  • itsDanBull Dan Bull 🍐 (@itsDanBull) reported from Birmingham, England

    @MrDKOz @virginmedia I asked Virgin's technician about the business package when i joined and he specifically said I wouldn't need it because their fibre service is so reliable it'd be a waste of money to go for the business package. I remember that vividly and it turned out to be terrible advice.

  • Mijan93243645 MH (@Mijan93243645) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia It was hard to contact you to follow up, I tried many ways but was getting no where as everything seemed to be on automated, however again in April I was having more issues and it got to a point I went on Twitter and someone responded with a text service but again like always

  • Mijan93243645 MH (@Mijan93243645) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia I’m not paying the full amount for April and may, until you revie my bill for not getting my full service and I don’t receive my booster I am not paying a single penny, and I’m not contacting anyone. You sort it. DM if you want my account details

    @virginmedia your poor service is killing me, internet comes on for 10 minutes every hour, causing chaos at home now with all the family not able to study or for me to work.😞

  • Mijan93243645 MH (@Mijan93243645) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Your text service is worse than speaking to someone live

  • WadrupR Rob Wadrup (@WadrupR) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia once again your service is shocking. This month alone I’ve lost my connection and tv so many times. I bet you soon be on the phone when I stop my standing order next week

  • Steveluckett Stephen Luckett (@Steveluckett) reported from Codsall, England

    @virginmedia have the worst customer service in the world. Reported a fraud case to them 2 months ago and they have done nothing with it. You call there call centre and they just hang up on you. Great work guys 👍🏻

    @virginmedia It an area fault that I gave you reference number for. Diagnostics show no problems as I have stated.

  • jamesgibson279 James Gibson (@jamesgibson279) reported

    @virginmedia I'm done trying with virgin media as long as they get their money the customer is forgotten,cant even phone without phoning India & getting the same thing again, no one listens,gave plenty chances to fix this but sadly think we'll have to change suppliers.

  • gerry00 Gerry McDonnell (@gerry00) reported

    A simple but important message to anyone considering taking out a @virginmedia cable subscription. DON’T Just don’t. It’s woefully unreliable as is their customer service. Save yourself a lot of grief. Look elsewhere.

  • emmajay58894054 emmajay (@emmajay58894054) reported

    @virginmedia what is your customer service phone number or email address please?

  • ManiPillai1886 Mani Pillai (@ManiPillai1886) reported

    This morning, wifi crashed. TV signal disappeared. Called @virginmedia to be told “there are no issues in your area so it must be specific to you. It will take a few days for us to help you.” Plans to wfh abandoned. Now, we learn that there *is* a problem in our area.

  • xyopic Wayne Andrew (@xyopic) reported

    Hey there @virginmedia. This is my notice that in 4 weeks I'm leaving your worthless, waste of money, broadband supply. I'm sick and tired of constantly lagging during online multiplayers or watching streamers on Twitch 3 minutes behind everyone else. £40 a month for this ****!

  • taz3677 louise stone (@taz3677) reported
