    @virginmedia reply to your tweet “NO” my wife pays a lot of money to your company for a poor service.

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

  • GoonerGrizzly

    @virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

    @virginmedia I've already done that. They've made promises but done nothing. I always have to chase you. Phone backs just don't happen. Nobody wants to help.

    @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!!

    @virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

  • jooz282
    Julie McCarthy (@jooz282) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia problems with the boxing again tonight - paid for @anthonyfjoshua fight and keep getting pixelated picture and channel going off air entirely - is it being sorted?

    @virginmedia Thankyou I’ve done that hopefully they fix it 🙏🏻

  • 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

  • moleyfozz
    paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia since you upgraded me for free to intelligent wifi, ive lost all signal upstairs arghhh. How can i switch back?

  • rob_green86
    Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England

    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 🙈

  • DronePilotGeoff
    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

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

    @virginmedia No landline for 9 days following a house move, incorrect bills, and poor customer service being cut off many times

  • onearmedjohn
    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.

  • moleyfozz
    paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England

    @MrG48 @virginmedia Now i cant get a wifi signal 6feet away from the hub... Argh..

  • cboxot
    C Borrill-Bromige (@cboxot) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia I've been having issues with internet dropping out continuosly for a couple of months, you sent another WiFi pod still the problem is there! The hub 3 status network connection has warnings and is critical, losing sync! I have been spin around in circles

  • 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…….

  • briggsym
    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.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

  • DjClaireb
    Claire Branscombe (@DjClaireb) reported

    @virginmedia any reason why we have constant buffering issues on all HD channels at all? Primarily sky sports and More 4. Have checked our status and all good. Unable to watch the Hundred ticket today as it freezes

  • jpk44092120
    jpk (@jpk44092120) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt I’ve just left them for exactly the same reason. My contract had ended and they upped my package by £79 and said they couldn’t do it cheaper but new customers were the same price as my old one. No loyalty to a long standing customer

  • AR59446899
    Kakistocracysucks (@AR59446899) reported

    @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia Agreed, as a Bok supporter,when we crunched them half to death last November they started to call for scrumming laws to be changed,good to see that the ABs are back,looking forward to a tough series now…just get rid of that **** Ben Smith he’s giving AB rugby a bad name.

  • DebbieJRudd
    Debbie Rudd (@DebbieJRudd) reported

    @Jennababes @virginmedia My phone contract was wth 02 then obv merged with Virgin and the customer service is crap! I can’t even get on my account to see usage etc. The man in 02 said we know it’s an issue, I can look and tell you your usage, no, sort your ******* website out so I can see it myself 😡

  • cantliff9
    Jonathan Cantliff (@cantliff9) reported

    @virginmedia so, broadband issues in my area which means the connection as been hit and miss, just went on to check the service status for an update and it cannot find my account, how do you manage to makes things worse every time?

  • Si_Vargeson
    Simon Vargeson (@Si_Vargeson) reported

    @virginmedia is it usual practice to delay installations without communicating to your new customers? You’ve currently missed 2 instal dates and no comms to let me know to avoid waiting at home for your arrival…. Customer service seem to be unable to provide any detail too😡

  • DymDymok
    Dmitriy Lobov (@DymDymok) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt 18 years? Man, has it never occured to you to check what alternative were?

  • wistern1337
    Wistern1337 (@wistern1337) reported

    Sickening it's still hard for customers leave your service despite being fined by the UK government £28m I moved away from your service in March to a new provider. I have been charged over £300 for unused services. Refund refused. Never sign up to ripoff Virgin! @virginmedia

  • o00525600
    NEVER give up. (@o00525600) reported

    @TheMandyGall @ElectricIreland virgin media has threatened me with collecting heavies if I don't pay for service I never got I tried and tried to tell them I was moving but couldn't get to talk to anyone eventually in March I did but they didn't want to know my bill then was 37 e,now it's 157 e on and on on on

  • mcrobgi
    BlueTickBob❌ (@mcrobgi) reported

    @virginmedia thanks for wasting more of my time. You don’t answer the phones, your chat bot repeats itself, you promise to call me at an agreed time & don’t bother ringing me !! Great customer service!!
