    Ridiculous, poor service @virginmedia

  • 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

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

  • 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😊😊😊😊

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • martinrowan Martin Rowan (@martinrowan) reported from Wokingham, England

    @dowenb @highlight If you’re using Virgin Media cable then this isn’t the same technology as the rate adaptive technology used in ADSL and VDSL, so you don’t have a sync speed to monitor. One issue you can have with Cable can be an increase in latency especially under load.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • mister_tee Alex Thomson (@mister_tee) reported

    @virginmedia "There's nothing to see here" It looks like my complaint wasn't registered

  • techbitsio techbits (@techbitsio) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. I'd still appreciate a DM for @Ofcom compensation backdating though. The engineer who attended 13 days ago said the service was unusable, and all reps have agreed it's not good enough.

  • Karenks1063 Karen ks (@Karenks1063) reported

    Virgin Media customer service. We need help with our service and bill, but have been locked out our account and cant reset. Any time we call the 0345 number it says to refer online and hangs up. Acant get online hence trying to phone 😡

  • damfly27 Damon (@damfly27) reported

    @virginmedia I’m a new customer. You have not installed my line. I have never connected to the internet via virgin media. I am NOT paying for you to cancel a contract you have not honoured. That’s madnes, John. The team on the end of the phone hung up on me, THREE TIMES, like i already stated

  • LynsP01 LynzP (@LynsP01) reported

    @virginmedia Hey John, on WhatsApp and your fella is trying to make me move my o2 number over when I don’t want to. So, he’s thrown me over to your customer relations team as he wants me on all. I’ll be bringing up a complaint at this rate. I’ve been with you 18 yrs +. Your cs are a disgrace

  • JohnBroadley1 John Broadley (@JohnBroadley1) reported

    @virginmedia The complaint relates to the ongoing issues surrounding Red Button coverage of EFL matches which are either very late to be added to the coverage or consistently with the wrong match commentary. Can this be looked at please?

  • Rina_M2020 Rina M (@Rina_M2020) reported

    @virginmedia I want to know if a service has been cancelled

  • jon_Oncecontent Jon (@jon_Oncecontent) reported

    @virginmedia Was stuck on hold so got bored and messaged - can you message me so we can work out a plan - furious customer being let down and my partner can’t work from home at the moment to do her work - so has a 2 hour commute a day

  • jon_Oncecontent Jon (@jon_Oncecontent) reported

    @virginmedia Guess what virgin - not turned up again - your departments do not communicate - can someone get onto me please to fix this
