Clare Old (@enkeli85) reported from Southampton, EnglandDisconnect from @virginmedia on 28 Feb. Still get charged a month bill on 1 Mar & been told I'll both need to wait 45 days for my refund & that it will be credited the same day. Great help for budgeting & doesn't help that customer service chat couldn't understand the issue 🙄
-
lee Radcliffe (@leeradcliffe73) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia Yes I have used the connect app and it only works when I’m a meter from the router. I’m paying you for a service you can’t provide but you call me to say why don’t you upgrade to 300mb speeds when you can’t even give 10. Appalling
-
David Wright (@Mr_PaintPots) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia Thank you for responding, one of your team has now picked this up so fingers crossed someone gets in touch. Why have you made it so difficult to get support? Can you not provide an obvious option on your website please?
-
Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England@virginmedia what a surprise, even after cancelling my service with you I’m still getting bills!!! I cannot believe your customer service is awful even after leaving.
-

-
Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England@virginmedia I guarantee you they cannot help. I call every day, usually spending over an hour on the phone. The pre-installs team only promise me a call back from someone who can help, within 24-48hrs. The call back never comes, despite further requests for this to happen. Explain that?
-
Craig (@Danzy92) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia wifi issues for over a week. Run test every day for it to just say there’s some issue in your area. When will this be fixed? Costing me money to commute somewhere where I can get wifi and disrupting my work.
-
Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England@virginmedia So another 90 minute chat with no resolution? That’s fine I’m going to raise an official complaint as this is NOT good customer service at all.
-
Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia Your resolution to this is for me to pay you money for a service I don’t use as I cancelled it. How is that a resolution? You are just not listening to me.
-
Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Southampton, EnglandAt this rate, Virgin Media is gonna have to change their name because that's bound to offend some woke idiot somewhere 🙄 #BBCQT
-
lee Radcliffe (@leeradcliffe73) reported from Southampton, England@VMO2News @virginmedia @goodthingsfdn All the money we pay for this awful broadband is a joke. Oh just get the plug in booster for an extra £5 a month this will help!!! 2m from the router and can’t even send this. 3G is better than virgin. Bring on toob 🕺🏻
-
Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia more of your appalling customer service!!!! Spend over 90 minutes on your chat help “service” trying to resolve an issue and your agent takes a break. When he returns and I don’t reply as I’m getting lunch I get cut off. And guess what?
-
Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia I have just spoken to collections team who told me they cannot deal with my issue. They passed me to cancellation team who said they cannot deal with it only collections can. The issue is that I cancelled in July but you have no record of my call or letter.
-
Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England@virginmedia Im only unwilling to use the chat as after today’s conversation by phone with the 2 departments I got told could sort out my issue & they couldn’t I am emotionally broken.
-
Ryan Stanikk 📸 (@reyewon) reported from Southampton, EnglandWas incredibly annoyed at service from @virginmedia today. After sending back the old equipment 6 weeks ago, we received an email saying we were going to be charged for not sending it back. I called up 10 days ago and was told the charge would be removed and not to worry...
-
Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Southampton, EnglandI'm gonna summarise 2 things I've developed a verdict on since my tv broke down. the @virginmedia app for windows = perfect. works great. the @SkySports app for windows = ******* horrendus! i dont understand why sky sports needs a separate app to watch them
-
Panda 🐼 (@PandaKingPinder) reported from Romsey, England@virginmedia The issue is some of the ports in the back don't work, we get occasional dips in the internet's which some days don't reach the amount we pay for and the webpage says we can upgrade our hub but can only be done on the phone to see we can't get hold of anyone.

🏴 Simon Forsyth 🏴 (@superbairn) reported@virginmedia are you trying to call ref my complaint. I believe I am trying to be scammed by people claiming to be from Virgin.

-
. (@AlexparkerI) reported@MelJanie @virginmedia I’ve just left virgin media. Their customer service is abysmal
-
^Gavstar^ (@Englandgav) reportedHey @virginmedia want to know why I get bills for myself and someone else? My hub is linked to there account and address so I can access there account/bills and upgrade there package. Your customer services seem unwilling to help. GDPR issue
-
Irate_Jobbie (@Irate_Jobbie) reported@AwTroon Many, many years ago, I called virgin media to tell them I was leaving. They asked why, I said you don't offer value for money anymore. Sorry you're leaving but that is the best price, you already have. It was expensive. No problem, bye now. Next day, virgin cold calls me. Asks me to confirm who I am. I said no, you are calling me, you should know. Guy was annoyed as he was phoning to offer me a better deal. I said fine, I'll call the same retentions team I called yesterday to leave and I'll know it's actually virgin. He got angry, said they can't offer discounts, only he could and if I didn't confirm my details, he couldn't give me the offer. I just told him I could no longer do business with virgin due to such poor security procedures. He seemed very angry about the fact I wasn't willing to give personal identifiable information to a stranger cold calling me. Never paid them a penny again.
-
Lee Harris (@LeeHarris) reportedHey @virginmedia, my internet has been down since 6pm yesterday and you still haven't managed to fix it. FFS! SORT IT OUT!
-
Pure Hearted Human (@Graelwyn) reported@Ang_Jones72 It doesn't matter much now. As I intend to take my life as what virgin media don't know. Is that my mother and father abused me most of my life. And maybe since I never got her unconditional love as she loved only through money. I wanted to use the only thing she gives me now. Since she wouldn't call virgin to explain. As she cares more about my brother's partner's mother having cancer. Than that I may have cancer. So virgin media get their payments. And I have finally given up. That is all.
-
Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reported@virginmedia @virginmedia Can you please confirm whether the Sky Sports+ TV fault I reported on 15th August has now been fully resolved? I want to watch @ColU_Official tonight on Sky Sports+ through my Virgin TV service, so I need to know that the previous problem has been fixed.
-

Bev Terry 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 (@Bev2810) reported@virginmedia you don’t bother looking after loyal customers do you ? want to offer my renewal for more than what I can get as a new customer
