  • 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!

  • Tiger118118 Thomas Hapgood (@Tiger118118) reported from Basildon, England

    **** you @virginmedia I want my money back please 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

    @virginmedia TV outage ME4?

  • 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.

  • moebius1967 ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    I'm having real trouble cancelling my Virgin media account. Cant6v chat them, can't email them now on hold for 10 minutes. Just want to end the contract give 30 days notice. New promotion only for new customers. Wtf?

  • keldaaa Kelda🥤 (@keldaaa) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia I can’t seem to find an email address or postal address for general queries, can you please provide me with one? My nan is now in a care home with dementia and we need to cancel her landline, broadband & mobile on her behalf so need to write to you to give details.

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

    @virginmedia get enough money from me and all the others get enough, from the rest of the paying public. So stop being greedy, stop paying the Premier clubs so much and wages will have to come down. There, sorted!

  • moebius1967 ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @bushontheradio Trying to get through to Virgin media to cancel the contract. Bloody chatbot isn't worth a ****

  • _SamButler Sam #GSBOUT (@_SamButler) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia BT Sports 2 picture keeps getting distorted... any other channel is fine can you help please

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

    @virginmedia Hopefully the confirmation of the rude man losing his job.

  • goonerlgh Lawrence Hooker (@goonerlgh) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Third Superhub and it's just as unreliable as the previous two. Frequently has to be reset. Slow speeds, unstable wifi. When are you going to replace it with decent hardware?

  • polhilljim Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia This is a long story. But Virgin have changed my IMEI number making a second repair not possible. My account is down and even Virgin can't access it. I've been promised calls back several times but they've not happened. The litany of Virgin failures is impossible to put in a text

  • Kimlovett Kim Baker was Lovett (@Kimlovett) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia what’s happened to your customer services? I have stayed with you for years now need your help, can’t log into my account need your help and holding forever on the phone ....

  • marcgallagher82 Marc Gallagher (@marcgallagher82) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia your sales team are the biggest bunch of #fraudsters I’ve ever dealt with! Phone us to offer a better package and you have taken our package and completely messed it all up! #CustomerService at it’s worst! If this is how you treat a loyal customer of 14year, I’m off!

  • jamesrfyoung James Young (@jamesrfyoung) reported from Wickford, England

    @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

  • hungoverdrawn Robert Shaw (@hungoverdrawn) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia It's started working this morning after 24 hours down, bit strange that your website said there were no service issues anywhere 😒 I guess I'll cancel that engineer visit now.

  • wonky61shaky Penny Rolfe (@wonky61shaky) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia When are you going to refund me for many days without a wifi signal

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

    Anyone else really struggling with slow speeds over the last 10 days with @virginmedia. It's been spot on for 2 years now and then 10 days it seems something has happened. Lucky to get over 10Mb now 🙈

  • moleyfozz paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia trying to log a fault but still not received txt with online link. Telephone always on hold plz help

  • DronePilotGeoff Geoff Watkins (@DronePilotGeoff) reported from Gillingham, England

    @fasurveyors @virginmedia I have to say; I’m normally pretty pleased with @virginmedia internet. It’s normally fast and reliable. But last couple of days has been awful. It’s getting too expensive as well

  • HaroonC7 Haroon Chaudhry (@HaroonC7) reported

    @virginmedia Mark from Glasgow, Barry from Glasgow and Aliyah from god knows where have all not bothered to return any calls. I am honestly t has ashamed by the service that has been provided by @virginmedia and @O2 having allowed this mid-selling to happen. They lure you in with promises.

  • tahiri79 Tahir Ismail (@tahiri79) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia I don’t think many people would agree. It seems to me that this rule or policy is financially benefiting @virginmedia & other companies penalising customer’s like myself who move home. I would also like to add that in my case I moved to a new build and all new builds are BT only!

  • TrishODonnell19 Trish O'Donnell (@TrishODonnell19) reported

    @virginmedia terrible chat service. 3 days now and been passed from one chat to another answered same old security questions and no help

  • MrAlexGallagher Alex Gallagher (@MrAlexGallagher) reported

    @LouiseHolding @virginmedia Can you please provide an update?! 8 calls in and over 4hrs on the phone and still no resolution…

  • Stocks_Gazer Stocks Gazer (@Stocks_Gazer) reported

    @virginmedia I'm in the process of moving from a business to residential package and asked specifically for the Hub 5 only to be told it's not available. I'm upgrading to the 1Gbit package, and yet, I see many have Hub5s. Was I lied to by your customer service team?

  • karenfuat Karen Fuat (@karenfuat) reported

    The worst customer service I have ever experienced @virginmedia

  • HaroonC7 Haroon Chaudhry (@HaroonC7) reported

    @virginmedia Hi - I have had intermittent signal since I have signed up and there has been no help from @virginmedia at all. I have spoken to so many people in your company and no one person gives the same consistent message. Appalling customer service and I have no idea what to do!

  • Marcushblade87 Marcus Hague (@Marcushblade87) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia I'll do this right away. @LutzSchueler, hope you're taking note of this. The products you offer are unmatchable, the service on the other hand, is up there with the worst I've ever experienced.

  • cr10123 C (@cr10123) reported

    @virginmedia Really - you're going with #BetterConnected - OK... lol if you could go a whole day without an outage on your residential or business services, I would say go with it but for now, maybe less well connected. #NotConnected

  • Bandit72 Gareth (@Bandit72) reported

    @virginmedia You can have the most polite customer service in the world, but with all due respect, if you're advertising a service you cannot provide then in the words of @Lord_Sugar it's a complete SHAMBLES. @richardbranson
