

    @virginmedia Sorry doesn't fix the problem

    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

    Tim Ray (@timothyray) reported from Tean, England

    @Cassetteboy @virginmedia Imagine being that crap a company that you don't realise the damage you do to @virginmedia's reputation when you piss off someone with 77k Twitter followers.

  • PlumbousSkin
    💻gremlins r us💻 (@PlumbousSkin) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia I experience this problem all the time. Our phones dont connect, our internet randomly drops out, this isnt a new problem. Just a frustrating one. Everytime we 'monitor it for a week then check back' nothing is ever fixed. Its just a bad service in general.

  • sh33ran7
    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.

  • paramattharri84
    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

  • sophiebridgett
    Sophie Bridgett (@sophiebridgett) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Still terrible. I've followed the instructions once signed in online however consistently dipping. :(

  • shent
    Matt (@shent) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia how is the admin panel so slow on the hub 3.0, it’s actually terrible and has been since release 😒 I can’t even access my DHCP settings

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

    @Ofcom how the hell can @virginmedia seriously refuse to allow customers to raise a complaint??? This is bloody awful!!!!!!! Two calls and both calls refuse to allow me to raise a formal complaint!!! Both call takers clearly in a different country and have issues understanding

  • cajriley51
    Jacqui Riley (@cajriley51) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Why cant someone just ring me so I can actually explain what the problem is. When I try and light in it does not recognize my mothers maiden name and I'm sure I have got that right so then I cant get any further

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

    @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 !!

  • 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

    Dave (@Kaisah16) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Cancel. Call retentions a week later. Dont go via live chat. I was offered £2 a month more than I was offered in my account (£34) by Mohammed on live chat., after an arduous conversation. A nice chap from Scotland over the phone gave me it for £28 a month. Done in 2 minutes.

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 That’s an excuse, not a reason. Nobody cares if your records were not fully updated, that’s your problem.

  • TyredMark
    Mark Hall (@TyredMark) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Same with me, I got put through to cancellations and told I wouldn’t get a better price than what they offered. Next morning I then had a call and they gave me a cheaper price than a new customer offer with doubled Internet speed. If you follow me I’ll message you the number.

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Virgin customer service is awful

  • Lfc93Werb
    werb (@Lfc93Werb) reported

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 Chatting ****. My credit rating got destroyed after I left O2 and they sorted all the paperwork then years later a mistake on their end had them deciding I hadn't and they invented a debt and solid it to a debt company. All phone companies are massive scam artists

  • kevdev83
    K D (@kevdev83) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Hilarious your being charged at all with service down for a week or two now nationally they should stick some of that cash in the hackers bank so service can resume

  • Vikk3rs146
    Mark vix (@Vikk3rs146) reported

    @Refan80 @virginmedia Makes me sick mate ..they know the issue and just sit there being dumb and stating the obvious

  • skihippy
    Skihippy loves flops (@skihippy) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia When my grandfather died and my dad tried to cancel his phone contract, the company said they needed the written approval of the contract owner. My dad said that this will be difficult because he’s already buried and the grave has a pretty heavy stone cover…

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Bad robot.

  • freeITstafford
    Free I.T. Stafford (@freeITstafford) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia I tried that trick, and they told me my address will be stored and I'll always be classed as "existing" even if I moved provider then came back, so I would never be eligible for a "new customer" deal. The only way to be a "new customer" is to move house and recontract.
