  • 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!

  • buckers43 Andrew Buxton (@buckers43) reported from Basildon, England

    @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

  • FoxSlfox sharon fox (@FoxSlfox) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia @J_Roobs What is going on with broadband in our area we have had little or no service for days lucky we have sky broadband as well as I would not be tweeting this message #sortitout or loss our custom

  • 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...

  • 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!

  • 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'.

  • 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).

  • selman1979 matt (@selman1979) reported from Thundersley, England

    @bingosbadingos @virginmedia @Ofcom They will play the game mate - you report them. Virgin will send a letter 2months backdated in 4 months wanting a response to allegation , minewhile oftcom close it as out of time .. literally virgin cost me a fortune damaging drive / lost work - promised refund never did

  • _SimonChapman Simon Chapman (@_SimonChapman) reported from Rochester, England

  • FoxSlfox sharon fox (@FoxSlfox) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia What is wrong with the broadband having no problem for days even weeks but no service at all now . Hope we will be refunded for service that not being provided

  • 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

  • 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!!!

    @virginmedia This was via WiFi and sadly not the first time. I also use sky Go which is perfect picture quality. Any other streaming service is fine, Netflix 4K, prime, anything but virgin tv go. Can I get some answers as to why your service is so below standard compared to others?

  • EvaPoen Eva Poen #IStandWithMaya (@EvaPoen) reported

    @virginmedia @devondave8 @virginmedia Please tell how we can receive updates on this fault. The automated phone number says there isn’t a problem, and the service status pages doesn’t work.
