Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, EnglandWhy is it every companies customer service line is so crap and does not want to help in any way shape or form #curryspcworld #virginmedia @BBCWatchdog
-
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.

Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England@virginmedia I had already look at this page previously. And when we have issues there is no indication on what it could be, I. E the *********** light is in as if its connected
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, EnglandAfter 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, I’ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. 😔. #TimeforaChange

paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England@MrG48 @virginmedia Now i cant get a wifi signal 6feet away from the hub... Argh..
-
Sharon Cooper (@vamplady35) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia My understanding is that it is affecting a lot of people. I have now worked out how to access my email another way but do strongly feel that virgin media should be looking to resolve this issue ASAP.
-
∂αиѕкι (@DanskiBoyWonder) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia Thankyou I’ve done that hopefully they fix it 🙏🏻
-
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?
-
Penny Rolfe (@wonky61shaky) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia When are you going to refund me for many days without a wifi signal
-

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
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.
-
matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England@virginmedia how can I complain about internet reliability from your service. It has been appalling and inconsistent and seriously considering moving to another provider.
-
Sarah Bennett (@sarahhben) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia Our internet is down in ME8 area (Parkwood) status check says ‘no known issues’
-
Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England@Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.
-
Andrew Owen (@owensirons93) reported from Corringham, England@virginmedia any reason why you still haven’t fixed our phone lines? Been down for 3 months now so I’ll be expecting a reimbursement. Also expect a reimbursement due to the fact your failing to supply the minimum download speed
-
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 😡😡😡
-
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?
-
Paul Ilett, Author (@Paul_Ilett) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@fingers_terry @virginmedia I hope so. I’d hate to have to cancel my subscription.

CrankyGeek (@pepetideo) reported from Oxford, EnglandYou only know how sitty a service provider relly is when something goes wrong. Was with @virginmedia for over 5 years. Now that i decided to leave they have charged me for 2 months with me already with another provider. After complaining they take 2 months to refund you and now that i sent them their router they somehow misplaced it and charged me 40 quid saying i didnt send it (even thought i had a call last week where i gave them the receipt) If you are their customer.. Get out as soon as possible and remember to block the direct debits. They cannot be trusted with your money.
