  • Dave_mona David Monaghan (@Dave_mona) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I was told that due to the error nothing could be done and I won’t be receiving my PS4 I now have to disappoint my two young boys when they get in from school. Not a great service I must admit.

  • WellMax81 Anthony Maxwell (@WellMax81) reported from Sale, England

    All ready to start streaming and virgin media once again decides to take a day off. Jesus Christ man. I pay £58 a month just for broadband. I’m seriously considering dropping this piece of shit company and going to sky.

  • aish_a_ aisha (@aish_a_) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I’m also sick of calling this number being told to press 1 then 2, when I get past 1 it asks for the account number no option to speak to a real person can I just get the phone number to speak to a real person who will help me

  • dancross88 Dan Cross (@dancross88) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Hi. My contract start date was the 26.04.19. I received my contract and link to T&C’s on 27.04.19. Cancelling the charges isn’t a resolution when I am not required to pay them. I shouldn’t have been threatened with them in the first place....if I had not quoted your own T&C’s

  • withloveanax Ana Stewart (@withloveanax) reported from Sale, England

    Imagine @virginmedia fitting your WiFi and the engineer hits a gas pipe. Then @BritishGas arrives to fix the gas pipe and hits a water pipe. Imagine having to chase VM to speak to a supervisor and still 4 days later no call back! Shocking!

  • Dave_mona David Monaghan (@Dave_mona) reported from Walkden, England

    So after being told by the customer service guy at @virginmedia I would receive a free PS4 I have had to make a complaint only find out I was put on the incorrect contract that didn’t include a PS4. 😡@richardbranson i should of stayed with @SkyUK

  • tiny_mischief Shaunna (@tiny_mischief) reported from Risley, England

    @virginmedia Nothing so far but our WiFi went down not so long ago, you upgrade us. Our box never turned up then there was a problem in the area (forever reoccurring) which wouldn’t be fixed for several days. Not good when you run a business from home

  • GeoffParkinson6 Geoff Parkinson (@GeoffParkinson6) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @davetherave103 @JusticeCraig @virginmedia It’s bad customer relations that’s seeing customer leave for Sky to many outrages on virgin

  • Gallerixia Rixie | MamaDemonDoggo (@Gallerixia) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia do you know when service will be back up. I have to make important phone calls before 5pm when lines are closed for the evening. I'm also an emergency contact for two children and an elderly relative who is also affected.

  • tiny_mischief Shaunna (@tiny_mischief) reported from Risley, England

    @FreelanceFee @virginmedia Oh don’t get me started on them. Relentless issues. But I’ve learnt if you kick up enough fuss on social media they’ll do anything to shut up you

  • Dave_mona David Monaghan (@Dave_mona) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I raised a complaint and the response was due to the package I was put on the PS4 wasn’t available. I just can’t understand how it’s now my fault I specified I wanted the PS4 it was the main reason for signing up.

  • CllrMichaelHaw Councillor Michael Haw (@CllrMichaelHaw) reported from Eccleston, England

    @stevehhh Virgin media is accessible, the problem has been reliability. A number of residents on those roads listed have had severe issues with the service & from experience BT Broadband is the more reliable. For example, in Eccleston Park residents now have access to Virgin & BT... [cont]

  • Manchester_Tart Manchester Tart (@Manchester_Tart) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia get off the internet, I want to use the house phone! #virgin #down

  • withloveanax Ana Stewart (@withloveanax) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia A complaint has been logged but I still have not received a call from a supervisor. I have not been assured what compensation we will be given due to this chaotic mess!!!

  • dancross88 Dan Cross (@dancross88) reported from Haydock, England

    Absolutely disgusted with the poor customer service and attitude of ‘Stefan’ from @virginmedia - rude, unhelpful and decided to end the call by hanging up instead of following my request to speak to a manager.

  • GemlouHughes Gemmalouise Hughes (@GemlouHughes) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia wow I’m Disappointed with your services last wk there was an outage so u gave 5g for every1 to use didn’t know you was gonna take it away on the Monday I think that’s disgusting I have five lines with you plus home! Something better needs 2 b done not all use net

  • CllrMichaelHaw Councillor Michael Haw (@CllrMichaelHaw) reported from Eccleston, England

    @stevehhh so if there are issues with Virgin Media they can easily switch to BT. If BT High Speed Fibre Optic broadband can be secured sooner, rather than later, those residents who are experiencing issues with Virgin Media can switch/be able to access the High Speed Fibre Optic service.

  • 75jacko Buttery Keith (@75jacko) reported from Runcorn, England

    Superfast broadband you say @virginmedia but no connection for virtually the past 2 days in the WA7 area. Each time a time is set for fix estimate it changes by an hour or even more, last night extended from 11pm to 8am and now saying 10.05am. Not good enough!!!! #shambles

  • taliashan talia (@taliashan) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia is so so crap and has the audacity to be the most expensive

  • georgiacruse_ GEORGIA CRUSE (@georgiacruse_) reported from Manchester, England

    No joke @virginmedia WiFi goes down about 3 times a week

  • PhilT81 Philip Thompson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🌍 (@PhilT81) reported

    Every single time I contact @virginmedia via their WhatsApp support portal they tell me they’re ‘busier than expected’ and then suggest that I transfer the enquiry over to WhatsApp. 1) If it’s every time, it’s not unexpected. 2) I’m already using WhatsApp.

  • Mikeo56977865 Mike O'Brien🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💙 #WalesCarersRegister (@Mikeo56977865) reported

    @Carer49 @virginmedia Didn't even need to speak with anyone. Just chose the option to change/cancel plan and automatically got offered the discount.

  • claire_macina Claire Macina (@claire_macina) reported

    @FundilyMundelly @virginmedia Leave while you can. Absolutely the worst customer service ever. I will never return go to @bt_uk they are much better and cheaper

  • RoomeByTheSea William Croome (@RoomeByTheSea) reported

    @virginmedia To sit on the phone for 3 hours + without any idea of I'm progressing in a queue. No thanks. VM can just compensate me for every day they are unable to support me through the communication channels they offer.

  • hogmaster2020 hog (@hogmaster2020) reported

    @virginmedia Your upgrades team who answer almost straight away also sales have the ability to cancel people's contract clearly mentioned But they still mostly refuse to cancel and send you through to cancellation who don't answer and cut people off More lies from virgin Explain that

  • ShakInayat Shak Inayat (@ShakInayat) reported

    On hold for 23 mins and still not through to @virginmedia and that is the ONLY way to downgrade a package it seems. Shocking service !

  • richard_gosler Richard Gosler (@richard_gosler) reported

    @OffMyNoodles @virginmedia Without a doubt, the worst customer service on the planet. The actual broadband is fine until you have a problem.

  • tantePip Corine Kuijpers (@tantePip) reported

    Trying to cancel @virginmedia, and the computer (!!) offered me a discount of exactly the same amount as the price increase. Nice try. Still cancelling. Same package is £30 a month cheaper elsewhere.

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported

    @virginmedia To be 100% clear, the hub 4 had power instantly. Lights pulsing. The issue is that it took so long to be ready to *use*. That doesn’t strike me as an issue with my power socket what so ever.

  • kurt_wh Kurt (@kurt_wh) reported

    Hey @virginmedia . My #broadband package is over priced with a woeful upload speed. I’ve decided to cancel. The only way to cancel is to write to you or phone you. I’ve waited on the phone for 1.5 hours and each time you answer you hang up. I’m very unhappy. #fail
