  • lillyelizax SatansLittleGirl🔮 (@lillyelizax) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia There isn’t internet down time the box has stopped working, they can’t get a new box out here till mid week, with a lot of people working from home you think you’d have next day delivery or something, bad enough we can’t have a engineer out to help

  • yiddo71 Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @BBCWatchdog can you help @virginmedia make it impossible to complain or resolve any issues the ultimate poor customer service!!

  • yiddo71 Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    Why is it every companies customer service line is so crap and does not want to help in any way shape or form #curryspcworld #virginmedia @BBCWatchdog

  • Just_Daz_Young Darren Young 📺 (@Just_Daz_Young) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia No its ok.... ill get a proper company to take the contract over and cancel you. @BBCWatchdog are surely interesting in your customer service as I have screen shots.

  • TMFeeG THE FEE MG! 👩🏻 (@TMFeeG) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia This is not what happened. It was taken away by the engineer who came to uninstall it 6 months ago! He also cut through the phone line and we have had 6 months of issues trying to get phone line installed. Open Reach have been amazing! I am disgusted with the attitude of VM rep

  • yiddo71 Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia No as normal Virgin customer service go quiet until I am forced to ring them again and as for the bill no additional charges you just seem to have doubled the bill

  • Just_Daz_Young Darren Young 📺 (@Just_Daz_Young) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia My tariff is going up from £72ish to £108ish so I want to leave... Simple but trying to get them to do this is madness. Internet is slow and not reliable, I have been promised the earth and it has just got worst! @BBCWatchdog

  • TMFeeG THE FEE MG! 👩🏻 (@TMFeeG) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia No he is NOT! I have called and logged the complaint. Your rep who came to the door around an hour ago was extremely rude. I am utterly disgusted that he could treat an elderly partially deaf gentleman this way. Had I not witnessed it for myself I may not have believed it.

  • yiddo71 Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia is there an email address I can send a complaint to you customer service don’t want to accept it and your web form has been completed but no response!!

  • statusquo44 Peter Fudge 💙 (@statusquo44) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @leonagraham @virginmedia Yes, the issue is you’re being denied internet access 👍

  • yiddo71 Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia Just to know you still have not fixed my phone line despite a guarantee and you have just sent me a bill@for double my monthly bill.....way to go @virginmedia worst customer service ever!!

  • yiddo71 Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia Great ring the number that has been absolutely shocking from day 1 or wait 28 days for Virgin to answer a complaint I have been trying to resolve for 10 days currently on phone with customer service but wont let me speak to a manger absolutely s*** from @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog

  • wharfyoung jordan (@wharfyoung) reported from Wateringbury, England

    @virginmedia Oh now this is the clincher, I can’t make a complaint online because the account has been disconnected. So when I login it tells me I don’t have access to that page. It’s almost like VM don’t want disgruntled former customers tearing them a new backside in their complaints.

  • moleyfozz paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England

    @MrG48 @virginmedia Now i cant get a wifi signal 6feet away from the hub... Argh..

  • c1ormy Claire - with a capital C (@c1ormy) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia since outage in DA12 yesterday i have no services. Apparently on fault check status there’s no fault. Any advice? #virginmediadown #noservices

  • TMFeeG THE FEE MG! 👩🏻 (@TMFeeG) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia You just turned up at my fathers door 6 months after you uninstalled your service following my mother’s death to collect your equipment which you took with you when it was uninstalled. Your rep (David Khan) was very rude to him.

  • yiddo71 Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia 5 days with no landline despite your customer services saying 24 hours everytime I ring so yes I have been in touch and no they have still not sorted it total joke!

    @virginmedia Yes it says there is a fault but nothing else…… its getting stupid now. I haven’t had many issues but this is joke over the last week. Can you advise me at all of what the issue is and any advance on timing?

  • 416e64726577 Andy (@416e64726577) reported

    @virginmedia What? This has nothing to do with the network name. There's nothing you can do to help the situation beyond relaying my complaint up the chain.

  • McwilliamsMay Lara McWilliams. (@McwilliamsMay) reported

    for 18 more months...Virgin media reckon they inform you every time you phone to make a complaint regarding said equipment, when Virgin media assure you the problem will be fixed. They don't always inform a customer that having a piece of equipment added on to improve your....

  • McwilliamsMay Lara McWilliams. (@McwilliamsMay) reported

    People of twitter, I just thought I'd inform you all about virgin media. Make sure when you are speaking to them regarding a piece of their equipment that is not working properly, that you are not entering into a new contract to keep Virgin as your Internet etc provider...

  • gesichtzeintopf Juri (@gesichtzeintopf) reported

    @virginmedia how do I raise a billing issue without hanging in the phone queue for 6 hours?
