  • BevFrankland Bev Frankland (@BevFrankland) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia That's all well and good but you have insisted we update our box or it will not work, your website link is not working, text service and chat not responding and your telephone advisor insists I buy a new service whilst your letter states its free! Not paying more for less!!

  • LeslieBrown953 Leslie Brown (@LeslieBrown953) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Disgusted at the speed of my broadband I am receiving. Signal very very slow. Paying for M50 broadband. Feel I am paying over the odds for what I am getting. But I already know your reply. Everything ok our side. Also received that the price is going up #ripoff

  • neosalad neosalad (@neosalad) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @NatalieeeLoweee @virginmedia I had this issue. Got home from work to watch charity shield #MCILIV after avoiding the score and it was unwatchable because of the sound issues for me so I gave up. Will just watch #motd tonight instead. #nothappy

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your help with this, but can you please refrain from using foreign call centres; it is incredibly frustrating trying to explain to someone that you’re unhappy about your bill, who interprets this as a technical problem.......

  • Stickings90 Graeme Stickings (@Stickings90) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia what was my TiVo box meant to be updating. I woke in the night to find it on and the screen saying it was updating software, don't switch off. I rang 151 to find out, but the automatic system said there was an issue and sent a restart pulse 1/2

  • Janthebestmam Janice (@Janthebestmam) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia its for my broad band service

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia Media. I ditched the TV part of the bundle years ago, but am still currently paying £50.99 p/m for 150mb broadband and a phone we never use. Come September, when you increase it by another £3.50 it’ll have gone from £37 in Dec 16 to £54.49 - A ridiculous 47% INCREASE......

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia This has never been suggested before; you’ve been quite happy just to take the money and then hit me with an annual increase way above inflation. I’ve spoken to customer services on a couple of times in the last couple of months, and the offers have been quite frankly insulting.

  • CazzaW CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Cancelled @virginmedia Starplayz subscription as they have no channel number and no app to search for programmes! Crazy and call centre staff don’t understand why this is a problem. Don’t waste £5 a month.

  • rl_chris_higham Chris Higham (@rl_chris_higham) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia £20 a month 'existing customer' penalty on the best you can offer me Vs the best new customer deal is just too much, afraid that's a cancellation from a 10 years loyal customer. £240 is a lot of money!

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Worst customer service I've ever encountered. On multiple occasions over several years. Rudeness and lack of knowledge being the main issues, along with the usual very long hold times.

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia can you please advise how I can easily cancel my service ASAP. It's (deliberately) impossible to contact your company by phone.

  • BevFrankland Bev Frankland (@BevFrankland) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia you write stating have to upgrade to free tivo box & I must contact you 2 arrange. Web site doesn't work, no answer online chat, no answer on text and phone advisor tries to sell me an upgrade. Then email advising price rise in inbox. - total joke!!!

  • ThunderbirdWPC Tracey Ainsley (@ThunderbirdWPC) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia Tried to pm you but won’t let me. Someone coming Wednesday now to sort problem

  • Darylx Daryl (@Darylx) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Can you please help me. I've rang twice to upgrade my TiVo box free upgrade. Tried online can't do it. First time cut off. Web chat I tried was told I had to phone.40 mins in second time lady was having system issues so transferred me and guess what I was cut off

  • ThomasMcGowan1 Thomas McGowan (@ThomasMcGowan1) reported from Gateshead, England

    right shower of shite the customer service from @virginmedia paying for monthly for nothing 😡🤬

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Media service. I waited 30 mins to speak to someone, after selecting an electronic option to cancel. "I'm not authorised to cancel". Now back on hold. Virgin has the worst customer service of any company I've interacted with. It's insane.

  • BevFrankland Bev Frankland (@BevFrankland) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Just send me the new box that You insist I need so that I can get the service I'm paying for

  • Jonnycushlow Jonathan Cushlow (@Jonnycushlow) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia your broadband is garbage. Forever puttin the price up and your service gets worse #sky incoming

  • fredspoon pipkins (@fredspoon) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @DMcCSE17 @virginmedia All phone signal in London is terrible including public Wi-fi. I love when I come back to north east for a decent signal and decent Wi-fi speed :)

  • singh_indy Indy Singh (@singh_indy) reported

    @virginmedia despite being a victim of fraud previously and there being fraud alerts on my account -you have let a fraud deter process a new order on my name..To make matters worse I’ve discussed this twice tonight and cut off each time by your customer service team.#birginmobile

  • PJandh jane doe (@PJandh) reported

    @virginmedia How many times do I have to report ‘intermittent broadband issues’ before you actually do something. It’s interfering with my work and driving me mad & your service agents are inept. How many times a day do I need to reboot the damned hub-the answers pick a number!

  • Ellen95828880 Ellen (@Ellen95828880) reported

    @virginmedia why is your WiFi so slow, I pay for 1 GB I'm luck to get 20 MB

  • sunnyssoftware Huey(CEO of Gay) (@sunnyssoftware) reported

    @virginmedia Holy **** yall actually replied, I made that tweet as a semi joke- I'll tell my parents to give yall a call and check in cuz we've been waiting for a while💀

  • Jerball3 Jeremy Ball (@Jerball3) reported

    @virginmedia As a customer I'm not immune to rising costs and unfortunately for you will have to take a business decision to move provider. It won't be difficult as everytime else is cheaper.

  • PaulCoo19421392 Paul Cook (@PaulCoo19421392) reported

    @virginmedia Two full hours stuck in chat with a Bot, all I want to do is cancel my contract.

  • r_t_o Matt Thomas (@r_t_o) reported

    @virginmedia Two evenings, over three hours and I STILL haven't spoken to anyone who isn't a bot. I've had no answers and I'm no closer to finding a resolution than I was when I started this.

  • markybhoy1973 Mark 🍀 H (@markybhoy1973) reported

    @virginmedia constantly getting a CS2200 code when playing back prerecorded shows on my additional box. All was fine until recent "upgrade". Can't get through on your phone lines and get sent to Text help and Text help never comes through. Can you please assist.

  • Jaxchamberlain1 Jackie Chamberlain (@Jaxchamberlain1) reported
