-
James Jukes (@jamesjukes17) reported from Whitfield, England@virginmedia really do provide a disgraceful service. After a year of shockingly bad WiFi I was informed by their call centre that I could end my services upon end of annual contract with no notice period. Phoned again today to be told I had to give 30 days notice, meaning I 1/2

bob mitchell (@bobmitchell82) reported from Margate, England@virginmedia I checked on the app and it says my account has finished . I’m not going to waste more of my time being left on hold when I have requested someone phone me back and been told 24-48 hours and still nothing. If only the customer service were as helpful as your Twitter team

Al's Adventures (@als_adventures) reported from Chestfield, England@virginmedia He has a letter as a review. So we need to speak to someone to cancel it. He’s being charged each month according to this letter. Goodness knows how long for.

Sam Sparrow (@SamRSparrow) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England@virginmedia service down in CT10 area, loads of people reporting this on social media etc but service status says it is fine. Can you please look into this ASAP?!
-
Daniel Burke (@Dan13lBurk3) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England@virginmedia I’m not a technician, can you guys just let me leave my contract after this. Terrible customer service, even worse service, waiting to join @EE but stuck in a contract that only seems to work one way. You really are a shambles.
-
James Green (@jimmygreen83) reported from Margate, England@virginmedia Hello, thank you for your quick reply. If i search via postcode it states there is a broadband issue but if i use my app it just states a tv issue. Have try rebooting twice and issue has stayed.
-
Sheradon Dublin (@sheradondublin) reported from Margate, England@virginmedia Hello again. Your WiFi is playing up again. Same problem as before, intermittent signal regardless of where in the house. Booster most likely needed. The ‘contact us’ option of your WiFi-tester app is also not working.
-
James Green (@jimmygreen83) reported from Margate, England@virginmedia... broadband has been down all day and expected back at 5:25pm, still not working. Now, recheck the app and not expected back until 8am tomorrow! Seriously?! Why? What has happened? How can it be down for that long? Ridiculous, especially when people work from home.
-
Cary Wright (@CaryAWright) reported from Margate, England@Dan13lBurk3 @virginmedia My neighbour has spoken to Customer Service too, who have informed him that it will not be fixed until the 28th!!!
-
Jason Fuller (@jsfuller75) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England@virginmedia Is there a fix for your customer service as no one seems to want to help me on your messaging service.
-
Grant Saffery (@grant_saffery) reported from Margate, England1st day with @virginmedia & **** all is working. Waited all day for an “engineer” to come & make an abysmal attempt at installation before telling me everything was working & then ******* off rather sharpish. Spent the rest of evening on phone trying to sort. Appalling service
-
Margate Jack (@Jackd_cpfc) reported from Margate, England@money4nuffin @virginmedia This is the 1st issue I’ve had with them in fairness and not happy with the way they are handling it. Other than screen shots of other peoples phones I’ve had no updates
-
Sam Sparrow (@SamRSparrow) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England@virginmedia Already done it and there is an outage in the area and now saying won’t be updated until 9.30pm? How am I supposed to work?
-
Daniel Burke (@D4nBu7ke) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England@virginmedia Nothing at all, I would like the complaint looked at today and I want a call or email. Not sms.
-
Al's Adventures (@als_adventures) reported from Chestfield, England@virginmedia can you please give me a way to contact you. You are charging my elderly Uncle for a mobile he’s never approved. For years. I can’t get through the line cuts me off. This is not acceptable
-
Sheradon Dublin (@sheradondublin) reported from Margate, EnglandMorning @virginmedia, I’m starting to become a little fed up with your current business model. You take my money, but supply a less than reliable WiFi service. Will it take a cancelled direct debit to get your attention? Please fix. 😡

Wolf of X (@WolfofX) reportedFor more than a decade, Stan Beaton held onto something that many people would consider priceless. It wasn't jewelry, money, or a photograph. It was the voice of his wife, Ruby. Ruby passed away from cancer in 2003. Before she died, she had recorded the greeting on their home answering machine. It became the last recording of her voice, and whenever grief felt overwhelming, Stan would play it just to hear her speak again. He was so afraid of losing that message that he stayed with the same phone company for years, believing it was the safest way to protect it. Then, in 2014, everything changed. Following routine maintenance by Virgin Media, the voicemail suddenly disappeared. Stan was devastated. He believed the final piece of his wife's voice had been erased forever. When Virgin Media learned what had happened, they refused to give up. The company assembled a team of 11 engineers, who spent three days searching through backup systems and archived data. One executive compared the task to searching for a needle in a haystack. Against the odds, they found it. When the recording was played back to Stan during a BBC Radio Leeds interview, he broke down in tears. "That's her... It's just a wonderful, wonderful sound that I thought was lost forever." Virgin Media later provided him with copies of the recording so it would never be lost again. Sometimes technology isn't just about cables, servers, and code. Sometimes, it's about giving someone one more chance to hear the voice of the person they loved most.

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.
-
Si Smith (@sjslfcforever) reported@virginmedia how hard is it to speak to someone who actually understands the problem I’m having??
-
Stephen Hampson (@StephenHampson) reported@virginmedia Do better for your customers. Take the feedback on board and amend your help pages to include the streaming box. Walk in our shoes and think how you feel when a big company treats you like dirt and still takes your money without a problem.. but you won't .
-
Michael Crick (@MichaelLCrick) reported@MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK As I have said here before, Virgin Media treat customers with total contempt. The worst type of British capitalism. Branson must be so ashamed.

DbowNews (@Dbow500) reported@Starlink Exciting times. VIRGIN MEDIA BULLIES NEED KNOCKING DOWN MANY PEGS. MY PREVIOUS CONTRACT STARTED AT £36.. WITHIN 2 YEARS IT ROSE TO £92 FOR A BASIC INTERNET PACKAGE. CONTRACT ENDED I MOVED ASAP. NOT REALISING VIRGIN WERE STILL CHARGING ME, RACKING UP A DEBT. RUINED MY CREDIT SCORE WHEN I REFUSED TO PAY THEM. I OFFERED 50% AND THEY POINT BLANK REFUSED. THE WORST CUSTOMER LOYALTY I'VE EVER DEALT WITH.

𝔹𝕠𝕓-𝕓𝕒𝕔𝕜𝕒𝕓𝕚𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪 ⚒ 🫧 (@Bob_backability) reported@virginmedia why can't you sync your transmission with the terrestrial or Sky service because my neighbour is ruining these games for me. He screams like a banshee on heat 40 seconds "before" we score. #NORENG

Sarah (@sarahvkeenan) reported@virginmedia who can I contact about my broadband not working for 4 days?
