    @virginmedia Media Services. We were offered a deal back in July which was all sports, movies and kids channels for around £111. Since then we have had our wifi and box and each time I call about one of these issues you clear the deal from our account. This month billing us £215!!!

  • buckers43 Andrew Buxton (@buckers43) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia I've been a customer with you for 21 years and your customer service is not great, I'm paying through the roof for my package, the wifi is crap sometimes, your team has offered to take my bill down £20, but when I mentioned about replacing my hub, that will cost £35

  • kellydyke08 Kelly Dyke (@kellydyke08) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia checked the website apparently no issues in my area, yet tv and WiFi keeps going off 👎🏻👎🏻

  • claighton89 Claigh Young (@claighton89) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Each month I've had to make subsequent phone calls to have you rectify the bill. I called 2 or 3 times before this bill came out and was assured that it would not happen again. And as expected it has. Absolutely disgusting service!

  • shannonispeng S H A N (@shannonispeng) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia are trying to say I owe them 2 months of bills even though I can see on my bank statement I paid last months bill. Can someone please advise me as I just sat on hold for 30 minutes only for the rude inept **** to hang up on me after placing me on hold. #fuming

  • MrG48 Mr.G - Longy - Graham (@MrG48) reported from Gillingham, England

  • DrPenguin16 Dr Penguin (@DrPenguin16) reported

    @virginmedia when will you figure out how to make a FUNCTIONAL network service. ******* useless you lot

  • jasonpeacock8 Jason Peacock (@jasonpeacock8) reported

    @Plusnet I’m currently with @virginmedia and my contract ends in August. I’ve lived in this house for 24 years and never had a BT line. Question. How long does it take to get your Broadband in from scratch?

  • Homermckinley John Mckinley (@Homermckinley) reported

    @virginmedia gonna presume the mobile network is changing to Vodafone, I see 4g browsing speeds are down and I've very little signal in or outside my home, same as my work vodafone. Can I leave my contract due to this change and join EE?

  • DavidHo86685927 David Holmes (@DavidHo86685927) reported

    So I qualify for Volt being a customer of both @virginmedia and @O2, I've applied through my 02 app and heard nothing, any help please ?.

  • lucymichela19xx Lucy Michela (@lucymichela19xx) reported

    Either the guys who own this house pay 10p a month for this internet, or @virginmedia around here is the shittest connection going. Never used to average 50 to 60 ping with constant packet loss in the last place they had on @BTGroup

  • iKyle2017 iKyle 🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧🇫🇷#WearItWithPride (@iKyle2017) reported

    @derrickca @virginmedia Stick to it or they’ll continue with the vile service.

  • mr_staplegun J (@mr_staplegun) reported

    @shoottheducks @virginmedia The reason I left also. Might be fast when working but when you have regular outages pretty pointless. I got out using thinkbroadband free health monitor. Basically pings your router regularly and tracks failed pings. I sent them the evidence and they allowed me to cancel

  • Tinaboatman Tina boatman (@Tinaboatman) reported

    @virginmedia so just in case I was in any doubt about cancelling my contract with you after being a loyal customer for more than 20 years !!! You have once again well and truly messed up so I can confidently say @SkyUK are 100% better

  • JackoBlogs Jack Gallagher ⚓ (@JackoBlogs) reported

    @virginmedia I’d be fine with your WiFi if I had asked for a **** connection that constantly dropped, but I didn’t x
