    @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 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

  • Scott_Wic
    Scott Wickham (@Scott_Wic) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia My request to support was about the hub5 and some Wi-Fi extenders/boosters which I’m entitled to, they said that it was sorted and would be in the post and now only the hub5 has turned up!!! Does this mean I have to contact support again…….

    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 🙈

    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

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 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?

  • KeeleyOF101
    Keeley O'Flaherty (@KeeleyOF101) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia you came to my mums house to fix cable. You’ve left having disconnected her phone line and sent it to a neighbour house who is now being rude. Been on hold hour on phone. Both in poor health phone Essential

    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…

    Paul Parker (@paulparker81) reported 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

    @BBCNews Another time phoned up virgin media said my internet was running slow. They said no problems. We can give you a discount for the time it's been running slow. They didn't contact me in any way, shape or form and signed me up to a New year's contract.

  • worleyyy
    Dan Worley (@worleyyy) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia I am glad to see you get your come uppence. Im still trying to leave you after a full year of terrible low speeds. Trying to force me into paying a leaving fee of £400 even though you do not provide a proper service. @Ofcom what do I do??? I'm fed up of poor service.

  • whisperwoIf
    harley ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ (@whisperwoIf) reported

    no wifi and i can’t get more mobile data until the 13th so i am in a very very very extremely pissed off mood **** you virgin media and **** you o2

  • RajabGhandour

    @Stsantek @virginmedia All are same cases. They are horrible to deal with and you end up in constant loop with them!

  • CBTwizard
    Shelton (@CBTwizard) reported

    Good @Ofcom 28 million fined to the parasites that are Virgin Media. Good. I have been victim to this horrible pass on pass on (6+ hours on the phone) department to department and back to start again, as well as a 2 year new contract without my consent (early termination £500 being chased for, after 2000+ disconnections in a month, email proof, text proof, delayed line fixes) list goes on. Parasites, charging elderly people £70+ for like 100mb Maybe @MartinSLewis applied some well deserved pressure. If I'm not mistaken @dshensmith had issues too.

  • jaluch
    Christine💙 (@jaluch) reported

    @virginmedia Received new remotes for your new service main remote works second one does not HELP.

  • NathanGage15
    Nathan Gage (@NathanGage15) reported

    @virginmedia @BonesE78 My contract is about to expire I won't be renewing it as the best price they can do is double what I'm currently paying however a new customer can get the same package for £10pm cheaper than what I'm currently paying.

    Andy (@GetItQuietly) reported

    After anointing Virgin Media as the king of bad suppliers, Switch2 are giving it a good go.

  • andyosb
    Andy (@andyosb) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia did exactly the same thing to me back in 2019! It was - and still is - the worst customer service experience of my life (and I'm now 65). I was just so relieved to escape them eventually. They're utter scum. Do yourself a favour & don't go anywhere near this company

  • AlexBass08
    Alex Burton (@AlexBass08) reported

    More issues with @virginmedia. My nan was out of contract and they repeatedly called with "better deals". She wanted to lower her bill but ended up paying more after being sold 500Mb broadband and Sky Cinema. She lives alone. I called back and said it felt like elder abuse. Why?
