    @virginmedia Clearly not as the issue keeps coming back after multiple engineer fixes outside AND in my home. You're lying through your teeth and leaving me in the dark literally. Stop hiding behind "standard business" replies, be human and help me.

    Mento5 (TAFKAB) (@Mento56) reported from Church Village, Wales

    @DwyKev @virginmedia Their appalling customer service was the one thing that made me decide to stick with Plusnet rather than switch to them, despite a very attractive offer.

    @virginmedia That's not going to help me reset my password.

  • SATempest
    Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Can I just ask why it is that you can respond within minutes on social media (where the public can see your actions) but then in private you are ignoring your customers and taking three weeks to deal with issues? If you have agents manning twitter why can’t you pick up the phone?

  • fredljones_
    Fred Jones (@fredljones_) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia And now when I call you are "currently experiencing system problems" ridiculous

    @virginmedia I’m trying to end my contract with yourselves. Which is proving an impossible task When I PRESS 1 on the phone to get through to someone, the phone line goes dead? Appreciate any help.

  • Welsh_Saint14
    Ryan Davenport (@Welsh_Saint14) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia My wife is currently on the phone to your customer service regarding this matter so hopefully it'll be resolved this evening, if not then a web chat from 4pm would be the best time for me

  • benj8min
    Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia A laughable statement in all honesty you're known for terrible service, demonstrated by the line "Package changes". Who said package changes? I have a TV package, I signed up for, have a contract for and have been using since June. It's disappeared your end, I have the docs.

    @paulatkinsonuk @virginmedia Virgin hubs are known for poor wifi signal the hub 4 aint much better i ended up getting an old home hub router and turning that into a wifi access point . Though if you do get a hub 4 beware of overheating along with virgin wifi boosters.

    Do @EE have any actual humans, other than those on commission in sales, working for them? Almost as bad as Virgin Media, certainly worse than @BT who seemed to have taken the worst from both companies and merged. Are there no good comms companies out there?

  • LayDFingers
    Lay D Fingers (@LayDFingers) reported

    @virginmedia can you please help me by sending a confirmation of my final bill pronto

  • McCourt2010
    Breakaway (@McCourt2010) reported

    Just renewed M350 package with you; £36.00 but new customers can get the same for £28.99!! Been a loyal customer for 14 years; your call centre wouldn't budge - one even quoted £31.00 but the next person contacted said there was no record of this! Disappointed. @virginmedia

  • daviesa02

    @virginmedia can I DM regarding an issue I am having with an online form?

  • Americanvoiceo1
    Joe Duley American voiceover person (@Americanvoiceo1) reported

    Your service is atrocious. @virginmedia I attempted to call in to report (ongoing ) technical issue and your agent tried to upsell me a SIM card. Now...your phone number is not working, nor is our BB or TV. Offcom and Ombudsman will be receiving a correspondence from me.

  • cdavo25
    Chris Davis (@cdavo25) reported

    @virginmedia WORST Internet Provider iv ever had! Internet breaks takes nearly 2 weeks to fix it and within a week it broke again! And all you get back from customer care is no understanding and promises it will be fixed soon! Absolute joke of a company L

  • JayBee58963922
    JayBee (@JayBee58963922) reported

    Just had a call from supposedly Virgin Media, saying that there was a technical problem on the line, making my voice go all slowly on calls. Wow ! Really . Of course I fell for that. NOT ! What next, make me talk backwards ? Keep aware folks.

    @virginmedia are not only happy to breach my data protection they will now not correspond with me the way I ask and continue to think a resolution will Come through Twitter message.

    So fed with @virginmedia. The sky sports plus system has not been working for over a week and they have done nothing to fix it! Starts playing and then crashes, works on the crappy stream box but the quality is poor, works via the apps and website but not on the normal box!

    @virginmedia @virginmedia Shall I start posting screengrabs of the conversation I had with your customer service representative on here? Or are you going to reply?
