  • dovermonkey Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Dover, England

    @zoebartlett Funny how @virginmedia say they have no access to accounts over social media yet yesterday I dealt with my issue finally over the same social media platform. They contradict themselves time after time.

  • _drewitt Lauren Drewitt (@_drewitt) reported from Smeeth, England

    @virginmedia another poor lengthy phone call with one of your customer service advisers following being mis-sold your services. Refusal to listen to our original telephone calls where we were mis-sold the service and refusal to accept any responsibility.

  • jiginthebox Richard Esdale (@jiginthebox) reported from Dover, England

    @virginmedia I have had no choice but to take this matter further and make contact with #ofcom and the communications ombudsman - for the disgusting customer service for a problem ongoing for about 3 months! Get the SAME text every single day then NOTHING! 😡 @ShieldVoC

  • _drewitt Lauren Drewitt (@_drewitt) reported from Smeeth, England

    @virginmedia and after a previous phone call a few weeks ago where your adviser said we could write a letter of complaint, we have still received no response in writing as requested and today been told it’s not your policy to reply? Terrible service!

  • dovermonkey Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Dover, England

    @virginmedia so you don't have a complaints team yet you advise to ring x number to raise a complaint. Misleading information re when a call can be pulled to listen to. Told twice 72 hours, 96 hours gone by and now being told 30-40 days.

  • dovermonkey Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia So your code of practice section 3. Your case will remain open for 28 days so you'll have enough time to review and consider our proposal. Erm you've closed it after 2 days. Your service gets better

  • monkey1959neil Neil 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@monkey1959neil) reported from Whitfield, England

    @virginmedia No thanks ,it's just how I hear from people about your customer service

  • chewgumforever Owen Kimm (@chewgumforever) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia been on hold for over an hour trying to get support with no response. There is no chat function online and no help for accessibility. Shocking customer service.

  • D2SDKATO SD KATO & TSD ECHO & DD PATCH (@D2SDKATO) reported from Dover, England

    @virginmedia Yes exactly where tahli is from I had one email back from a guy saying I would be contacted and not heard a thing !! Disgraceful service

  • dovermonkey Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Dover, England

    @virginmedia Can someone help book an engineer

  • Bsid19451955 Bsid (@Bsid19451955) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia just when you really need Internet none! And fix time 16:00 today.

  • dovermonkey Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Dover, England

    @virginmedia is there any chance you can get to my complaint. Over a week without a V6 TV box and impossible to get through. Complaint number: C-141120166

  • dovermonkey Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia No. I received an email stating I didn't need to sign a new contract and it was classed as a service change.

  • jiginthebox Richard Esdale (@jiginthebox) reported from Dover, England

    @virginmedia I’ve tried ALL channels and still unable to speak to someone to solve this issue... You will no doubt soon be on to me for my missed payment so can discuss it then!!

  • ralphspicer ralph spicer (@ralphspicer) reported from Dover, England

    @Jimbob_Du @_Kano_P Virgin media is the worst, I had a fault with my Vito box it took 4 months before customer service put me through to faults, explained what was happening to the person who answered immediately he said its a Vito fault...

  • dovermonkey Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia Your email re complaint makes now sense. You've closed it but not said how it has been resolved? C-1703211599 Please advise

  • jiginthebox Richard Esdale (@jiginthebox) reported from Dover, England

    @virginmedia Then ive been paying for a service ive not been receiving which will undoubtedly work our worse for you as I have records of all the failed correspondence and support from you!!! And all my emails/texts and calls are logged ... I’ve stopped the payment and now contacted @skytv

  • voose_lagina Trash Panda 🦝 (@voose_lagina) reported from Dover, England

    Running on about 4 hours of broken sleep, woken up with a cracking headache, cramps and Virgin Media is down. Life is hard.

  • dragonlovingLFC Lisa January (@dragonlovingLFC) reported

    No reception again from @virginmedia. Absolute joke of a company. They cannot provide a reliable service but I cannot get out of the contract. Only missing THE tennis match

  • rachael99300892 rachael Dunn (@rachael99300892) reported

    @the4ts @virginmedia @Channel4 I’d never go back to sky same here the service was so poor and never got anything in return.

  • peri_miyy SAKIN 🤍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@peri_miyy) reported

    **** you virgin media wait for my call tomorrow

  • StollerMia Mia (@StollerMia) reported

    @virginmedia Update. Spoke to Bev who is going to contact Sophie (a manager). Told by Bev that @Ofcom monitor when broadband bis down. Why then, are @virginmedia refusing to apply refunds?

  • gffcontwitch OFFICIAL GFFCONTWITCH 🇬🇧 (@gffcontwitch) reported

    @virginmedia Can you please fix the issue on your website, blocking me from seeling the " my bills " part , I have tried two different browsers, so the issue isnt at my end #virginmedia

  • the4ts Noisette (@the4ts) reported

    @rachael99300892 @virginmedia @Channel4 Surely they should have factored in it may have overrun? They do it with football matches. Utterly disgraceful! Sorry you had the same problem too.

  • MarianneatIFour Marianne James (@MarianneatIFour) reported

    @virginhelp @Virgin @virginmedia I'm sure it isn't but I am more than a little frustrated as your service has, for the last 15 years for me, been very good.

  • simonseymour13 simon seymour (@simonseymour13) reported

    @virginmedia It was for sep 22 but we are cancelling, apparently me not giving out my bank details to an unknown number will ‘cause me trouble down the line’, and that’s a direct quote from an unknown caller proclaiming to be from your company. Be better.

  • PatelLeena31 Patel Leena (@PatelLeena31) reported

    @BChandler991 @VodafoneUK I'd suggest to DO NOT continue with this #pathetic network. So many incorrect and false information shared. Unprofessional behaviour on call as well on chat. Major part is their services, I port from @virginmedia cause of #ridiculous mobile services. Even the VODAFONE was same 🤮

  • reala7maggedon A7MAGGEDON (@reala7maggedon) reported

    Honestly @virginmedia I don't have a clue how you can Rob people of their money for WiFi as **** as this, I dont think I've had a solid 30 minutes of wifi in the last 6 weeks, and even when it is on, its basically worthless, anyone reading this, DON'T choose virgib #virginmedia
