Howard Martin 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England@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!

Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM
-
Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, EnglandCausing me to drop out of a work meeting once every 10 minutes. Oh, and Virgin tried to blame it on my hardware? Except... My neighbour is seeing the EXACT same thing. This wasn't happening before the outage. @virginmedia why am I paying you lots of money for a spotty connection?
-
Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England@eerosupport hi. I have a Eero 6+. If I connect it to @virginmedia 1gbps service, will I get 1gbps?

Robin 🤘🏻 (@RobinB1971) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia signed up for your new broadband and still waiting for the stuff to arrive. Apparently parcel is still at @YodelOnline main hub. This is the SECOND day I've cancelled things and waited for it to arrive as yet to no avail. WTF is going on!?! 🤬
-
Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England@virginmedia afternoon. I’ve been on hold for 25 mins and when I finally got through the line went dead after security questions. My mum has been without her TV service for over a week. Last night an engineer was due by 6 o’clock and never showed. Another text stating the 26th

Paul Parkin (@kingoftheshed) reported@virginmedia And once again it goes down just I’m about to watch the boxing. Sort it or I’m putting in a formal complaint.
-
Reformed Prisoner (@formerprisoner_) reported@virginmedia Next time, do what you promise and you will. Just a shame that you’ve had 3 opportunities to do that with me as a customer and you’ve failed all three times.
-
Sprout57 (@pwcwright) reported@misselledee @virginmedia Yes, you can cancel. They have failed to uphold their end of the contract, including the no-show appointments
-
Harry john (@ahmedbella19101) reportedTired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8k_Best_IPTV30 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷
-
Phil (@philbreadin) reported@virginmedia how come my bill has jumped from £55 to £72 mid contract? I understand it's April and a small price increase is expected but £17 is taking the mick. With the issues I've had lately @sky is looking more tempting.
-
Jemski (@jemski7) reported@virginmedia well done. You’ve lost me as a customer of 25 years because you wouldn’t supply me just broadband like you do for new customers. That’s is some ****** up priorities. Good riddance to you.
-
Jonny Rep (@TrapitJon) reported@Hank83416250473 @virginmedia Always go here to report it myself. It’ll usually tell you if there’s an issue in your area and when it’s likely to be fixed
-
Rep74NL (@JohnnyRep74) reported@virginmedia your Webchat is awful , got an email regarding upgrading to 360 . Directed to webchat , 35 minutes later still trying to sort out what is an easy request . Your agent takes 10 minutes between each response to answer . I’m not bothering now
-
Addy (@iadnan9) reported@roisinecarr @virginmedia @virginmedia Reported an issue 2 months ago and only just received a response. The advice given was unhelpful, careless, and frankly unprofessional. The issue is still ongoing with Now being told it could take another 28 days for a follow-up. Completely unacceptable and a waste
