    The worst part about being an adult is having to do things like talk to the brain dead people behind virgin media

  • ThomasMcGowan1 Thomas McGowan (@ThomasMcGowan1) reported from Gateshead, England

  • Jonnycushlow Jonathan Cushlow (@Jonnycushlow) reported from Gateshead, England

  • Janthebestmam Janice (@Janthebestmam) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia its for my broad band service

  • BevFrankland Bev Frankland (@BevFrankland) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Just send me the new box that You insist I need so that I can get the service I'm paying for

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @danielpwood1 @virginmedia I don’t have a regional accent so am normally easily understood, I’m also very patient, enjoy speaking to the Indian guys about cricket, but tonight it was unprofessional and my near thirty years service to VM in all it’s guises rendered irrelevant

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia Media. I ditched the TV part of the bundle years ago, but am still currently paying £50.99 p/m for 150mb broadband and a phone we never use. Come September, when you increase it by another £3.50 it’ll have gone from £37 in Dec 16 to £54.49 - A ridiculous 47% INCREASE......

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia This has never been suggested before; you’ve been quite happy just to take the money and then hit me with an annual increase way above inflation. I’ve spoken to customer services on a couple of times in the last couple of months, and the offers have been quite frankly insulting.

  • Darylx Daryl (@Darylx) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Can you please help me. I've rang twice to upgrade my TiVo box free upgrade. Tried online can't do it. First time cut off. Web chat I tried was told I had to phone.40 mins in second time lady was having system issues so transferred me and guess what I was cut off

  • Stickings90 Graeme Stickings (@Stickings90) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia what was my TiVo box meant to be updating. I woke in the night to find it on and the screen saying it was updating software, don't switch off. I rang 151 to find out, but the automatic system said there was an issue and sent a restart pulse 1/2

  • TheHamfather Andrew Weatherhead (@TheHamfather) reported from Blyth, England

    @Kasiohead_ @virginmedia I have no advice for you but I would like to add my voice to the fact they are utterly terrible.

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Media service. I waited 30 mins to speak to someone, after selecting an electronic option to cancel. "I'm not authorised to cancel". Now back on hold. Virgin has the worst customer service of any company I've interacted with. It's insane.

  • BevFrankland Bev Frankland (@BevFrankland) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia you write stating have to upgrade to free tivo box & I must contact you 2 arrange. Web site doesn't work, no answer online chat, no answer on text and phone advisor tries to sell me an upgrade. Then email advising price rise in inbox. - total joke!!!

  • CazzaW CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Cancelled @virginmedia Starplayz subscription as they have no channel number and no app to search for programmes! Crazy and call centre staff don’t understand why this is a problem. Don’t waste £5 a month.

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia can you please advise how I can easily cancel my service ASAP. It's (deliberately) impossible to contact your company by phone.

  • fredspoon pipkins (@fredspoon) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @DMcCSE17 @virginmedia All phone signal in London is terrible including public Wi-fi. I love when I come back to north east for a decent signal and decent Wi-fi speed :)

  • rl_chris_higham Chris Higham (@rl_chris_higham) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia £20 a month 'existing customer' penalty on the best you can offer me Vs the best new customer deal is just too much, afraid that's a cancellation from a 10 years loyal customer. £240 is a lot of money!

  • BevFrankland Bev Frankland (@BevFrankland) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia That's all well and good but you have insisted we update our box or it will not work, your website link is not working, text service and chat not responding and your telephone advisor insists I buy a new service whilst your letter states its free! Not paying more for less!!

  • Stickings90 Graeme Stickings (@Stickings90) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I have received from you an incomplete text message regarding changes to Virgin Media Project and Mobile Rescue Tech support, as from 31 August, but does not say what. What are these changes

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Worst customer service I've ever encountered. On multiple occasions over several years. Rudeness and lack of knowledge being the main issues, along with the usual very long hold times.

    Anyone else having issues with @virginmedia in SE?

  • danjconn Dan Conn (@danjconn) reported

    Now still paying for the service so that my ex doesn't cut off, all because internally @virginmedia can't actually talk to their own internal departments, not actually be able to raise a complaint for someone to look into. Some. Three. Months. Later.

  • subhendudey Subhendu Dey (@subhendudey) reported

    @virginmedia you can't make your existing customers happy... It's been 7 months my Wi-Fi is not working each time I call I get same answer "there is work going on in your area we can't do the check." And if we don't pay on time £7 penalty... Late payment charges.

  • jenflorist Jenny murray (@jenflorist) reported

    @virginmedia is there issues in eh16?

  • w_cazz Cazz 💙 (@w_cazz) reported

    @virginmedia hi VM. Once again I am without any service since Tuesday 6th. Unable to make any calls or use data. Unable to call to report it. In February they were doing major work on local masts or something & I lost service for 6 days! Now this so please advise.

  • lauriemorgen LaurieMorgen #DifferentByDefault. (@lauriemorgen) reported

    @virginmedia It isn’t one bit helpful. There’s something very wrong with a service provider who creates nothing but obstacles when a customer wishes to leave.

  • adrianlomas Adrian Lomas (@adrianlomas) reported

    @virginmedia Services installed for years. Cable broken outside. First guys said couldn’t blow the cable. Second guys came said they could, third guys not yet arrived to connect it .

  • NadineD_G Nadine_CCN (@NadineD_G) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, it’s running but very slow and keeps cutting out and then coming back on

  • PeteJamesMagic Pete James (@PeteJamesMagic) reported

    I will not be using @virginmedia broadband ever again. I am going to be billed £240 early cancellation fee because they won’t be able to provide services to me (Despite being told otherwise) Any recommendations for GOOD internet service providers? #virginmedia #broadband #fail

  • thedogger31 george (@thedogger31) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve just lodged another formal complaint as this is now *************** big time
