  • MarcusRoberts13 Marc (@MarcusRoberts13) reported from Morpeth, England

    @robhinds @mark395625 @virginmedia It’s always baffled me how existing customers don’t get decent deals when you’re showing loyalty by staying with them. It’s the same with all utilities and when they say you have to CALL to cancel it turns into a nightmare

  • tenchylad StuT (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    Hi @virginmedia spent almost 4 hours on live chat today to get a simple problem resolved and still didnt get resolved , very poor service @skytv or @TalkTalk are you in need of a new customer please.

  • domchandley Dom C (@domchandley) reported

    @virginmedia You’re normally very good, but broadband / TV etc. down for the best part of 2 days, engineers not coming out because it’s a wider network problem, and resolution time kicked forward each day by 24 hours. No support available by normal routes - what’s going on?

  • joanne_l_t Joanne (@joanne_l_t) reported

    @virginmedia Crap broadband, spent an hour on chat, bloke said he was transferring chat to department who could send new router, but put me on to a BOT, going round in circles..it’s the most frustrating system..do you have any real people who can sort out issues?!

  • _Stacie_Davis Stacie Davis (@_Stacie_Davis) reported

    Riddle me this. Branson went to space this week, but Virgin Media can’t get my internet and tv service to work? 🤔

  • CllrRalphBerry Ralph Berry 🌹🚃#Bradford2025 (@CllrRalphBerry) reported from Bradford, England

    Just lost all my casework updates as @virginmedia down again. How long do you take to respond to written complaints ? Total frustration.

  • JDoctor13 J.Doctor (@JDoctor13) reported

    @virginmedia shocking service. No WiFi for the whole day. Unable to work. Was told would be fixed, now instead the Tivo has stopped working too. Appalling. #virginmedia

  • jaden19792474 jaden (@jaden19792474) reported

    @virginmedia fix ur **** ******* WiFi such a scam can’t load a ******* thing

  • Pha5echange Phasechange Recordings (@Pha5echange) reported

    @virginmedia 12 hours. No internet in SE1. Yes, I've checked yr status page. It says 'no faults' though you've txt'd me and told me there IS a problem. Please fix it! And stop lying.

  • Ging_yaa Ging_yaa (@Ging_yaa) reported

    @virginmedia my wifi has been down for 3 days. The status of the fix gets moved to the next day everyday. W14 8HB is the post code Can you please tell me what the heck is going on?????? What is the number I can call to talk to an actual person?

  • BusinessBad4 Bad4Business (@BusinessBad4) reported

    @virginmedia Your Virgin TV Go app doesn't work. Well, it loads and shows everything you COULD watch, but absolutely NOTHING plays. Regardless of live, demand, paid or free, absolutely nothing works. I pay a premium for this sort of service, what do I get back?

  • EasterBunny869 Easter Bunny (@EasterBunny869) reported

    @virginmedia Ofcom general condition 14.4. I've already complained and nothing is happening, not even confirmation of complaint. I think on this occasion you have failed in anything close to customer service. Your refusal to have someone own this issue is testament to this.
