    @richardbranson your virgin media service is shocking! I thought your ethos behind running your companies was a lot better than the top providers but I was wrong, your worse! #leaving

  • LAURABELLE72 Laura Elliott (@LAURABELLE72) reported from Thundersley, England

    Have some sense @virginmedia if your mobile phone systems are having issues why wait until the caller has been on hold for over 15 minutes to play the recorded message that says there's nothing you can do about it #********* #CustomerService

  • marcsnappy Marc Corn (@marcsnappy) reported from Basildon, England

    @Shadow_Official @virginmedia This issue I found happened more on wifi, I had to put in a secondary switch and run everything via Ethernet.

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia This has been ongoing for over a month now. Pixelated on BBC2, E4, Channel 5 etc. I’m entirely feed up with this awful service and this month my bill has increased again.

  • mackenziedarcy Michael harrison (@mackenziedarcy) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia 4o mins into watching #AStarIsBorn and there's a problem with my mates connection on her media box... Sort this 🤬 out.... grumpy is an understatement.) Lucky there's wine or you could have 3 pissed off ladies calling you waiting to be next for the next hour!!!

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Another week has passed, still no contact from your unbelievably awful resolution team!

  • NormanStiff Namron #FBPE (@NormanStiff) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia HI, your on-demand service is not really on- demand, I tried to watch Sundays Line of Duty today it is not on demand unless I pay another service, why is this.

  • Steve_Butler SB78 (@Steve_Butler) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia Just called customer services asking for some cable so I can move a TiVo box - completely unhelpful & didn't understand what I wanted Just kept telling me £99 for an engineer

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia I’ve going through this process since 20th March! I’m unable to talk on the phone easily due to a brain injury. I’m still waiting for a response from the resolution team!!

  • njfishingtackle NJ Fishing Tackle (@njfishingtackle) reported from Gravesend, England

    Virgin Media, avoid at all costs, they no longer work for the customers benefit only their own, bad company 😠😠😠😠😠

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia No advice, no contact = appalling service. This is the problem!

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

  • sharonblaxland Sharon (@sharonblaxland) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia why oh why do you keep sending me paper bills AND charging me for them, I have never asked for a paper bill and have phone to cancel them twice 😡🤬 and this morning what do I get 😡😡😡

  • nickihendrix4 nickihendrix (@nickihendrix4) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia what the actual **** is wrong with you people if it was phone bill you guys would have deducted all long time ago but y’all don’t want me to make calls and y’all decided not to warn us either. I swear to God I’m not paying my bill this month periodt

  • 1CreativeRay Ray Stower (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia No communication from you & no updates.This was one of the worst possible times of year for sports fans for this to happen. This is happening regularly since KIER group took over. I’ve had to make nothing but complaints the last 12 months. Appalling standards/service

  • MalcolmLouth Mac (@MalcolmLouth) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia My approach is simply to contact my service provider who I pay a lot of money to and ask them to sort it. That hasn’t worked.

  • DouglasEmma07 Emma douglas (@DouglasEmma07) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia poor customer service - simple problem to solve (COM103207174 complaint ref number)

Be free!
