  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia hi I’ve received a written response to a complaint from VM but with no way to reply other than the usual customer service number which doesn’t offer an option for this. Can you supply another telephone number or physical address to reply to?

  • rob_green86 Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England

    @westbrookdanni @virginmedia Up to 2 weeks ago I didn't have a bad word to say about them. The pure fact you can't get through to someone is the worst of it. Happy to take your money and trim your internet speeds!

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia I have continually tried to call, your wait times are really unacceptable, anyway I have also opted for the text service, however no text received. I am losing faith I’ve been waiting since August for some kind of contact from you. Any other options?

  • rob_green86 Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England

    Anyone else really struggling with slow speeds over the last 10 days with @virginmedia. It's been spot on for 2 years now and then 10 days it seems something has happened. Lucky to get over 10Mb now 🙈

  • jamesrfyoung James Young (@jamesrfyoung) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia your internet has been rubbish recently with varying speeds as low as 5mb 1 minute then 95mb the next! Now it’s gone down completely! On top of not being able to speak with anyone I don’t feel that your service is worth it! #rubbishservice

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Thank you I am going to try again via sales as managed to get through last night but was informed I need to speak to construction and they were closed. Complaint ref was/is C-030920566 Thanks for helping Mark

  • Kimlovett Kim Baker was Lovett (@Kimlovett) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia what’s happened to your customer services? I have stayed with you for years now need your help, can’t log into my account need your help and holding forever on the phone ....

  • moebius1967 ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @bushontheradio Trying to get through to Virgin media to cancel the contract. Bloody chatbot isn't worth a ****

  • keldaaa Kelda🥤 (@keldaaa) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia I can’t seem to find an email address or postal address for general queries, can you please provide me with one? My nan is now in a care home with dementia and we need to cancel her landline, broadband & mobile on her behalf so need to write to you to give details.

  • hungoverdrawn Robert Shaw (@hungoverdrawn) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia It's started working this morning after 24 hours down, bit strange that your website said there were no service issues anywhere 😒 I guess I'll cancel that engineer visit now.

  • JamieMeecham Jamie Meecham🏳️‍🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia care to explain why a member of staff felt that hanging up on a customer complaining about their broadband is acceptable? And now I’m stuck on hold AGAIN to solve my issue.

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Ok so I need to arrange another visit I won’t be contacted? Can you see how bad this looks? Now I’ll be in London I need to arrange someone to be there to let an engineer in unless there is a smaller window

  • JamieMeecham Jamie Meecham🏳️‍🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia Hopefully the confirmation of the rude man losing his job.

  • GrandmasterAce1 kali ace (@GrandmasterAce1) reported from Grays, England

    Virgin media users any issues 😣?

  • moebius1967 ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Had a real problem with Virgin media. Was paying this month's bill when Virgin had a problem as with its auto payment service and the payment couldn't be processed. I then tried again via their website and the payment went through......

    @virginmedia guys what is going on with the WiFi in DL1 it’s been shocking for weeks I pay champagne prices for the top package but get Coca Cola performance from you. Impossible to speak to anyone in your call centre terrible service

  • aaronclarke24 🎄⛄️AaronClarke☆⛄️🎄 (@aaronclarke24) reported

    @virginmedia Virgins customer service is a joke, any better internet providers out there?

  • badassscotsman ochaye😜 (@badassscotsman) reported

    @Jonatha50508529 @virginmedia Definitely mate more poor excuses.

  • Low_EHP Low EHP 🇳🇱 (@Low_EHP) reported

    @Phaero_ Had a look in the logs of your modem and notice an obnoxious amount of porn being downloaded. We all know that Pornhub removed all the non verified content of their website but this is A LOT. Hope this helps. - Virgin Media Support

  • rob_shepp Robert Sheppard (@rob_shepp) reported

    @virginmedia Yes we checked last night and there were no issues. It’s a constant problem. Last night we tried catch up and it happened 4 times during one programme so we gave up. We’ve done everything this end. I was on hold for 35mins and gave up on that. There must be something you can do.

  • Ashy124 Ash (@Ashy124) reported

    @virginmedia can some call me from the complaints team - ongoing issue for 6 months phoning ever day- need someone from the uk

  • Al74lan baloowho54🇬🇧➡️55 (@Al74lan) reported

    @virginmedia I asked to kept informed if you were able to get an engineer out sooner... If not, I intended to cancel my account.... No call back. It's only the second time in three days... That's not including the person that hung up the phone on me when politely asked to speak to a manager.

  • rob_shepp Robert Sheppard (@rob_shepp) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried that - sent a text on Dec 5 and have had nothing back. This is not a local issue, it happens to us every time we watch something on catch up. I don’t know who else to contact or how to get through o some help as we’ve tried everything but this isn’t good enough.

  • Darlo_Robbo David 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 (@Darlo_Robbo) reported

    @coledogg @virginmedia Mines fine at the moment. Rarely have any issues with them other than the ridiculous prices lol
