    @virginmedia Shame your customer service agents on the phone don't seem to feel the same. You cancelled my TV & BB before agreed date, agreed to re-instate which turns out to be a lie as now refusing to unless I agree to a long term contract. Astonishing awful treatmeant

  • KevinRenshaw5 Kevin Renshaw (@KevinRenshaw5) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia My concern is that you disconnected me on Saturday and 6 days later and about 5 hours of calls later and 3 times being promised it would back on. I STILL HAVE NO SERVICE! I am not concerned I am annoyed by your inability to act!

  • KevinRenshaw5 Kevin Renshaw (@KevinRenshaw5) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Done that as well. I have made at least 20 calls to you and been promised reconnection on numerous occasions and then nothing happens and I go through it all again. Your customer service is dreadful

    @virginmedia just had a sales call from you guys and the woman I spoke to was extremely rude. Maybe you should just let people ring you if they wish to change their services.😡

    @virginmedia why can’t I get through to your technical helpline - we’ve tried last night and tonight. The waiting times are ridiculous. And the problem still isn’t fixed.

    @virginmedia Hi I have a dispute with virginmedia broadband regarding a discontinued broadband service on March 31st.2022. I have failed to get in touch by phone, chat or webform. Please phone me 07954475728. I want to resolve

  • richardfox92 Richard Fox (@richardfox92) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 Also why is this happening on your site "Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit." everytime I click on a link.

  • RazaInes ines raza (@RazaInes) reported

    @virginmedia No they are saying I am still waiting to be connected. There are issues in the internal system. That was 1h30 ago :((

  • Patto47864296 Patto (@Patto47864296) reported

    @virginmedia I’d love to help but no Wi-Fi- I’m using mobile data - took the day off work as well because we just had to get it fixed - losing faith with Virgin fast - address is 9 Avondale Crescent Cardiff Cf117DE

  • BabyGhOuLBuNdaa ✨BabyGhOuL✨- Free Page for you to worship me on (@BabyGhOuLBuNdaa) reported

    @virginmedia It says there's no issue in our area but the WiFi is down. It just says connected without Internet.

  • Josh61194 Joshua Stevenson (@Josh61194) reported

    @virginmedia This is perfectly highlighting the problem with virgin media customer support, a generic response which I reply to and never hear back. I've never felt such a lack of customer care from any organisation, it's inexcusable in this day and age...

  • SouthCoastAM AM (@SouthCoastAM) reported

    @virginmedia The link to download the wifi hotspots profile in the "My Virgin Media" app is incorrect. It links to a profile for provisioning mobile data but should download a profile containing the settings for the public wifi network.

  • RazaInes ines raza (@RazaInes) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I tried the WhatsApp number but the service does not work out and nobody replies :(

  • sturat0810 Stuart Hasler (@sturat0810) reported

    @virginmedia Still 4 days in a Virgin can’t sort there fraudulently sneaky contract out. Asked for the ombudsman to call me over a week ago. This is beyond poor and your service has broken the law

  • NOCHNCES hallo-reen 👻 • trj lovebot LYD DAY!!!! (@NOCHNCES) reported

    after being on hold for an hour and then arguing with unihomes about bills and then hanging up on our rude landlady i’m now on hold with virgin media trying to figure out why we’re paying extra money for better wifi but the wifi doesn’t reach the back of the house
