    @BBCWatchdog Is it me or is @virginmedia really poor with customer service!!

  • Gemgwar Gemma Brayne (@Gemgwar) reported from Armitage with Handsacre, England

    @virginmedia really not impressed with your service. No idea what is going on and when I’m actually getting my broadband. Your team just keep lying to me and it’s frustrating!!

  • mkcU2war Mark Crossley (@mkcU2war) reported from Fradley and Streethay, England

    @virginmedia been on the phone for over an hour then you’ve just cut me off. You have been taking payments from me and you cannot tell me what I’m paying for. It’s looking like theft. Disgraceful service.

  • timmo1963 Tim Moore (@timmo1963) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @MickHarkin8 @virginmedia Not true, £99 for my colleague at work, been a customer for over 10 years.

  • timmo1963 Tim Moore (@timmo1963) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia Hi, thanks for the reply. I am an existing customer and I spoke to Glen on 150 earlier today. Still struggling to log on but just need my Virgin area code now and can’t find it.

    Hi @virginmedia just tried to take up the £99 ultimate oomph bundle only to be quoted £140!! Can’t log in when I try to purchase online help needed please 🤔

  • 5tu1987 Stuart Hurcombe (@5tu1987) reported from Armitage with Handsacre, England

    @virginmedia You mean the number we have used that have fed us countless information that is untrue/impossible to achieve to try and ‘keep us happy’. Also love the identical response to the previous tweet.. Nice template! Hopefully speak to someone in the week who maybe WANTS to help us

  • timmo1963 Tim Moore (@timmo1963) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @BBCWatchdog can you help me with @virginmedia please. 4 faulty boxes in 18 months, overcharged for the package I have, they never answer the phone 🤬🤯

  • Neilelse1974 Neil else (@Neilelse1974) reported from Chellaston, England

    @virginmedia That does not answer the question I spoke to your representative, ‘what is the best price for loyalty you can offer me for the bigger bundle ‘ can you please help me on this. Thanks

  • timmo1963 Tim Moore (@timmo1963) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia a new low, even by your standards, 4th TiVo box in 18 months and this one managed 20 days before breaking down 👏👏👏

  • billyrobson Billy Robson✊🏻💨 (@billyrobson) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia have we got a problem in LE65 2PP

  • satyanimi satyan panchal (@satyanimi) reported from Coalville, England

    @virginmedia I will try once more otherwise yet another complaint Customer care will determine future business and future recommendations is something that seems to get ignored by Virgin.

  • mkcU2war Mark Crossley (@mkcU2war) reported from Fradley and Streethay, England

    @virginmedia you have been taking money out of my account, and after an hour + on the phone you are unable to tell me why. It’s looking like theft. Disgraceful service.

  • ubermodd spooky sad face 🙁🎃 (@ubermodd) reported from Lichfield, England

    why is virgin media down though

  • timmo1963 Tim Moore (@timmo1963) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia poor, very poor, in fact absolutely useless

  • 5tu1987 Stuart Hurcombe (@5tu1987) reported from Armitage with Handsacre, England

    @Gemgwar @virginmedia Basically.. nobody knows what the process is! Told we had to wait in ALL DAY yesterday for nobody to come (when we apparently now it’s only a package being delivered) STILL! nobody is clear if it’s a package being delivered or an engineer. Shocking service for what we are paying!

  • satyanimi satyan panchal (@satyanimi) reported from Coalville, England

    @virginmedia It's so difficult speaking to customer care as they do not listen to your needs. I will need to cancel or downngrade to a price I can afford. Can't be hard can it. I am out of my 11 month contract and go anywhere if I don't get a reasonable offer to stay

  • SummerfieldGabe Gabe (@SummerfieldGabe) reported from Lichfield, England

    omg @virginmedia has the WORST customer service 😭🔫

  • bond_gary gary 'uk' bond (@bond_gary) reported from Hilton, England

    @RockandRollSue @virginmedia I got rid my contract with virgin due to a bad reception, it took three months... each time I contacted them to cancel( when I could get through) they said it was all sorted, but they hadn’t done a thing, in the end I agreed to going pay as you go and just never used it again.

  • JamesKent06 James Kent (@JamesKent06) reported

    @virginmedia My Internet keeps dropping out. Every time it does I have to reconnect all my tech. I don't know why I'm paying so much for such bad service. So frustrating!

  • PresBastards Denis (@PresBastards) reported

    @virginmedia Just to to wait 5 working days. Which means next Friday. Which means I can't login to work for a week. Which obviously has ramifications. It's a joke.

  • philippa488 Philippa Lyles (@philippa488) reported

    @virginmedia why is my service down 🤬🤬

  • FickleFish Sam 💙 (@FickleFish) reported

    @Rohdza @virginmedia THEY ARE SO RUBBISH IVE RAISED A COMPLAINT BEFORE AND THEY SENT ME A LETTER SAYING THEY TRIED TO PHONE ME AND FOBBED THE MATTER OFF AND CLOSED THE COMPLAINT LOL ABSOLUTELY USELESS AND CRAP SERVICE

  • nadworks Nadja von Massow 💚🌎 #FBPE (@nadworks) reported

    @rchatley @virginmedia Yes, there’s an issue. But no idea why they don’t bother updating this on their website.

  • Richardw9427 Richard Williams (@Richardw9427) reported

    @virginmedia It says by the 14th - 2 days from now. That seems like an awful long time to wait, and a long time for people to be burning through mobile data (if they can afford it). If there's any way it can be flagged as urgent that would be appreciated. Seems like the whole area is down

  • kkmusic Kevin Kerrigan (@kkmusic) reported

    @virginmedia it is not this line it is the area 15. this happens every single time and always told to run line test which it never is. it is area 15 fault. ongoing ... please report

  • mattjohnharris Matthew Harris (@mattjohnharris) reported

    @virginmedia your compensation model is so bad! We have had over 32 hours of down time in our town this week over 3 days. Everyone has been cramming into coffee shops and restaurants that use BT.
