    @virginmedia Perhaps if you read my messages? 1st message said I don't have a land line. 0345 is 30p a minute on O2 PAYG (your merger partner) This is a sign of customer service to come. I will cancel before my connection date. Thanks for confirming my fears about virgin.

    @virginmedia why just you just call me under the guise of "offering me a discount on my services" then offer me a deal that means me paying for an extra service I don't currently use or want?

    Hi @virginmedia after 2 weeks of repeated calls and being promised a new remote ordered each time when it wasn’t, I finally reached a customer service agent called Maciej Betnat who took the time yesterday and today to help. He is great & I want to see that this is recognised. 👏🏻

  • reid2131
    Craig Reid (@reid2131) reported from Larkhall, Scotland

    @virginmedia He came at 0730 Saturday. All fixed by 0755. The cable outside was cut. No signal getting in. All fixed so easily by the engineer

    @virginmedia The checks tell me there are issues. regardless I don’t really care about wider issues in my area. I’ve been sent in a loop for the past month and it’s still broken, I’ve been paying for this time and not receiving a service - this is not the first time either @Ofcom

  • csersrule
    Vero Walters (she/elle) (@csersrule) reported from Milngavie, Scotland

    So this is new- I spoke with a CSR @virginmedia in Scotland. I struggled with her accent & she got irritated with me & snarled "Do you even understand English?" I mean, I have a few degrees issued from Canadian universities... maybe they felt bad for me?

    @virginmedia Very simple .... I never had paper billing it started and I keep getting charged for it .... and no matter what is discussed or sorted on a call wotyncustomer services it keeps getting charged. ...

    @virginmedia is a complete and utter joke in Glasgow. Apparently there is a fault and won’t be resolved until January 5th. On Twitter, they redirect us to the service status page, which is “experience some problems” and we can’t check service status. Compensation is in order.

  • G1NG355
    AR #55 (@G1NG355) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia Yes, we got our package reduced.. And was quoted a price for basic TV, phone line and WiFi.. We received an email confirming this but upon receiving this our TV services was disconnected. On the email it stated that no TV service was included, upon calling up.. We were told this

    @virginmedia I was promised a reconnected service by yesterday. Didn't happen no form requested 😡😡

    Guys supposedly from @bt_uk going round the doors in EK saying my neighbours have complained of slow internet speeds. That's ok I'm on VirginMedia. They asked me to do a speed test on my phone. I told them to piss off. 1 I'm not a BT customer 2 I'm not your data source

    Loraine Riddick (@LoraineRiddick2) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia any chance you can contact me regarding my house phone which hasn’t worked for 7weeks. Have written to Sunderland and spoken to robots, and constantly get told to dial 151 which I can’t as house phone line is the problem!ty

    Anne Marie McPhee (@nuttynanaannie) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    @virginmedia Hi, it's been like this since last Thursday. Our Tivo box is constantly flashing and apps don't work as we have no Internet probably. Internet not worked since then. Its a real issue as we need Internet to work.

  • AndrewTOG
    Andrew Bradley (@AndrewTOG) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    Well no @F1 the. Thanks to @virginmedia failing and not connecting. No customer support open and no response online… what dark age company is this ?

    @virginmedia Hi, any issues affecting ML3 0QJ? Had no service on my broadband for about half an hour and its been on and off all day. Thanks.

  • ChristianBunga7
    bristian cungay (@ChristianBunga7) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia As I said earlier, I’ve had no internet for the past month and continue to be charged. I can’t use most of your support services as I’ve never been sent any of my customer information @virginmedia

  • Coops_71
    Elenita (@Coops_71) reported from Thornliebank, Scotland

    @virginmedia I sent an email at 10.51 this morning which was delivered without any issues.

  • CrawfordMilne
    Crawford Milne (@CrawfordMilne) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    So @virginmedia won't send out a technician because the signal coming into my house is fine - even though I keep telling them it's a problem with the WiFi from the router. I was offered a technician at a cost of £25 !! Absolutely disgraceful customer 'service'.

  • weeshug72
    Hugh Moan 💙 (@weeshug72) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia The solution is leaving so I don't have to use more electricity.

  • donmackeen
    don mackeen (@donmackeen) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia The service checker tells me either nothing, or - as in the screenshot - something completely contradictory. There is no way to communicate with anyone and yet, strangely enough, you still charge me for a service which only works intermittently.

  • TruthAsylum121
    (Re)Search & Destroy (@TruthAsylum121) reported

    THREAD 5 — VODAFONE, BT AND THE TELECOMS NETWORK The French side is only part of the story. In Britain, telecommunications companies have developed programmes providing connectivity through charities and other organisations supporting people experiencing digital exclusion. Vodafone is one of the clearest examples. Its charities.connected programme provides participating charities with SIM cards carrying data, calls and texts. Vodafone has documented the scheme being used by organisations supporting refugees and asylum seekers. Then there is BT. This is different because it isn’t a charitable donation. In March 2024, the Home Office awarded BT a £528,000 contract for data-only SIM cards for asylum seekers. The contract was procured by the Home Office team responsible for asylum support, resettlement and non-detained accommodation. And this is only part of the corporate network. Virgin Media O2 is involved in the National Databank, Community Calling and technology-lending programmes. Three is another major National Databank connectivity partner. The technology companies aren’t operating in isolation. They connect into a much wider system. And that brings us to the National Databank.

    Virgin Media. An astonishingly **** company, even by the standards of the UK telecoms industry. You are an absolutely ******* appalling company. You utter ******* disgrace.

    Is there a broadband outage in South Tyneside. NE35? @virginmedia

    Caroline (@finn33) reported

    @virginmedia Why do you want a private message. For what. Just get it sorted. Location is EN3. Private message only hides the info from other users that may be complaining about your shoddy service. I pay enough for this ‘service’ get it fixed.

    "There is intermittent signal in your area" so what did @virginmedia spend nearly a week destroying the Internet in this area actually fix... can't wait to leave once Openreach finish their build in this area. Sick of terrible service. Trying to run a business lol

  • bull_robin56713
    🇬🇧 Rob @No-Bull-Politics 🇬🇧 (@bull_robin56713) reported

    @virginmedia I'm sure I'm not alone in having asked you to reduce my service, such as cancelling a second set-top box, in order to reduce my bills. As you can see here I asked for my bills to be reduced in Jan 2024. Yet notice how those bills have crept up again ever since. There has been no increase or improvement in the service you provide to justify this. According to my analysis, despite having gained a better paid job recently, my net income is down 4.2% compared with 5 years ago. Like many, I am going to have to tighten my belt, and those bills that increase without any prior warning must be the first to go.
