    @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!!!

  • JamieFrodoMMA 🇮🇪Jamie 'Frodo' H (@Dorm-Room Dogfights)🇮🇪 (@JamieFrodoMMA) reported

    @virginmedia customer service is genuinely the worst I've ever interacted with. Your agents are condescending, unhelpful and generally full of sh*t. I've spent the past four weekends trying to complete my service change and have now been charged for a service I no longer have.

  • chugh28m DR Mukesh chugh (@chugh28m) reported

    @virginmedia Tried everything , not working , you can escalate this from your end

  • AdriandaviesJ John Davies (@AdriandaviesJ) reported

    @virginmedia No fix time all engineers have left the area. Half our street have been left with no internet, phone and TV. Not the best way to start the weekend.

  • EmmaLovelace Emma Lovelace (@EmmaLovelace) reported

    Virgin media streaming service requires a £35 "setup fee" Why?

  • nelly_france Nelly (@nelly_france) reported

    @virginmedia nearly 48 hours on to your WhatsApp just to cancel my service with you. Is it any wonder!!!

  • djxcdjxc Simon Cross (@djxcdjxc) reported

    @virginmedia hello, twice now on a Friday at this time my router is failing to connect to the internet. The WiFi symbol is solid but the two connect buttons keep flashing and I cannot connect. GU111YX shows on the service status of your website as having no issues. Please help!

  • Redbazza23 Barry Spencer (@Redbazza23) reported

    @virginmedia Used WhatsApp before never got a reply.

  • DivineBox1 Divine Box Ltd (@DivineBox1) reported

    @virginmedia we have been without internet and telephone all day! We run a business and cannot do the postage for orders today! Please advise on the issue and when it will be resolved.

  • Wocker35 Dave Seel (@Wocker35) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I did lodge a complaint. I cannot understand why force customers to sign 2 contracts 1 with another company. This may effect credit scores for some 🙁. It’s not logical. Happy to speak to a manager.

  • NiallScott Niall Scott 🇪🇺 (@NiallScott) reported

    @virginmedia Do you still have live chat available for customer service? I can’t find it anywhere on your website. I find it much more preferable than a telephone call.
