  • WUFC2005 Football 4 All (@WUFC2005) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia nothing but issues. 2G & 5G always stops working. Updates happens when ever it feels like. And every time I contact Virgin, it's like talking to a 6 year old.

  • sharonblaxland Sharon (@sharonblaxland) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia has gone down, no internet and only a few obscure tv channels.... that I’m watching, so I can keep watching telly 😳

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia I’ve going through this process since 20th March! I’m unable to talk on the phone easily due to a brain injury. I’m still waiting for a response from the resolution team!!

  • marcsnappy Marc Corn (@marcsnappy) reported from Basildon, England

    Hey @virginmedia you better offer me a better deal tomorrow or else I will be leaving. New customers are always treated better than existing. I know from experience with you guys that this never changes.

  • marcsnappy Marc Corn (@marcsnappy) reported from Basildon, England

    @Shadow_Official @virginmedia This issue I found happened more on wifi, I had to put in a secondary switch and run everything via Ethernet.

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Another week has passed, still no contact from your unbelievably awful resolution team!

  • LAURABELLE72 Laura Elliott (@LAURABELLE72) reported from Thundersley, England

    Have some sense @virginmedia if your mobile phone systems are having issues why wait until the caller has been on hold for over 15 minutes to play the recorded message that says there's nothing you can do about it #********* #CustomerService

  • drongo123uk Chris Tring (@drongo123uk) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia @therealpaulbond Seems like its a lot of people with problems, 103, 113 not working but 853 is.

  • markIcutler Skullncross (@markIcutler) reported from Rochester, England

  • Bunglebob66 Robert Bailey (@Bunglebob66) reported from Rochester, England

    Just been scammed on our home phone bill for 0905481000. We have been charged £54 for a 40 minute call that we apparently made. @virginmedia have said they will investigate it for a charge of £99.95! (No thanks!)🤯🤬. We never made the call, ONLY received & pressed NO numbers!

  • sharonblaxland Sharon (@sharonblaxland) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia why oh why do you keep sending me paper bills AND charging me for them, I have never asked for a paper bill and have phone to cancel them twice 😡🤬 and this morning what do I get 😡😡😡

  • nickihendrix4 nickihendrix (@nickihendrix4) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia what the actual **** is wrong with you people if it was phone bill you guys would have deducted all long time ago but y’all don’t want me to make calls and y’all decided not to warn us either. I swear to God I’m not paying my bill this month periodt

  • Bunglebob66 Robert Bailey (@Bunglebob66) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia We felt we were banging our heads against a brick wall. No we wasted our Sunday speaking to your “Helpdesk” and will not being using our home phone again. My wife’s mum who has #dementia will now, be given my wife’s mobile number written down to use instead!

  • AhsatanRevolg Natasha (@AhsatanRevolg) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I had no Virgin Media services in Feb. Nor in Easter. Neither do I have them today. Technicians don’t turn up when booked. Today I am using my mobile network 4G to look for a reliable internet service because yours is letting me down too often. Thank you, next.

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia No advice, no contact = appalling service. This is the problem!

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia 2nd complaint made via your website as still no contact from the resolution team!

  • LawroGardiner Lawrence Gardiner ➡️ (@LawroGardiner) reported from Basildon, England

    @Dianemiddleto @tankhead666 @virginmedia Thanks. I got the text hours after talking to Virgin Media on the phone to activate my hub after a house move. Never had it before. Something not right in their call centres.

  • Bunglebob66 Robert Bailey (@Bunglebob66) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia But we HAVE NOT MADE the call and because of the “cleverness” of these people, we are not willing to gamble with the investigation. It’s our word against yours! Your “Geeks” could say anything and we’re screwed! We will see out our contract and then CANCEL!!!!

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Faulty equipment, price rise and awful customer service.

  • rmjfletcher shannon (@rmjfletcher) reported

    @virginmedia my wifi keeps freezing but you’ve not updated your service page to reflect these issues, how can I get this in writing to confirm to my work please?

  • argen Bruno Belcastro (@argen) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I'm being charged more than a contract that I recently signed and there's no option to contact you on the site. Can you please help?

  • lisalouann Lisa Martin 🤍🖤 (@lisalouann) reported

    @virginmedia 1) After being on the phone for over an hour explaining our issue of no WIFI upstairs, Tivo box not working properly and not able to view Prime or On Demand Live Events we’ve purchased, the polite Virgin rep needed to get authority from a Floor Manager to book

  • StuartAParker Stoo Parker (@StuartAParker) reported

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness OK, I’ll play the game again. I’ll report back here with how well they did resolving the issue.

  • nanipals Dr. Renuka Mudunuri (@nanipals) reported

    @virginmedia When myself and my wife both are in teams or zoom call, we are facing issues after a few minutes. We are also finding issues when connected to VPN. Your technical service guy told us that you don’t support using VPN Is it correct?

  • NoswadLegin Nigel (@NoswadLegin) reported

    @virginmedia what are the issues with the broadband/ internet / WiFi in the Caterham area? How long until they are fixed?

  • nanipals Dr. Renuka Mudunuri (@nanipals) reported

    @virginmedia , why internet is more unstable when we are in zoom or teams call? What is the use of 350MBPs or 1GBPs connection? Most unreliable provider.

  • lisalouann Lisa Martin 🤍🖤 (@lisalouann) reported

    @virginmedia 4) I will be cancelling my contract and moving to Sky as you are not providing the full service we are paying for. From a very dissatisfied and unhappy Virgin customer with over 16 years’ loyal service to you! Please respond.

  • StuartAParker Stoo Parker (@StuartAParker) reported

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness This is beyond a joke. Contacted CC and explained. The response? “Sorry to read this Stuart, give the guy’s a faults a crack at fixing the issue” with a link to check outages!!! And a suggestion to contact the faults team! OMG, you are beyond incompetent!

  • nanipals Dr. Renuka Mudunuri (@nanipals) reported

    @virginmedia , All guys we realised a new fact from VirginMedia. They are saying that We should not use VirginMedia broadband for work from home as we are using VPN. The most unstable,and unreliable service in UK.
