    @virginmedia advice please! I’ve been a customer for over ten years and am also an o2 customer and my account is now going up by another £12 per month on a pretty basic package! Phoned twice and been told that someone will get back to me with a new price package - still nothing

    @virginmedia is honestly the worst company for WiFi

    Capitã Nat (@NatashaVic) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Can I speak to a human, please? It’s impossible to speak to anyone here. I paid for my bill via bank transfer more than a week ago and it hasn’t been registered. Phone service is not recognising my password and I can’t find a live chat.

    @virginmedia It says there's no issues at the moment, but I'm only getting 13mbps.

    @virginmedia can you help my mum and dad they have had no telephone line since yesterday. The internet also went off but that seems to be back on now. It’s vital we get the phone on asap

    @virginmedia What does Virgin do for disabled people, when their internet goes down?

    @virginmedia In this room have always had problems but just not like today. The router is just over 2 metres from box.

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Very frustrating and time consuming. Spent whole afternoon trying to sort it. Twitter not really the best way to resolve issues especially with an 82 year old.

  • TimmyJ1972
    Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia I’d love to hear from how I’m supposed to report an issue with my broadband. You can’t do it via live chat and seemingly not via the phone either as you’re “experiencing difficulties”

  • andym1908
    Andrew (@andym1908) reported from Warrington, England

    @skytv @skytv . I am disappointed with your customer service and technical team . They have disconnected my sky viewing card . Why ?. I want rectifyying ASAP . Or shall I just cancel my subscription and go over to virgin media

  • MarkLangshaw
    Mark Langshaw (@MarkLangshaw) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Was Thursday or Friday but you never call me back when you say you will, so I'm not confident it will be completed unless I keep chasing it up.

  • JohnMurphy9172
    murf (@JohnMurphy9172) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Just managed to get hold of someone, and apparently after over 10 years of no problems I now need WiFi boosters at an extra cost to myself all of a sudden, they couldn't tell me why just trying to squeeze more money out of me

    Sarah Hill (@Its_Sal_Queen) reported from Liverpool, England

    Would love to be able to start work @virginmedia, but the Internet is down.

    Please sort this out. You charge enough, surely we are entitled to a service that actually works??@virginmedia #virginmedia

    Chris Wright (@ChrisWAzure) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia ...when all she has is TV on an old box and a phone line. She's house bound and this is all she has. The 1st feller attitude was disgusting and said like it or lump it. Clearly doesn't enjoy his job at Virgin Media and customer service is not his game! Awaiting a manger today, ty

    @virginmedia Hi, will this continued investment mean finally getting signal in my area? It’s a central area and the signal is awful. Thanks

    @moonsongenj0yer @virginmedia Can’t even imagine how frustrating that would be, mine is up and running now… I think it could be this heat causing issues but not sure…

  • jackochirpchirp
    glyn jacko#fbpe (@jackochirpchirp) reported

    @virginmedia OMG listening on the news and radio how bad you really are not looking forward to cancellation as it looks like you still pursue people but forewarned is forearmed

  • Chrismtson
    Chris (@Chrismtson) reported

    @Ofcom Still can’t get in contact with customer service today either via webchat and phone calls @virginmedia

  • mrchrisfloyd
    chris floyd (@mrchrisfloyd) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia love this!!! They’ve been at this for years!! Hanging up on customers! I hope it affects their staff now. Because ultimately it’s the company that gets fined for this, not the rude, stuck up staff they’ve got working for the company

  • shauny67
    Shaun (@shauny67) reported

    @virginmedia @StevePi15233586 The issue would be their servers potentially blocked the account for some reason like too manh attempts to loginSuggest forget Virgin Mail set up a Gmail account & when finally get in forward to Gmail in meantime send the people that would contact you the new Gmail email address

  • mashie1964
    Ian F (@mashie1964) reported

    I used to be with #VirginMedia for years. Service was poor, always having outages, sometimes for days. They’re the spivs of broadband communications. Now I see they’ve been caught abusing & trapping customers. Time they lost their licence to operate in the industry

  • Andrew_TRP
    Coaster Addict (@Andrew_TRP) reported

    @MoneySavingExp I’ll never use Virgin Media again. Moved house in 2024 when I was out of contract, they put me on a new 18 months contract without telling me. No email, no letter. Complaints come to nothing. Terrible company.

  • imzyii
    Ibam (@imzyii) reported

    @virginmedia I dont want to DM just listen and sort your phone line options out to make it easier for us customer to get through to the relevant teams without having to speak to a stupid voice recognition system

  • Vocalandproudx
    Vocal and Proud (@Vocalandproudx) reported

    The £28 million fine by @Ofcom was long overdue. Hopefully, it sends a clear message to @virginmedia and the rest of the industry that making it difficult for customers to cancel simply isn’t acceptable.

    Virgin media is the worst service provider I’ve ever known. Charging loyal customers more and more every year! Ridiculous!
