  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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 🙈

  • 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 ....

  • 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!

  • _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

  • 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?

  • TDF_TT TDF TT (@TDF_TT) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia TV outage ME4?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • IGmp3 George Payne (@IGmp3) reported

    Scared for my pc. Little white led at the front is hiccuping. Not picking up quite as much hard drive activity. Getting hard to access net. restarting the desktop did nothing. @virginmedia , I pray this is just a problem with you guys, otherwise, @DellUK , I need an explanation.

  • StoneNufc NUFC Stone roses (@StoneNufc) reported

    @virginmedia People need to avoid you at all costs…. Where does this end? How have you supported? Your last call was “I don’t know how to help”

  • CarolynClark1 Carolyn Ginley (@CarolynClark1) reported

    @virginmedia broadband not working again. Engineer meant to attend last Friday waited in all day. No text/call, no show. Awful customer services

  • WilliamMaskell William Maskell (@WilliamMaskell) reported

    @virginmedia Hi Virgin, me again, I’ve waited another 10 days and had nothing happen despite being charged extortionate amounts to call customer service who all tend to say different things entirely. I’ve also raised a complaint which hasn’t been responded too. Also was told would be (1/2)

  • fomocryptoman ak a (@fomocryptoman) reported

    @virginmedia come to the end of my contract spoke to 3 retention department advisors my virgin landline cuts off on all 3 mid conversation not one called back,I can't seem to change my package what a disappointing service seriously

  • pedders1000 Peter Berry (@pedders1000) reported

    @virginmedia waiting on your whatsapp webchat for 3 hours to raise a complaint and still in the queue for an agent. 3 hours!!! Is this acceptable service?

  • Reihane35505962 Reihaneh (@Reihane35505962) reported

    @virginmedia As I didn’t accept on the WhatsApp chat as I got kicked off while being in a work meeting. I did mention that my reply would be delayed. When I called the customer service they offered me the deal but called me today to say they couldn’t honour it as I did not accept on chat.

  • StoneNufc NUFC Stone roses (@StoneNufc) reported

    @virginmedia You’ve made a bigger mess of this after months of calling and web chatting …. Now you have lost my formal complaint????

  • stoosh_meister StoosHMeister (@stoosh_meister) reported

    @virginmedia Issues are still ongoing, your team is incapable of providing me with a new contract i requested while moving house, i have been messed around repeatedly with no solution in sight, each support call ended with promises of resolution and then nothing, no call back, no resolution.
