  • 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!

  • 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 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 😡😡😡

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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!!!!

  • 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!

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

  • 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!!

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

    @virginmedia I need help with my account

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

    @rlarkinho @SkySports @virginmedia Exactly the same here man!! This is piss poor

  • disguisedintel NOT IN MY NAME (@disguisedintel) reported

    @lesleymack @virginmedia I would recommend hiring a medium because you will 100% find more customer support from them than any avenue virgin media give. 24 days no internet here and now given 2nd 2 week wait bringing it to nearly 6 weeks without connection. Do you know any good medium's I could try???

  • stevespalding Steve Spalding (@stevespalding) reported

    @daggersfan @virginmedia Could not agree more. I've been a Virgin Media customer for over 15 years and been rewarded with nothing other than perpetually increasing prices. Their recent merger with O2 (another company with woefully inadequate customer service) has given me reason to find another provider.

  • smegmatron99 cdiddy9 (@smegmatron99) reported

    @ClaireNffc_xo @virginmedia Think it's a virgin media issue

  • wearebackhome sofcell (@wearebackhome) reported

    @rlarkinho @SkySports @virginmedia No problem on fire sticks lol

  • woorea Luis Gervaso (@woorea) reported

    Virgin Media admitted 8 days of total loss of service, but only after I escalated to the Ombudsman. Still, my case was dismissed for “lack of evidence.” 🧵👇 #VirginMedia #ConsumerRights #Broadband

  • samyidcharteris samantha (@samyidcharteris) reported

  • silvercupra Richard Varney (@silvercupra) reported

    @JP_Galea @O2 Yes! As of yesterday when I loaded the o2 app I had to go through the the link to create a virginmedia account and link my o2 at this point it failed! To link not happy if #o2 don't fix this I will be leaving I may as well be with giffgaff at least I could view my account

  • murielmc28 Muriel Hanlon 🚶‍♀️⛑🏃‍♀️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@murielmc28) reported

    @virginmedia received an email stating about changes we are making to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Though it seems to come from talktalk. But dealing with my virginmedia email. Is this a phishing email?
