    @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!

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

    @virginmedia Again have you read anything iv said????? THREE CALLS to your customer services and all connected to off shore people who have either not got a clue what a complaint is or refused to log one for me! Instead of repeating yourself sort it out! @Ofcom #poorcustomerservice

  • 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 🙁

  • 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. :(

  • 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

    sean cosgrove (@mymodlifecrisis) reported from Congleton, England

    @virginmedia apparently I have to be at my dads house. Well that would be a long shot as I live 20 miles away and have to work. So they WONT help a 78 year old deaf man. Richard Branson. You’ll be 78 one day and no ****** will help you.

    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!!

  • J9PVFC
    J9PVFC (@J9PVFC) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia recently downgraded my broadband package, but my Volt package hasn’t been reapplied to my account. Can you help as O2 show it’s active, but no options on your help site that direct me to someone to fix.

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

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

  • ianmorris04
    Ian Morris (@ianmorris04) reported from Checkley, England

    @JimBrowning11 @virginmedia @KolkataPolice They are also targeting sky customers, was seeing my mum phone went internet, today my house phone, same ****. Be careful people.

  • RichardGannon23
    Richard Gannon (@RichardGannon23) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @virginmedia my broadband and TV services seem to be down again since 5am

  • iwanevans
    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

  • 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

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

    @drummerwhitey @northernsky67 @virginmedia Steve it was a last resort for me but other avenues were fruitless, I ended up getting a visit from an engineer , a booster and a reduction in my tariff after I told them I’d leave , normal customer service is dreadful, keep on pushing them

  • 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

    @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.
