  • StephenMonk1970 The Monk (@StephenMonk1970) reported from Preston, England

    Help @virginmedia. Once again I'm left unable to ring my doctors because you attempted the direct debit early and it failed. My Oomph sim will now not work until I make a payment. Please that's all I want to do. Do I need to go to Ofcom or the Ombudsman. This seriously effects me

    @virginmedia hi!! We're having issues calling our landline from Vodafone mobiles. Have googled and it looks like it's a porting issue. But one of your technicians has just called and talked to me like I'm stupid and told me it's not. Can you help???

  • StephenMonk1970 The Monk (@StephenMonk1970) reported from Preston, England

    Virgin Mobile. Utterly useless. All I want is to send a text and call people. My bill isn't due until 8th May. There is no online help. Really cheesed off. #virginmobile #virginmedia #virginbilling

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia Account which then changed my bill been in the phone today to customer service who advised it’s fixed now and will have the confirmation through, and just had it and it is still wrong. I have had someone called Ross from billing,dealing with this but now no response from him 🙄

  • lamsom Dave Gracey (@lamsom) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Your mobile network is crap & your customer service is just as bad.

  • lamsom Dave Gracey (@lamsom) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the phone, I can travel to different areas and get 4 bars on my phone and it works no problem, the problem is in the area I live.The reception always used to be fine but for quite some time now it’s been awful, I currently have one bar.

    @virginmedia Nope. Gone down 6 times in 24 hours.

  • Siousie1 Siousie (@Siousie1) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. It was never deactivated, hence it has been compromised. I can't do it from my end as it wants a password that I don't have as we are no longer customers and probably wouldn't work now anyway. Please could you deactivate your end ASAP?

  • Olredsfan2 Olredsfan (@Olredsfan2) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t know if you received my last message but on service checker No network issues found but when checking connected devices initially kept getting Technical issue but now all devices show Improve WiFi signal and only 2 bars

  • Fuzzwoof Steve (@Fuzzwoof) reported

    @virginmedia Do you actually have human beings available to help sort out my (yet again) dead broadband rather than an automated switchboard telling me the only option is an engineer in a few days time? Extremely annoyed doesn't even begin to cover it.

  • gdgwhite Giles White (@gdgwhite) reported

    @virginmedia Sure. But your customer service team assured me, first time (around 3 Nov), 'that money won't be taken from your account', and second time (on 24 Nov), 'that money will be returned to your account' on 4 Dec.

  • WWE__History WWE Today In History (@WWE__History) reported

    @virginmedia Ok, no problem. Thanks.

  • ronniemould jon (@ronniemould) reported

    Terrible service from @virginmedia as usual, internet has been totally down for 4 days. Impossible to speak to anyone, just stupid recorded message saying there are ‘intermittent issues’. @richardbranson - sort your shitty company out. Get more than 1 technician and person in CC

  • bradfreeman123 Freeman 🤷🏻‍♂️ (@bradfreeman123) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried all of these steps previously with the support team over the phone and it resolved the issue for all of 12 hours. The internet speed is the issue, it will go from 180mbps plus to 12-15mbps and then shoot up again then down and so on
