  • greav41 Paul Greaves (@greav41) reported from Gateshead, England

    @simonrim @virginmedia Ended up removing them from our lives due to atrocious (being generous here) customer service. Even now they are threatening £130 charge due to them not sending out the box return kit.

  • mrspag47 Elizabeth Pearson (@mrspag47) reported from Stanley, England

  • barbarafoggo Barbara Foggo (@barbarafoggo) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Never felt so left down by @virginmedia after years of being a loyal customer my bill has increased by £20pm for no extra services when I rang to cancel I was offered £1 discount! To say I was insulted is an understatement, shocking service loyalty counts for nothing!!! Cancelled

  • barbarafoggo Barbara Foggo (@barbarafoggo) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Wow @virginmedia amazingly poor customer services on many levels. Not your best moment @richardbranson

  • VictoriaBarry82 Vicki barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Yeah & someone promised to call back last week & they never. We’ve had no broadband since yesterday & it keeps acting up

  • M_RashidAmin Mohammed Rashid Amin (@M_RashidAmin) reported from South Shields, England

    @vmbusiness I’ve send a direct message. Im absolutely angry and annoyed by the situation today. Worst customer service experience.

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia your shit broadband and tv service is down again for the third time this week and it’s only Tuesday WTF do I pay you for! I bet I don’t see a refund for what you don’t deliver 😡

  • hilly_1986 Iain Hill (@hilly_1986) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Say no known issues. Wired is fine but WiFi all over the house is shocking! Tried moving the hub but can only go so far as it’s restricted by the wires.

  • GarYoung Gary Young (@GarYoung) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia just the most horrific service ever from you. Your agent agreed a discount due to poor service and to stop me leaving. It now transpires the discount is at the expense of skysportsHD which we did not agree. I’m now having to take it to ofcom because no one can help

  • ozwaldo1985 Craig Osborne (@ozwaldo1985) reported from Wallsend, England

    @LouisRoss67 Virgin Media box up to 2 and a half minutes tonight, switched to Apple TV and I’m down to about 20 seconds

  • Article_Fifty50 Botty Monster (@Article_Fifty50) reported

    @virginmedia Been trying to cancel for weeks. Online chat they just disconnect me. Phone says call back later. Emails ignored. Can't change my package online. Is this some kind of joke @virginmedia ? Been out of contract for 2 years so this should not be hard.

  • SDeGwet S.DG (@SDeGwet) reported

    @virginmedia Poor Customer Service, Poor Network Service, Poor Technical Service And Stop using @richardbranson name to cover your incompetence.

  • wrigley003 Mad Commuter (@wrigley003) reported

    @virginmedia I have rang via relay twice. On both occasions waited 49 minutes and 39 minutes and on both occasions I have had the phone disconnected (hung up) on your end. So I ask is there an email address I can send something to? The service right now is abysmal

  • sillygirlIam Nicky Evans (@sillygirlIam) reported

    @virginmedia Poor WiFi and the bizarre way it has been set up!

  • dominiclondon Dlondon (@dominiclondon) reported

    @virginmedia I hve called for 2 months. Nothing! Im still trying but the automated svc cuts me off always. I now represent 6 houses who face the same. What do we do? We are facing either asking for legal help to get tech support from you? Or getting a call? It is not acceptable.

  • radiatorcat HelloMissRose (@radiatorcat) reported

    Hey @virginmedia, your #virginmobile service is pretty patchy where I live, although your coverage checker says “excellent”. Just sat on my sofa, numerous people say calls keep “coming and going”, that I sound miles away or call cuts out completely for few seconds. Any ideas?

  • SaraBelhay Sara Belhay (@SaraBelhay) reported

    @virginmedia we’ve only been a customer with you for a day and we’re already switching because of the diabolical service we’ve received. On the phone for 3 hours & your rep hung up when we asked to speak to a manager.

  • CharlieChestnut Chris hatwood (@CharlieChestnut) reported

    @virginmedia hi new customer to you guys, but I have a problem, the broadband isn’t reaching upstairs constantly and this is causing real problems can you help?

  • Commander_Adams Dad of 4 💙 (@Commander_Adams) reported

    @virginmedia BEWARE : You cant contact Virgin Media to change or cancel.. Can't get through on the phone (Hangs up most the time) Can't change package on messenger (tells you to call) Can't email to change or cancel package Can't live chat anymore its been removed Breaking @Ofcom rules.

  • sallyosmond sally ann osmond (@sallyosmond) reported

    @virginmedia all@my services have been down since Saturday 5.30pm. Your update has given 3 updates of different times it will be resolved. Each saying engineer is on his way! How long does it take an engineer to get to the problem, he’s been on his way since 6pm yesterday.
