    @virginmedia Horrific customer service

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply. I’ve done all that’s recommended. Logged complaints, customer service can’t help, I’m still awaiting a supervisor to contact…

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

  • P25_Fletch Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Does anyone from your customer care actually ring you back? My newly installed so called fast WiFi has not worked correctly since install… Terrible product….

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia They advised, reset, changing from 2.4 to 5. Then back again. Changing the settings on the account. Done this multiple times. Customer service hung up on me then I rang back again and was told I hung up on them. Awaiting a supervisor call. It’s never worked since installation

  • RobLow_7 W. W. L. D. ? He'd stay at home. (@RobLow_7) reported from Sacriston, England

    @OffMyNoodles @virginmedia Many years ago, the way @virginmedia treated me, I vowed never to have anything to do with them from that day. Never have done, never will do.

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp what the hell is going on I don't have any data no phone calls nothing help please got use my home internet

  • ZicoPete Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, England

    On hold with @virginmedia for 20 minutes then they decided to cut my call.. great service. 👍

  • allymcgeorge Alvin TX Fernandez (@allymcgeorge) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia hi I need to cancel an engineer appointment but clearly you've made this difficult to do. Any thoughts?

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia wifi speed is disgustingly slow in NE 27

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia what's going on still nothing no data no phone service nothing sort it out

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Well that was a pointless exercise reaching out to yourselves. Just proves once again what a load of rubbish Virgin is…. #virginmedia #garbage #dailymirror

  • geemiller71 Gareth Miller (@geemiller71) reported from South Shields, England

  • adamappleby Adam Appleby (@adamappleby) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia seems your Cs WhatsApp is broken, can anyone one reactivate my WiFi pod?

  • P25_Fletch Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia You’s really do make it almost impossible to cancel. I’ve called 5 times over 3 days. Either don’t get transferred or get cut off. Looks like I’ll try by writing a letter….

    @virginmedia @Tonimc33 Can anyone help me with the hub4

  • _SpankyMo SpankyMo (@_SpankyMo) reported

    @virginmedia I forgot to complain yesterday about how poor your customer service and complaint handling is. Anyway here is the complaint backdate to yesterday C-310121883

  • vikkibeckley vikki beckley (@vikkibeckley) reported

    @virginmedia I would like to leave. Charges have increased and service is woefully inadequate compared to cost. Web site says to ring. I have rung several times - put on hold for almost an hour, then I get cut off. Every time.

  • xmelissyb Melissa Bukauskas (@xmelissyb) reported

    @virginmedia Okay, hopefully my phone will arrive before payment is due. Thanks for your help

  • DaveCooksonDLZ Dave Cookson (@DaveCooksonDLZ) reported

    @virginmedia wish to discuss cancelling my account due to poor service for the amount paid, certainly not willing to pay even more. After an hour no one responded to live chat yesterday and I've been on hold for over 30 mins today, for £54.50 per month I expect much better

  • Just_Woodbridge Justine (@Just_Woodbridge) reported from Wellingborough, England

    @virginmedia I have sent text messages to the number you provided on here, and I last spoke to several customer representatives on 26th January, then asked to speak to a manager, was put on hold for 50 minutes, then you cut me off/the line went dead. So, nothing has been resolved.

  • conorbarbour conor barbour (@conorbarbour) reported

    @virginmedia Last week and they didn't advice anything but troubleshooting that I've been through already about 20 times the problem is of virgins end and its over utilisation

  • BRBAndy Andy (@BRBAndy) reported

    @discounts_mod @virginmedia Why is it only introductory offers available with the Defence Discount Service? I don’t think this is exceptable !

  • Wandster Rich H Wand (@Wandster) reported

    @virginmedia Not recently. The only offer I have been given is pay more £ for more MBs. Problem is we are already paying a lot and we only average about 80% of the expected download speed anyway.

  • squireyorke Squire Yorke (@squireyorke) reported

    @virginmedia Tried contacting you by DM. But like all your other channels this doesn't work either.
