    @virginmedia This appears to be a known issue on your forums (phantom calls) but we refuse to be charged for the visit. Also waiting for a WhatsApp for over an hour because the direct debit still has his late wife's name on account after 7+ years, & we can't change it online (same acc no.).

    @virginmedia I look forward to the money off the bill for the issues.

    @virginmedia twice in 2 months that my hub 5 has completely gone down with a flashing red light and won’t work, I’ve had to book a technician for it both times. Costs too much for this to keep happening!

    Hello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

    emma (@ema_neale) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!

  • tenchylad
    Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

  • geordievillan1
    The Geordie Villan (@geordievillan1) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @1StaceyBowman Don’t waste your time Stacey. I’ve been waiting four days for a proper interaction with them and have sent four “private messages” as requested. They simply ask you to DM them to keep their atrocious service and your full complaint from public view.

    @virginmedia I’m in the unenviable position of having my broadband with virgin and my mobile with O2 I currently have internet cutting out constantly and a phone that can’t get a signal in the backwaters of Cambridge and I pay for this awful service

  • SimmO73_
    Craig (@SimmO73_) reported

    Has anyone got Virgin Media’s TV 360 service. Is it any good, as Virgin keeps pushing me to upgrade for free to this from the V6 boxes I have and I’m not sure. #virginmedia

  • NeoRobins
    Neo ✨ (@NeoRobins) reported

    @virginmedia are abysmal. After harassing us for weeks by knocking at the door we decided to switch to them. Only to be left without wifi for almost an entire month. And customer service keeps making empty promises, telling us that it’ll be installed the next day.

  • ArrenDavey
    Arren Davey (@ArrenDavey) reported

    Does anyone else in Ireland has @VirginMediaIE as their mobile data provider? It's THE WORST service out there! God do I regret switching to Virgin Media, this mistake has cost me money and patience.
