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
-
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!

-
James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@reddersmufc @Ofcom @virginmedia It's awful! I'm sick of calling customer services and getting through to someone who cannot understand basic English language and goes on talking about something else. Then try to speak to three different advisers to raise a simple issue/complaint and they refuse!

Jade (@jadelr_) reported@virginmedia hi I was supposed to receive a replace box today but I haven’t yet and no tracking. Could you help please
-
Joel Sheppard (@joelshepp) reported@virginmedia @bobbyfriction Don't send a private message Bobby - have the conversation in the public domain so every current and potential customer can see how useless Virgin Media are.
-
Bill Graham (@graham69717) reported@entrustTMF @virginmedia Only way to get good service is to use BT/Open Reach as provider; but you will pay! I have had Shell, TalkTalk and now Utility Warehouse as my contract changed hands. All equally poor in their own way. At last house, in the middle of nowhere, had BT, and never had a problem.
-
entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported@karenwi17092279 Sorry to hear that, not good 😔 Yes, we rely on these things more than we realise... I had forgotten the printer, the TV box, my Spotify, heating controller, etc. all use the WiFi and workarounds for all of them need to be fashioned or just abandoned until @virginmedia fix it
-
Emma Thompson (@emmathompy) reported@virginmedia I've also tried to call your customer service helpline but it doesn't appear to recognise my account number so I can't even get through to anyone!
-
Michael Day (@JustMike2K24) reported@virginmedia My WiFi and overall service has been up and down for over 2 weeks now. I’ve done all of the trouble shooting. I’ve checked the service. I done the old switch off and on. I just need to get somebody to visit and do it as I am unable to wfh because of it.
-
entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported@virginmedia broadband outage keeps on getting worse and worse😡 After 2 days of rolling updates for the fix getting prolonged and an assurance it would be fixed by 5.30PM YESTERDAY from their helpline, they updated to 1.30 today. Now a message to say 1 PM on 29/4🤬 Unacceptable
-
Bob Moore (@RNM1947) reported@virginmedia @Craig_A_D Had 6-7 months of issues with my Virgin Media system, still payed my monthly bill and still waiting to be compensated. Not good enough.

🇬🇧 Rioja😺Chianti😽 Dracula🐱Chablis🌈 (@M1Rioja) reported@virginmedia (p2) He signed me up. Two days later I went into your O2 Store to cancel the phone part, took an hour, yet you still took £18.70 from my account and only refunded £17.40. I still haven't had a cancellation email for a broadband I did not take up. Fraudulent Underhand
