  • 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!!

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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

  • DebzGlover Debz Glover😜 (@DebzGlover) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Hi, no service issues in my area according to your website

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!!!!

  • 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 😳

  • liamparker117 Liam Parker (@liamparker117) reported

    @K87Mikey What they like in terms of reliabilityI’ll give virgin media credit, there was a patch of unreliability but otherwise no issues

  • CoachPhilWood Phil Wood (@CoachPhilWood) reported

    @virginmedia please can you contact me urgently to discuss an ongoing issue since Wednesday 27th October? I have called 6 times and have now been charged for something that was your error.

  • NiceLovingFrend Brad!!! (@NiceLovingFrend) reported

    @PlayOverwatch so ******* stupid and this is no doubt a common occurrence with @virginmedia . Terrible service. Nothing I hate more than this company.

  • JamesRead78 James Read (@JamesRead78) reported

    @virginmedia having a nightmare trying to cancel a technician visit, had issues with hub and box but I stripped it all out and rewired it all, to cancel I went on app, it said to log in online, round and round in circles and no way to cancel the appointment!

  • LetRIP Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia Yes. That isn’t the point though. Your website has no information about how to contact you. And your web chat takes 1 hour to do the task of reporting bad speeds. Your contact support needs vast improvement.

  • mrdaly81 john (@mrdaly81) reported

    @virginmedia congratulations. The one show I actually use your service for and I can't because you go down for 24hrs.....well done. @SkyMediaUK any deals on at mo?

  • HelenRuggles3 Helen Ruggles (@HelenRuggles3) reported

    @virginmedia So you call ! They just do the very thing I got paid £500 for over over until I break humiliate me as I am disabled!! I have made 45 calls since July you haven’t had a meeting with over kelly communications us you haven’t lodged the complaint !! You are liars yohave damages pay

  • gemfraser Gemma Fraser (@gemfraser) reported

    @virginmedia Such as WiFi calling and VoLTE. Have been fobbed of twice, new SIM isn't going to fix hardware issues. Customer services didn't know how to fix it and referral to 2nd line fault 'failed' so rather than sort it I was told I had to wait for new SIM & the call.
