    @virginmedia No its ok.... ill get a proper company to take the contract over and cancel you. @BBCWatchdog are surely interesting in your customer service as I have screen shots.

    Two contrasting phone calls to @virginmedia CS this morning. Really unhelpful 1st guy / rude. Rang directly back and the differner guy was absolutely amazing. Mathew was his name and he needs a praise. 1st guy really needs a lesson in customer service. Thank you Mathew.

    @virginmedia your internet has been rubbish recently with varying speeds as low as 5mb 1 minute then 95mb the next! Now it’s gone down completely! On top of not being able to speak with anyone I don’t feel that your service is worth it! #rubbishservice

    @virginmedia hello Merry Christmas. If any one is there today so you know 8f the e mails are down as from early this morning it keeps asking me to put in mu password and then not recognising it but won't let me re set either and I can't send or receive any e mails :(

    @SpursKS @virginmedia What's the issue

  • JamieMeecham
    Jamie Meecham🏳️‍🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia care to explain why a member of staff felt that hanging up on a customer complaining about their broadband is acceptable? And now I’m stuck on hold AGAIN to solve my issue.

  • rob_green86
    Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England

    @westbrookdanni @virginmedia Up to 2 weeks ago I didn't have a bad word to say about them. The pure fact you can't get through to someone is the worst of it. Happy to take your money and trim your internet speeds!

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?

  • coxychris
    chris cox (@coxychris) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia why are no one answering your lines all I wanna do is cancel my package

  • briggsym
    matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia broadband speeds are awful - who should I go with @SkyUK or @BTGroup

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

    @virginmedia They haven’t got through to anyone to cancel it yet?

  • johnperreira
    john perreira (@johnperreira) reported from Basildon, England

    @simon_perreira @virginmedia Go with @NOWTV bruv.. never had a major problem with their service and you get a few tv channels thrown in as well.. when ever there has been a outside problem it been sorted in days.. oh and it def be 💯 cheaper than @virginmedia #Cowboys

  • yiddo71
    Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia Great ring the number that has been absolutely shocking from day 1 or wait 28 days for Virgin to answer a complaint I have been trying to resolve for 10 days currently on phone with customer service but wont let me speak to a manger absolutely s*** from @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?

  • vamplady35
    Sharon Cooper (@vamplady35) reported from Gillingham, England

    @jamesdgreen02 @virginmedia I've got the same problem. Was told by the faults team that if it wasn't fixed by 11pm last night that it should be fixed by 8pm tonight. Still not fixed at the moment

  • TylerTowers
    Ashley Halliday (@TylerTowers) reported from Gillingham, England

    I’ve been on my knees far too much tonight. @virginmedia your broadband is awful these days. And resetting either fails or lasts 10 mins. From superhero to supergran. Not worth your monthly bill. #virginmediadown #virginmedia

  • onearmedjohn
    Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia I think she was recording a fault as far as I could make out due to her poor English

    Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    . @virginmedia down yet again? Not able to watch On Demand and error messages. Plus their website is down. 🙄

    Suzanne Cornyn (@cornynthecob) reported

    @LelJoyce I've got Virgin Media so have been watching coverage on the red button as the 360 coverage has been awful. They were on the studio talking while not covering the Sabalenka game, missing two points as she was serving for the match and then talked over the rest! Awful coverage.

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia I'm not in the least bit surprised, they have the worst customer service in telecoms.

  • BrianNicholso16
    Brian N (@BrianNicholso16) reported

    @markenello @virginmedia Been through the frustrations too Mark. Almost made my blood boil, cut off several times while on long calls and took ages to manage to leave. Had issues afterwards too. Moved to EE and really happy and a UK call centre with very helpful folk. Fifty pounds a month less too!

  • melon_h
    Helen Rimmer @thekindbraveleader.bsky.social (@melon_h) reported

    We now have a @virginmedia engineer booked but not until Tuesday, cue loss of earnings, money spent on extra data and petrol to go to my parents to try and use internet. Issue was definitely local area but now been told need engineer. 5 days after first went off.

  • greencatbooks
    Green Cat Books ~ publisher | bookshop | mentor (@greencatbooks) reported

    @melon_h @virginmedia I switched to Sky last month. I was out of contract with VM and they were charging me £90 a month. They now reckon that I owe over £200 and have unleashed debt collectors, although I did try and cancel them (no contract). I have a referral link for Sky if you like? Gives us both some money off I think

    @MattyBeer @virginmedia Its broadband and TV but I've had more than enough of the terrible service

  • _littleimpulse
    🦉 (@_littleimpulse) reported

    @virginmedia Yes: no WiFi. It went off in the middle on the thunderstorm Wednesday night/early Thursday morning & has not reconnected. Online it’s saying a hub connection issue, but I know it went off with the storm…
