  • GaryBeggs_8 Gary Beggs (@GaryBeggs_8) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia can’t get through on the phone, so you launch an app to manage your own account, then when you try and make changes it sends you to a chat option which also you can’t get through on. Your service is an absolute joke !

  • GailCharnock Gail Charnock (@GailCharnock) reported from Shevington, England

    @virginmedia You are aware of the problem, told us it's a fault and it's being fixed by 12th April, it wasn't, we rang, you gave us reassurance it will be fixed by the 22nd, it hasn't, we rang got passed around a lot! Now you say it will be fixed 29th. Hands up if you would put up with this?

  • ThePhilAtkinson Phil (@ThePhilAtkinson) reported from Liverpool, England

    Virgin Media is ******* awful. Anyone know of another Internet provider that isn't complete dogshit?

  • SharonLLeonard Sharon Leonard (@SharonLLeonard) reported from Bryn, England

    @virginmedia I don’t want DIY I want the service I pay for in my 3 bed house!

  • KarlTwist Karl Twist (@KarlTwist) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia No account info to login, no mobile sim card and poor broadband speeds. No ownership from anyone I’ve spoken to so far and no clearer if/when issues will be sorted. Where do I stand with cooling off period to cancel?

  • porlmurf Murph (@porlmurf) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @big_kev_83 @virginmedia @MENnewsdesk Yeah, bonus points if they point at whatever the problem is (pothole, loose paving etc)

  • Jennnnnn_x jennnnnn 🌎 (@Jennnnnn_x) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia Ive spent over 2 hours trying to make a complaint to be told that i can make a complaint but you wont do anything about it.

  • Jennnnnn_x jennnnnn 🌎 (@Jennnnnn_x) reported from Urmston, England

    How do @virginmedia get away with charging an early cancellation fee because we are moving house (less than one mile away) when its impossible for them to provide a service... £240!!!!!!

  • lynielou72 Lyne (@lynielou72) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is shocking, can't get through on a number and been chatting online for over an hour now still no nearer resolution.

  • SharonLLeonard Sharon Leonard (@SharonLLeonard) reported from Bryn, England

    @virginmedia Can they help do you think?

  • KarlTwist Karl Twist (@KarlTwist) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Please have somebody contact me, I’ve been with you less than a week and I’ve had nothing but problems. It’s been a shocking early experience

  • JenHinds Jen Hinds (@JenHinds) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia hi there. My mum is having with her TV. We know there is an issue in her area and is being sorted but this is the 5th time this has happened in 3 wks. Please can someone contact me to explain why this is happening so often and what can be done? Thanks.

  • SharonLLeonard Sharon Leonard (@SharonLLeonard) reported from Bryn, England

    @virginmedia Would love it if they could come out and fix it, last visit did the best he could but I wonder do BT have better equipment?

  • Kayls3457 Kayleigh Speakman (@Kayls3457) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia Yet another WiFi and TV outage. Hence another...

  • Jennnnnn_x jennnnnn 🌎 (@Jennnnnn_x) reported from Urmston, England

    @geog_trainee @virginmedia Im on phonecall 4. They claimed my complaint would get my nowhere and i may as well give up.

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

    @virginmedia can someone explain that why after several issues I’ve had with you, that you think it’s ok, to hike up the bill £20 a month on a fixed fee contract?! #disgusting #poorservice #donotrecommend

  • charl_middo Charlotte Louise Middleton (@charl_middo) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia what is the problem with the broadband in the L9 area?! It’s been dodgy for weeks now and my husband now has to use his phone as a hotspot to be able to actually work from home because the broadband is so shocking!

  • BenjiMaccers Benji McLoughlin (@BenjiMaccers) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia Your online checker tells me my line is fine. It’s not. There was an outage yesterday, it came back on and now it’s off again. I’ve restarted the hub multiple times.

  • geordiemanc70 GeordieManc (@geordiemanc70) reported from Urmston, England

    You couldn't make it up. The day after we get a settlement from @virginmedia from our claim with the CISAS dispute service, they've just sent another customer satisfaction survey....

  • steveygreen Steveygreen (@steveygreen) reported

    @virginmedia do you have an escalation or complaint process that doesn't involve transfering me and hanging up on me..I just want to become a virgin customer you have your chamber on my private driveway and tell me I can't be connected. If it doesn't exist I guess I'll dig it up?

  • GogoplataFTW SpudPieSte(vens) (@GogoplataFTW) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah 100% , it's been fine for the last 15 years I've been with Virgin, but I renewed my deal after it expired and it went crap overnight , I don't get it

  • tobypalmer1 Toby Palmer (@tobypalmer1) reported

    @virginmedia No, other than I have to wait 3months due to a banking error that delayed 1 payment. Witch has been paid and over the last 6 year payments of upto £200pm have never been missed I find it very disappointing

  • JSambrooks John Sambrooks💙 (@JSambrooks) reported

    Hi @virginmedia any chance you can sort your complaints team and engineers to speak to each other. Another date change on visit, another complaint and no call. Won’t be accepting £10 compensation this time. Appalling service for 20 yr customer.

  • aaronlwevans Aaron (@aaronlwevans) reported

    @virginmedia I was and I was disappointed that it's been moved back a week it intially was moved 2.5 weeks, I would expect better for customer onboarding

  • DPage1992 Dan Page (@DPage1992) reported

    @virginmedia Hey, it seems to be the case while I'm at work and it's only been this week. My colleague (also on virgin) is having the same issues (he listens to the radio on his phone and it keeps cutting out). My texts and calls are absolutely fine, it just seems to be 1/2

  • Richard18593976 Richard Kay (@Richard18593976) reported

    @virginmedia I've made another complaint using that link reference C-150922722 . I think the previous complaint appeared closed by VM without my consent as it didn't appear on any list, and without any resolution.

  • _Clean_Nuclear Nuclear (@_Clean_Nuclear) reported

    @virginmedia Your online services and whatsapp service can't help me. I keep getting passed between call centres located all over the world. Worst service I've ever had from a supplier bar none.

  • jammergilmore James Gilmore (@jammergilmore) reported

    @virginmedia @72sav I’ve lost £600 in earnings over the last 2 days as mine is down ? £8 compensation doesn’t even cover my coffee while im waiting ?

  • RazKoller Raz Koller ☮️ (@RazKoller) reported

    @virginmedia All I can do really is inform others on social media so they'll stay away from you, and maybe write to MPs to make UK law match other countries where it is illegal to charge an early exit fee. After all, if people could just leave, your service would be impeccable.
