    Disappointed to be leaving Virgin Media having been a loyal customer for many years. Poor customer service- they were more than happy to terminate our contract without caring to discuss options. Having waited an age to discuss options this was so disappointing! #virginmedia

    @virginmedia Had trouble with TV since this morning. Now have just BBC and ITV. Tried phoning but had short message saying they are busy and phone later! Phoned later…same message! What’s going on!?

  • ELGriff28
    Elliot Griffiths (@ELGriff28) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia by far the most awful company there is for customer service and Broadband!! Would not recommend anyone to join this company they dont want to help atall 😡

  • Dex_Fitz
    𝗗𝗲𝘅 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗱 (@Dex_Fitz) reported from Skewen, Wales

    @virginmedia I’ve detailed that I have been lied to and expressed strong dissatisfaction with your customer service and your reply is to check if there are any issues in my area? Like I said, I’ll await a manager to call (if that actually happens) and add this to the complaint. Really poor.

  • George2Rachel
    Rachel George (@George2Rachel) reported from Neath, Wales

    @virginmedia After being on hold for over 50 minutes I had to end the call. I’m literally back to square one. That’s the problem.

    @MrsSusanAlder @virginmedia They're a nightmare but won't do anything to fix it now during the pandemic, but expect full payment it's a joke x

    @virginmedia You’ve sent me a link to explain how I can raise an official complaint. One option is to give you a call? Something I have now tried on 3 separate occasions. Did you not read the thread? #Virginmedia

    @virginmedia why does my Internet just die for no reason I mean I'm paying £73 for disconnecting and poor performance I'm paying for 1gb but only getting 100mb at the most it's kinda starting to annoy me at this point

  • peter_mcclurg
    Peter mcclurg (@peter_mcclurg) reported

    @virginmedia your app says intermittent issues yet your call centre automated response says no issues Utter shambles of a company.

  • old_stephen
    Stephen Old German - English Translator (@old_stephen) reported

    @virginmedia You don't have nearly enough proper shops, or even telephone help lines, where I can get help with your products. Now you have made it even more difficult for me to log into my account online. What is the point of being a Virgin customer?

  • _HadleyGamble
    Hadley Gamble (@_HadleyGamble) reported

    @isamutlib I gave up at two hours @virginmedia will cancel the service and stop payment. That is a scam.

  • RonTamblo
    Tamblo (@RonTamblo) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin media is the worst business to get answers from . Either trying to actually speak to someone rather than a Bott who doesn’t understand. Trying to upgrade due to constant messages saying my box needs upgrade and getting no help is a joke !!!!

  • MeAndTheCloudss
    Vee (@MeAndTheCloudss) reported

    So I guess I am not the only one who is having problems with @virginmedia today and the past couple of WEEKS.....💔 Honestly what is going on.....

    Danny (@hartdj) reported

    @virginmedia I am a new customer. Today I received home start kit. I have plugged in the router and it isn't connecting to the internet. I received a text message, saying 'due to a technical fault we can't activate your kit, contact us on live chat'.... can’t get through on chat.

    @virginmedia I have to switch the subtitles on again if I change the channel ? These are the main concerns regarding the 'upgrade' which unfortunately I am stuck with Surely if you have the technology to upgrade you will have the technology to achieve a down grade
