  • zaracharles Zara (@zaracharles) reported from Liverpool, England

    TWO hrs spent on to @virginmedia trying 2 fix my continuous starting up screen. Was promised a call back the following evening, which never happened !!! Feel I have been more than patient, to be majorly let down #whatamipayingfor 😡

  • 2003mirror Lord David Hurn (@2003mirror) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia please tell me why I can never get through to your customer services , just been waiting over twenty minutes Not the first time !!

  • Sex_chameleon Foxy stoat (@Sex_chameleon) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Because that's something you should have offered 4 months ago before the endless hour long phone calls, not something you should have offered only when I went though 3 different people to cancel. I also can't take a day off work for an engineer during August.

  • Alison_hh Alison Hesketh-Holt (@Alison_hh) reported from Leyland, England

    Absoloutley disgusted with @virginmedia been on hold for 2 hours - I'm an existing customer and one agent has hung on me!!! I want to discuss my existing contract with them. How the hell are you supposed to speak to the complaints department or a manager in charge!

  • DJGlassBack ⭐⭐⭐LFC⭐⭐⭐ (@DJGlassBack) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @Beany_13 What about in L8 9UU its been down all morning

  • Sex_chameleon Foxy stoat (@Sex_chameleon) reported from Warrington, England

    @Satoonerist @virginmedia Totally agree, I've just been pissed about trying to get through to cancellations, I refused technical help and and engineer and I'm going to take a chance that my neighbours are right and Talk Talk is decent these days.

  • thecraigthomas Craig Thomas (@thecraigthomas) reported from St Helens, England

    Broadband download issues a few weeks back, now On Demand TV not working for Manifest. Ridiculous time on hold to try to get through to your team. I’m not feeling the love @virginmedia

  • toadfish41 Chris McPartland (@toadfish41) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia hi can you help me sign in been trying to contact customer services for over 2 hrs tonight

  • ShitofHan Hannah (@ShitofHan) reported from Liverpool, England

    I hope to god my mum gets rid of @virginmedia this week! Sick of her paying like £112 for shut service. I’m constantly on 4G

  • mymatedex @gm (@mymatedex) reported from Aintree Village, England

    @virginmedia There’s no service issue, the engineer had punctured the cabling with a cable tack. It stops the fibre optic cable from working. I removed it but not before having to sit on the phone for 30 minutes after me complaining the other day about your inept installation team

  • amy___harvey amy harvey (@amy___harvey) reported from Maghull, England

    @virginmedia Just rang again. On hold for 20 mins (again) to get hung up on after giving my name. How do I cancel if I am already out of contact. Unless somebody can ring me instead as I refuse to sit through that hold music a third time

  • rick300 richard caines (@rick300) reported from Leyland, England

    U know it’s bad when the internet on ur phone works better than @virginmedia internet been off now for over 5 hours in leyland

  • DJGlassBack ⭐⭐⭐LFC⭐⭐⭐ (@DJGlassBack) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @BryanThePirate I pay for the highest package you have and I dont have the v6 box I very rarely have bloody wifi like this morning it's not working again! Time after time after time it breaks down

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia COM103473607 but as I said I have a deadlock letter.... I have no confidence due to the fact your company seems to neglect the real issue here! Telling my 82 yr old mother her dead husband ordered Sky Movies from the grave! A service neither of them are/were interested in

  • Hortini Rick Houghton (@Hortini) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia your telephone automated payment is beyond dreadful. Not recognising my new debit card. Been on hold to your woeful customer services for 26 minutes. And your hold music is terrible. #nothappy #badservice

  • toadfish41 Chris McPartland (@toadfish41) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Hi it’s media service I cannot set up an account please help

  • springviewer John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia strange I read all the posts about Virgin customers ringing up about cancelling services and Virgin offering them a better deal however I ring up and cancel a service with no trouble at all, not even offering a lower price, your loss #virginmedia

  • Childwallcable Tony Zeverona (@Childwallcable) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia you have the worst customer services I have ever experienced from being cut off during calls to failure to call back

  • Liam_Hawksey Goth Scouser (@Liam_Hawksey) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Never mind, I reset the box and it’s fine now

  • stubeanhead Stu Hel (@stubeanhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    Tip: Yesterday I gave Virgin Media 30 days notice to cancel my TV/broadband. Too pricey. Had no deals to offer me. Miracles are real as I had 3 missed calls today off sales numbers, I answer the 4th. Suddenly, they do have offers and now I'm paying less a month with Sky Sports on
