  • neilmead Neil Mead (@neilmead) reported from Gillingham, England

    Awful customer service from @virginmedia As a long-standing customer I only called to see if there were any offers available, but of course these are only for new customers and told I have best deal already. I doubt that. Same old story. #disappointed

  • moleyfozz paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England

  • sharonblaxland Sharon (@sharonblaxland) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia majority of my channels stopped working, picture and sound very distorted about an hour ago, tried rebooting etc still not working. Tried ringing but your too busy and call cuts off 😡

  • achurms81 Alan Churms (@achurms81) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia hi guys I know it’s very busy but I was just wondering if you can send me a replacement SIM card as mine keeps losing signal and dropping calls

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

    @virginmedia this awful service is part of the reason I'm leaving. Over an hour of trying to get told lines are busy, no queue or anything just call back later

  • alancollinspdb Alan Collins Rosell 🔶️🎗 (@alancollinspdb) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Your customer service is a joke! I've been on the phone over an hour and spoken to 9 different people to be lied to and told the engineer tried knocking and calling my mobile this morning (I've been home all morning but had no one at the door and no missed calls).

  • frankroe2 frank #13 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@frankroe2) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Our virgin remote has stopped working, tried re pairing and new batteries but won’t turn volume up or down or tv on/off

  • paulparker81 Paul Parker (@paulparker81) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia online chat help absolute waste of an hour of my life, now on hold for 20 mins so far. Disgusting customer service.

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

    @virginmedia There are no faults in my area. The issue is likely to be with the router as the 2.4ghz works consistently on other devices.

  • Kelly_QPR Kelly 🐰 (@Kelly_QPR) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia We were told we would get a call back within 72 hrs on Sat morn but no call. Every time we call we spend 90 mins on hold. We are new customers & have numerous problems. Now considering cancelling due to appalling customer service. Please can someone contact me.

  • roxcreeve Roxc Reeve (@roxcreeve) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    The way my mum has been treated by virgin media this week is disgusting as a paying customer she’s been in tears and they’ve violated there terms and conditions @richardbranson your staff should be ashamed of themselves

  • Tiger118118 Thomas Hapgood (@Tiger118118) reported from Basildon, England

    Hope @virginmedia fix it before 9 because @LoveIsland Final is on at 9 😖😖😖😖😖

  • frankroe2 frank #13 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@frankroe2) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia why is so hard to get in contact with you, it’s like you don’t want to help.

  • TomRoss_ Tom Ross (@TomRoss_) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Yes there are issues showing. But this is direct through the TiVo box not the app.

  • yiddo71 Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Gillingham, England

  • LiamWren liammwren (@LiamWren) reported from Rochester, England

    Wait all day for the 16:30 kick off. Don't watch anything and pay £70/month for this. Sat on the phone for half an hour trying to speak to someone. Shocking. If you can't deliver what you promise then cancel my subscription. 👊 @Virgin @virginmedia

  • roxcreeve Roxc Reeve (@roxcreeve) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia our virgin has stopped working (DA11) are there issues?

  • LukePawley1 Luke Pawley (@LukePawley1) reported

    @virginmedia But of course, you don't care about that. I managed to get through to someone else after 2 hours yesterday evening at 21:00. They promised me a callback today. Guess what....? Nothing, nada, zip. Standard VM Customer Service.

  • paulsharpe17 Paul Sharpe (@paulsharpe17) reported

    @virginmedia 34 minutes trying to get through to customer service! TV keeps going down, internet keeps dropping out. Resetting both boxes several times a day!! The street cabinet down the road is missing its front cover. £70+ pm for worse than useless service.

  • JohnHutchinson John (@JohnHutchinson) reported

    @virginmedia I will try this when I can but I am currently working, and behind as it is due to awful internet. I shall reply back when this is done and would appreciate a response. Thanks.

  • finmentalkg kate Gibson (@finmentalkg) reported

    @virginmedia relentless poor broadband services and your solution is to switch the thing off and on again. Does that work? Yes for about 6 mins. It's not just me, my neighbour is the same! Oh and if it rains, then guaranteed no signal! What do you suggest?

  • Michelleb0411 Michelle Bonner 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Michelleb0411) reported

    @virginmedia Called back last Friday to be told hadn’t been done right, that it was a manager that needed to add the discount codes etc, I made a further complaint and still not a manager or anyone from@complaints has contacted me

  • Michelleb0411 Michelle Bonner 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Michelleb0411) reported

    @virginmedia It’s not an upgrade I was offered a package to move from sky that included tv bb &phone! I only have bb called numerous times, assured management call backs, not once have I had a call back! Made complaint advised by them it was sorted, never received box as advertised
