  • Gfunk_in3D Gfunk_in3D (@Gfunk_in3D) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia I really don’t know how you can morally charge for the pitiful service you provide. You have the most consistently unreliable download speeds I have ever come across.

  • northernmicks Kenneth Owen (@northernmicks) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia i telephoned because i wanted to reduce my services, the first call offered reduction to 47.95, never happened, second call refused to call me, third call apologies for lack of action confirmed reduction and a credit again nothing happened

  • northernmicks Kenneth Owen (@northernmicks) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia that's the problem businesses assume customers are happy to spend their lives phoning them and be happy wasting hours and hours

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia So service resumed around 3pm with an email confirming it. In the last 5/10 mins the wireless connection keeps disappearing off. It’ll return for a second or two, then drop again. Unsurprisingly your status checker says there isn’t an issue despite there clearly being one.

  • thestuchy13 Damon (@thestuchy13) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @virginmedia getting beyond a joke this no internet again in WN5 area after only getting it back working after 3 days last week you had better refund some of my money back and also data charge for my family's mobile network not good enough

  • Tinkerbellkimmy KimSmith⛳🧘‍♀️ (@Tinkerbellkimmy) reported from Risley, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin came home to a letter today stating your increasing my bill 3.00 per month from September! What's happened to loyal customer discounts utter joke! #Nothappycustomer

  • Gfunk_in3D Gfunk_in3D (@Gfunk_in3D) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia feels like this is getting tweeted a lot but your internet is the absolute worst!

  • northernmicks Kenneth Owen (@northernmicks) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia so much easier to cancel direct debit without having to bother with a call

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    Pretty ironic when the @virginmedia Service Status page doesn’t work.

  • thestuchy13 Damon (@thestuchy13) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @virginmedia It's a fault you was suppose to fix yesterday at 4.15 in the area but still hasn't been fixed

  • Tinkerbellkimmy KimSmith⛳🧘‍♀️ (@Tinkerbellkimmy) reported from Risley, England

    @virginmedia came home to a letter today stating your increasing my bill 3.00 per month from September! What's happened to loyal customer discounts utter joke! #Nothappycustomer

  • walshy31 Paul Walsh (@walshy31) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia as an existing customer disgusted by experience my wife had ordering a new phone! Told delivered Thursday, worked from home, then advised by @YodelOnline it would be next Tuesday! Virgin day not down to them then receives a bill for end of the month #CustomerService

  • Tinkerbellkimmy KimSmith⛳🧘‍♀️ (@Tinkerbellkimmy) reported from Risley, England

    @virginmedia Hello I spoke to retentions yesterday and my contract is going down to 78.00 something but havent had an email from you with the new details im not having any luck with online chat noone responded

  • Lara__1302 LaraB (@Lara__1302) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia I haven’t but now that I have a link I will try that. Fingers crossed they will be able to resolve the issue

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia So it looks like the router resetting was the start of a bigger issue. Router appears to be having issues again. Your diag service thinks the router is switched off but it certainly isn’t.

  • Lara__1302 LaraB (@Lara__1302) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia It’s for mine and my daughters mobile. Been going on now for 2 days. Can’t make or receive calls. Been into Virgin store today and they gave me a new sim. But couldn’t help with checking to see if there were issues in my area.

  • northernmicks Kenneth Owen (@northernmicks) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia ***************, said change bill never did, ring can't deal with it but can't ring you, you a sodding phone company, get a grip

  • mdrvideo Mike Roberts (@mdrvideo) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    Cant access my business website @virginmedia keep hanging up worst customer service ever #virginbroadband #useless

  • BrightLitegames BrightLightGames (@BrightLitegames) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down AGAIN, Queue the automated twitter response. Time to find a new provider I think!

  • xray_lisa Lisa Proctor (@xray_lisa) reported

    @virginmedia You've clearly never had a parcel delivered by Yodel.

  • stewartjmurray1 stewartjmurray (@stewartjmurray1) reported

    @sniffpetrol @ScottishPower @virginmedia Virgin are absolutely awful.

  • twestmacott Tom Westmacott (@twestmacott) reported

    @sniffpetrol @ScottishPower @virginmedia My fave was when Virgin hooked up my new neighbour... by disconnecting my line. And then refused to admit fault leaving me offline for three weeks. Never again!

  • dalcur92 Dale (@dalcur92) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. If we called after 1pm regarding the issue would you say the switch back should be imminent?

  • StevieNoises StevieNoises (@StevieNoises) reported

    @sniffpetrol @ScottishPower @virginmedia Oh they're utterly terrible. Had an 9 hour back and forth over text to try and cancel my service before I moved. Utterly enraging and abysmal service. Never again

  • AmyLFruitcake85 Amy Elizabeth 🦖🇿🇦🥰xxx (@AmyLFruitcake85) reported

    @virginmedia Your website is now working and says there’s no issues but they’re clearly is. Same thing happened last week and the internet was off for over 6 hours

  • georges74761640 George Smith (@georges74761640) reported

    @virginmedia why is it always so difficult to get through to anyone... Trying so hard to cancel so I can escape the dreadful customer service

  • sniffpetrol Richard Porter (@sniffpetrol) reported

    @virginmedia I have called that number before. I have also spoken to people online and on WhatsApp. Nothing ever gets resolved. Your company's customer service is dreadful.

  • RoCo67 Roco (@RoCo67) reported

    @virginmedia Do I just cancel my direct debit until resolved

  • Sarpanch1971 KIRAN SINGH BIRK (@Sarpanch1971) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I know and I have emailed them numerous times. I had a manager call me from a call centre in India and he was too busy chatting about Bollywopd movies with his friend next to him. How unprofessional is that!!! Let alone when a customer is unhappy.
