    @virginmedia Instead of providing all these "upgrades" to the service how about just providing a SERVICE that we pay for 🤬

    @virginmedia Hi Ty 4 the reply. Very frustrating when I'm using data at home just to receive watsapp messages. i spoke to someone yesterday afternoon. Some settings were changed & was promised it would elevate the problem, but as I described to the chap on the phone this will not rectify it.

    @virginmedia It’s a media account, but it was more about the quality of the call. It’s not the way to treat a customer. Thanks

    @virginmedia Whoops. Maybe I should have clarified...My connection is fine, it's your packages that need to change to give more upload capacity to customers. P.s you guys deliver a solid service to me, and have done for years.

    @virginmedia All signals are working. My issue is I have been paying for anonymous call rejection for a few years and it has not been working since last year. I have rang up many times and still not fixed. I have been paying for this service even though it is not working!

  • vickymanutd7
    Victoria Smith (@vickymanutd7) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Well I can’t because I haven’t got my account number at hand and it’s a waste of time ringing up your customer service to check because on hold for ages and can’t even use my phone because that isn’t working either

  • Libra_Comms
    Ali Gudgeon ✍🏻️ (@Libra_Comms) reported from Preston, England

    Debating whether to switch from @virginmedia to @skytv after being told I can’t get new deals as I’m a loyal customer of 9 years. They’ve also put the price of my package up twice in the last 8 months 😬

    Just had a call from @virginmedia - yep right. Saying my broadband was slow because of files being downloaded without my knowledge blah blah. When I said I don’t have Virgin Media broadband was informed that all the internet in my area goes through their servers...😩

  • k_birc
    Keith Birchall (@k_birc) reported from Wigan, England

    Three different calls today from people claiming to be from @virginmedia wanting to fix 'faults' on my line by installing software on my phone. I find these funny and drag the calls out but some people may be fooled.

    @virginmedia keep ringing me on a daily basis! Sometimes I can’t answer and they leave a long, silent voicemail! When I do answer, they put the phone down on me! I know it’s Virgin because if I try to ring back I get a recorded msg saying they’ll try again soon!

  • TinaLawrenson
    Tina Lawrenson (@TinaLawrenson) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia Have done each time wasting an hour of my time with no resolving .. not meaning to be harsh but not used to poor service wasted six hours already when you add up wasted hours

  • McGovernDanDan
    Danielle Hickey (@McGovernDanDan) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia The worker who was in charge told me the complaint would go to him so basically it was a waste of time. I have complained but I’m not confident in your processes 😡

    Victoria Smith (@vickymanutd7) reported from St Helens, England

    Seriously @virginmedia are a shocking company, internet just goes down and phones and try to ring them and no answer I guess ur costumer service don’t want to explain why they haven’t got the service pay for well next call will be cancellation

    @BorisJohnson @virginmedia @O2 You change the law that enables them to charge and not congratulate them for sticking with how things were. Have you any idea how stupid that is?

    Olive (@mbonbs) reported

    @virginmedia I am now being told by a live chat agent that the device is not even in stock and I had to reach out to find this out. How can you promise delivery for a device you don't even have in stock? Appauling customer service

  • RawleyChirs
    Chirs Rawley (@RawleyChirs) reported

    @virginmedia No, nothing resolved. As predicted. I'm still in an online queue but no-one will respond. Farce. I don't have the words to describe how bad @virginmedia is.

  • yelliott6
    Yvonne Elliott (@yelliott6) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I have and have been told the TV and Internet is down till about 7.45pm today. Then they text me a link which doesn't work. Just real poor customer service to be honest.

    @virginmedia could you please add a link to your website that tells customers how to get in touch regarding a deceased customer? No facility to search. No obvious option to phone or email? Its not very helpful. Would appreciate contact details please.

    @NadineDorries @virginmedia @O2 Utter nonsense, you either know it and you’re lying or you don’t, in which case you’re an idiot
