  • thombie123 John Thombs (@thombie123) reported from London, England

    Virgin Media are the most untrustworthy company I have ever come across I cancelled my TV service #untrustworthy

  • thombie123 John Thombs (@thombie123) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s not if you fell short, you guys did fall short . I cancelled my service and it should have been cutoff on the 10th March not the 10th of Feb. all I wanted to here that it was going to be restored. #untrustworthy

  • gary2323 G.Marshall Gleghorn (@gary2323) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Called from Bangalore touting me to renew contract offering me upgrades but lied about cost, sorted this out, then VM continued to bill me at rate I never agreed too, then we had four days of outages, then Bangalore team just disconnect if they cannot sort out a problem

  • thombie123 John Thombs (@thombie123) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I have spoke. To your CS team and I was passed to 3 different departments and basically told some admin nonsense about a call I made in October. Nothing as been resolved I don’t have TV service and I want have Broadband service soon as I will cancelling the that as well.

  • themib Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Big fan of the NXT UK roster promoting the wrong Virgin Media channel for Paramount Network (it's 150).

  • Patrick60425645 Patrick Barrett (@Patrick60425645) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Yes, fix the navigation, have serious look at you chat app, as in the Name chat, is not what your application does, you using AI/ word recognition and you still list the reply as Agent. Having spent 10 min on your site. No thanks Virgin.

  • SpencerSCarter Spencer Carter (@SpencerSCarter) reported from South Ockendon, England

    Really shocked, but sadly not surprised, by the service from @virginmedia as an existing customer for many years, I’m overlooked in favour of new ones. No care and lack of customer loyalty. Will be talking about it on my show tomorrow

  • jta1497 Right Here Right Now.... (@jta1497) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia @richardbranson @bt_uk virgin your broadband service in waltham Abbey is disgraceful, even though we have complained you fail to resolve my problems, and are no delivering on your own contract terms. I want this resolved or released frommy contract @poppy_tompkinsx

  • TomRoss_ Tom Ross (@TomRoss_) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Yes there are issues showing. But this is direct through the TiVo box not the app.

  • MarkBur97728871 Mark Burrows (@MarkBur97728871) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

  • jta1497 Right Here Right Now.... (@jta1497) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia the worst company for broadband @richardbranson and your name is attached to it. @Offcom please investigate the shambles off an outfit

  • halalcosco halal cosmetics co (@halalcosco) reported

    @virginmedia please can you confirm if there is an outage in the BB2 area. Our wifi and tv are not working. Thanks

  • HiddenH0B0 J.D.Rowson (@HiddenH0B0) reported

    It's disgusting that an existing customer is expected to pay £22 a month more for the same broadband as a new customer. If existing customer deals were anywhere close to that of the new customer deal, virgin would retain a lot more customers. Another customer lost.. #VirginMedia

  • TInderbiscuit Gareth Morris (@TInderbiscuit) reported

    @virginmedia Two issues here... 1. Mike was already reaching out to you. You just needed to respond but didn't. 2. It's clear from the data he's posted that you aggressively throttle your users below the rates you promise. It's not really about how I feel. I'm just shopping around.

  • epalvosh Epalvosh (@epalvosh) reported

    Poxy @ITVX removing the ITV catch up service from @virginmedia 😠.

  • Mikey1892 Michael Andrew (@Mikey1892) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely appalled with the customer service I just received. Won’t be recommending people your way. Explained my situation on Thursday and told to call back today and met with a woman with a severe attitude problem. Avoid at all costs!!!!

  • sianjackson1 sian jackson 🕯 #BeMoreBurgess 🕯Star Trek fan (@sianjackson1) reported

  • FinolaSloyanPR Finola Sloyan - Brand building PR for B2B (@FinolaSloyanPR) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @virginmedia what is happening in postcode PO5 - no internet since yesterday mid day and your help messages don’t provide a solution. How many times are i going to read ‘try again in 5 hours’ ??!!

  • kjrocker kjrocker (@kjrocker) reported

    It's frustrating to know that @virginmedia have FTTP a monopoly in the UK and are taking advantage of it. They have little incentive to improve their customer service and provide a reliable service when they know customers have limited options. @Ofcom is asleep. #virginmedia
