  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • WUFC2005 Football 4 All (@WUFC2005) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia nothing but issues. 2G & 5G always stops working. Updates happens when ever it feels like. And every time I contact Virgin, it's like talking to a 6 year old.

  • karl_holden Karl Holden (@karl_holden) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia the service is deteriorating. Time to review your performance and reveal the source of your problems before your customer base starts to become even more disenchanted.

  • claire_m_willia Claire Williams (@claire_m_willia) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is an absolute joke won't ever be using you again . Worst customer service ever !!!!!!!!!

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

    Hey @virginmedia you better offer me a better deal tomorrow or else I will be leaving. New customers are always treated better than existing. I know from experience with you guys that this never changes.

  • 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

  • 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!!

  • engineer59a Richard S (@engineer59a) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia WHAT AN AWFUL SERVICE YOU ARE PROVIDING! Internet down over 1 hour, your automated service hangs up when saying it’s going to test my line and when I ring and go to ‘ want to leAve’ that’s a 10 min+ hang on phone Sort yourselves out Virgin Media😡

  • 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 😡😡😡

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

    @virginmedia has gone down, no internet and only a few obscure tv channels.... that I’m watching, so I can keep watching telly 😳

  • LawroGardiner Lawrence Gardiner ➡️ (@LawroGardiner) reported from Basildon, England

    @Dianemiddleto @tankhead666 @virginmedia Thanks. I got the text hours after talking to Virgin Media on the phone to activate my hub after a house move. Never had it before. Something not right in their call centres.

  • engineer59a Richard S (@engineer59a) reported from Corringham, England

    Virgin media - your automated service has a flaw, it just repeats the same message, ‘ no faults found’, when there is a fault, like my internet is giving 2Mb download right now

  • KudaLudaLegend1 Kuda Madzikanda (@KudaLudaLegend1) reported from Gravesend, England

  • 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.

  • sparkijones simon parkinson-jone (@sparkijones) reported

    @virginmedia The connection seems better now - no issues recorded on the service page. Account-wise it records “Sorry, we didn’t recognise those details”; my details are correct.

  • H_L_Cox Hannah Cox (@H_L_Cox) reported

    @thatgaypatrick @virginmedia Consistently hanging up on customers at the moment, look through the tweets and you will see a theme. The customer service is beyond abysmal!

  • simonponeil Simon O'Neil (@simonponeil) reported

    @virginmedia Nowt heard, I suspect your usual service is continuing…. Not even a reply to the email. 😤😳

  • KIRSTL kirsty (@KIRSTL) reported

    @virginmedia can you acknowledge Jamie in your customer help team, I rang up with a broadband issue and not only did he help me to understand, he found me a package that I save money on, I can only thank him enough in this rise of cost living crisis.

  • Al49870764 Al (@Al49870764) reported

    @virginmedia Your humans are you not? You have demonstrated ability to reply on here already so we are talking nonsense aren't we. Given the allegation is a ongoing harassment complaint and you clearly are more then willing to make amends, which you are wanting to deal with ...

  • don_barrow Don Barrow (@don_barrow) reported

    @virginmedia Over an hour I've been waitingnow it's being a joke. No response since 11.49 this also isn't the first time I have tied to cancel.
