  • CubDJS Drew J Hoskins-Smith (@CubDJS) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I've moved house but remained a customer with no break in payments. As you can see, I was explicitly told to ignore my 'new' contract as it was just a formality with no changes to terms and I can't see any mention of paying two months at once.

  • Howenblue Charles Shakespeare (@Howenblue) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia Last Friday I was promised call back by your Customer Care within 3 working days. I'm still waiting ....

  • Xxx_Rhi_xxX Rhi (@Xxx_Rhi_xxX) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia no signal on mobile in Birmingham. Cant make calls, text or use data! Also not seen the 'reimbursement' from the last disaster #sortitout

  • Shyman00 James Leeson (@Shyman00) reported from Redditch, England

  • lKalpeshMakvana Kalpesh Makvana (@lKalpeshMakvana) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia What a crazy unprofessional experience today when I called virgin media phone to cancel my phone and sim simcard contract...so now I come to know its handset and airtime both gonna separately cancelled. And I need to be very precise with day to call them again😡

  • Plumberguyuk Mike Hamer (@Plumberguyuk) reported from Birmingham, England

    Lloyds Bank is proberly the worst bank with the worst ideas of customer service I have come across in my life even worse than virgin media, your laughable and ameture approach to customers is pathetic, I should be using you as a example of bad customer service in my next series

  • MrASingh Amrit Singh (@MrASingh) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia hey, what’s going on with your internet! It’s not working and it crashed one of my live streams I was on. Your status page is also down too!

  • CubDJS Drew J Hoskins-Smith (@CubDJS) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia @richardbranson @BBCWatchdog @joelycett So, while off sick with anxiety, I thought I'd deal with one issue; Virgin Media wanting two months (which we cannot afford) at once as we've moved house. I thought it was an error but turns out it's bad business at play. Look.

  • Tedtalks13 Teds (@Tedtalks13) reported from Brownhills, England

    YOUR softwares and products were back footed to defraud me hooked in on bill bob gates gap in his programme "and community of python con men" which the camera ip picks it all up bilateral to the fraud hooking in on virgin media @richardbranson best sort your shit out

  • CubDJS Drew J Hoskins-Smith (@CubDJS) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia Yes, the Complaints team have just parroted the same statements back to me without listening to me as an actual person and advised me to talk to the movers team, which is confusing as the Complaints team should be the overall team to raise a complaint with, not just hand it off.

  • JackalynHardy Jackalyn Hardy (@JackalynHardy) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @virginmedia what happening in the b77 postcode for the last 2 nights at this time my Netflix has gone down through the v box 😣

  • bevvyxo_ ✨ Hannah ✨ (@bevvyxo_) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia ‘s broadband is so awful. It’s speeds aren’t as advertised and there are constant issues. for the past 48 hours the internet cuts out every minute or two. Over. And. Over. Again.

  • InfamousSuk Infamous Suk (@InfamousSuk) reported from West Bromwich, England

    One of the worst things i have ever done is move from @EE mobile to @virginmedia mobile as 4g is slower than a slug... currently getting 0.48mbps even my school internet was 2mb 15 years ago pdl 😡😡

  • CubDJS Drew J Hoskins-Smith (@CubDJS) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia The complaint should have been received from two days ago. But yes, we'll see what happens.

    @virginmedia why do you never offer existing customers new customer deals? Is loyalty worth nothing nowadays?

  • HenriettaCorbet Henrietta Corbett (@HenriettaCorbet) reported

    @virginmedia shocking service from you. A week now & still no working internet, keep being told that there is an outrage in the area & yet local neighbours have theirs fixed through an engineer visit. We have another 5 days to wait 😡 #howlongbeforeicancancel #virginmediadown

  • adams1_matthew Matthew Adams (@adams1_matthew) reported

    @virginmedia Any chance you can help me out with getting this sorted , as calling up the helpline is like taking to a brick wall that plays the same 3 songs on repeat until you're thankful for any human interaction

  • digimush82 Jon Cadd 🇺🇦 (@digimush82) reported

    @virginmedia It has now gone passed 15th August 2022 15.00 and I have nothing now. Before it was extremely slow speed with a intermittent connection. Now there is no connection at all!

  • holliedoyle93 hollie doyle (@holliedoyle93) reported

    @virginmedia Stillllll not up & running. Horrendous service. Apparently no issues flagging in my area. Chatbot was crap, literally wasting my time. How are people supposed to work from home with your ****** broadband. It's been well over a week now without wifi connection 🤬 @virginmedia

  • seayork2002 Michelle Maynard (@seayork2002) reported

    @JamesTurner37 @virginmedia You may already be aware or of no help but we have a mobile dongle (USB thingy) that we keep topped up for when our internet is down

  • digimush82 Jon Cadd 🇺🇦 (@digimush82) reported

    @virginmedia With the constant issues which has only got worse and worse over the months. It's obvious Virgin can no longer supply me with reliable broadband. With this, the 24 month contract would now be void! 1, How much longer do I have to wait? 2, What discount will I get if I stay?
