  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!!!!

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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 😡😡😡

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

  • 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.

  • drongo123uk Chris Tring (@drongo123uk) reported from Gillingham, England

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

  • ruthtsanghy Ruth T (@ruthtsanghy) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia Is there an email I can send to cancel my plan within the 14 days cooling period? Is it your trick who has no customer service available ONLINE + PHONE so I can't cancel?

  • slurmbusters Pup Trix (@slurmbusters) reported

    @virginmedia What? And sit on hold for 2 hours again? I tried calling you before coming onto here. You only have staff on twitter. Not chats. Not phones. If I have to sit through Ed ******* Sheeran for hours again if I ever get through you’re losing another customer

  • ManOWar_Corsair Man O' War (@ManOWar_Corsair) reported

    @virginmedia Wanted to cancel my package but told to ring back in a couple of days as their supervisor is in a meeting? Is that how you hold people to ransom? Told to ring 150 again as I wanted to complain but no options to complain. You really do have customers on a tight leash!

  • LeeWallace_ Lee (@LeeWallace_) reported

    @virginmedia are jokes, every second day being told there’s an issue with a connection and unable to work from home properly, to make matters worse been on hold for two hours and Ed Sheeran is on ******* repeat

  • slurmbusters Pup Trix (@slurmbusters) reported

    @virginmedia What are you going to do about the consistent issues I’ve had? Been paying for gigabit speeds for 8 months and I’ve never seen it above 200mb

  • CitadenK Katie Randall (@CitadenK) reported

    @virginmedia our broadband is down. I've checked the service tracker which says our area is fine; the detailed test says it isn't and engineers are working on it - but no job number or details are given. How do we contact to get this resolved?

  • saintdougie Doug Micheal Matthews 😇🇫🇴 (@saintdougie) reported from Llanelli, Wales

    @BaggieBirdd66 @virginmedia Possibly your local council could help you

  • Russell_Weir Russell Weir (@Russell_Weir) reported

    . @virginmedia our Virgin Broadband has been down for a full day now. We have run tests as your service checker suggests it is “fine”, and have been advised to get a technician out. Earliest time - THURSDAY. Please help as this is key for us working from home - Russell

  • lilypink7 alison hall (@lilypink7) reported

    @virginmedia I have done - there are issues which are supposedly being resolved but this has been going on for 6 weeks now. We also have 2 Virgin mobile phones which have no reception now at home - really running out of patience now

  • slurmbusters Pup Trix (@slurmbusters) reported

    @virginmedia No service, no way of contacting other than twitter. It’s a joke
