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

  • 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.

  • leewhttngtn Lee Whittington (@leewhttngtn) reported from Hebburn, 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

    @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

    More issues with our broadband again today @virginmedia I don’t think we’ve had a full day off broadband for months 🤬 #timetocancel #wasteofmoney

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

    @virginmedia I really don’t think you can. Please provide me with an email address for the complaints department. I will write a full and detailed email and if no resolution I will forward my complaint to Ofcom.

    Right in the middle of my online grocery shop - loads of stuff in my trolley, going through check-out and #VirginMedia goes down. Not happy.

  • Dimejyy Captain (@Dimejyy) reported

    @virginmedia kindly fix your ****** broadband internet service. I pay a lot for this garbage you’re offering me.

  • LearningYouGood YourBestFriend (@LearningYouGood) reported

    @shizelle_ @virginmedia Funny how the internet is the only utility that gets away with being utter trash. I bet if they had to take a fiver off our bills every time their servers went down we'd have the most stable connection in history.

  • marymaryw Mary Williams (@marymaryw) reported

    @virginmedia Have you cut the number of engineers? Why is it so bad?

  • AberJohnny John Malcolm McMenemy (@AberJohnny) reported from Denny, Scotland

    @ScotsSaboteur @DeMcbot @virginmedia Supposedly fixed then went down again.

  • AngelaMRobins Angela Robins (@AngelaMRobins) reported

    Good old @virginmedia put their prices up but can’t deliver a robust service!!! 4 times trying to get internet back up then when it does it says slow internet speed!! Am meant to have the best available broadband with Volt, need to start looking around for a better provider !!

    @virginmedia its back on again now, but how long for this time, i bet you 6 months broadband bill that it will be down again within 2 hours, take the bet what have you got to lose.
