  • 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!

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

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

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia 2nd complaint made via your website as still no contact 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

  • 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.

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

  • 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!!!!

  • 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.

  • 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 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!!

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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 😡😡😡

  • 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 Faulty equipment, price rise and awful customer service.

  • 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.

    @virginmedia I think it’s time your customers were educated in the way you deal with customers! The constant bad customer service and refuse to remove credit of a bill for your poor services! Send everyone to @CifasUK cos it’s easy way out!!

  • GCook310 Georgina Cook (@GCook310) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah, we reset it yesterday in the middle of the day and it then cut off a further 2 times later on and has continued to cut out today

  • abbiegrimesxxx Abbie Grimes (@abbiegrimesxxx) reported

    @virginmedia I have done all this multiple times, I just want to cancel FREE OF CHARGE! As this is out of order and we have had enough. Please can respond to my mother’s tweets. Which she replied to on this thread and assist her further thank you!

  • RitaPir18192844 Rita Pires (@RitaPir18192844) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and no,I did say that want this dealt as a complaint now ,customer service did say that would get a manager to call me,but havent got any call from anyone. Ive been a customer with Virgin for at least 9 years,not only mobile but broadband too.This has been an awful experience

  • Thee__archangel kng100 (@Thee__archangel) reported

  • SaintSharon12 Sharon Quinn ⚽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@SaintSharon12) reported

    Almost a week off here to do my wee loner thing...I'm back...and I'm back to tell you that Vrigin Money Customer Service is every bit as frustating as Virgin Media! So what's been happening...whit have I missed?

  • Codepope Dj Walker-Morgan (@Codepope) reported

    Oh dear @WeAreROLI - hosting your downloads on S3 US West for UK users isn't a way to give people decent speed downloads - 20KB/sec? Even with @vmbusiness 's current sucky interconnect, that's still pretty damn abysmal.

  • junkie_wannabe josh. (@junkie_wannabe) reported

    @virginmedia I've tried resetting so many times, the connection is still going off, tried everything at this point so any further help would be great

  • mathur_d Deepak (@mathur_d) reported
