  • 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

  • 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...

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

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

  • _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!

  • 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

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia Was half way through a conversation on text then suddenly a random one saying ive been added to a queue !!! Then silence for the rest of the evening... Ive had to instruct our bank to stop your payment the hopefully when you chase it you’ll rectify our issue😡😡

  • _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.

  • 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

  • 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!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • TheIronHammer26 #GSBOUT #GSBOUT (@TheIronHammer26) reported from Folkestone, England

    When @virginmedia have put you into a new bundle tv contract without your say so and when you try to cancel they say there's 14 months outstanding Naughty naughty

  • 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.

  • 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 Can someone help book an engineer

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • zoeo_nc ℤ𝕠𝕖 (@zoeo_nc) reported

    @virginmedia is there a contact number I can have for moving home and negotiating a new deal please? As the online chats never give me an agent

  • ACameronhollyer Alex Cameron-Hollyer (@ACameronhollyer) reported

    @virginmedia What a complete joke, constant error 603 code preventing us from access On Demand content since we joined in Dec from SKY. New box installed today, same problem. Ridiculous waste of money. Is this sufficient reason to cancel contract for failure to deliver??

  • sohanlon07 Shane (@sohanlon07) reported

    @virginmedia numerous times every evening the WiFi on my hub 3 decides to switch itself off. Not the broadband. But the wireless itself. Devices connected with Ethernet are fine. And getting in contact with you guys for tech support is a pain in the ***.

  • SK17298002 SK (@SK17298002) reported

    @virginmedia I have asked 3 separate times over the past 6 weeks for a return label for sending back broadband equipment and still have NOT received anything! Please DM me urgently or I will email the Head of Customer Service James Hagin directly

  • DavidWheater David “Still Not the Footballer” Wheater (@DavidWheater) reported from Richmond, England

    3 different @premierinn hotels this week and 6 in the last 3 weeks and I can honestly say that your Wi-Fi is absolutely atrocious. It’s always been bad, but some how it’s now even worse. It’s time to ditch @virginmedia and get a decent Internet supplier.

  • JanetOzer3 Jinny (@JanetOzer3) reported

    @virginmedia Well I did not end the chat I was waiting to speak to a manager because Bethany didn't have a clue what it was all about, 45 minutes of wasted time, I'll send you a copy just incase there's no record of it, same as there is no record of all my phone calls regarding the service

  • Orme4Alan Alan Orme (@Orme4Alan) reported

    @virginmedia I am concerned that you wrap this up into improving the service and it is routine. On a Wednesday morning? Stop taking customers as fools updates happen in the early mornings on Sunday not on Wednesday morning at 10:15

  • Steve_Hill_78 Steven Hill (@Steve_Hill_78) reported

    @virginmedia Just for information John, it wasn’t added to my bill, it wasn’t collected by direct debit and just another absolute **** up by virginmedia. I have made a manual payment just to get rid. I will never use you again. I hope @richardbranson can afford to keep his island 🙄

  • JakeJAhmad Jake Jon Ahmad (@JakeJAhmad) reported

    @virginmedia But apparently all you guys have to do is provide 237mb at any point in a 3 day period and then you have "fulfilled" the contract. Which ofcourse is probably happening at 3am when no one is using the service. Easy to do it then isn't it?

  • irvin_hr Simon Irvin (@irvin_hr) reported

    @virginmedia Just want my complaint resolved - have given time and date of phone call when customer service originally confirmed compensation so feel free to listen to and your engineer will confirm he told me the same on visit.
