    @virginmedia morning, your text service seems to have stopped talking to me and we’ve spent another week with no service. Who can I speak to?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

    @SunveerC26 @_amansanger_ @virginmedia This is so rude, how do u guys have footage of me waiting for the internet to come back up 👀👀 booky

  • 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?

  • 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 ****

  • 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?

  • MidkentTravel MidKent Travel (@MidkentTravel) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia Can you please private message me, I have a log on issue.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 ....

  • 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.

  • andie_woods Andrea Woods-Murphy (@andie_woods) reported

    @virginmedia I have an issue with my bill, from August and need to speak with someone to resolve the problem. Can a callback be arranged please?

  • pa202011 pa2020 (@pa202011) reported

    @virginmedia Numerous complaints about PL9 service, but as there are no other providers yet, kind of locked in. But soon moving to 5g broadband instead with @EE

  • SiGarner1 Simon Garner (@SiGarner1) reported

    @MartinSLewis @itvMLshow with Virgin Media I got them down to £25 from £55 a month for broadband, TV and phone - just raised a complaint for constant slow speeds. Their system is rubbish, so even at that price I soon left and went to BT

  • 1Man1Mountain Shaun Hemmings (@1Man1Mountain) reported

    @virginmedia How do I raise an exec complaint?

  • rossyrox Ross (@rossyrox) reported

    @virginmedia Will you though? I've raised this many times on the phone in the last five years and nobody never knows who to speak to about it.

  • Ben16349164 Barnold (@Ben16349164) reported

    @virginmedia are there any reasons as to why my WIFI has been off for 24 hours in Manchester, M30? Your service status page says all is good but my router begs to differ.

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported

    @MartinSLewis @itvMLshow @virginmedia Our contract was due to expire. Just call them, tell them you want to cancel the contract when the end date comes and don't accept any offer until you are happy. They called back and have offered Ultimate Oomph to us for £79. We pay less for more than before.

  • blakealce Blake Alce (@blakealce) reported

    @virginmedia @andriagV Same issue here. Ended up getting rid of the tv package and just kept the fast fibre broadband at £46 per month. Such a poor offering for existing loyal customers. 👎🏻

  • leessii Lisa 💙 (@leessii) reported

    .@virginmedia I have recently upgraded to 360 the audio sync is atrocious making many programmes unwatchable. Sound also disappears and box & TV have to be reset. There are over 12 pages of people experiencing the same issue on the virgin forum, (thread)

  • krulesurfer nightskin ☭ (@krulesurfer) reported
