  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    You make mistakes in life. Going back to @virginmedia is one of my biggest. Internet is awful, can’t sign into the media service and the customer service is nonexistent. I advise you do not do it!!!

  • TomzEvz5 X (@TomzEvz5) reported from Wainscott, England

    If I had a pound for everytime @virginmedia went down I'd finally be able to afford my Internet bill... #virginmedia #virgindown #virgin #sortitoutlove

  • Coxy009 Ben Cox (@Coxy009) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia my internet connection is still being affected by the issue you had a few days ago! This is not good enough and I expect better.

  • divadnoryb David A Byron (@divadnoryb) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia I cannot express just how disappointed I am with your service. My broadband has been dire for over a week now. Constantly dropping out, slow speeds and just not fit for purpose. First thing I’m doing is switching providers when this is all over. Never again virgin..

  • BrazilArteUK BrazilArte (@BrazilArteUK) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    I’ve been waiting in all day for a package. For them not to deliver as they couldn’t ring the door bell. @virginmedia please don’t use @YodelOnline anymore they are the worst company ever.

  • Jakec1505 Jake (@Jakec1505) reported from Chelmsford, England

  • NeilFisher80 Neil Fisher (@NeilFisher80) reported

    @virginmedia Refusing to provide a temporary solution o fix your own mistakes without completing a credit check is just wrong on so many levels.

  • badgerPM Johnny aged 5 (@badgerPM) reported

    @virginmedia Aah okay, I think being told to buy another product I don't need after waiting to speak to someone for help and now being fobbed off to ask on a forum means I've had enough of being a customer now, cheers.

  • natalieldavies Natalie Davies (@natalieldavies) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely disgusting service from you tonight! @SparkyD888 40 mins on the phone, passed to four different people all trying to do what they can to keep our custom - finally get through to cancellations, who put me on hold for ten minutes and then just hang up…

  • Steven_Whiting Steven Whiting (@Steven_Whiting) reported

    @virginmedia Have done, still no fix

  • abarnes66 Andy Barnes (@abarnes66) reported

    @virginmedia I have just submitted a complaint via the my Virgin account

  • NeilFisher80 Neil Fisher (@NeilFisher80) reported

    @virginmedia worst customer service experience ever. 7 phone calls lasting in total over 3 hours, transferred to 12 different teams, some repeats. Wrong info given, lack of info, no support, flat out lying, and bad processes and use of data, and no service for a month. Be ashamed

  • Danny_Lush Danny Lush (@Danny_Lush) reported

    @virginmedia Well after almost 6 hours on WhatsApp (yes 6 hours) I get given a ohone number to call , absolute waste of time, cannot wait to cancel tomorrow!!!

  • laughcrysmile1 janjan (@laughcrysmile1) reported

    @virginmedia and I don't do what's app. I also don't like sorting this issue out on twitter. My private business should not be on a public platform. I wasted two hours this morning and non of your paid staff were cooperative.

  • nic_r24 Nic (@nic_r24) reported

    @virginmedia This will be the 3rd evening in a row trying to sort it out. The box is new but clearly faulty. Why should we have to keep initiating contact when we’re waiting for a call back? It’s really poor service and having a quick look at the forum, I’m not on my own when I say this

  • jenathvijay2000 Jenath VJ (@jenathvijay2000) reported

    @virginmedia An engineer came today morning to fix my broadband. He said the fibre cable in the cabinet is damaged and someone is going to have to come to fix it. When will it be fixed? Can I get some help regards this please
