    @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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 🙈

  • 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

    @SpursKS @virginmedia What's the issue

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

    I'm having real trouble cancelling my Virgin media account. Cant6v chat them, can't email them now on hold for 10 minutes. Just want to end the contract give 30 days notice. New promotion only for new customers. Wtf?

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

  • KeeleyOF101 Keeley O'Flaherty (@KeeleyOF101) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia you came to my mums house to fix cable. You’ve left having disconnected her phone line and sent it to a neighbour house who is now being rude. Been on hold hour on phone. Both in poor health phone Essential

  • 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 ****

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

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

  • 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

  • MLong94 Mark.. (@MLong94) reported from Grays, England

    Imagine my shock. Virgin media telly and internet down, AGAIN. **** *****

  • Dearnormajeane lindsay wood (@Dearnormajeane) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @kelseybytheway @virginmedia Second this so ******* hard. Diagnostics dont do **** when the issue is with the hardware itself

  • 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.

  • 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......

  • WeHateHills WeHateHills (@WeHateHills) reported from South Woodham Ferrers, England

    @ClassicSoulDJ @virginmedia Get @BTGroup much more reliable - have read so many stories about #Virgin having problems

  • 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.

  • scottyjnufc Scott Johnson (@scottyjnufc) reported

    @virginmedia Signed up for a new account £28 pm to go live on Tuesday, Virgin did not activate it until Thursday! Then today got told our new bill would be £52 pm.... over one hour 30 minutes on the phone to then be cut off by Sales team! Still not resolved. Appalling service

  • TiaBrow60806537 Tia Brown (@TiaBrow60806537) reported

    @virginmedia I called back yesterday to be told the call back had been cancelled your end and a remote fix was underway

  • yangzyylhr Yu Hsuan Yang (@yangzyylhr) reported

    @schuler_lutz Complaint of the never arriving return parcel. Requested multiple times online and now I am receiving your threatening email of changing me 40£ for not returning the hub. Is this how virgin media making money?

  • Sophiae007 Sophia Mackie Ellis (@Sophiae007) reported

    @virginmedia You know it would have been nice to maybe try & help, rather than the bog standard reply. How do you know that's the earliest slot? They were first told today. Then when no one came, they called back, told nothing was booked. Now it's Wed. So clearly being messed about.

  • sarfascodes Oliver Sarfas (@sarfascodes) reported

    @virginmedia This number is the team that aren't talking to me like a human. Just more outsourced call centres ignoring interaction and only reading scripts. No help.

  • jimothyharrison Jimothy (He/Him) (@jimothyharrison) reported

    @magemasher22 @virginmedia Ugh Virgin, that brings me back to when I had it in 2012, it was bloody awful!

  • AzaBrown14 Ay-Ayron 🇹🇭🦊 (@AzaBrown14) reported

    @virginmedia And I know you’re gonna tell me to do **** to the box etc etc. But I do that every single time and no improvement, so I’m not wasting my time in doing that again

  • rjropes Richard Woffinden (@rjropes) reported

    @virginmedia, appalling service from the service desk today, unlike normal. Strange error on my v6, can't watch catch up or on demand etc for a week now. Called Wednesday for diagnostics. Called today as its still not fixed, just told to call again I'm another 48 hours. Appalling

  • Jolspeed LittleBigJolAndwot® (@Jolspeed) reported

    Fully sick of @virginmedia the worst internet provider I’ve ever had. Works at 3mb/s for 15 minutes, then goes off! Every day for 3 months

  • JanineB66963873 Janine Brennan (@JanineB66963873) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you, having an outage on top of a faulty line/equipment is extremely frustrating and wasting money
