  • claighton89 Claigh Young (@claighton89) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Each month I've had to make subsequent phone calls to have you rectify the bill. I called 2 or 3 times before this bill came out and was assured that it would not happen again. And as expected it has. Absolutely disgusting service!

  • claighton89 Claigh Young (@claighton89) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia @mahager This is still a problem and has been since Tuesday! For the amount people pay for Virgin it a disgustingly bad service!

  • claighton89 Claigh Young (@claighton89) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Media Services. We were offered a deal back in July which was all sports, movies and kids channels for around £111. Since then we have had our wifi and box and each time I call about one of these issues you clear the deal from our account. This month billing us £215!!!

  • 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).

  • lulaamillss millsey. (@lulaamillss) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia This tells me there is no error. Our internet works when plugged in but no wifi whatsoever! Need this sorted ASAP because clearly the service isnt 'good'.

    @virginmedia I've been a customer with you for 21 years and your customer service is not great, I'm paying through the roof for my package, the wifi is crap sometimes, your team has offered to take my bill down £20, but when I mentioned about replacing my hub, that will cost £35

  • PamGayford Pam Gayford (@PamGayford) reported from Billericay, England

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

    It's 11:45. Having been awake until about 6 or so this morning for the election count, my alarm was set for 8 so I could be up in time for the @virginmedia engineer to fix my broadband. They'd be here between 8 and 12 they said. Clock's ticking...

  • LeePatmore Lee Patmore (@LeePatmore) reported from Basildon, England

    It’s a shame @Virgin only look after new customers & punish old customers. One less customer because of New Cystomer deals not available to look after current ones #ShameOnYou #Virgin #Virginmedia

  • loveeRachelxo R A C H E L (@loveeRachelxo) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia you keep cutting off the phone and not allowing me to speak to a manager! I’ve rang back 4 times! And I’ve spoken to 4 different people who won’t help! And keep hanging up...can someone please contact me this is insanely poor service

  • acmtix 𝘼𝙙𝙖𝙢🐰 (@acmtix) reported from Eastwood, England

    @virginmedia What would be really good is if you send out a message to your customers telling them there is an issue rather than leaving it to them to find out that they cannot use your services.

  • JMOC89 James Crouch (@JMOC89) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Yea IL call again sit in a que for an hour and you guys will do **** all again I'm sure

  • ChanEk81 Chan Ekanayake (@ChanEk81) reported from Stafford, England

    @TrekinTech @virginmedia I gave up with Virgin media router after so many of these. It’s is single handedly the worst WiFi router man (or woman or it) has ever invented. But it’s a pretty ok modem TBF..

  • TomReek17 Tom (@TomReek17) reported from Mullion, England

    @DoyleesTheJack @virginmedia Couldn't recommend BT enough mate. Super quick, and provide a very good customer service.

  • NickyMcCallan Nicky McCallan 🐝 (@NickyMcCallan) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia WiFi down, TV signal keeps freezing and the online Service Checker says there is an issue in our area. Again! This is happening at least twice a week if not more.

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia Have got a scheduled call back from the agent tomorrow to try and get through quickly to technical and get someone there to authorise the box swap as it’s really upsetting them with the constant issues. Not convinced but will see what they say...

  • bruttium bruttium (@bruttium) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia SMS service sucks. 30min of security checks, I get a "Thanks for the details. I apologize for the inconvenience as there is a speed issued in the services i will transfer you to our technical team.I am sorry for the inconvenience caused". Next operator "May I ask your full name"

  • EmzeeJaye Emily-jaye collins. (@EmzeeJaye) reported from Stafford, England

    @virginmedia all of yesterday and still today I have no internet. It's been switched off, reset etc. Last month I went nearly a week without service. This needs resolving or I'm leaving.

  • acmtix 𝘼𝙙𝙖𝙢🐰 (@acmtix) reported from Eastwood, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have contacted Virginmedia a couple of times. It looks like there is a problem in Nottingham NG16 area again. This is a common issue. Disconnections and lack of a quality service.
