    Just been scammed on our home phone bill for 0905481000. We have been charged £54 for a 40 minute call that we apparently made. @virginmedia have said they will investigate it for a charge of £99.95! (No thanks!)🤯🤬. We never made the call, ONLY received & pressed NO numbers!

  • benjaminlangham Ben (@benjaminlangham) reported from Basildon, England

    @richardbranson your virgin media service is shocking! I thought your ethos behind running your companies was a lot better than the top providers but I was wrong, your worse! #leaving

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Another week has passed, still no contact from your unbelievably awful resolution team!

  • markIcutler Skullncross (@markIcutler) reported from Rochester, England

    Something wrong with virgin media website I can't login to my mobile account it would of been better to merge it to my broadband account @virginmedia

  • LAURABELLE72 Laura Elliott (@LAURABELLE72) reported from Thundersley, England

    Have some sense @virginmedia if your mobile phone systems are having issues why wait until the caller has been on hold for over 15 minutes to play the recorded message that says there's nothing you can do about it #********* #CustomerService

  • nicolleclothier nicolle clothier (@nicolleclothier) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia I know what the problem is! Iv explained it to 5 of your members of staff and no one can help! You also want to charge me £100 for to leave you and that’s also what I haven’t asked for you!

  • AhsatanRevolg Natasha (@AhsatanRevolg) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I had no Virgin Media services in Feb. Nor in Easter. Neither do I have them today. Technicians don’t turn up when booked. Today I am using my mobile network 4G to look for a reliable internet service because yours is letting me down too often. Thank you, next.

  • nickihendrix4 nickihendrix (@nickihendrix4) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia what the actual **** is wrong with you people if it was phone bill you guys would have deducted all long time ago but y’all don’t want me to make calls and y’all decided not to warn us either. I swear to God I’m not paying my bill this month periodt

  • Bunglebob66 Robert Bailey (@Bunglebob66) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia But we HAVE NOT MADE the call and because of the “cleverness” of these people, we are not willing to gamble with the investigation. It’s our word against yours! Your “Geeks” could say anything and we’re screwed! We will see out our contract and then CANCEL!!!!

  • Bunglebob66 Robert Bailey (@Bunglebob66) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia We felt we were banging our heads against a brick wall. No we wasted our Sunday speaking to your “Helpdesk” and will not being using our home phone again. My wife’s mum who has #dementia will now, be given my wife’s mobile number written down to use instead!

  • marcsnappy Marc Corn (@marcsnappy) reported from Basildon, England

    @Shadow_Official @virginmedia This issue I found happened more on wifi, I had to put in a secondary switch and run everything via Ethernet.

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia No advice, no contact = appalling service. This is the problem!

  • DouglasEmma07 Emma douglas (@DouglasEmma07) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia poor customer service - simple problem to solve (COM103207174 complaint ref number)

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia I’ve going through this process since 20th March! I’m unable to talk on the phone easily due to a brain injury. I’m still waiting for a response from the resolution team!!

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia This has been ongoing for over a month now. Pixelated on BBC2, E4, Channel 5 etc. I’m entirely feed up with this awful service and this month my bill has increased again.

  • nicolleclothier nicolle clothier (@nicolleclothier) reported from Gillingham, England

    Never use @virginmedia for broadband there useless! I was on the phone to them for 1hour & 30 mins my issue still hasn’t been resolved & they passed me to 4 different members of staff then they put the phone down on me! Complete ignorance!

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

  • NevisAvenger MissP (@NevisAvenger) reported

    @virginmedia it seems your customer service is just as slow as your internet. Been waiting to speak to someone for the past 40mins. Been on the phone for over an hour! Not a happy customer.

  • paulpcooke Paul Cooke (@paulpcooke) reported

    @virginmedia It came through as a text message to my step-son's phone and seems to come from the number he gets his Virgin messages. It seemed iffy to me. There shouldnt be any issues with the payment

    @disk_01 @RichieZuLuBatch @virginmedia I have that ugly looking booster working downstairs in the conservatory but it’s upstairs we’re struggling. I’m sure since my BB was upgraded to the 500gb or whatever it’s been **** upstairs

  • PatriciaOHara12 Patricia O'Hara (@PatriciaOHara12) reported

    @virginmedia Yes an engineer attended for a different reason and he told me what he had found and to keep my eye on the phone bill. Low and behold a charge appeared and customer service also saw that the line was crossed with another number.

  • gem1896 gem (@gem1896) reported

    @virginmedia #virginmedia your customer service team are useless just like your WiFi and tv. I’m sick of paying for a service that doesn’t work.

  • xoangelarunsxo Angela Smith (@xoangelarunsxo) reported
