  • benavfcfranklin Ben Franklin. (@benavfcfranklin) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia No they asked me to do some checks which I did then never got a response again. This has been going on weeks now.

  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    I can’t get because Hub 3 doesn’t support it, poor quality control, worse customer service @virginmedia I want it sorted today!!

  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Absolutely atrocious customer service! Waited for my Hub 4 to arrive as we are now paying for highest broadband, it arrives and has wrong power cable inside, phoned to sort, on hold for 20 mins then speak to someone who has IT issues and has put us on 40 mins hold!

  • AndyTDEJ Andy H (@AndyTDEJ) reported from Dudley, England

    I think @virginmedia are attempting to outdo @TUIUK for the worst customer services . I’ve spent 45 mins on hold so far waiting to speak to a human . Doesn’t beat 3 and half hours trying Tui but bless Virgin they’re trying. Just appalling 👍

  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    And now you have been offline for over half a day with your website still saying there is no known issue?! I want to make an official complaint to both @virginmedia and @Ofcom , Your service is appalling and your customer service even worse.

  • benavfcfranklin Ben Franklin. (@benavfcfranklin) reported from Dudley, England

    @LDTomo @virginmedia 3 times I’ve contacted them now & they’ve done **** all about it. Want £100+ to move a router as well the jokers.

  • benavfcfranklin Ben Franklin. (@benavfcfranklin) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi is running at 3.4 download speed. This is the 3rd time I’ve contacted and done tests and still no fix has been made.

  • adam_jordan112 Adam (@adam_jordan112) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I’m absolutely disgusted with the mobile messaging chat. I have been trying since 11:30am to speak to an advisor and still not getting anywhere. I’d now like to cancel my new order as I am disgusted with the customer service for a new mobile customer!!!

  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Just phoned, spent 35 minutes on hold, call answered, questions asked, checks being carried out.......... Phone gets put down!!! Do you expect me to call again for the same atrocious service?? @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog

  • richiebunn Dickie B (@richiebunn) reported from West Bromwich, England

    The award for the worst ever customer service goes to @virginmedia over an hours wait to get through.

  • benavfcfranklin Ben Franklin. (@benavfcfranklin) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia Yes this was after I reset. I have been trying a hub reset regularly and it doesn’t help. How do I check the package I am on? Im not sure.

  • mercede72928186 Mercedes Hodson 👷🏻‍♂️💁🏼‍♀️ (@mercede72928186) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @Carol74438555 I was having issues with Virgin media too but they are sending me an updated box out so hopefully it will be ok then

  • RoyKyffin Roy Kyffin (@RoyKyffin) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia why has my mobile signal strength dropped now Virgin Mobile is piggybacking off Vodafone? Used to be full strength when you used EE.

  • benavfcfranklin Ben Franklin. (@benavfcfranklin) reported from Dudley, England

    @LDTomo @virginmedia **** that they ain’t having more money off me when their speeds should be much better. It’s never been this bad so there’s an issue somewhere.

  • psicorps2000 David H-T 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🇳🇴🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@psicorps2000) reported from Solihull, England

    Anybody in B37 with a @virginmedia box having problems with their boxes rebooting? Ours has done it twice without warning this evening.

  • bicovico victoria nicholson (@bicovico) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia shocking service again today

  • ninsull Nickins (@ninsull) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia how can you spend nearly an hour on two phones to report a problem with no one picking up. Yet ask me if il refer you. @next stop I’m cancelling my contract.

  • MartinClarke165 Martin Clarke (@MartinClarke165) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia No service still. Outrageous. No customer support. Online mths all day. Great advert for Virgin. The most reliable broadband provider #poorservice

  • adam_jordan112 Adam (@adam_jordan112) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia has your mobile online order website gone down? It keeps telling me to message or ring to order?

  • leeharris85 lee harris (@leeharris85) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia customer service as good as ever told I’m being put through to another team.... then cut off

  • benno86222551 LFCandPROUD (@benno86222551) reported

    @virginmedia Let me ask you a question, I am a chef, if you come to my Restaurant over 8 days and had 7 bad meals, would you be happy to pay each night?

    @virginmedia Thanks, we will try that. Its for my Mam but now we are looking think she has never registered an online account.

  • middlemoo Andrew Roberts (@middlemoo) reported

    @Victoriahollie3 @virginmedia It will probably nearly £ 2000 next year ...still the same service off the council though...

  • 5littlestarsan1 5littlestarsandthebigGoldOne (@5littlestarsan1) reported

    @TheAthletic Just in time for me to cancel my virginmedia subscription.

  • MelChayse Mel (@MelChayse) reported

    One of the worst things I did was switch my broadband provider to @virginmedia ...absolutely shambolic

  • creusebelle Kerry Miller (@creusebelle) reported

    @virginmedia How many times do I have to have my complaint resolved? I'll just sent the resolution from Experian to the Ombudsman and ask for compensation!

  • creusebelle Kerry Miller (@creusebelle) reported

    @virginmedia What a crap service. Even the manager won't help me. Depends who you speak to I suppose.

  • goldenfleece72 Talos Railways (@goldenfleece72) reported

    @virginmedia can you advise if and when i will ever be connected ? this customer service is very poor

  • PlanBstudio Steve Price 😈 Creative Director (@PlanBstudio) reported

    @virginmedia our high speed broadband goes down more times the @RishiSunak’s ratings. It is deeply frustrating and unacceptable. We have had no internet at home since 09:19 this morning. Postcode TW1.
