  • amynaylorr AmyNaylor (@amynaylorr) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Hi, my 4G/Phone calls/Texts arent working on my phone even though I have 4 bars of signal, wondering if it's a phone problem or a problem with the virgin network

  • simonmcbeth1 simonmcbeth (@simonmcbeth1) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @LeoNak8484 @bt_uk @virginmedia @virginmedia just as bad I’m afraid

  • Benmorley23 Ben Morley (@Benmorley23) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia @Ofcom I now have a recording of the last advisor who I spoken to... terrible terrible service and I will not ever return to @virginmedia. What a waste after 20 years of being with you. What a shame, I will send the recording to @ofcom and cancel the direct debit 👍🏻

  • kaths77x Kathryn Skelly (@kaths77x) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia disgusted that as a valued customer for over 15 years, I’m moving property, wanting to move my services to my new address but because it is above a business you will not install so you are charging me for closing my account which I do not want to do 😡

  • Benmorley23 Ben Morley (@Benmorley23) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia You replying like this is extremely poor customer service. You are insinuating I have been disconnected when I simply want cancel my account. **** it I’ll cancel the direct debit and just leave the country. @Ofcom

  • Benmorley23 Ben Morley (@Benmorley23) reported from Warrington, England

    2nd attempt to cancel my account and @virginmedia hang up again. I requested to raise a complaint and they hang up! @Ofcom will be contacted. (Seen as you’re not allowing a consumer to raise a complaint)

  • WirralLiverpool Andy Wroblewski (@WirralLiverpool) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had issues during my 12month contract & I still rang up to renew. I was then told I wasn’t entitled to any new customer deals & I’d have to pay a £1 more a month for your budget service compared to what a new customer would pay for your top package.

  • kevchem1 Kevin Skinley (@kevchem1) reported from Liverpool, England

    This is really awful all round. Really hope virginmedia come to their senses

  • CllrMichaelHaw Councillor Michael Haw (@CllrMichaelHaw) reported from Eccleston, England

    @stevehhh so if there are issues with Virgin Media they can easily switch to BT. If BT High Speed Fibre Optic broadband can be secured sooner, rather than later, those residents who are experiencing issues with Virgin Media can switch/be able to access the High Speed Fibre Optic service.

  • GemlouHughes Gemmalouise Hughes (@GemlouHughes) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia wow I’m Disappointed with your services last wk there was an outage so u gave 5g for every1 to use didn’t know you was gonna take it away on the Monday I think that’s disgusting I have five lines with you plus home! Something better needs 2 b done not all use net

  • simonmcbeth1 simonmcbeth (@simonmcbeth1) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia @marcyeboah That’s the problem. You can’t help on social media as you are not empowered to do so. You merely advise to call the number that is causing all of the issues in the first place

  • WirralLiverpool Andy Wroblewski (@WirralLiverpool) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @MattTRFC @Stemac2010 @virginmedia Yes Matt, I was shocked too I had no choice but to hand my 30days notice in, I’ve been with them since 2009 no way I’m paying £1 more a month for 100mb compared to what a new customer would pay for 300mb!

  • Lucy8720 Lucy87 (@Lucy8720) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Getting seriously fed up of watching something on Netflix and 20 mins in and it goes off again. Same with my phone, always has an exclamation bar next to it. Internet is awful, i was told if im not getting what im supposed to be i can cancel which is what i will be

  • CllrMichaelHaw Councillor Michael Haw (@CllrMichaelHaw) reported from Eccleston, England

    @stevehhh Virgin media is accessible, the problem has been reliability. A number of residents on those roads listed have had severe issues with the service & from experience BT Broadband is the more reliable. For example, in Eccleston Park residents now have access to Virgin & BT... [cont]

  • simonmcbeth1 simonmcbeth (@simonmcbeth1) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @ChrisMa72444992 @virginmedia Wow! Really are breaking the boundaries in shocking customer service

  • dancross88 Dan Cross (@dancross88) reported from Haydock, England

    Absolutely disgusted with the poor customer service and attitude of ‘Stefan’ from @virginmedia - rude, unhelpful and decided to end the call by hanging up instead of following my request to speak to a manager.

  • simonmcbeth1 simonmcbeth (@simonmcbeth1) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia @McBeth1977 You need to actually get to speak to somebody in order to raise a complaint.

  • WirralLiverpool Andy Wroblewski (@WirralLiverpool) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Any deal that a new customer can get would be fine :) I don’t think it’s fair a customer that’s been with you for 10 years who already has all the equipment needed should pay more for less

  • BobbyBattersby bobby (@BobbyBattersby) reported from Chorley, England

    @ITV gone down on @virginmedia

  • KRobbo1982 Karl Robinson (@KRobbo1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia are a joke! Ive lost my services for today due to their incompetence. Been on the phone for 45 mins and got nowhere. Complaint lodged which will also get nowhere i bet.

  • damian144 DT144 (@damian144) reported

    @Sathnam @virginmedia One of the worst customer service experiences of modern day companies. Unless you're increasing your bill you're bottom of their list.

  • JustGael ❤ Gãel Priçé ❤ (@JustGael) reported

    @virginmedia Yes sure have. It’s a constant issue which just seems to be getting worse. How do we speak to someone in the Uk? Not having much luck otherwise.

  • JustGael ❤ Gãel Priçé ❤ (@JustGael) reported

    @virginmedia How do we speak to someone who isn’t interested in upselling but genuinely wants to help? English as a first language would help, hence the request for onshore.

  • JustGael ❤ Gãel Priçé ❤ (@JustGael) reported

    @virginmedia Signal seems okay from router and booster but actual speed awful then drops off. Happy for any suggestions.

  • TheFamousDevlin Devlin Gallier (@TheFamousDevlin) reported

    @virginmedia Yesterday I was put through to customer services who said they couldn't help me. I was put through to the pre-installation team who I reminded had said they would get a manager to call me. On hold for ages until I couldn't hang on any longer. Promised call today. Hasn't happened.

  • Mrs_Dav Clash City Rocker (@Mrs_Dav) reported

    @virginmedia I can't cancel

  • BillNightingale Bill (@BillNightingale) reported

    @Sathnam @virginmedia Absolutely the worst customer services I have ever experienced. I had a straight forward issue & couldn't get a response. Phone, emails, twitter, texts, online chat - none produced a result. And we are talking months here.

  • jongudmund Jon Matthias (@jongudmund) reported

    @virginmedia It seems to be fixed now. But just telling me there is an "intermittent issue" isn't helpful when I need to be online for work.

  • JustGael ❤ Gãel Priçé ❤ (@JustGael) reported

    @virginmedia why when we’re trying to get an issue fixed must your operators try and upsell? If you can’t fix the internet why on earth would we tie in for more pain? #stillnotfixed 🤯

  • manueky Manu Ekanayake (@manueky) reported

    @Sathnam @virginmedia God help you, seriously. Virgin are the worst for customer service
