    @virginmedia 4th failed appointment. I’ve just called to cancel my order and instead I received a Delayed Activation email. My instruction was to cancel my order today. I do not want to deal with a company as useless as you, so do not try and be clever with me.

  • Samanth32789588 #hellomynameis Samantha Miller (@Samanth32789588) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Your Customer Service really is so bad...looks like another hour long phone-call AGAIN with probably somebody AGAIN, who doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Definitely taking our customer else where after this 😡

  • Sarahsgracesmum Clare Marie Watson (@Sarahsgracesmum) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia tv and broadband dropping in and out. Whenever I call I just get a call centre faraway telling me they've restarted it and that should fix it. It's not. #veryfrustrated

  • roymc1980 Roy Mcgaw (@roymc1980) reported from Seaforth, England

  • mand102 Amanda Archer (@mand102) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia Seriously, what the hell is going on with the WiFi in Haydock, St Helens, Merseyside. Loss of connection 5 times in the last half an hour. App says no issues! Get it sorted!!!!

  • tmcd1989 Tom McDermott (@tmcd1989) reported from Roby, England

  • humfmeister Reysan 💙 (@humfmeister) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia is this a genuine call about router speed asking me to download speed test and a quick support app. Surely you can test my broadband speeds?

  • PHEFC83 PH (@PHEFC83) reported from Liverpool, England

    @caffyhank @virginmedia They are shite. I left them 2 weeks ago due to the same issue. 100mb and was getting like 2mb. Although when I phoned up a few days before disconnection, they messed with my settings and I got 100mb!!

  • ClaireW15691381 Clario73 (@ClaireW15691381) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia had no TiVo working for 1 week now. WiFi running really slow. 5th day of calling up and being passed from pillar to post, on hold for 45 mins only to be told I’ve been transferred to the wrong department, further hold for 35 minutes to have the line go dead!!!!

  • holamiju H. O'Jew #EndSARS (@holamiju) reported

    Your customer care (call centre, online, and lately email) staff are the best at ghosting customers once they're told one wishes to exit the @virginmedia UK network. "Kindly hold on as I transfer you to the department that handles such issues". Then radio silence...for 4 months!

  • eamonnloconnor Eamonn O'Connor (@eamonnloconnor) reported

    @virginmedia Keep well away from Virgin Media. I have had an awful experience. Even when I post bad reviews they still don’t care.

  • ramatapa paul minto (@ramatapa) reported

    Hi @virginmedia seeing as your "contact us" section of your website just goes into an endless loop with no actual contact options and your messaging service doesn't bother replying any chance of being able to get in touch with an actual human being to discuss my account??

  • glitzytalons Michele Copeman (@glitzytalons) reported

    @virginmedia As I have said twice - I am getting nowhere! I just get left in a queue waiting, for 4 to 36 hours and then asked again if the bot can help me. It’s not difficult I want a Hub3 and a V6 box.

  • eyesonshen UNFRIENDLY (@eyesonshen) reported

    At this rate, I can go to every Virgin Media office and **** on their doorstep because what is it with their crap wifi man

  • lillylalgal Louise Cowley (@lillylalgal) reported

    @virginmedia I had no service for an entire day at the end of October & lost a days money. I’m simply asking @virginmedia to credit my account £67.50

  • glitzytalons Michele Copeman (@glitzytalons) reported

    @virginmedia Constantly going around in circles - the bot, then a human, same questions, speedtest, then seemed to establish that I need Hub3 as only have Hub2. Then transferred to tech team, 4 hour wait queue , then a are you still needing help - yes or no, text yes then back to bot

  • SoniaMarsdenx Sonia Marsden (@SoniaMarsdenx) reported

    @virginmedia @Flav_Bateman @lawrence_bury Hi the WiFi signal doesn’t cover our back bedrooms, we’re in a 3 bed semi so it’s not as though we have a huge house lol. We didn’t have this problem with sky but I believe their 2nd boxes act like a WiFi booster? We have a 2nd box with you but I’m not sure if yours work the same

  • hgray281 Heather Gray (@hgray281) reported
