Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)
-
Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.
-
Fraser Porter (@TheFraserPorter) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia twice in 2 months that my hub 5 has completely gone down with a flashing red light and won’t work, I’ve had to book a technician for it both times. Costs too much for this to keep happening!

-
Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England@OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.
-

-
ohsandra70 (@KayCee312898473) reported@virginmedia increased bill to £70 but internet service is crap!
-
kellyann (@kellyan99166027) reported@virginmedia since 1pm yesterday afternoon we have been told that the problem is being fixed. Every time the estimated time comes up you change it again. We have little to no information about what’s happening. Could you please advise on when. It will be corrected ?
-
ScouseRasta (@ScouseRasta) reported@virginmedia 3 times in the last 2 days my broadband has been down for, around 5 hours this morning and again for the past hour! Get your **** together before I move to different provider along with a lot of other people. Don’t even offer any compensation for an outage, shocking!
-
Rob Sharman ⭐️⭐️ (@sharman_robert) reported@virginmedia appalling customer service, you either speak to a bot or a moron on a messaging service…they still haven’t fixed any of my issues I’m done at this point
-
Diplo (@loldiplo) reported. @virginmedia can you explain why your servers are down again. It’s pathetic constantly happening and conveniently falls on a bank holiday weekend so most of your customers will be without service for 2 days. Disgrace of a company.
-
Samina Masood (@Samina_masood3) reported@virginmedia Thanks for responding - sent a DM with all details about the complete loss of service complaint. It will be hugely appreciated that the issue is resolved immediately & we don’t have to further suffer by poor service your call centres are offering. Thanks
-
Told You So (@TYS20212) reported@Oxford_Life @virginmedia The new tv box is absolutely abysmal, the worst “upgrade” in history. If it wasn’t for lack of high speed broadband alternatives here we would be off like a shot.
-
Kevin Clark (@kevinclarknw) reported@virginmedia Yes. There are now TWO issues, one of which is not expected to be fixed until Wednesday. Ssevice has been out since Friday.
-
Lady linda jane The Extremist (@Pollo1Lindajane) reported@christobinsings @virginmedia 3 hours later no refund cant find someone to cancel absolute joke of a company @virginmedia
-
Diplo (@loldiplo) reported@virginmedia Already got one booked in. I will be complaining however as you already are charging a substantial amount for a service you’re clearly incapable of providing.
