  • jonthompenfarm JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @adamburgessevan @virginmedia They are absolutely TERRIBLE at customer service

  • LukeBCornish Luke Cornish (@LukeBCornish) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Only from customers hypothesising what the issue is... appreciate the help but not going to resolve anything.

  • LukeBCornish Luke Cornish (@LukeBCornish) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Okay I'll keep paying you for something that doesn't work and wait for another customer to advise how to resolve the issue... or if I'm really lucky a moderator might get in touch... 👌 Is there an SLA?

  • andyedwards34 andrew edwards (@andyedwards34) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia I understand that but if it’s not related to virgin how did they get my service provider and date payment is due,customer services are aware of this,as a service provider have you informed potential victims that this has happened?

  • WildthingJ74 Johnathan Williams (@WildthingJ74) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @emmalouise_ions @virginmedia @skytv They won't even want to talk to customers. Had same recorded message fobbing you off to the site even though that doesn't help with what I need

  • emmalouise_ions Emma Ions (@emmalouise_ions) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Good Morning @virginmedia please can you kindly contact me DM or send me your complaints email address please awful service at customer service. #notahqppycustomer

  • jonthompenfarm JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Anyone looking for truly appalling customer service? With terrible communications? Try one of the UK’s leading comms company @virginmedia - great example of how to truly undervalue customers with poor and dismissive service #poor #CustomerExperience #CustomerService

  • LukeBCornish Luke Cornish (@LukeBCornish) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Last pt... a helpful member of the community just advised me to text a random mobile number for help. May be innocent but I have no idea if that is a @virginmedia number ... feels a little suspicious / could be a scam? Hope the moderators track these types of things too.

  • LukeBCornish Luke Cornish (@LukeBCornish) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia pls can you help? Website and app help doesn't address the technical issues and don't provide way to contact you. Phoned 150, automated system said it would update & restart TV. Nothing happened. Can't watch recorded programmes since 12th Oct. Frustrating!

  • andyedwards34 andrew edwards (@andyedwards34) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia is there anybody in your customer services department today?

  • emmalouise_ions Emma Ions (@emmalouise_ions) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @Nett13y @virginmedia It’s always internet we’ve had a issue with TV has been fine. Shocking service.

  • emmalouise_ions Emma Ions (@emmalouise_ions) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @Nett13y @virginmedia Hi. No never spoke to anyone. Gone to BT.

  • andyedwards34 andrew edwards (@andyedwards34) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia Received a text message with a link saying that my bill had not been paid and update my details checked my bank and paid that day customer services confirmed this also this is the second time this has happened why does my information keep getting breached?

  • jonthompenfarm JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia You can, I assume this is potentially an agency who is managing their social media accounts. So you can kindly pass these on to a manager from the complaints team please. This is beyond poor customer service!

  • cherylockerby cheryl (@cherylockerby) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia After having broadband and tv issues for a month now was told there would be an automatic credit on my bill but nothing is showing. Can you look at this for me please?

  • andyedwards34 andrew edwards (@andyedwards34) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia can you tell me who I need to escalate the issue I have regarding my data being breached again for the second time in around 18 months I have spoken to customer services who have confirmed you are aware and investigating?????

  • jonthompenfarm JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia right - how on earth do you actually speak to someone in your team? If I have issues with my broadband, it’s not exactly practical to advise me to head to your website! Any options on how to speak to someone?

  • andyedwards34 andrew edwards (@andyedwards34) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia It wasn’t an email it was a text message I have reported it and they are aware of it if it’s nothing to do with a data breach how do they know my service provider, mobile number and day the bill is supposed to be paid?

  • ILSdiva Sarah Hills (@ILSdiva) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @virginmedia my internet is inexplicably not working. Any issues in Penarth, Wales?

  • jonthompenfarm JonnyT (@jonthompenfarm) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Hello, raised a complaint yesterday at 11:00am, told I’d get a call back within 24 hours - no call, so what’s the next exhausting step?

    @virginmedia Thanks for the quick response. The online service is no use to me as I need to speak to your customer retention team. The impending increase takes my package to £150!! I can get a much better deal from Sky/BT.

  • KeithCP2 Keith Pates (@KeithCP2) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried all ways but you have removed all sources of communication no email, no postal address, no DM, only ring premium rate numbers I don't have money for food let alone make a premium rate call, I have been with Virgin since 1999,2000 a long term Customer

  • TheGyenn Gyenn (@TheGyenn) reported

    @virginmedia thanks, guys. I just spent 40 minutes on hold listening to the same inane songs and messages, before being cut off. Stunning customer service.

  • NoName_xx_ahf Non offensive name for the nice social media rep (@NoName_xx_ahf) reported

    @virginmedia Could I just dm you my account number and you deal with the complaint and write the resolution to me?

  • melaniebrand7 melanie brand (@melaniebrand7) reported

    @virginmedia I've been with you for 25 years. Talking to someone that understands what I want is impossible, that is when you finally get through. yesterday I had to endure a very rude young lady that amounted to bullying!!!!!!! And yet again I am hanging on to speak with a human.

  • LauraFergusonBT Laura Ferguson (@LauraFergusonBT) reported

    @virginmedia 3 days of over an hour on hold trying to reach you. I'm calling the cancel your service department. How do I get hold of anyone please.
