    Paul Swain (@PaulswainDJ) reported from Kings Langley, England

    @virginmedia This is boring. I’ll reach out to third parties to resolve my account issue.

    ᒍᗩᑎE (@gemmak500) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia To be honest you probably can’t, I’ve been this route often previously and nothing changes. Made to jump thru the same basic hoops time & again by staff members who don’t understand the systems, it’s a perpetual, frustrating loop. Still my service is dreadful.

    Little_Missy2. MA. History🐝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🌹 (@Missy_Ports) reported from Barnet, England

    @SilentMugger @virginmedia Yes I'm shocked too, didn't think it would be this long & they best fix it as I can't work and I'm using all my mobile data to try and contact them. Really bad service.

  • TimmyLDN
    🦒🤓TimmyLDN🙄🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🦒 (@TimmyLDN) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Yes at £37 when as a new customer I could get it for £25. I am happy to stick at the £32 but you are not willing to match.

    @Charlie_A_Gee @virginmedia They don’t give a damn, they’re virtually a monopoly, Ditch them and go to sky.

    BuG$y (@browngaybitch) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    Absolutely rubbish customer service from @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV @VirginMediaCorp waiting for over 2 hours, first call the advisor hung up after I asked to speak to his manager and the second advisor CANNOT give me a reference to the call or let me speak to a manager

  • niroknox
    Niro Knox (@niroknox) reported from Potters Bar, England

    @richardbranson virgin media U.K. business service is appalling , customer service and tech support are lying, promising callbacks just to get you off the line, 3 weeks no service my business is chaos, my SLA is 12 hours yet no one to talk to fault: F010324227 No one is helping

  • Mrspdyer
    Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Customer Service is shocking. It’s now almost 6 hours since I asked on WhatsApp for email address to be corrected and I’m still waiting for a response.

  • gashead
    Alistair 🏴‍☠️ Burns (@gashead) reported from Hatfield, England

    Used to tell my colleagues on @virginmedia to switch to @BT to overcome reliability issues. Moved house and little choice to pick Virgin. No internet or TV for 7 days, fix due by 1pm today. Queried at 1.30pm and 6.30pm, assured it would be today, told to relax. Frankie says BS.

  • Mrspdyer
    Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @rachel_uk_ @virginmedia Feel your frustration. 2 promised callbacks never happened,web complaint form doesn’t work. No email address for complaints. Sent letter of complaint 28/09z No response despite website saying I’d get one within 48 hours. Virgin do not care about customers.

  • dip2ooo
    Dipak (@dip2ooo) reported from Harrow Weald, England

  • U2Gorilla
    Snatch (@U2Gorilla) reported from Southall, England

  • NLFG

    @virginmedia I've tried both of those. I was going to restart the router and see if that made any difference. Appreciate the help 👍🏼

  • 1SLToo
    Andy (@1SLToo) reported from Rickmansworth, England

    Merry Christmas to all at @virginmedia who have left all of us in WD3 area with no TV or Internet for over a week (predicted) and probably longer over the entire festive period, moving to sky in the new year due to your continuing rubbish service and customer service

  • SMillbery
    Spencer Millbery (@SMillbery) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia Yes, I’ve done all these. Very frustrating as I only had a new super hub and cabling to house installed 2 weeks ago. Never had such intermittent service in 20 years of using virgin.

    TinaReadingEditor (@TinaReading) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia No and that's the problem. I need it for my grandsons 😪😪😪😪😪

    DbowNews 🫩 (@Dbow500) reported

    @Starlink Exciting times. VIRGIN MEDIA BULLIES NEED KNOCKING DOWN MANY PEGS. MY PREVIOUS CONTRACT STARTED AT £36.. WITHIN 2 YEARS IT ROSE TO £92 FOR A BASIC INTERNET PACKAGE. CONTRACT ENDED I MOVED ASAP. NOT REALISING VIRGIN WERE STILL CHARGING ME, RACKING UP A DEBT. RUINED MY CREDIT SCORE WHEN I REFUSED TO PAY THEM. I OFFERED 50% AND THEY POINT BLANK REFUSED. THE WORST CUSTOMER LOYALTY I'VE EVER DEALT WITH.

    Calling up the company is crap as well bc idk my login details. And they're always busy. (Virgin Media)

  • Nolwazi_Ncube

    @virginmedia My WiFi is down too. It’s been hours. I need to teach online!

  • PeteMcManus
    Pete McManus (@PeteMcManus) reported

    If you’re a local business looking for new broadband whatever you do don’t use @vmbusiness Absolutely useless company, terrible customer service. My wife was given the wrong info when signing up, costing us money and they’ve so far spent 7 weeks investigating it to no avail!

  • Samet_UK
    Samet (@Samet_UK) reported

    Wifi has been down since 1 am and there still hasn’t been a satisfactory explanation for the issue. They just share a link for me to check if there’s an outage in the area. It says there is one, but no more information. It’s been nearly 12 hours. @virginmedia

  • EnzoFerro2023
    Enzo Ferro (@EnzoFerro2023) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Very sorry for your loss. I left virgin media a few years back after very poor service and I am hearing lots of examples recently of why I will never return.

  • saoc78
    Steve O (@saoc78) reported

    @virginmedia why is your Comms so rubbish? There's an outage in the area, confirmed on the website, but I keep getting texts saying it's fixed. 8 texts in the last 2 mins too. But everything is still off and your site still says there's an outage.

  • K6HolteEnd
    RedditchVilla (@K6HolteEnd) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Virginmedia were horrible to us. My mother had a stroke and had severe dementia. we tried to cancel her broadband and just keep the tv as she couldn't use a computer any more. They kept asking to speak to her and got angry when she couldn't remember her password. Utter scum.

  • astral_punk
    AstralPunk (@astral_punk) reported

    @MichelleBeckett As a long standing @virginmedia customer, I can confirm that they are number 1 for utterly abysmal customer service in every regard.

  • Samet_UK
    Samet (@Samet_UK) reported

    @virginmedia The Wi-Fi hasn’t been working since 1 a.m. It says there’s an outage in the area, but I can’t reach customer service either. There still haven’t been any further updates. There’s no information about when it will be fixed or what’s going on.
