  • ciaranharkin ℂ𝕚𝕒𝕣𝕒𝕟 (@ciaranharkin) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia hi really need to cancel my broadband account with yourselves but i cant get thru and been ringing for the past couple of days. My new bill has come out (which is extortionate) i was told i could cancel before this but its proving difficult

  • dave6018 David (@dave6018) reported from Penwortham, England

    Wow @virginmedia love how your retention team just put the disconnection through and never offered me any thing to even try and convince me to stay

  • stu_nico Stu Nicholls (@stu_nico) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    So the lack of response and the fact there is no online option to manage my BT Sport subscription means I have no option to choke up the call lines.. So much for easing the burden and stress on the customer service teams you employ @virginmedia @Virgin

  • HelenLloyd66 Tweety Pie 🐥 (@HelenLloyd66) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia My internet and TV has been very spasmodic for a few weeks now which is annoying however it has and been down now for 24 hours. I am highly vulnerable and cannot leave the house no TV no internet this is not a service

  • aboardy Alison Boardman (@aboardy) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia spoken to your “customer service”. Advised that promises for call back on live chat cannot be traced and nothing they could do. The call centre apparently has no record of live chat conversations. Advisor seemed to blame me! For a media company very poorly connected

  • isleethere Keenan Jay (@isleethere) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia worst broadband experience so far. Been trying for 6 hours to get help from virgin media about my new broadband router and I havent got ANYWHERE. Please help me virgin, I have uni dissertation to do and NO INTERNET THANKS TO UR REPRESENTATIVES

  • alwalsh72 Andrea Walsh (@alwalsh72) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia we cannot report because everything is down. It's up and down the whole of the country

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    Great service from online service (text) and very helpful call from technical support today from @virginmedia, new hub on way to hopefully resolve issues #customerservice #FirstWorldProblems

  • dave6018 David (@dave6018) reported from Leyland, England

    @factuk @SkyUK @virginmedia @Facebook Thanks just annoys me, I pay for full tv service and idiots reselling mean I have to pay more for my legal services

  • deankamitsis Dean Kamitsis (@deankamitsis) reported from Preston, England

    Hey @virginmedia I’m going round the bend trying to cancel services with you for over a week now. I’m deaf so can’t call, I’m not receiving responses via SMS or Live Chat. No emails, nothing.

  • aboardy Alison Boardman (@aboardy) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia reported slow speeds on Sunday. Promised a call back between 2 and 4 hours. Not received. Not getting the minimum guaranteed broadband speed yet paying in full. Proving difficult to speak to anybody. You appear not to care. #poorcustomerservice

  • Libra_Comms Ali Gudgeon ✍🏻️ (@Libra_Comms) reported from Preston, England

    Debating whether to switch from @virginmedia to @skytv after being told I can’t get new deals as I’m a loyal customer of 9 years. They’ve also put the price of my package up twice in the last 8 months 😬

  • isleethere Keenan Jay (@isleethere) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia your isolator cable for my new router will ot plug into my wall outlet. Please help me. Dissertation due.

  • dave6018 David (@dave6018) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia I will know more later when champions league football is on, but after a while on 4k the box will crash and reboot its self , but just replaced the hdmi cables so I will see how it goes, but normally I cant fault your service

  • Dannymaddog Danny McKeown-Henshall (@Dannymaddog) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @PeterBayliss @Ofcom Must be a local issue for you - I’ve been relying on @ThreeUK for broadband as my @virginmedia 100mbps fibre line has been epically slow even phone calls made on Wifi calling are bad, switch to mobile and it’s perfect 👌

  • aboardy Alison Boardman (@aboardy) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia also run tests. All came back fine. Significantly below minimum guaranteed speed. Average 20mbps. Disappointed that I was promised a call and never got it. Been on hold too long. Appalling service.

  • ewart71 Jim Ewart (@ewart71) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia It’s not fixed yet @virginmedia still intermittently losing internet won the wired connection also on demand still not working without dropping out and encountering errors - get it fixed as we are sick of paying you top end broadband for nothing

    @virginmedia It hasnt been resolved. They still cant send emails. Good grief .read the previous message Virgin offered to call them. So you obvs do call out. We've raised an official complaint do you need the ref number of that too?

  • cartybhoy Raymond Carty 💙 (@cartybhoy) reported

    @virginmedia what’s happening in the Newcastle upon Tyne area? I have had broadband and tv disruption for 2 day now. I know the weather is bad but all your service status says is there a no issues with broadband and VOD issues that you are aware of

  • swebb1979 sarah 💙 (@swebb1979) reported from Gloucestershire, England

    @virginmedia after putting in a huge complaint I had an email this week confirming my first payment will be £51.00, I check my bank account this morning only to find you are taking £121.00 out of my account on Monday #gofigure #appaulingcompany #anothercomplaint

  • mo_umr1 Mohammed (@mo_umr1) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve checked this before calling no issues.. my 100 mb internet I’m only getting 13 mb speeds and to top it up I’ve got a price increasing coming .. no thanks

  • RachelOTstudent Rachel (@RachelOTstudent) reported from Derbyshire, England

    @virginmedia Also, TV uses Ethernet cable, so it isn’t even WiFi that’s the problem......

  • HendonGooner Stop Living In Fear #KBF (@HendonGooner) reported

    @virginmedia Bollocks! As a customer...I have to reboot the router at least twice a day. And your customer service/support is woeful. Can't wait to move to another provider when my contract is up. #HelpMeStarLink

  • colinevo evo (@colinevo) reported

    @virginmedia I raised a complaint in august about my costs it’s now 6 months later the complaint was closed after I had an email saying we had spoken we hadn’t I’ve emailed the resolutions team in replies numerous times to no reply I’ve called spending over an hour each time to get cut off

  • RadPhysicsGrrl Dr Lynn Martinez 💙(she/her) (@RadPhysicsGrrl) reported

    @StopFundingHate @virginmedia I have been a customer of yours for many years. I was horrified to learn that there are plans to have a Fox style GB news. We don't need hate and misinformation in this country. If you advertise with them, I will take my custom elsewhere. #DontFundGBNews

  • aigato1988 Andy (@aigato1988) reported

    @virginmedia am I to expect a call from the sales team today or will it be while I'm at work all week again?. Contract is due to expire on my phone and I'm very close to going over to EE with the amount of bad experiences I've had with your company lately

  • colinevo evo (@colinevo) reported

    @virginmedia I’m now calling to be told that the teams are all busy I might want to call back later thanks and goodbye? Your sure you cannot escalate this internally for anyone that can help to call me back? I need help and I’m getting none from the company
