    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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia 3 days of warm weather and your network goes to pot!😔😡 3 rd day in a row no internet intermittently

  • 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!!

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

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

  • tommyewing84 Tom (@tommyewing84) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia our wifi drips out anything between 4 and 8 times a day. The app always says there are no issues. Getting pretty sick of it now. Looks like going back to @SkyUK is the only way.

  • 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

    @virginmedia 15 minutes wasted waiting on the phone till 9PM For the most awful internet service, 6 days now of truly awful service

  • DebzGlover Debz Glover😜 (@DebzGlover) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Hi, no service issues in my area according to your website

  • 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

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

    Seriously getting towards 24hr broadband outage..Can someone tell me if I can cancel my contract as technically @virginmedia have not met their contractual obligation🤔

  • 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 😡😡😡

  • 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😡

  • 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 !!!!!!!!!

  • 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

  • thebearofcamden Chris Cater (@thebearofcamden) reported

    @virginmedia @Claudine_Allen @virginmedia the Wi-Fi is still not working. Has the outage that was suppose to be back by 6pm been fixed?!

  • npjy83 Nathan Young (@npjy83) reported

    @virginmedia Called you guys and waited for one hour. The Customer Service Agent who then answered, literally was speaking to his colleagues and when I spoke, he hung up on me... Come on. Can you phone me? I literally cannot get through to someone in past 3 days.....

  • tonymess14 Tony Don #BLM♿#AFC 🇮🇹 🇨🇾♿️ Disabled Advocate♿ (@tonymess14) reported

    @virginmedia Two Hours on the phone to customer services is not fun ,and still no resolution

  • Chrisdavis1985 DAVA (@Chrisdavis1985) reported

    @virginmedia Pretty much shows me how bad the service is if thats many people are phoning up and you can keep up with the calls surely someone up the heirachy should be thinking hangon WTF is going on here how is it this bad customers should be waiting this long but obviously isnt happening !

  • Mr_MAHG M Harrison-Gauchwin (@Mr_MAHG) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing wrong with local network. It’s just the speed and connectivity are no where near what I’m paying for

  • Mark_Shiels Shielsy 🌿 📺 (@Mark_Shiels) reported

    @virginmedia Call times are always "busy". Times have not got any worse since covid, and all that comes with this worldwide issue, arrived. Pre-2020 times were just as poor and I feel that your customer services are just too difficult to get a hold of....

  • verrn71 MJ (@verrn71) reported

    @virginmedia Still experiencing issues and have been cut off from calls with CS twice. They said they would call my mobile but they have not. This is not acceptable!

  • mirandaholbr00k Miranda Holbrook (@mirandaholbr00k) reported

    @virginmedia I am trying to cancel my contract too! I waited on the phone for over an hour yesterday and then saw on website that calls might be charged and then I have been on WhatsApp and waiting for an agent to speak to me all day today. It is a complete joke!

  • Benwheeler_10 Ben wheeler (@Benwheeler_10) reported

  • kevsalo63 Kevin Salim (@kevsalo63) reported
