    @virginmedia In Dec, you sent an email thanking me for making changes & what I'd get from now on & it'd cost over twice as much as I was paying. I never asked for any changes & in one of the many, calls I've made, I was told that your Oomph bundle department had shut around the same time.

    @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?

    Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I do not want to be with you any more because you are doing my head in!!!! You have turned from being a very good company with good service to being the most disgusting people I have ever had the displeasure of coming in contact with!!!

    @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.

    @virginmedia With respect, your customer service advisors are useless. As is the technology for contacting them. As per my initial message. Last time I went through this I was booked a chat appointment by your twitter team with someone who specifically handled the complaint.

    @virginmedia I get your bills, that is how I realised as a loyal customer I am paying £40 plus a month for Internet access only. Fortunately for me and not for you BT Openreach have been installing fibre to home allowing me greater negotiating power as tou have no respect for loyalty.

    @virginmedia as a former TV customer, now just broadband, I want to reconnect a TV package. I already have 3 boxes in my house can they not be just reconnected instead of sending my out a box?

    @virginmedia @O2 Why is your Hotspot so poor? Never connects!

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

    @OldSparky6 @virginmedia I’m never going with them again. Genuinely don’t know how they are still a company that is allowed to operate when the customer service is this bad!

    @virginmedia At you can see, attention to detail has been missed within this response. My name is spelled wrong. Why am I not surprised. I’ve contacted their customer service 4 times and even walked into stores. It is still not resolved. They should reach out to me. #not-impressed

  • kesbyac
    Adrian Kesby (@kesbyac) reported

    @O2 I just want to change tariff to 10GB plan. I’m with Virgin Media so that becomes 20GB which is perfectly adequate. Sim Onlys are circa £15 which is fine but was told in store that I can’t port my number on the same network!

  • fents71
    Fentz (@fents71) reported

    @virginmedia seriously guys, 15 days to wait for someone to check what appears to be a damaged cable is not great customer service. It’s like last summer all over again!

  • dobbin1957
    Dobbin1957 (@dobbin1957) reported

    @virginmedia The service status page now says. 17.07 - you also sent a text to my wife who is the account holder at 08.07 today to say everything is fixed. So you clearly haven’t a clue what you are doing and yet you expect your customers to be patient. Time to give Virgin the boot I think.

  • MahmutTor
    Mahmut Tör (@MahmutTor) reported

    Dear @virginmedia and @ThreeUK One of you cut our broadband service, the other one doesn’t provide mobile signal even though we pay both of you. could you supply some pigeons please?

  • SWINGER46708173
    Hodl my Bags (@SWINGER46708173) reported

    @virginmedia Yes you can find a way to contact me and we can try sort the issue as it is over 6 weeks without been solved

    @virginmedia Installed 360. What genius decided all the channels I'm not subscribed to will appear as blank screens when I'm channel hopping and how do I make it stop? If that's a deliberate design feature it's awful.

    @Libra_Comms @virginmedia virgin media is completely ******* useless. they always pull this **** right when you actually want to sit down and watch tv 🙄

    @virginmedia what an appalling service you provide 😡 customer experience is shocking and only getting worse. Teams don’t talk to each other and complaints process is laughable. Get me to Sky. #terrible
