-
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
-
Becca (@becshawyer) reported from Wickford, England@virginmedia disgusting customer service ... after months of issues still not being resolved our latest phone call after raising a complaint the customer service representative hung up on me! Getting to the point now where we will be leaving 😡
-

Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful
-
Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia No as normal Virgin customer service go quiet until I am forced to ring them again and as for the bill no additional charges you just seem to have doubled the bill
-
Sharon Cooper (@vamplady35) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia My understanding is that it is affecting a lot of people. I have now worked out how to access my email another way but do strongly feel that virgin media should be looking to resolve this issue ASAP.
-
paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England@MrG48 @virginmedia Now i cant get a wifi signal 6feet away from the hub... Argh..
-
Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England@Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.
-
Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia Great ring the number that has been absolutely shocking from day 1 or wait 28 days for Virgin to answer a complaint I have been trying to resolve for 10 days currently on phone with customer service but wont let me speak to a manger absolutely s*** from @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?
-
Jamie Meecham🏳️🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported from Canvey Island, England@virginmedia care to explain why a member of staff felt that hanging up on a customer complaining about their broadband is acceptable? And now I’m stuck on hold AGAIN to solve my issue.
-
Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England@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
-
Darren Young 📺 (@Just_Daz_Young) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia No its ok.... ill get a proper company to take the contract over and cancel you. @BBCWatchdog are surely interesting in your customer service as I have screen shots.
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking
-
roger cole (@RogerCole10135) reported from Basildon, England@virginmedia reply to your tweet “NO” my wife pays a lot of money to your company for a poor service.
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia I’ve had two lengthy phone calls with your ‘technical support’ people; it briefly got quicker then stopped working completely. On their instructions I’ve changed some settings on my router which apparently may take 48 hours to fully take effect…
-
Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England@westbrookdanni @virginmedia Up to 2 weeks ago I didn't have a bad word to say about them. The pure fact you can't get through to someone is the worst of it. Happy to take your money and trim your internet speeds!

-
Stephen Hampson (@StephenHampson) reported@virginmedia so channels are down and can't even go on the status on your website as that's down. When you will start compensation for your unreliable service or do I need to send another complaint through? Only way you'll take notice

South Coast Commuter (@CS_Hants) reportedWell, turns out @skytv are just as useless as @virginmedia. Installed broadband today, forgot to sort out TV and Virgin TV doesnt work with Sky fibre. Now have no telly until they find an install date. Why is this so complicated, why are these firms allowed to be so poor @Ofcom
