  @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.

  @virginmedia we done that, all connections are in to the box, your company network thinks that we are connected via router this not so, but has a cable run into the house.

  @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!

  @virginmedia No as normal Virgin customer service go quiet until I am forced to ring them again and as for the bill no additional charges you just seem to have doubled the bill

• 
  Paul Parker (@paulparker81) reported 16 minutes ago from Basildon, England

  @virginmedia experiencing the worst customer service I have ever had. Been a customer for 10+ years but not after today @SkyUK will be gaining another customer instead

  Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported 20 minutes ago from Rochester, England

  @virginmedia I need to speak to a manager who can help. They don't seem to want to. I have a contract phone, it won't charge, it's under guarantee, I'm paying you and you won't help.

• 
  Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported 22 minutes ago from Rochester, England

  @virginmedia Just to know you still have not fixed my phone line despite a guarantee and you have just sent me a bill@for double my monthly bill.....way to go @virginmedia worst customer service ever!!

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 23 minutes ago 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?

  Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported 25 minutes ago from Rayleigh, England

  @Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

  Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported 31 minutes ago from Rochester, England

  @virginmedia Your missing the point my phone works now my complaint was about the fact it took 9 days to activate and Virgin changed the number

• 
  Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported 32 minutes ago 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

  Jamie Meecham🏳️‍🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported 37 minutes ago 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.

  Sarah Bennett (@sarahhben) reported 42 minutes ago from Gillingham, England

  @virginmedia Our internet is down in ME8 area (Parkwood) status check says ‘no known issues’

  @virginmedia Still @virginmedia can’t get anything right!! Still you screw everything up and provide really bad customer service @BBCWatchdog

  @virginmedia is there internet issues in the Medway area?

  Ashley Halliday (@TylerTowers) reported 1 hour ago 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

  @virginmedia They replaced the box and it’s all working now,I do have one other query I have the Virgin go app but I don’t have any content available on it,is this something you can fix for me? There appears to be an issue with my account I have the ultimate ooomph package if that matters.

  Jonathan Black (@jonblackbsb) reported 4 minutes ago

  I love on a street where it seems over 50% of households use @VMO2Life @virginmedia . That’s quite a lot of £££ per month paid out . But for the best part of a year everyone’s work has been disrupted by poor or no service . Apparently it’s noise emanating from a house 🏠 🤷1/2

  Paul ▶️ (@customerchamp1) reported 4 minutes ago

  Who remembers when @O2 customer service was good? Since the merger with the appalling @virginmedia it's been absolutely diabolical. Trying to help a vulnerable relative, been on hold for 45 minutes 🤮🤮🤮 to reset his password. Shameful.

  If you are thinking about going with @virginmedia for internet just please don't do it. Help yourself by avoiding them

  @virginmedia ok your Customer service has called 5 times this morning when I answer they hang up what the hell?

• 
  Gloucester Glass (@gloucesterglass) reported 14 minutes ago

  Getting more than a little tired of really poor internet in GL2 @virginmedia I rely on it especially with the very poor Virgin/O2 mobile signal in my area. Pull your socks up Virgin this is not what I am paying for. Next week you expect me to connect my landline to my router!

• 
  Kevin (@TheDoctorMagic) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I'd like help with this: Why do you require customers make themselves available for a delivery from 8am to 6pm when other companies are able to give a 4 hour window? And why do you continue using the incompetent @Yodel_delivery company? My recent delivery finally arrived 8.45PM.

  Danny Morris (@danny_9_morris) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia your internet is a joke, for the past 2 days I’ve had intermittent internet where it drops out for no apparent reason. It’s effected me working from home & tonight has mean I’ve missed 3 goals in the France c Senegal game. Your app says no issues but clearly there is

  @Mickskinz @DavidPNoble63 They will enforce it with isp's quite easily. Just fine virgin media if they fail to act on frequent ip address switching

  @virginmedia My email account has been locked since last Thursday 11 June. I am an award winning journalist. This has totally disrupted my work. Your customer services raised a ticket P0136 01850 on Saturday to get it unlocked. Nothing has been done. Over to you.
