  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia It’s NOT an upgrade which I made clear on the phone. Again, no mention of this being the issue.

  • CoZWeLL CoZWeLL (@CoZWeLL) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia @SkySportsBoxing chance of sorting the **** picture we’ve paid £26 for out? Cracking and cutting out constantly.

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Bet you anything they won’t I’m sorry to say. Never known a change in contract to take a week. Normally done there and then on the phone. The lady didn’t mention anything about this being the case. What now? I’m not waiting a week I’m afraid.

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia The hold times aren’t the issue. I’d wait happily if I got an answer at the end. The issue is being hung up on after an hour then having a call answered only to have to listen to dead air for over 30 minutes while whoever is supposed to be helping has forgotten to logout ....1/2

  • cadeharry Nightsky Ceilings (@cadeharry) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia You are the worse Internet provider in the PR postcode what has happened 4weeks now intermittent service its like flip a coin to see if the Internet is working. And the lies about adjusting my bill has never happened time to say goodbye.

  • m_stephens8 macauley stephens (@m_stephens8) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia is the worst for speaking to an actually person🤯 adding packages unauthorised then making the bill nearly double.. jokers

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia No, I have one. The complaint referenced twice in this thread. One complaint....zero call backs!!!

  • joanreece jo m b (@joanreece) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia why is your internet so rubbish? We get a bit of rain and wind and the whole TV goes off with no connectivity its woeful. We have sat here for a few hours now with no tv at all and were paying £49 a month for wifi that doesnt work!!!

  • torisprung Tori Sprung (@torisprung) reported from Liverpool, England

    @SkyHelpTeam We haven’t been booked in. Following some quick and informative enquiries, @virginmedia can install a new service in 3days; yet, a @SkyUK engineer can’t come out to us for over a week? When we pay a monthly small fortune, this all feels like terrible customer service

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia ....before going to lunch. Your system is set to terminate unanswered calls after just over an hour. This is much more enraging than having to wait in a queue. We’re British, it’s what we do. We DO NOT HANG UP on people. It is beyond rude. #rude #virginmediasuck #stillnointernet

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    Hey @virginmedia On the phone to your customer service for 80 minutes in total now and counting. Been put on hold for 30 minutes of that. Losing will to live! Pound to a penny you lot cut me off in a minute......

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Hi John. Still no resolution I’m afraid. It’s getting closer to next bill date. Which BTW I’ve received two bills for. One at £27.49 and the other £113.00 and a double bill request which is laughable! I still don’t get why the next gen box is influencing my request. Today please

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia we have been trying to arrange our virgin services to be moved to our new house since 23/11/20. We were supposed to get a call back from one of your guys yesterday to help with a self install - no joy. Since yesterday I’ve spent over 3 hours on hold, been.......1/4

  • MattKeating1981 Matt's MerARTki (@MattKeating1981) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia absolutely shocking signal on box office!!! £24.99 for what looks like it's being stream on a Nintendo 64.

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Another issue is if I were to get a phone call in a weeks time I cannot just stop the job I do to answer it. Where will we be then? Having worked for Virgin I know exactly what’s going to happen. This won’t get sorted until my new bill gets paid for services I don’t want ....

  • Hnc365 Howard Croston 🏁🇬🇧🇬🇬 (@Hnc365) reported from Preston, England

    @EppsRacer @virginmedia Gave up with @virginmedia many moons ago with the internet constantly being down which was laughable as I'd been talked into an upgrade that would cure the issue. Gave up with the call centre and sent a letter basically saying stuff! your contract

  • JoeHolmes1994 Joe (@JoeHolmes1994) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia are actually have the WORST customer service ever. No wonder they have never won any awards

  • Knitswithbeer knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia Yes, but each deadline came and went with no resolution and the notification by text didn't happen Anyway, there's no point in this conversation any more as there's nothing you can do except make the company look bad with each answer I give

  • Kennicus7 Charlie SB 🐝 #33 /// (@Kennicus7) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia paid for boxing and the signal keeps going

  • DannyMcCann9 Danny McCann (@DannyMcCann9) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Refund please.... £26.00.... quality is crap...

  • lealoupilky Mrs H (@lealoupilky) reported

    @virginmedia I need someone to call me spoke to two more people tonight and been fobbed off again saying can’t help me!!!! What is wrong with the world of customer service these days !!!

  • andymuza CMDR Andy Fireblade Muza (@andymuza) reported

    @virginmedia I am already paying over the odds, WHY IS THIS? You should be reducing my bill or increasing my speed to 1GB not charging me more when I'm pay more than I should. 1gb package is £79 yet I am paying almost £82 for 362MBPS treat your customers better instead of making us pay more.

  • MarkDavenport90 Mark Davenport (@MarkDavenport90) reported

    @virginmedia all I can say is that 'movers', 'pre-installation', 'faults' & 'complaints' are an absolute shambles. I've been a loyal customer for 10+ years, I CANCELLED my planned change of address in good time & it's been an absolute nightmare ever since.Literally nobody cares.

  • Jayshreetailor1 Jayshree tailor (@Jayshreetailor1) reported

  • Sharpy_1969 Sharpy (@Sharpy_1969) reported

    @virginmedia This is the type of service you're charging me £94 +£9 price hike in April. Not impressed!

  • PorkyMukester Porky Mukester (@PorkyMukester) reported

    @virginmedia Aww guess who guys!! It's me again. Broadband outage for the 4th time this week. Same problem, massive packet loss, so no service. Should I call support again? Well of course! Love being with Virgin Media!!!

  • BarryHodson Barry Hodson (@BarryHodson) reported

    @virginmedia Put universal credit to one side,there are billions of people hard up & struggling 2 keep warm let alone watch TV or have broad band. Is it not an ideal time 4 giant corporations to tighten their belts & help less well off. How much wealth do u need at the expense of the workers

  • EmergeVerge Geoff Goulash (@EmergeVerge) reported

    @virginmedia I have now had contact with 4 of your customer services team, none of whom has been of any help. You sold me an upgraded internet connection on Monday and are now failing to honour the contract. Who do I need to speak to to get this resolved?
