  • Rocketman_86 Rocketman_86 (@Rocketman_86) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Your a tech company and doesn't have an email address. Your live chat is laughable and waiting times on the phones is silly. Trying log into the account - forget password the username doesn't exist. The self help is insulting intelligence is the ringer switched on for instance

  • allanwebb69 Allan Webb (@allanwebb69) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia good to see you have added #DMAX at least just when going to cancel subscription due to lack of channels

  • andyvic7 Andy Picken (@andyvic7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @drummerwhitey @northernsky67 @virginmedia Steve it was a last resort for me but other avenues were fruitless, I ended up getting a visit from an engineer , a booster and a reduction in my tariff after I told them I’d leave , normal customer service is dreadful, keep on pushing them

  • moorland2 Moorland (@moorland2) reported from Endon, England

    @virginmedia trying to contact you and all I keep getting is a stupid repetitive bot

  • xTrustBandit #bandit4president (@xTrustBandit) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia u guys ******* suck . Worst internet UK

  • danandbec Dan and Bec (@danandbec) reported from Stafford, England

    Well, @virginmedia what a way to welcome a new customer. Two weeks in and I’m getting speeds so slow the internet is unusable. A week to wait before an engineer visit and there’s no compensation. How do we key workers work from home this week on 2mbit?

  • Turnerandhooch turnerandhooch® (@Turnerandhooch) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @AlenaCopeland_1 @virginmedia I thought once maybe an accident but twice is *************** , I haven’t got online access never been sent a bill no emails so I’m ****** , gonna have to cancel direct debit

  • EmzeeJaye Emily-jaye collins. (@EmzeeJaye) reported from Stafford, England

    Virgin media really need to pull their finger out. Don't boast a service that you simply cannot provide. What a bloody joke. #virginmedia #failmedia

  • booksandcomics StaffordBooks&Comics (@booksandcomics) reported from Stafford, England

    Right in the middle of hosting a virtual pub quiz with friends from around the world and our WiFi with @virginmedia cuts out. It’s been fine all the way through lock down, unsure why these past few days it has been awful...#virginmediadown

  • Rocketman_86 Rocketman_86 (@Rocketman_86) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Yes. No human tone. No customer service. The usual have you tried changing the batteries in your phone, could it be your handset etc ( they bought new ones 6/7 week ago thinking it was them) may be they should ask Virgin Media to reimburse them

  • moorland2 Moorland (@moorland2) reported from Endon, England

    We stopped paying @virginmedia the£90 for what in fairness was complete crap and have bought a Manhattan @FreeviewTV box and couldn’t be happier. We would never go back to virgin or sky for their overpriced TV service

  • mrsclholdcroft Claire Holdcroft (@mrsclholdcroft) reported from Stafford, England

    Trying to speak to @virginmedia is so hard, trying to cancel my contract for nearly 2 months now. Does anyone ever get out?

  • moorland2 Moorland (@moorland2) reported from Endon, England

    If @virginmedia try and flog you 1 of these let me know, I’ve had them for 2 yrs and they have been nothing but crap from the get go

  • EmzeeJaye Emily-jaye collins. (@EmzeeJaye) reported from Stafford, England

    @virginmedia considering my number isn't on the directory and I've never given it out to anyone, it's funny how I am getting so many scam and cold calls.

  • microjology Dr Jo Heaton (@microjology) reported

    @virginmedia I appreciate it isn’t your doing JS, but when nobody ever answers the customer care phone number, social media seems to be the only route to raise an issue

    @virginmedia So what good are you then, and why did you contact me like you could help me?

  • Vikingtrader4 🛡🪓Vikingtrader🪓🛡 (@Vikingtrader4) reported
