-
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!
-
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
-
Neil evans EVO (@neilevo18781967) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia It was with regards to my services.. When I phoned about it the lack of professionalism was horrendous.. When I mentioned the lack of professionalism I was basically told what is your problem. Awful really

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.
-
sean cosgrove (@mymodlifecrisis) reported from Congleton, EnglandSo @virginmedia don’t understand my 78 year old deaf father cannot call them. They call me as asked out of the blue and tell me they can’t fix the broadband problem, they WONT send an engineer out and I’m getting upset because I’m not hearing what I want. They got that right x
-
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!

-
Sean Milroy (@Seanster1984) reported@virginmedia why are you telling people to get a booster after upgrading to 360 when a box is connected to its router through Ethernet cable? Ethernet connection is better. Wi-Fi is a luxury. People are paying over odds for service but you want them to pay more? Get a grip!!
-
Irvine sparrow (@IrvineSparrow) reported@virginmedia so I’m trying to cancel my contract and I’m speaking to Soyinka Sheffield but their English is so bad I can hardly understand them. Apparently she is the only person that can deal with me. Thank god I’m leaving ( well I hope I am ) !!

-
Jamie Friery (@TheJamieFriery) reported@virginmedia any particular reason why I received no response from your executive team for 2 days? Must say, level of customer service is appalling and I think maybe I'd be better off with @SkyUK
-
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.
-
Addy (@iadnan9) reported@virginmedia @HawtinStewart Reported an issue 2 months ago and only just received a response. The advice given was unhelpful, careless, and frankly unprofessional. The issue is still ongoing with Now being told it could take another 28 days for a follow-up. Completely unacceptable and a waste of time.
-
Stevie Leon 🌳 (@sme30) reported@lelly401 @virginmedia @NetflixUK No i had it separately. Then my virgin bill had a netflix subscription on it. I asked them to cancel as I hadn't taken netflix with them. Now my regular subscription has been downgraded to standard!!!
-
Claire Wilson (@choc1982) reported@virginmedia I am absolutely disgusted in the service I have been receiving over the last week. I have been with you 12 years and calls have been cut off. WhatsApp chats have been ended while trying to go over offers. Which may I say are shocking. You get nothing for being loyal.
-
simon bennett (@felixeemopener) reported@virginmedia every weekend the signal drops. Every weekend “ intermittent signal in your area” EVERY WEEKEND… why can’t you fix this? Why is it still going on? Or do you want us to switch to community fibre??
-
Stanley Percival Simmonds (@simmo1024) reported@Prosperity_Inst This is a question for parents, and parents should have the ability to enforce their decision. See Virgin Media, they have the ability to block social media. Government needs to force all ISPs, especially phone service providers, do provide the same, and turn it on by default. The bill-payer (e.g. the parents) then get to choose which sites to permit. What is not required is digital ID for everyone.
