    @virginmedia You have just repeated, word for word, the last tweet you sent me, to which I replied! Pointless trying to have any conversation with @virginmedia because it just goes round in circles! The most appalling customer services in UK in my experience! No more tweets from you, please!

    Virgin media is literally dog! Worst thing I've done is keep renewing with you every year next year 100% going with bt! Forever dropping out reconnecting utter pointless meant to be 1gig complete waffle! @Virgin #virginmedia

    @virginmedia Experiencing issues in your area there is a technician in the area but still doesn't explain why my routers fans go really loud and disconnected from everything I have to keep resetting to get it back to normal then on top get "issues in my area" like always

  • HJMKent
    Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia Can you please explain why, when I renewed my package in March you reduced my last invoiced bill to reflect the change & took by DD what you said you would! Now you say you will suspend my service because I underpaid? You took what you wanted!

    @virginmedia Hi. The team have also said that the issue isn’t resolved though? Everything has been reset multiple times this morning and still the same issue.

    @virginmedia no broadband since yesterday afternoon, told engineers were on route but still no update. Your offshore call centre is also unhelpful and not able to offer any further information. Please can you help?

    @Ian66232919 @virginmedia @02 have been awful and the reception is non existent, especially any where near Villa Park. May as well not take my phone out.

    @virginmedia @ste1984r But YOU say 'intermittent' loss when it isn't. It's FULL loss of service. And to only compensate after 2 days is crazy.

    @virginmedia Hi, I’m getting around 80mpbs now, should be 350 though, when I try and test it says there’s a problem in the area, but no further information

  • ReissOmari

    And just like that my @virginmedia is off again, no internet whatsoever. Embarrassing service from them, very disappointed and frustrated.

    .@virginmedia have gone back on the contract I was offered. Now trying to charge me £432 for a month's bill when it should only be £14.15. Shocking customer service.

  • pirate1100
    Pirate (@pirate1100) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia @virginmedia are terrible, I stopped the television & phone package years ago because of bad customer service. I only have the broadband now & although the broadband is really good the price is extortionate if you don’t keep signing up to a contract, so I’ll be cancelling that.

  • kellyj70
    Kelly Turner (@kellyj70) reported

    @virginmedia I am going round in circles. I’ve DM’d you several times and NEVER get a reply. Terrible customer service.

    @Benleo @virginmedia I was the same, am I getting a refund for no service 🤔 I doubt it...

  • deputynclegg
    NC (@deputynclegg) reported

    @Benleo @ChrisSleven @virginmedia I concur......Virgin are crap...and I moved to Sky at the earliest chance I could....but can also say Sky aren't much better - and they both make it as difficult as possible to actually talk to someone if you have a problem - I would say though that Virgin are the worst

    @jomickane @Benleo @virginmedia Vodafone. I mean they all ******* suck but Vodafone sucks least at the moment.

  • xxxxnickyxxxxxx
    Nicola Hughes (@xxxxnickyxxxxxx) reported

    @virginmedia please advise what is going on with the intermittent broadband in the Evesham area. It is making WFH really difficult and your service checker states you are looking it to it, it improves and then the same thing happens and I am again advised the same thing

    Michael De La Broc (@MDeLaBroc1) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia They are terrible, they have been talking payments for TWO accounts under my name, one which was supposed to be cancelled/deleted last March!
