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

    @virginmedia I’m sick of resetting that hub it’s supposed to be 100mb fibre I had less trouble with my dial up! Do you supply boosters as you can take it out before I spend money to make up for your awful service

  • 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

  • williamtm Will Hook (@williamtm) reported from Crewe, England

    @serenium @virginmedia Lots of ISPs don’t support it, not just VM.

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

    @McGiff @virginmedia I am having exactly the same problem over roaming charges for a country I’ve not been anywhere near a, appalling service and been told tough pay or they take me to court! At my wits end!

  • 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!

  • andyvic7 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!!

  • 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

  • FowldsSimon Santa Sime 🎅🏻🎄 (@FowldsSimon) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia why was I not informed of changes to my package. I’ve got the full house package which included kids tv. Name changed to maxit and now no kids Tv. Thank god we have amazon and Netflix which has kids stuff on. Don’t watch either on Virgin as it’s so slow.

  • SoManyJoels Joel Womsley (@SoManyJoels) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    Hey @virginmedia wifi has been down for 12 hours box has been reset several times, any idea what the problem is : ST5 postcode

  • Mountain1863 Shaun Mountain (@Mountain1863) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia Not even a DM asking for contact details to discuss further @Ofcom & @CISASUK have been informed and will be supporting with furthering my complaint. Hopefully my followers will see these tweets and avoid your black Friday sales 👌👍 even if only one person avoids the #scammers

  • 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

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

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

  • PPowellfamily Denise Powell (@PPowellfamily) reported from Barlaston, England

    @virginmedia 2 houses in the same street no Internet or broadband. Your call centre claims the fault to be in my home. #3rd class service

  • HibbsA Anthony Hibbs (@HibbsA) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @Paulout @BT @virginmedia I can’t believe how bad BT have been over this. Advisors just seem to want to keep you talking even after taking 20+ mins to get through and then do nothing for you. Proper fed up 🙁

  • 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 !!

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

    @virginmedia Didn’t think your service could get worse.Wifi is now completely unusable.Getting 3mb wired into a Xbox one.Still got considerable amount of tv channels not working.All for £100 per month.What an absolute disgrace

  • 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.

  • AleeOwnzz Alee (@AleeOwnzz) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @toastwiz @virginmedia Gotta be a pretty big issue to take 10 days Jesus

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

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

  • Alison03310661 Alison (@Alison03310661) reported

    @virginmedia im done with being in hold with you guys ! Iv posted a letter to cancel my contract, I will cancel the DD after last payment due! I haven't agreed to any new contract that you emailed me today saying I had as that would actually having to speak to someone!

  • keifrb SpecialK (@keifrb) reported

    @virginmedia On the line, listening to your selection of 4 songs while waiting 1hour 3mins only for my call to be cleared. Same yesterday, twice. Absolutely horrific service. No wonder I'm cancelling.

  • jo11oyd PurpleRainbow (@jo11oyd) reported

    @virginmedia Can I just cancel my DD as I have spent all today trying to get in touch with a human? Or can someone contact me?

  • hbwdefenceless Cait (@hbwdefenceless) reported

    Not them mentioning Harry and Olivia on virgin media and me accidentally going on a massive rant and ended up somehow talking about the cancelled Belfast concert I don’t know what rabbit I went down in my head I really don’t

  • GredB Christopher Forsyth (@GredB) reported

    @virginmedia really poor customer service, disappointing your increasing your price only 1 month into an 18 month contract, I’d rather you’d told me before I signed up.

  • Katsuefox Katsue Fox 🇮🇲 WeAreStillEuropean 🇪🇺 #FBPE (@Katsuefox) reported

    @JolyonMaugham @virginmedia All of these companies who are not prepared to help out PAYG users disgust me. These are likely to be the people who can least afford to pay for data regularly, and also some of them might not even have home broadband, as they don't have PCs/laptops

  • GoMcMahon #DocMartin (@GoMcMahon) reported

    @virginmedia A. Netflix/Amazon Prime not working properly. B. Account says I have Player TV package. ../channels/existing lists I have: Gold HD, Eden (+1,HD), W, Turbo, E! but I cannot select any on my V6 box, & have never been able to. So, I've been paying for something I don't have.

  • goldfish_jules Jules Meredith🇪🇺🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@goldfish_jules) reported

    @virginmedia I have now been cut off again (after 43 minutes). I have tried to text but am told i'm in a queue. Pulling my hair out at your shocking customer service.

  • bootiesatkins22 Jellybean (@bootiesatkins22) reported

    @virginmedia No, I tried to cancel as you do not have the equipment to install. I went from dept to dept, then to be cut off. Just called now spent another hr only to be cut off again. I've emailed your CEO! lets hope he doesnt ignore me

  • bootiesatkins22 Jellybean (@bootiesatkins22) reported

    After trying to get through for 40 mins, I speak to an agent who goes off to say they will speak to a supervisor to help and after 54 mins, they cut me off, clearly no one cares at Virgin #badcustomerservice #virginmedia @ShieldVoC
