    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

  • godisageordie andy kindred (@godisageordie) reported from Gateshead, England

    @neeta68 @virginmedia Worst customer service I have encountered is with Virgin media and mobile , needless to say I am no longer one of their customers, good luck

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 1lynzi1 lynzi owens (@1lynzi1) reported from South Shields, England

    Not sure who I spoke to @virginmedia but gota say she was really helpful. Top customer service 👍

  • Northlander74 𝔖𝔱𝔢𝔭𝔥𝔢𝔫 𝔍. 𝔍𝔞𝔠𝔮𝔲𝔢𝔰 (@Northlander74) reported from Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Absolutely not, I'm not a customer, plus your service doesn't come this far north anyway

  • 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.

  • 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

  • panicdragon8779 John Brunton (@panicdragon8779) reported from South Shields, England

    @BT_Openreach can I ask why a 0161 number rings me every day (foreign accent) states he's open reach when apparently this is virgin media!! I hang up

  • 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.

  • KatDuley Kat Duley (@KatDuley) reported

    @virginmedia Why were we not contacted before I work at home like many other people are during this lockdown. I had so many problems yesterday! To find out there’s another day of it is disgusting!

  • andylutwyche Andy Lutwyche (@andylutwyche) reported

    @virginmedia your #stayconnected is slightly ironic as you never respond to anything! Is there an internet issue in Worthing?

  • singh_indy Indy Singh (@singh_indy) reported

    @virginmedia Yes - I have tried that already - I was 2 hours into a call with your tech support when he cut the line. Fact that no one has called back is inexcusable! I’m talking to @CISASUK. Yes that screenshot has my information on it which should have made it easier for you to contact me!

  • afails Faisal Sheikh (@afails) reported

    @Zafarcakes @virginmedia Bilal seriously move away from VM. Great when it works and then (usually when you really, really need it) down for no reason, no explanation other than "problems in your area". We had this for 3 years until switching to Vodafone last year - slower headline speed but rock solid

  • A_fucking_A_ ☠Run Free ☠ (@A_fucking_A_) reported

    @virginmedia Fix you internet problem. My fiancé has a zoom meeting and is using his phone data for it. What a joke.

  • _PaulHardy Paul (@_PaulHardy) reported

    @virginmedia No, I kept the live chat window open for 5 hours and still never had anyone reply

  • Abdi_Segulle Abdi Segulle CIHM (@Abdi_Segulle) reported

    @Mattydicks @virginmedia #BT went down last night and now it is very slow 🐌 😴

  • CerryTheBerry c e r r y✨ (@CerryTheBerry) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you, the consultant I spoke to through bereavement managed to put our broadband and tv back on but he’s sorting the landline out today and giving me a call back later on but if it’s still not sorted I will definitely want to talk to your complaints service.

  • Charlie8032Ivor double nutty (@Charlie8032Ivor) reported

    @virginmedia I have gone above and beyond to try and cancel and will be cancelling my direct debit. Please take this as notice that I am leaving.

  • nessa_j_ Vanessa Johnson (@nessa_j_) reported
