    @coachcarter1977 @virginmedia @SkyUK Ohh they are shite if you need to talk to anyone for sure . I'm just lucky with the service.

  • ConradBetton Conrad Betton (@ConradBetton) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia promised a call back from tech support “within 30 minutes” at 11.30am today. Still waiting... your customer service really is embarrassing time and time again. Same fault, different day. @sky a million miles ahead.

  • davidfiggins David Figgins 🌱🌎💚 (@davidfiggins) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I start watching movies on the sky store, then around 20-30 minutes in its says there's a connection issue and disconnects completely, not allowing me to get back on. It comes back on about 5 minutes later.

  • cicismith81 Careen 'Cici' Smith (@cicismith81) reported from Manchester, England

    @ViktheViking1 @virginmedia Been annoying all day then it went off. Been restarting for the past-hour on hold to cust service no ones picking up. It’s working NOW 😡😡😡

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia @JBarksfield They understand your frustration, you phone the "support" after they have run out of their limited ideas they pretend they can't hear you on the phone when you hear hello, hello, prepare to be hung up on, trash, trash.

  • davidfiggins David Figgins 🌱🌎💚 (@davidfiggins) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia The other services work fine. I have no issues with connectivity other than when streaming on demand shows/movies. The only assistance I need is for you to sort your streaming service.

  • Andy_P_Taylor Andrew Taylor (@Andy_P_Taylor) reported from Salford, England

    Having an absolute nightmare ordering a phone from @virginmedia ! No record of complaint logged, prices keep changing, order placed online last night and now no record of it! Shouldn’t be this hard to get a phone!

  • DazFS DarrenFS 🏳️‍🌈 (@DazFS) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Hi. I tried rebooting the router but without any luck. It’s the only device I’m having an issue with. It should connect when I press the WPS button on the router but it’s not connecting and timing out.

  • shazmall sharron (@shazmall) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia We have just been told our box is broken and getting a replacement on Monday

  • kimnsib kim🐝 (@kimnsib) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Doubt it, youve had £900+ a year for 11 years off me, il do without first, not being insulted again. Loyalty means nothing to @virginmedia im one unhappy customer right now 😡

  • shazmall sharron (@shazmall) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia we have been on hold on the telephone for 15 minutes now, customer care is outrageous @richardbranson

  • PAB190968 PAB the Grouch (@PAB190968) reported from Manchester, England

    @DebbyLewinton1 @virginmedia Same here in North Manchester. Been intermittent since 5 December, fix tomorrow apparently. Of course they don’t communicate directly to you, only found that out by ringing them. Had enough, moving to Sky in new year.

  • teejread Tracey Read (@teejread) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia Terrible broadband at the moment, streaming Premier League on Amazon Prime. #bufferring #disapointed

  • tishy_k TishyK (@tishy_k) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia I have already been onto VM chat and they are the ones who told me the new date and that no router has been ordered. Phone and online chat have been no help! Hoping these tweets put off potential new customers!

  • blast_tundra Blast Tundra (@blast_tundra) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @SonosSupport Built a guest network for my Ring system but the Sonos is on the main network with all of the phones, laptops etc. Nothing has changed in terms of security etc - I'm not convinced that my Virgin Media equipment is not at fault, but literally everything else in the house is fine!

  • cicismith81 Careen 'Cici' Smith (@cicismith81) reported from Manchester, England

    And once again @virginmedia you have shown why your customer service absolutely sucks. 2020, I’m going back to Sky

  • MarkClifford86 Mark Clifford (@MarkClifford86) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia . I’m a virgin media customer yet you have phoned me 3 times since Friday trying to sell me and upgrade my account despite me changing my marketing preferences. If I keep getting pestered I will cancel my subscription!

  • tishy_k TishyK (@tishy_k) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia No advice at all! There is a network issue in the area, was initially told would be sorted early/mid Nov, now told Dec 6th. Completely misled by call centre who said new router would be sent out and now no history of order placed! Waiting to see refund on bill, no sign yet!

  • WolstenhulmeIan Ian Wolstenhulme (@WolstenhulmeIan) reported from Saddleworth, England

    @WildDarren @virginmedia @WildDarren I am sensing some issue with @virginmedia #Christmas

  • nathanrigby__96 Nath (@nathanrigby__96) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia Internet went off last night in the area and it said it would be sorted for 10:30am this morning now the status has changed but still no ones internet is working, rebooting doesn’t help

  • jpglover1982 JP Glover 🏳️‍🌈 (@jpglover1982) reported

    @virginmedia why can't anyone get through to customer service. Especially when I'm trying to cancel the service for a pensioner.

  • packerm Mick Packer (@packerm) reported

    @virginmedia @AmyDaviesMASW Oh and the contact number just hangs up (as I'm finding out), so in effect it's impossible to cancel Virgin. How convenient

  • robertraineyni Robert Rainey🇬🇧 (@robertraineyni) reported

    @virginmedia Both. Tried to cancel service by phoning, your staff claimed the password was wrong, able to log on with password but no option to cancel service. Wrote to CEO still getting harassed by BPO and getting bills from Virgin Media. Absolutely appalling company!!

  • Mansoor86636034 M Alruqi (@Mansoor86636034) reported

    @virginmedia You have 48 hrs to fix this otherwise, I’ll cancel the direct debit 👎

  • fabdullahi99 Faisa 🇸🇴 (@fabdullahi99) reported

    The world is really testing me today, staying civil on a phone call is getting harder and harder.... @virginmedia fix up

  • SilviaFelce Silvia Felce (@SilviaFelce) reported

    So, is @virginMedia's protocol to lure new clients into a contract to state (deceptively) you are going to absorb the cost of rescinding previous arrangements with a different provider, then pretending to log a complaints and never return calls? #BadPractice #Ombudsman

  • PJBert Bert (@PJBert) reported

    @virginmedia But I’ve already had a ‘text chat’ with someone who I gave my details to.they could do sweet fa. So I call 0345 again, to hear the same story ‘ I am not able to help’. A manager won’t be available! Because they never are. Service has been pathetic. #customerservice #pathetic

  • LileeMeiStudio Lilee Mei Studio (@LileeMeiStudio) reported

    @virginmedia please help! My Aunts virgin media landline has been down since the 19th of Jan and she’s been trying to contact you without any response. Please can we have a contact number or email to resolve this issue ASAP! Thank you!

  • paulsmithVIP Paul Smith (@paulsmithVIP) reported

  • day7262 paul day (@day7262) reported
