    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!

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

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

  • TcEllalou21 Trevor John Cheal (@TcEllalou21) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia this is getting a right joke now no one wants to help us and tell us when we will be getting our service back #superslow

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 1CreativeRay Ray Stower (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia No communication from you & no updates.This was one of the worst possible times of year for sports fans for this to happen. This is happening regularly since KIER group took over. I’ve had to make nothing but complaints the last 12 months. Appalling standards/service

  • benjaminlangham Ben (@benjaminlangham) reported from Basildon, England

    @richardbranson your virgin media service is shocking! I thought your ethos behind running your companies was a lot better than the top providers but I was wrong, your worse! #leaving

  • TicTac1985 Suzanne D Edwards (@TicTac1985) reported from Rochester, England

  • nicolleclothier nicolle clothier (@nicolleclothier) reported from Gillingham, England

    Never use @virginmedia for broadband there useless! I was on the phone to them for 1hour & 30 mins my issue still hasn’t been resolved & they passed me to 4 different members of staff then they put the phone down on me! Complete ignorance!

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

    Something wrong with virgin media website I can't login to my mobile account it would of been better to merge it to my broadband account @virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia This has been ongoing for over a month now. Pixelated on BBC2, E4, Channel 5 etc. I’m entirely feed up with this awful service and this month my bill has increased again.

  • 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!!

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

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

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

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

  • lampard_sue Sue Lampard (@lampard_sue) reported from Warden, England

  • nicolleclothier nicolle clothier (@nicolleclothier) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia I know what the problem is! Iv explained it to 5 of your members of staff and no one can help! You also want to charge me £100 for to leave you and that’s also what I haven’t asked for you!

  • 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

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

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

  • walegates Wale Gates 🇳🇬🇬🇧 (@walegates) reported from Rochester, England

    Hey @virginmedia! Your service is down in the whole of Strood. It’s been down since Friday, you are definitely going to lose a lot of customers this year from ME2. Fix it please, keep saying your engineers are on it. They not.

  • DouglasEmma07 Emma douglas (@DouglasEmma07) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia poor customer service - simple problem to solve (COM103207174 complaint ref number)

  • Darwinsaysno The Bear in the Corner💙 (@Darwinsaysno) reported

    @virginmedia Price rise to packages during a global pandemic? Classy. When people need a communication service the most, and have less money coming in, you choose to raise the tariff. Pure profiteering. Unpleasant and mean spirited.

  • Idksch1 Idksch (@Idksch1) reported

    Virgin media WiFi needs to fix up 🥱

  • mytsharp mytsharp (@mytsharp) reported

    @virginmedia The issue is definitely with you, the status of the internet on my hub 3.0 is ‘Access Denied’. Although this is not a new account, it would seem that there is an activation process to follow by phoning an automated 0800 number which also isn’t working.

  • FraserMcQ_ you think it got to me, I can just read your mind (@FraserMcQ_) reported

    @virginmedia your internet is **** sort it out

  • smarteehh Corinna Rogers (@smarteehh) reported

    @virginmedia That may be but it has been difficult to contact you and after being stuck in a text loop for a week to be then told you should go on a forum to resolve your problem because you can’t get hold of anyone, not to mention the very high price I pay every month it sticks in your teeth

  • mattd1981 Matt Dickinson (@mattd1981) reported

    @virginmedia ok, logged a complaint months ago and still no response. Please don’t use COVID a an excuse for poor customer service. Please contact me without delay. Was told 8 weeks and it’s now been 9 @Ofcom

  • KerryStarbuck kerry starbuck (@KerryStarbuck) reported

    @virginmedia It drops out 3 to 4 times every hour, I’ve been taking screen shots every time it does, I don’t know my login details every time I try it’s says not recognised

  • divajulieann 🗣Just Jules Presents 🦋 © (@divajulieann) reported

    @virginmedia @CaarlTTV @virginmedia I am on hold right now waiting to discuss my broadband issues again. Been on hold for ages after being transferred to the tech team by a very condescending operator in payments. I hope HE sends me the questionnaire about his performance! Fix your service!

  • BruceEJLewis Bruce Lewis (@BruceEJLewis) reported

    Trying to watch the live FA Cup football on @btsport red button but the picture quality is very poor, and that's through @virginmedia. Watching it on @BBCiPlayer on the app on my tv, excellent picture quality.

  • WeeNicProvan Nicola Provan (@WeeNicProvan) reported

    @LynneyS @virginmedia Yes and got a message last night saying it was fixed. Thought my printer was broken all day. I'm not well & just wanna curl up & watch movies. I have everything with @virginmedia 😢
