  • andy_dickerson Andrew Dickerson (@andy_dickerson) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Yes I did and Tuesdays fault was shown and yesterday's wasn't so how about you provide the service I pay for. If this continues I will begin getting quotes from other service providers as I am fed up of dealing with bots and spammers claiming to be from you.

  • Faeeeriee Kerys🐝🇺🇦🙏🏻 (@Faeeeriee) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Think Virgin Media just **** the bed. What’s happened?

  • AndyType2 Andy (@AndyType2) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @virginmedia Wanted to thank the lady that helped me today. The call ended and it was not me, and I really wanted to thank her. Hopefully you will pass it on, she hung on to the bitter death to help.

  • DeanCondliffe dean condliffe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@DeanCondliffe) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia John, please check my file. I’ve called several times, to be told somebody will contact you regarding your complaint. I ask to speak to a manger I’m told, none available. Appreciate this is not your fault buts it’s an utter **** show. I’ll let @Ofcom take the lead from here.

  • 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!

  • andy_dickerson Andrew Dickerson (@andy_dickerson) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Anyone know what on earth is going on with @virginmedia ATM last 2 days connections been up and down like a god knows what ?

  • MattHugheslives Matthew Hughes (@MattHugheslives) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    So @virginmedia is increasing their prices by £8.50 pm. Wouldn't mind so much if they had decent service, eifi that doesn't cut out when i go upstairs, Sky Atlantic etc. Would go with @SkyUK but their wifi doesn't like bloody copper pipes.

  • ChrisLaws1 Chris Laws (@ChrisLaws1) reported from Cheadle, England

    @virginmedia please sort your service out... I have now been on the phone to you for almost an hour. The first person hung up on me, the second was rude and useless. All for £0.01 which I don't owe. No wonder the landlords are removing virgin from all of the apartments

  • swoolly1970 Steve woolliscroft (@swoolly1970) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to watch @stokecity , I pay you good/ hard earned money for your service and this is what you give #shocking

  • timothyray 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.

  • 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 It is awful! Virgin are very expensive compared to many other TV providers yet the customer service is very poor and does NOT suite the price. I'm sick of arguing with them to get the simplest of issues resolved

  • LesleyA14768590 Lesley Arnold (@LesleyA14768590) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Ok so vigin tv is down and with error code they say ring 150, fine ring 150 as they cant tell us on line the problem but they then say ' right now we are busy, you might like to call us later......goodbye! Thanks a bunch @virginmedia, customer service not good at all

  • IXL Ian Fraser (@IXL) reported from Keele, England

    Dear @virginmedia. I’d like to cancel my account. I’ve called 4 times this afternoon, put on hold for ages and been disconnected each time. Why are you making it so hard?

  • dazholdcroft1 Daz (Oaky) Holdcroft (@dazholdcroft1) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @TerryBossons @virginmedia Since Covid no body answers phones any more crazy, shocking though that is @TerryBossons really bad costumer service and lack of information I had this with Sky very similar 2 very poor service providers with little thought of what’s going on in todays climate

  • DeanCondliffe dean condliffe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@DeanCondliffe) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia you know when a customer makes a complaint (twice) and you say that the customer will receive a phone call within 24-48hrs. Is this true or do you just make it up as you go along? Thanks.

  • 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

  • gingerjames1990 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!

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

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

    @virginmedia I had a problem a few weeks back and couldn’t get through to you because of the queues, I expect it’s the same now. I should learn my lesson and move to another provider I think.
