  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • BeckyMorrish13 Becky Morrish (@BeckyMorrish13) reported from Camberley, England

    Urgh @virginmedia are naff completely incomatant staff giving completely the wrong information and now won’t let me cancel awful service I’m now looking to @skyuk to give me a better service

  • 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

  • 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.

  • MatthewPorter89 Matthew Porter (@MatthewPorter89) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Please contact @CameronHeald as he is the sufferer of this poor poor service.

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

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

  • 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.

  • MatthewPorter89 Matthew Porter (@MatthewPorter89) reported from Bracknell, England

    Ridiculous, poor service @virginmedia

  • 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

    @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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • pamelab74027553 pamela brown (@pamelab74027553) reported from Bracknell, England

    Yaaa final bill from Talk Talk is on its way I have wasted so much money and time with this rubbish company. I had no service from them now I am back with Virgin Media I was such a Clutx to of changed, as soon as that bill comes in and I pay I will be happy😊😊😊😊

  • Nicola_Johnston Nic Johnston 🇺🇦🌻 (@Nicola_Johnston) reported from Mitford, England

    @virginmedia come on. You just have a good idea from the outage earlier today how long this is going to take. I’m trying to WFH with Covid. @bt_uk how long does it take to switch providers?

  • Helenuk13 Helen_uk (@Helenuk13) reported

    @virginmedia And once AGAIN ANOTHER PRICE HIKE and NO SERVICE!! Customer Service is non existent as you can't spk to anyone other than overseas!! Total shambles!!

  • JMatty_ James (@JMatty_) reported

    @virginmedia Really bad service. Issues with 02 as well. Time to explore another service provider

  • garygilligan Gary Gilligan #FBPE #BLM #FBPA #FBPPR #GTTO #3.5% (@garygilligan) reported

    @gitoma1 @virginmedia @Ofcom I'm planning to be in a video call in 40 minutes and think I will need to cancel. Pathetic.

  • rhetgib rhetorical giblets (@rhetgib) reported

    @virginmedia @macavanagh I feel so special that I'm part of the 0.7% of Virginmedia customers to lose their service without any explanation being given. Especially after we've been informed that we can expect price hikes as standard from now on. Gives me that warm fuzzy feel'in.

  • BuckmasterJanet Janet.buckmaster@ntlworld.com (@BuckmasterJanet) reported

    @virginmedia what are you doing to compensate us? Many of us now have to work from home and need the broadband to be working. Stop dismissing the customer and treat ua with respect. I trust you are cancelling the price increases.

  • DontPanicShirts Don't Panic Shirts (@DontPanicShirts) reported

    @virginmedia is nothing but outrageous, and a total let down! Many people rely & depend, including I,on having an internet service,in order to carry out their many daily duties,jobs,online meetings, financial transactions, CCTV security amongst others. And all you say is sorry!

  • SarahJMalcolm Sarah Malcolm (@SarahJMalcolm) reported

    @virginmedia It's absolutely awful this week - looking forward to hearing how you are resolving and compensating for loss of service

  • HuddzR6 Huddz (@HuddzR6) reported

    @virginmedia Is the staff full of sloths? Because you’re working very slow it went down last night and been down again today for a few hours
