  • sarahgtaylor sarahgtaylor (@sarahgtaylor) reported from Hurley, England

    Virgin mobile customer service is laughable. Can only use online chat if you want to buy something. #virgin #virginmedia #customerserviceorcustomercontol

  • JoshGilpin Josh Gilpin (@JoshGilpin) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Your advisor would only provide the tracking number that I was already given the other day and told me to use that to find out what’s up with it, they were about as much help as yodels customer support

  • mecompton74 Martin Compton (@mecompton74) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Can not wait until June 10th and we get to ditch @virginmedia - another issue with our service, but their service status page on their website is down so I have no idea what the problem is... #pitiful

  • i96jms Jane (@i96jms) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia We are going around in circles. Your team just go through the same script each time we call. Please arrange escalation to a manager to investigate why your support team cannot resolve issues due to flawed process.

  • mikeyh817 Mike (@mikeyh817) reported from Woodley, England

    Can I just say again @virginmedia is absolute shite. Had no internet for nearly an hour but “their system is down” so they can’t check it. Piss poor from this company

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria @AaronGaben Virgin says no issues in my area but all I am getting is flashing green arrows and no connectivity... full reset and switched off 3 tokes but to no avail.

  • OutdoorDaveGB David Bruton (@OutdoorDaveGB) reported from Reading, England

    @AnnaCorderoy @virginmedia In my case it took about 2 months to get a reliable service restored.

  • chrisscoff Chris Scoffield (@chrisscoff) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia service is appalling. Engineer arranged last Friday for today. Didn’t turn up. Now told it had been cancelled and we were informed. Lies Lies Lies. Broadband is almost unusabale. Can’t wait for contract to end so we can get sky.

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @Virgin_Victoria @virginmedia Thank you. Virgin Boffin says no issues in area. I have carried out 3 x fully resets and all I am getting is flashing areos and horizontal lines.

  • aamer74 aamer habib (@aamer74) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi which is supposed to be the fastest speed is down every day now since four days and comes on in the morning the next day this is unacceptable service

  • EJVMcLean Ed Vokes-Mclean (@EJVMcLean) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia is on demand and catch up showing faults as mine is not working again been playing up for two weeks now Gu14 9 area

  • BRYCECHOBE Chobe Clarke (@BRYCECHOBE) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia no internet in Woking, always poor connection when I visit. 5g disappears, slow 2g. Now nothing. Father wasting money for this service.

  • i96jms Jane (@i96jms) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia When I phoned and used the chat they said the same thing. We have already called many times so would prefer you to discuss with your team and arrange a callback by someone who can help.

  • JulianHull Julian Hull (@JulianHull) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for replying TG, it’s back up now, however I do have a registered complaint about being charged £7.50 every month to upgraded to unlimited data on my broadband that has unlimited data.

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    Slightest hint of bad weather and here we go again. it's only slightly damp here but already working from home has failed before it's even started. Think its time to switch ISP as this is becoming all to frequent from @virginmedia.. 2 lost days of work/pay this mth already.

  • HappyH1983 Happyh1983 (@HappyH1983) reported from Reading, England

    When you ring @virginmedia to discuss your current package... 1st guy ruder than rude... Asked to talk to disconnections and get the best customer service. Turns out there was a deal to be made. Very happy now.

  • mecompton74 Martin Compton (@mecompton74) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia pathetic... entire service cancelled for six days without any notice... for repairs! 🤣 Awful company... @richardbranson you really need to be more careful about who gets to deliver franchised services under your Brand’s name. Truly awful... again!

  • debsw18 Deborah (@debsw18) reported from Hook, England

    @virginmedia customer service is beyond shocking. Reps don’t listen, lie and refuse to help. Icing on the cake is my graduate daughter having £123.34 taken from her account DESPITE being told this would NOT happen. Going round in circles. No one ever phones back.

  • pepetideo Pepetideo (@pepetideo) reported from Didcot, England

    After waiting for over 1 hour to talk to a human on @virginmedia, can't help but feel like I was being trolled by the choice of background songs. One says "I could get used to this", other about being down down down... Somehow I don't think this is the best choice of mood music.

  • Jimbwlah James Milward (@Jimbwlah) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I don’t understand how you can get away with 10%+ yearly bill increase with no service improvement. I’ve been with you for 15 years and enough is enough, I’m switching. No other company does this - I’m speaking to the communication ombudsman, it needs investigation

  • iamshaunhudson Shaun_Red5 (@iamshaunhudson) reported

    @virginmedia wifi down again. Useless piece of **** service.

  • BonneMillie ❄️❄️ SNOW MILLIE ❄️❄️ (@BonneMillie) reported

    @rachnodwell @virginmedia It’s worth signing them up to the TPS (Telephone Preference Service) if you haven’t already, as it will reduce calls. Sadly it won’t stop all scammers, since they are already breaking the law and don’t care so much about the TPS... P.S. you can sign your mobile number up too!

  • nickbwzr NickBwzr (@nickbwzr) reported

    @virginmedia and given that's what we were told a week ago I have no confidence this will be happening. how do I escalate the complaint or make sure I am actually going to receive the WiFi device? have been a virgin customer for years so this horrendous service is really surprising

  • nickbwzr NickBwzr (@nickbwzr) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely appalling service. we were told when the engineer didn't turn up we would be sent a mobile WiFi device to use in the meantime yet a week later apparently this still hasn't been done. and it will be another 2 days before your team can ask another team to send it

  • cityboy851 Consumer (@cityboy851) reported

    @virginmedia @millsy17 Can I get some help?

  • CaptFemShep Posa Luxemburg 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@CaptFemShep) reported

    @virginmedia No, I don’t. I want my numerous requests for my complaint to be escalated, to be acted upon or confirmation that your complaint process is exhausted so I can take it to the ICO. I have been asking this since December and you have it all in writing via email.

  • GuseensLV Gusts Golubevs (@GuseensLV) reported

    @virginmedia WTF im getting 1500ms totally pissed off in your services total garbage

  • Omen_66 mr baldy (@Omen_66) reported

    @Ashley_Parkes @virginmedia Have they offered you the wifi pods to help with wifi? As anyone on Gig1 gets them for free. £5 for other packages

  • WhoOrderedRice Natalie (@WhoOrderedRice) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @urbanonetwork @virginmedia Thank you, I’ve found a form via @virginmedia website finally requested a prepaid package to return items. Will cancel DD tomorrow. 🤬

  • affablecactus Ruth (@affablecactus) reported

    @virginmedia I am aware there is an issue because I have no service, but also our local village Facebook page full of posts from people with no service, why does your website say different and why not just tell me there’s a known issue when I phoned instead of telling me to wait for a call?
