    @lastdart @virginmedia I am with you on this one. They may have me over a barrel right now but when this is all over and normal service is resolved they can say farewell to this customer. If this is the way they treat loyal customer then #SirRichardBranson is in for a big expensive shock.

    In case it affects you looks like virgin media are currently having problems.

  • GariClark Gari Clark (@GariClark) reported from Reading, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I'm trying to pay a bill through your app, but every time I try to pay, it keeps saying ”session has timed out” and has done for the last couple of days. Before this, I've never had an issue with it but it's not happening this time. Please advise. Thanks.

    @virginmedia I’m still waiting for someone to reply to me about my bill. I get cut off when I try to phone, the online complaint form receives an error on every submission, there is no chat functionality available and I can’t get a reply in social media. Please advise ASAP. Thank you.

  • cobysaur Ryan Byford (@cobysaur) reported from Wokingham, England

    I wonder if @virginmedia and @vodafoneuk use the same backbone or something. Both services are down or extremely slow since 17:00

    Honestly is any company as bad for customer service than @virginmedia? Dreadful.

  • GaryDWatkins Gary Watkins 🇬🇧🇬🇧#BritishIndependence 🤐🇬🇧 (@GaryDWatkins) reported

    @virginmedia My complaint was closed without contact from VM just a mail saying closed have complained to CISAS yesterday then today got mail closing it again each time I ring they open a new one 3 now and all done the same at the point of stopping payments and going elsewhere

  • NSeraphim_ N Seraphim (@NSeraphim_) reported

    Quality of @virginmedia service for the past week has actually been shambolic. Shared view across my entire building.

  • tonbriel iBriel (@tonbriel) reported

    Virgin media is a proper joke. When I asked to cancel my contract on the grounds of unsatisfactory product, guess what, they’re asking for termination fee of £240. I was transferred to 5 different reps who could not fathom any solution to the problem. That’s how bad virgin is.

  • x7Macca Macca (@x7Macca) reported

    @virginmedia my net gear just doesn’t work anymore apparently tried everything have your new seat box and pay stupid amounts of money for wifi that doesn’t work?

  • Rickstar1987 Ricky Janes (@Rickstar1987) reported

    @virginmedia what absolute rubbish service you provide for a premium price..... you should be ashamed of your business model!

  • VickieHawkins1 Vickie Hawkins (@VickieHawkins1) reported

    @virginmedia complaint made in February (following previous ignored complaint months prior) no ref no. given. Voicemail today to rudely tell me if I didn’t call back to discuss complaint you would close it. How do I call back?? No account number as we left..no tel no. given???

  • sirbiro Biro (@sirbiro) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I did.. No real help just told me is a outage in my area and they're on it. Been without internet since last evening at 7:30pm it came back and hour ago and now outage again. I've had this happen several times since I started the contract. Not happy one bit with the service

  • trading_geek Trading Geek (@trading_geek) reported

    @virginmedia thanks once again for having the worst ability to deal with customer service issues.

  • tonbriel iBriel (@tonbriel) reported

    Virgin media is a joke. I signed up for broadband services on 2nd Feb 2021, from the day of installation, the services has been bad. I’ve called to report the fault and they’re asking me to signup to another device to support the broadband for £5+ monthly.
