  • tolu_____ Tolu (@tolu_____) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

  • suzywotz ꧁༒☬𝓢𝓾𝔃𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓽𝔃☬༒꧂ 🌷🐼🎪⭐️👸🏽 (@suzywotz) reported from Gravesend, England

  • owensirons93 Andrew Owen (@owensirons93) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia any reason why you still haven’t fixed our phone lines? Been down for 3 months now so I’ll be expecting a reimbursement. Also expect a reimbursement due to the fact your failing to supply the minimum download speed

  • rbays11 rbays@hotmail.co.uk (@rbays11) reported

    @virginmedia I have been on hold though these numbers for hours now and have already wasted enough time speaking to your team. At this point I would like you to take this seriously and would like to speak to someone who can actually help me!

  • thesh8pe Frank Smith (@thesh8pe) reported

    @virginmedia for days now I've been trying to speak to someone from your retentions dept. Your WhatsApp service is a joke, no one ever gets back to you and I can't get through on the phone because I'm hours in queue to get through.

  • BenjisGas Ben Sambridge (@BenjisGas) reported

    @virginmedia what a waste of space this company is renewed my grand parents package cut them off sky and said that want part of the deal aint replied to my complaint been on the phone 30mins get though and they cut me off!!!

  • GoodluckGrunge grunge_goodluck (@GoodluckGrunge) reported

    @Smizz_x @virginmedia We moved away the second the gave us an out when they raised their prices. We are now enjoying problem free TV and internet with another provider

  • timborichens Timbo (@timborichens) reported

    @virginmedia @Ofcom yes but will you write or email all your customers in BA11 who are continually affected to explain what is going on with your service and how you will be remedying things? Surely you have a duty where faults continue repeatedly over the long period?

  • whereswoolly Jen F (@whereswoolly) reported

    Really disappointed. Been a customer for over 20 years and can’t get any decent pricing to reduce to broadband only or reduce channels. Our tv boxes are years out of date and not updated. Phone line didn’t work for several of the years @virginmedia #noloyaltytocustomers

  • jono_vix @jono_vix (@jono_vix) reported

    @virginmedia broadband is down but service checker states no known issues in area. I’ve completed account diagnostics, reboot hub & checked cables. Hub still showing solid red light after working fine until 30mins ago. Please assist!!

  • BlueScareBot Duncan (@BlueScareBot) reported from Ayrshire, Scotland

    @virginmedia could I have a link please to cancel my service in writing?

  • Satansmum87 Sarah (@Satansmum87) reported

    @virginmedia are a joke been online chatting for over 2 days all I want to do is cancel my TV & landline package and get a good deal on my broadband, why do they make it so difficult, I don't have time to spend all day on phone to them, online supposedly is quicker & easier 🙄

  • thesh8pe Frank Smith (@thesh8pe) reported

    @mrgreybeard2014 @virginmedia Because that advisor doesn't want to take a hit on his/her target. Customer service is an absolute joke. Phone line busy, WhatsApp service never get back to you and website keeps saying "oops" error.
