  • dave6018 David (@dave6018) reported from Penwortham, England

    Wow @virginmedia love how your retention team just put the disconnection through and never offered me any thing to even try and convince me to stay

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    Whatever you do think twice before joining @virginmedia it might look fast on paper but the 100mbs service is running slow in Kirkby when it runs at all. Customer service just blames Covid @VodafoneUK gave me prices really quickly by a lovely lady working from home

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia Please give me the contact address I guess I will compile the complaint in full and send it to whom ever overseas Virgin’s false advertising, breach of contract and not fit for purpose service I cannot see that Virgin give a toss about their customers or trying to sort internet

  • jhewitt1771 john hewitt (@jhewitt1771) reported from Appley Bridge, England

    @virginmedia shocking service from the mobile team.Had a problem with a number and tried to sort it for 6 months now .Keep getting passed around then phone goes dead.will be moving all my services back to sky

  • NicOneFile Nic Tabern (@NicOneFile) reported from Rainford, England

    @virginmedia I keep getting told that there are no issues, but when I run the test, this is what I get! The test results were inconclusive We'd be happy to investigate further.

  • trev0rj0nes trevor jones (@trev0rj0nes) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia still no contact. Help me out here will you

  • GayToryJon Jonathan (@GayToryJon) reported from Blackpool, England

    @virginmedia The work has been completed within 2 hours, which is commendable. Have checked my postcode and sadly you don’t offer a service here, even though it’s only about 20 feet from where they have just been working.

  • JackCarroll_ JackC (@JackCarroll_) reported from Blackpool, England

    Is Virgin media tits up or is the cod servers tits up here or is it both, **** my life

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia all about the money not about the service. In Kirkby Merseyside we have had a lot of outages since March and you are ignoring my requests for help by email, chat, FB, Twitter and don’t answer the phones. @VodafoneUK uk answered my web chat straight away

  • Stickings90 Graeme Stickings (@Stickings90) reported

    @virginmedia I got a text from you about works in the NE4 area that may interrupt my services, claiming they will be back by 6pm, at the earliest. That means I am going to miss a programme on a cable channel at 4pm :-( Any further details?

  • gnomeicide Cab Davidson #FBPE (@gnomeicide) reported

    @virginmedia do you approve of agents claiming to work for you calling by mobile phone and pressure selling? Then getting stroppy when asked for ID and saying they are are just trying to help!!

  • Dylann1997 Dyl🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Dylann1997) reported

    @virginmedia 3 hours collectively on the phone being refused cancellation by rude unhelpful agents, being passed around like a bloody ball. Horrendous service all round you should be ashamed

    @virginmedia Cable which is meant to be underground is tacked to my house - 3 visits later and we are no further forward - I will hold you responsible for any masonry damage please have someone call me to discuss

  • hesgen Hesgen (@hesgen) reported

    Yet another all-day @virginmedia outage in SG8. Why? Kindly give us a substantive explanation. It's becoming impossible to work from home, and for the self-employed like me that means loss of income.

  • ExChildGenius Ex Child Genius (@ExChildGenius) reported

    @virginmedia can i not send you a DM anymore? I've been talking to customer services for 4 hours now and it's unresolved. I just want to ask you a question and would prefer not to do it on my public feed. Thanks.
