  • Freddie_Owusu77 Freddie AFC Owusu (@Freddie_Owusu77) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia Tried to call today waited for 20mins to get through finally got through to customer service and then they had to put me through the escalations team and as soon as i got through the operator pretended he could not hear then dropped the phone.

  • Freddie_Owusu77 Freddie AFC Owusu (@Freddie_Owusu77) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp @VMDotCom Virgin are a bunch of lying thieves and would not recommend anybody signing a contract, once they get you in they start treating you like crap.

  • scottyboy1973 Scott Brindley (@scottyboy1973) reported from Poplar, England

    @CantSwingACat @bt_uk You should try Virgin Media! Don't forget you're entitled to Ofcom compensation if the has been a total loss of service for over 24 hrs I.e If their Infrastructure is at fault #poorcustomerservice

  • LSandersonbooks Lesley Sanderson (@LSandersonbooks) reported from Islington, England

    @leepg @virginmedia I have this same problem @virginmedia rebooting doesn't solve the problem

  • JanineAdelman Janine (@JanineAdelman) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia I will phone you, but wait a minute, my phone doesn't work!

  • georgiamumbles Georgia Mumby (@georgiamumbles) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia hey my WiFi is down and I’ve been trying to get through to somebody in your call centre for ages - I was on hold until way after closing time and your message feature doesn’t work 😞 HEEEELLLPPPP!!!!

  • andrewjthorp Andrew James Thorp (@andrewjthorp) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    After finally ending up speaking to a UK call centre all sorted! @virginmedia please sort of your customer service issues!

  • dougmorton Doug (@dougmorton) reported from Ealing, England

    Annoys me way more than it should that Virgin... sorry, LNER call their class 800s “Azumas” and the media are treating them as something new, when class 800s have been in operation on the GWML since 2017, just without a stupid brand name.

  • onemistert Mr T (@onemistert) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia We have engineer visit today so hopefully they can resolve. However it is vertically impossible to get to speak to one of your agents. That is really not good customer service. I tried to have the online chat on a weekday btw sonshould have been available after 6

  • Holly_Christie Holly Christie (@Holly_Christie) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @james_etheridge @virginmedia I found Virgin so unreliable and their customer service so terrible that in the end I left them after 8 years of loyalty because I just couldn't work out what I was even paying for...

  • agrayphoto Adam Gray (@agrayphoto) reported from Croydon, England

    The @virginmedia customer service can’t understand one simple request and problem, passing my housemate between pillar and post for hours on the phone and making broken promises. Seriously useless. Oh and the internet speed has been crap and not as advertised for months - avoid

  • Freddie_Owusu77 Freddie AFC Owusu (@Freddie_Owusu77) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp @VMDotCom Virgin are liars and thieves they misinformed me, stole my money then after 20min waiting to get through to customer service they drop the phone on you. Do not go to virgin they are horrible

  • dylzdevani City Girl #140499 (@dylzdevani) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Im not thick ofcourse all the cables are connected, it wouldnt tell me 30mb if the ethernet wasnt in. The hub has been reset whenever there is an issue, which happens to be every few days.

  • aubreydav1s Aubrey Davis (@aubreydav1s) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia Still down. So I’ve now missed two live games and soccer Saturday. Been on hold at your call centre for 30 minutes now as well

  • dylzdevani City Girl #140499 (@dylzdevani) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia The wifi is always flashing green. Even when it says there is no issue. Fortunately tho the contract is coming to an end which means so will payments👍. Paying for about 250Mb to get 30 on a wired connection

  • andrewjthorp Andrew James Thorp (@andrewjthorp) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia Every interaction with you overseas call centre is a horrible experience, long wait times, bad English, wrong information & get passed around the system. The only way to get anywhere is to threaten to leave and suddenly you are transferred to the UK where the problem is resolved!

  • andrewjthorp Andrew James Thorp (@andrewjthorp) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    I love @virginmedia products, but detest their overseas call centres. Customer service is appalling! Been on the current call for 40 minutes and now I’m apparently being transferred somewhere else! I’m only trying to sort my contract out....

  • rosecherished Rose Cooney (@rosecherished) reported from Bromley, England

    @NOWTV So cos @virginmedia had problems and I could only watch this via app last weekend, I restarted my @NOWTV entertainment sub just to binge watch on Sunday

  • Timothy_Hughes Tim Hughes 提姆·休斯 (@Timothy_Hughes) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia Thank you .... will try. — The text I got today said “With our Connect app, your WiFi can't hide. It's like a WiFi sniffer dog, hunting down blackspots.” You might like to point out to Marketing that a reword is needed as I took it literally. Thanks for your help.

    @virginmedia I have been a customer for 10 years over which time my broadband fees increased repeatedly every year since. I’ve just received a £3.50 increased letter on my broadband fee yet customers who are new on the same street can get the same broadband for me at £20 less per month.

  • jatrobinson83 James Robinson (@jatrobinson83) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry, it’s been a week without TV and still no-one has contacted me. You work for Virgin media - surely you must be able to find out what the issue is affecting my area? Can you speak to someone in the technical team?
