Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

lindsay wood (@Dearnormajeane) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@kelseybytheway @virginmedia Second this so ******* hard. Diagnostics dont do **** when the issue is with the hardware itself
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia This is so tiresome I have complained so many times about slow broadband speed, unreliable WiFi, terrible TV services & only after threatening to leave did you send an engineer in July. This made it a little better, but recently it’s been unreliable of an evening.
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia I think she was recording a fault as far as I could make out due to her poor English

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!
-

Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England@virginmedia Sort it out Virgin IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!! Can’t even log on to get service updates 😡😡😡
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia I’ve had two lengthy phone calls with your ‘technical support’ people; it briefly got quicker then stopped working completely. On their instructions I’ve changed some settings on my router which apparently may take 48 hours to fully take effect…
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@BritishGas I’m truly astonished. I didn’t think there could be anyone worse than @virginmedia for customer service but you’ve managed it. I’m in awe.
-
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?
-
Colin Nickless (@NicklessColin) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia broadband down again in Southend. Had to pay for a BT WiFi day pass so my wife can continue working from home.
-
Darren Young 📺 (@Just_Daz_Young) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia No its ok.... ill get a proper company to take the contract over and cancel you. @BBCWatchdog are surely interesting in your customer service as I have screen shots.
-
Michael Buckley (@MikeBuckley2) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia I am trying to access live chat as I have blackspots in house and would like WiFi boosters from Virgin. I have 200 Mbps but am getting only 20mbps in bedroom. Cannot find live chat on sites other than loads of help pages. Really frustrating
-
Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England@virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks
-
Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported 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 from Rochester, England@BBCWatchdog can you help @virginmedia make it impossible to complain or resolve any issues the ultimate poor customer service!!
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

Dan Worley (@worleyyy) reported@virginmedia You clearly don't take it seriously enough. I've complained multiple times over the last year and because I haven't made a complaint twice in one month you won't do anything and force me to pay a £400 fee to exit my contract. Utter horrendous service!! Worst internet company ever
-
Charlotte Dimond (@charldimond) reported@virginmedia Hub box is stuck on a reboot cycle with ‘welcome’ ‘please wait’ and virgin media logo screen. Nothing is happening. I’ve rebooted several times for the past hour. Please can you advise? I cannot get through to the customer service via the phone.
-
Dr A (@thetweetslayer) reported03337331234 This is the only number on your website Its been off for more than a week What Virginmedia-esque dystopian crap customer support is this????
-
💙Susan Robinson 🌹🐞💙🐝🐈🐈🐝💙 (@hatetorycuts) reported@Stsantek @virginmedia So sorry you e switched to EE they’re among the biggest scoundrels of broadband suppliers Disconnected my landline then gave number away Total **** up but no apology & threaten me with £100 exit fee I hate the leeching bastards Look for a smaller more independent company
-
Chris Mullan (@ericthecatmk2) reported@Ofcom I had this problem with Virgin Media 4 years ago and told them the reason I'd never go back to them was because how difficult they'd made it for me to leave them. Months of stress
-
b (@ihavejordans) reported@BobbyMan747 @Virgin Personally i was thinking of making the switch to Virgin Media, but the last couple of weeks i have been hearing a lot of this. I thought they had sorted out their issues, but it appears they haven't.
-
Rob Heneghan (@robheneghan) reported@virginmedia There is a known issue. But the time it’s getting fixed is changing every few hours. And not for the better. As a laying customer we need to know when it will be coming back on as right now I’m using my mobile data for myself and children
-
