    @virginmedia So why then a) does it specify postal and b) not provide a field for mobile number. At best it’s misleading and at worst incompetent

    owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia I do have a problem paying. I'm currently paying for a service where the Internet isn't working half then time. 5 times in the past month we have had no signal. You promise items with your packed Currently received 1/3 and had to complain about that over the phone.

    Bert Nash (@BertNashCha) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Poor. Very poor. 3 days trying, being on hold, being assured return calls, moving home team have to speak to Netflix team (don't even have it), then being told it's cancelled and being give packaging instructions. Ridiculous, wanted to stay with you.

    @virginmedia worst customer service ever

  • obpls1995
    owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia question for you. If I enter a contract with you where you promise X service +items and I promise to pay X amount. If I don't pay X amount am I breaking the contract?

  • wightpie
    Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Also given that link is for postal marketing how exactly does that help with phone calls? As it stands your systems are non-compliant

    @virginmedia Yet again an intermittent service in Area 20 BL1 2 this has now gone beyond a joke, paying for a service and not getting it

  • Baxy2001
    Baxy (@Baxy2001) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia please can you explain why I have been in a queue to speak to someone for over 35 minutes to try and cancel my contract? Absolute joke of a company, poor services and poor customer service.

  • BertNashCha
    Bert Nash (@BertNashCha) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Tried that many times. Not working within 3 days. Can you call ME instead to arrange? If not, cancelling service.

  • anthony_murphy1
    Anthony Murphy (@anthony_murphy1) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia is there a way for me to find out if my phone number has been leaked or involved in any form of data breach as I've been getting daily phone calls from people pretending to be you? Never anyone else so just intrigued.

    NJW (@NJWesthead) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @virginmedia Broadband/TV outage until 2:35pm but can’t register a loss of service as page doesn’t load. On 4G so problem is with you. Why advertise you’ll compensate if there’s no way to get it?!

    @terrificsue everyone out there be careful when receiving telephone calls and if they say they are from Virgin Media please check and check. I have been scammed today out of a lot of money . I am the one who thought would never be scammed but I was. Oohh .

    @catmur34 @virginmedia Similar to James. We called to say the complaint was ignored, they gave us a number C-170222706. Then we get an email to say it’s closed. Ok… we will be going to @ofcom. What a joke.

  • BycroftTom
    Tom Bycroft ❤🥁 (@BycroftTom) reported

    @virginmedia Over the phone agent was so rude and not helpful at all sick of your company i bought new contract and now been told no to get 3 wifi boosters which am entitled to

  • D_Law666
    David (@D_Law666) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia My point was really about your call centers causing more problems than solving them. Miscommunication has ended up with a technician coming out to the house when he isn't really needed. I was originally told all I needed to do was swap a new box for an old one.

  • donnaxx_xx
    xxDonnaxx 🌸 (@donnaxx_xx) reported

    @virginmedia 1gb broadband is useless with hub 4. Son has been told he needs to buy a mesh router or put up with no wifi. Having to connect to mobile for teams calls and you won’t let him go back to hub 3. Service is disgusting

  • Ian1603
    Ian1558 (@Ian1603) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks - still issues but I have checked the service status site and that site has confirmed I still have issues. Asked me to check again in four hours. If still not fixed they will book an engineer

  • patfxl
    Patricia F (@patfxl) reported

    @virginmedia I have signed in my account to check many times now and followed all the usual reboot... and done hard reset as discussed with your team. There is obviously an issue at a different level but there is no communication

  • Theoola1
    PEMPEHREMPE (@Theoola1) reported

    Virgin are fools. How can they reduce my unlimited phone data and now my signal coverage is moving mad. Can’t even keep up 4g @virginmedia

  • spacked
    katie hoolahan (@spacked) reported

    @virginmedia To even get the option to talk to someone I have to be willing to have my internet restarted/turned off for a bit, but I can't because it would interrupt my housemates that need it for work. Then phone lines are closed outside the hours that its okay for me to do that.

    @virginmedia Your lieing to a #Loyal customer been on the phone and your telling me £57 a month is the cheapest you do,its all LIES. #TheCustomerIsAlwaysRight

    @virginmedia The complaint was raised through your WhatsApp. I have spoke to them again today. They said it's not possible to ring me. I showed them the screenshot and then said sorry, we will ring you within 2 hours. 5 hours later still nothing. sthey are as useful as a chocolate teapot
