    @virginmedia Hi, had a call this morning allegedly from you saying my internet service was compromised and malware was being downloaded, then proceeded to ask questions which I refused to answer. Was it you lot?

    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

    Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I spent over an hour on the phone yesterday trying to get through to a customer service rep only to get cut off. Still waiting to hear on WhatsApp and been on hold this afternoon 45 mins and still holding???? Whats going on??

  • tolu_____
    Tolu (@tolu_____) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

  • HeyYouItsCorrie

    @suziqvk @virginmedia BT, without a doubt. Virgim media is absolutely useless, bad internet, bad coverage, bad service

    @kelseybytheway @virginmedia Second this so ******* hard. Diagnostics dont do **** when the issue is with the hardware itself

  • polhilljim
    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

  • yiddo71
    Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @KAYI50747133 @virginmedia Yep how you have explained it is exactly the same for me, have tried my 2nd box upstairs but the same problem!

  • paulparker81

    @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

  • yiddo71
    Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia Just to know you still have not fixed my phone line despite a guarantee and you have just sent me a bill@for double my monthly bill.....way to go @virginmedia worst customer service ever!!

  • yiddo71

    Friday evening and my internet is down.. Virgin Media you will crumble! I pay too much for this foolishness 😒

  • Omersaeela
    👾 (@Omersaeela) reported

    Hi @virginmedia my account has been locked and I’ve been trying to contact support for over 3 hours with no response. I urgently need help because I’m trying to set up my new WiFi device. Calls are not being answered either. Terrible customer service 👎

  • ShepsSW19
    Sheps (@ShepsSW19) reported

    @virginmedia no Internet or WiFi for 6 weeks. Spent 12+ hours on the phone to customer services on numerous occasions. Promised a cable installation on 3 seperate occasions now, not once has someone turned up. Lies. Broken promises and woeful customer service. Not good enough 😡

  • JustAnAlienOk
    RogerSmithUpInThisBitch (@JustAnAlienOk) reported

    @virginmedia Estimated fix time 13th May is ridiculous. What’s the point of spending that much money if it always stops working every month?

  • p_e_l_4
    Paul🦦 (@p_e_l_4) reported

    @virginmedia is 5 hours waiting for your cancellation team standard procedure? Absolutely ridiculous customer service. You should be investigated and fined for this. Never going back to your services ever

  • ChokeLever
    Teddy (@ChokeLever) reported

    @giffgaff Tbh I didn’t chose @virginmedia because their reviews are poor. I should’ve known better as it was still their engineer who failed to show up. #Frustrating, but for #giffgaff not to have any means of rectifying the issue is unacceptable. I am being penalised as a result.

  • DevilHatman
    Hatz (@DevilHatman) reported

    @virginmedia what on earth is going on? My upload speed has been dogshit since Friday/Saturday. Today along it's dropped from about 25mb/s to less than 10mb/s. All your site says is "intermittent issues in the area"... which is so regular its utterly redundant now

  • crispinlewis
    Chip Lewis (@crispinlewis) reported

    @virginmedia , trying to contact you to cancel, downgrade or renew contract?! It’s urgent anyone going to answer phone?! Web chat doesn’t work! What is going on?!

  • Nethers_x
    Nethers (@Nethers_x) reported

    @virginmedia my WiFi is down, 2 people can’t work.

  • obbsie
    Chris Hobbs (@obbsie) reported

    @virginmedia getting slaughtered on 'X' re customer service. Customers have been trying for literally hours to get through. I'm approaching 30 minutes as I've just seen what my new monthly bill is & am being told that unless I install a new box, I'll be cut off. It's the same muzak over & over again.
