    Hey @virginmedia could your sales team STOP trying to call me everyday, I’ve told them I’m not interested and blocked the number but y’all somehow just keep calling and leave voice mails. I’m already a customer so please just take that as a IM NOT INTERESTED!!!

    Rajnish Razdan (@RajnishRazdan) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia If you’ve got something positive to contribute DM me, like getting someone to call me. Why would I remember the details of 2 hours that I will never get back

  • morefluids
    Sethina A Watson (@morefluids) reported from Bristol, England

    It is rubbish right now. Dropped my WiFi and couldn’t use mobile network. Service has been terrible past 3 weeks. Really bad @virginmedia #virginmedia Seems like it’s not just me

  • LetRIP
    Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia Quite the worst customer contact centre ever. Website does not offer phone or email contact. Only way to get web chat is to go to complaints page. 1 hour to get a 1 minute task done. Deliberately cut off twice. #poorservice

    @NadineDorries @virginmedia @O2 And that is why you are known as the most stupid MP ever

  • leedumble
    Lee (@leedumble) reported from Avonmouth, England

    @virginmedia why do I’ve over pay for my services that you can’t deliver customer service joke keep reading off a card no help what do ever what clown do I need to speak to . @SkyHelpTeam might be a able to help £144 a month and still not able to watch i player internet slow😡

  • gillih
    Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England

    @virginmedia I have got this sorted with your team now. Helpful person. But I suggest changing your auto system to give callers an idea of wait time. Better customer service.

  • gman7634
    graham monks (@gman7634) reported from Patchway, England

    @virginmedia you said you know what the problem is but no one is working at the box!!!! Part 2

  • _dreamer_
    Pilar Gómez (@_dreamer_) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Actually, the new owners are porting their virgin contract here, if the contract is per property, and it will be Virgin providing the service, that would mean we DON'T have to pay the fee right?

  • DigitalJonathan
    Jonathan (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    Genius timing @virginmedia - webinar to deliver in 2 hours and now you go cold again. I’m not even surprised. Terrible company, utterly unreliable.

  • craigcapes
    Craig Capel (@craigcapes) reported from Bristol, England

    The £ gleaned by both @virginmedia and @SkySports in making it difficult for fee/ subscription paying members to watch “each others” content must clearly outweigh the customer service calls and complaints 🤬

  • garethbalmer
    Gareth Balmer (@garethbalmer) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia All good now - there were some power issues in another part of Gloucester that seemed to be causing the V6 box at our house and a few friends to restart. Very odd

  • chrisorman
    Chris Orman (@chrisorman) reported from Bradley Stoke, England

    Just spoken to @virginmedia customer services about red light on my hub. They GUARANTEED that the light will revert to white in the next 24 hours. Wonder what happen if their guarantee fails?

  • bethkorf
    Beth Ryan (@bethkorf) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia Its done now but fairly sure it shouldn't take your agents 45 mins to cancel sky and bt sports and change the TV package to the basic. Maybe more training or better systems are needed. Just saying Sky took about 3 minutes to cancel BT sports for me a year or so ago #competitors

  • alisterbetts
    Alister Betts (@alisterbetts) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia - if I have a problem actually logging in, it would appear that there is no way to actually contact you... help please!

  • TerryLeannepri1
    leanne (@TerryLeannepri1) reported from Avonmouth, England

    @virginmedia what is going on with the broadband as it's down again and I can't ring 150 from my landline as it's coming up that the number hasn't been recognised

    Can you really afford such bad PR for your crass behaviour @virginmedia ? I think not. Wake up and put it right please.

  • DrAmirHamid
    Dr Amir Hamid (@DrAmirHamid) reported

    @virginmedia 2nd time in a month there has been a disruption in broadband. Poor

  • citizen_first25
    citizen_first (@citizen_first25) reported

    @virginmedia why have you got rid of Channel 150 that's TV does a price go down on my subscription ? As this is one of the channels, I watch every day very disappointed

  • clairebaigent
    Claire Shaw (@clairebaigent) reported

    @virginmedia I will not be sending you a private message because despite repeated calls over the past 2 years you have done nothing to help or sort it out. You’re currently charging a 90 yr old man £160 for services he doesn’t use, so please don’t patronise me.

  • elainerust
    Dr Elaine Rust (@elainerust) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve sent a direct message but have received an auto response identical to the message you have already sent me. Is anyone prepared to help?

  • RobSFowler
    Rob Fowler (@RobSFowler) reported

    @virginmedia this is disgraceful! Look into it and do better, much better. From a customer of yours that is currently considering his options!

  • SirPuppetPaul
    𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 (Sign name: Puppet) (@SirPuppetPaul) reported

    @MichelleBeckett Truly awful. I worked in customer services for a very long time and @virginmedia just needs to get better. It's never about the profits, it's what you're doing for the customer. Put yourself in Michelle's shoes. How would YOU like to be treated like this?! I'm sorry Michelle.

    @theashrb They all read of a script. If Customer wants A then take this step to see if you can offer them B instead. I hate O2/virgin media

  • KarlDyer15
    Karl Dyer (@KarlDyer15) reported

    @virginmedia - Anyone able to help with a major issue with your system? Beyond a joke how poor your service has became.

  • 2124Jim
    james mcgarry (@2124Jim) reported

    @virginmedia Outages do occur and that's understandable, what is beyond ridiculous is your customer service team. To tell people there's no outage showing when near enough a whole town is down is insulting.
