  • dionne_angus Dionne Angus (@dionne_angus) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia just love paying for services which I'm not getting! Seriously sort it out or I will be going elsewhere. No tv, no internet your service is an absolute joke!

  • donnataylor7 Donna Webster (@donnataylor7) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I have resolved it now but I’m tired of having to fight to get a good service. I had to threaten to report it to Watchdog before getting through to someone who could help.

  • mattrobertsCFC Matt Roberts (@mattrobertsCFC) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Thanks @virginmedia Definitely not broadband on, @amazonprimesport need to sort out their network.

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Service outage AGAIN, this is now starting to become ridiculous... when will I start getting a reliable service!!!! This is not what I pay for @virginmedia

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Rochdale Cowboy (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @UxbridgeLord @marxistniklas @Jim27371416 @DansTweeterings @jeremycorbyn @virginmedia There'll be nothing stopping you from buying it in the future. Not sure what your issue is with a policy that gives other people something you don't want, and which doesn't cost you anything.

  • donnataylor7 Donna Webster (@donnataylor7) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I didn’t receive my new contract on April, was not told of 6 month discount price shot up and I had to fight to get my billing date changed. Overall not a good service 😡. Took me over 30 mins on telephone to try and resolve

  • Noice113 Noice1 (@Noice113) reported from Finchampstead, England

    @virginmedia I am trying to cancel and on three occasions have asked for help my bills have gone up by 45% no explanation shame on you

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Really need to consider my options and look at other service providers - ongoing intermittent service for a week now and keep getting fobbed off by you CSA's - I think you may want to consider reviewing your customer services. #badcustomerservice #virginmedia

  • roballan07 Rob Allan (@roballan07) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Yes when talking about the quality of customer service I have received from @virginmedia in the past week.

  • danarnie Danny Daly-Arnett (@danarnie) reported from Bracknell, England

    @laaqpr @virginmedia The new one is. “It’s all gone through” Then never receive an email and still paid what you are paying with the “system” saying I never called

  • tw1tterlawsey Martin law (@tw1tterlawsey) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia , have been a customer for many years, my recent experience of your customer service was appalling and no empathy shown or value for my custom. I said your service makes want to leave, I was told that’s my choice, so leaving

  • tw1tterlawsey Martin law (@tw1tterlawsey) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Was not anticipating having to leave when i called in, was unhappy you increased my monthly charge and had not been advised. Was told you could do this and there was nothing you could do to rectify the overcharge. Been a loyal customer for 8 years and got treated this way

  • debi_feltimo Debi Brown (@debi_feltimo) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Cannot access my account online, forgotten my security question so cannot call, it’s my elderly dads account I set up for him. He moved today,none of your staff will help me as I don’t have the answer. He has now moved, has no contact to outside world, please help!

  • kyle2tweet kyle2tweet (@kyle2tweet) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia looks like I’ll have to cancel my direct debit coming out next month maybe that will get this call back I’ve been promised. Terrible terrible company!

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Proposed resolution time is 16h00 - so service has been out since 10h30 and I work from home...

  • danarnie Danny Daly-Arnett (@danarnie) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I ring and get hung up on after being on hold for 6 minutes. I just want what I was offered on Friday. I am not very happy with the customer service I am receiving at the moment and will just walk away. I have been a customer for 10 years and get no perks just bigger bills

  • debi_feltimo Debi Brown (@debi_feltimo) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Transfer, he moved today so is really panicking that he cannot contact anyone. I can’t even check if the service will be available in his new home

  • flyingjok John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @dgrutsch @virginmedia @SkyMediaUK @virginmedia has lost direction and customer focus IMO. After trying to tell me there was no fault in my area, before agreeing for an engineer to visit and check system (multiple faults) it proposed sending a pack of cables for me to try and fix myself. Err I don’t think so!

  • CorneliusEvans Chris Evans (@CorneliusEvans) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Netflix is not working with our broadband service you might want to looking in to this as all other streaming service work fine. P.s I’m VM service tech 😉

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Not impressed, area service is restored but my service is still down. Engineer booked for Tuesday - do you really call this service!!!! I seem to have ongoing issues with Virgin Media - seriously considering changing my provider.

  • JustAnotherAmba QueenOfTheTrashcan👸🏻 (@JustAnotherAmba) reported

    @virginmedia are honestly the worst company I’ve ever been with. Does anyone know of any good broadband deals??

  • NOVAIVLOUISE Nova Louise :) (@NOVAIVLOUISE) reported

    @virginmedia They aren’t any help? Can someone who can help call me? This is absolutely disgusting that I’ve had to spend 4 hours of my time trying to get your huge mess up sorted and no one is helping

  • sharpeangle Graham Sharpe (@sharpeangle) reported

    @virginmedia Still waiting for phone call PROMISED last night as a result of IT ticket being raised. 'Expect our support team to contact you within next 24 hours.' This was at around 7pm last night, so only 6 hours left for it to happen.

  • Tinka197630 Michelle Ann Heywood (@Tinka197630) reported

    @virginmedia after a two hour wait on your phone lines and terrible unhelpful customer service. I can’t wait to part ways come March when my contracts ends after 20 years.

  • oliviafayeh 𝒪𝓁𝒾𝓋𝒾𝒶 𝐻𝓊𝓁𝓁𝑒𝓎 (@oliviafayeh) reported

    @VirginMediaNews oh dear, I still have no service from @virginmedia and I cannot get hold of them. Two one hour holding on to the phone service to be cut off! Awful service

  • TheRichHomieRob TheRichHomieRob (@TheRichHomieRob) reported

    @virginmedia So there’s still no way of me receiving updates for this issue, understanding what’s caused this, or even why I’m expected to put up with speeds a thousandth of what we’re expected to get? I just have to sit here and wait and hope someone gets round to fixing it?

  • Ray_Stubbs Kevin Johns (@Ray_Stubbs) reported from Woodlesford, England

    @virginmedia I raised my complaint months ago and have been calling constantly since and sent the latest one yesterday

  • TheRichHomieRob TheRichHomieRob (@TheRichHomieRob) reported

    @virginmedia Great, a chat bot that’s put me through to the same team I originally spoke to who said they couldn’t help or provide meaningful updates outside of the same service status page. Where can I go to receive a reasonable response please?

  • Davie_D10_CV Urban Rooster (@Davie_D10_CV) reported

    @virginmedia Looking to speak to someone about leaving but I am unable to get beyond the automated service as it's asking for a password that was set up 9 years ago and I have never used, any help would be appreciated.

  • JoelFMRodrigues Joel Rodrigues (@JoelFMRodrigues) reported

    @WorTony @virginmedia @sebmatthews If you are still using the router provided by Virgin, swapping to a better one may do the trick. Was going for a more complex solution, until I tried a new router and realized that it solved all my issues. Even discarded the plans of updating contracted speed.
