@virginmedia This lithium service you use is to get people off social media. It obfuscates and is unable to resolve anything. I'll take my chance in the legal system and with independent ombudsman.

@virginmedia I really don’t think you can. Please provide me with an email address for the complaints department. I will write a full and detailed email and if no resolution I will forward my complaint to Ofcom.

Anyone else on @virginmedia getting “To Be Announced” on virtually every channel. Tried rebooting, switching on and off. Strikes me that VM has gone to shit recently. Loads of channels have gone, close to sacking it off.

16 mins on hold to @virginmedia before I got through to someone who said she needed to transfer me to another department, the recorded message of that department said the number no longer exists and gave me the original phone number to ring! Some customer service that!!!

@simonrim @virginmedia Ended up removing them from our lives due to atrocious (being generous here) customer service. Even now they are threatening £130 charge due to them not sending out the box return kit.

Can @NetflixUK please fix their bug that identified @virginmedia WiFi routers as VPNs and then blocks the IP address. Sounds like a failed IT implementation that needs to be rolled back until it's professionally tested.

@virginmedia This is all BS,there's a fault in the area they are obviously not bothering to repair,they keep changing the time it will be ready and it never is,you have no customer service or any answer,your only reply is from Pakistan and obviously they know nothing about the problem!

@virginmedia you have now failed to apply a discount to my account that you have promised me 2 months in a row after mis-selling me a service at the setup of the account. If you don't sort it out I will be taking it up with the ombudsman. Not happy. 😑

@virginmedia Spoken to a female customer service rep, very helpful. Now appears to be sorted & the problem was exactly what I've been telling the other reps for the last 2 days - hadn't been activated your end!

(@pjextra) reported
@virginmedia really showing the love for customers.. a £10 credit to compensate for an ongoing network fault since 14th Jan, that they say won’t be fixed until at least 7th Feb, and that’s made broadband useable most days. I mean I’m just blown away by the love.

@virginmedia how can I make a complaint. I was promised no changes to my service and renegotiated a new contract at 76 pounds and I got an email advising changes and removals I didn’t agree to. This was the third time i spoke to virgin and you got it wrong again.

@virginmedia So a day and a half without any service,or any help and communication,if you're thinking of installing Virgin media, think again!

(@cottonsox34) reported
@virginmedia I was also told the resets might take 30 mins to start working properly. I have asked for a call back from a supervisor but was told they are going to tell me the same thing and you will not upgrade my router. I hope this won’t be the case as I will just cancel my contract.
