  • gaznolan
    Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia fully and reasonably, the agent response was "oh okay" and put the phone down. How do I make a formal complaint about the atrocious service you guys offer? (2/2)

  • Shaunelious
    Shaun Calvert (@Shaunelious) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Red button for virgin, which I know isn’t true as I’ve used it before. I asked to raise complaints several times to which they just ignored before eventually saying they would raise one. He then said it was raised. Never known a complaint raised without someone describing it…

    @virginmedia why is the red button not working tonight for sky sports?

  • UKLightCreation
    Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Rebooting does nothing and service status page says nothing and if it was to do with that it would mean you owe me 5 years worth of credit notes

    ScottPhoto (@smarshallphoto) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @gracedavies I had a dream that I Met a Boy Online was used by Virgin Media in a TV advert, and you got paid a ****-ton of money. Does that count?

  • mark770
    Mark Walker (@mark770) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia JS, have you taken the time to read the thread through? It would appear not as your previous colleague intimated that you would be looking at auto-comp issue when I notified you that the issue had been resolved though you mentioned nothing about that.

  • WheezyRider44

  • mobily_uk
    James Turpin (@mobily_uk) reported

    Hey @virginmedia why do we have to do this dance every year? £66 per month increasing to £148?? I cancel, you offer me a similar deal to what I had and we move on. Why not just offer it up front? None of this pretend nonsense!

  • danielgoble
    Daniel Goble (@danielgoble) reported

    @mobily_uk @virginmedia The whole point is to just get you locked into another deal. You threaten to switch and then they lower it and hope you fall for it...all while they try to upsell **** TV packages that nobody wants.

  • AlloquiStrix
    Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported

    @virginmedia and another update just received saying it will be fixed today. Honestly, make your mind up. The BB service is excellent when it works. When it doesn't you guys seem to take a trip to the local brewery and drink lemonde!

  • iPaulTweeting
    iPaulTweeting (@iPaulTweeting) reported

    Here’s an idea @virginmedia if the question your bots are asking have no relevance to the question you asked perhaps one of the options presented could be ‘talk to a human’? Also, although I’m not really that bothered that your support staff are not English please note that it does not aid understanding

  • kingoftheshed
    Paul Parkin (@kingoftheshed) reported

    @virginmedia What? On and off for the past 8 days? It just went down again 5 minutes ago. Fix it and compensate me let me leave.

  • sme30
    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!!!

  • alanfdunlop
    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.

    CymroGlyn 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏉🍾♿️ (@cymroglyn) reported

    @virginmedia I'm raising a complaint about the way my problem was handled. But you still need to do something about the account that I said is imitating you. You are enabling them to scam your customers out of money. Some customers will no doubt lose a significant amount belly.

    @virginmedia I may have solved the issue with DMs

  • iadnan9
    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.
