  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia hi can someone please message me?? I need help with my bill! You've been overcharging me every month for the last 12 months!!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • beth_emma_ Beth Emma (@beth_emma_) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia my internet is down, again 🙃 I'm in ST4

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia do any of your technical support staff have the first clue what they’re on about?

  • 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

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

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

  • whipblue Julie Leech (@whipblue) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

  • 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 ?

  • 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

  • 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

  • gingerjames1990 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!

  • brecon_house Claire Perry (@brecon_house) reported

    @virginmedia A member of your team changed our package instead of reducing our monthly bill as requested and now you want us to foot the bill for their dishonest commission gaining change. Unbelievable! Complaint incoming and a warning to others.

  • theBritMOG who knows (@theBritMOG) reported

    @virginmedia Yup. Cable outside had no signal so some subcontractors turned up and pulled a new one through. It’s no the bit from the wall of my house to that cable’s outlet. Had a survey done so the engineer should have known four weeks ago what is needed

  • LadyP57684778 Lady P (@LadyP57684778) reported

    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia @o2 I have spent 2 hours and counting trying to cancel my services. Spoken to 5 people How can I cancel without having to send a letter in the post? This is disability discrimination. #virginmedia #discriminates #poocustomerservices
