    @virginmedia ive been on hold for age (56 minutes now?!) no reply on social media or from the websitei am an essential worker and I need internet to work. Your customer service is the worst

  • 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.

  • Veronica_Cino
    Véronica (@Veronica_Cino) reported from Swansea, Wales

  • NessafromNeath
    Vanessa Walsh (@NessafromNeath) reported from Neath, Wales

    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 business- 30 mins outage on Friday and its still off. Take it you are giving me a free couple of months for the poor service? Thanks, very kind.

  • Hywel79
    Hywel (@Hywel79) reported from Swansea, Wales

    You'd think when @virginmedia sent out a new router it'd be one that works better than the old one, apparently not though, this ones shite as well. 3 days in a row, three seemingly random bouts of just not working

    🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Shane🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Shane_Rees) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia took out new contract. Been waiting 2 days for the service to be activated and have been promised 2 call backs to help resolve the issue which has I have not had. Very poor service indeed.

    Dan Worley (@worleyyy) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia I am glad to see you get your come uppence. Im still trying to leave you after a full year of terrible low speeds. Trying to force me into paying a leaving fee of £400 even though you do not provide a proper service. @Ofcom what do I do??? I'm fed up of poor service.

  • PHagerty70
    PH (@PHagerty70) reported

    @virginmedia my account has been locked since 7th May, no email or access to VM online services. I have spoken to you 10 times, including a ‘signed for’ complaint, received on 20th June. I have heard nothing, this is unacceptable. Please can someone help me? (Customer for 18yrs)

  • JDSuker
    Jaime Dodd (@JDSuker) reported

    I was with @virginmedia in Manchester. Moved to a place which they didn’t cover and basically wouldn’t let me out it the contract even though they couldn’t provide a service. Terrible company!

  • JagsArthurson
    Jags Arthurson (@JagsArthurson) reported

    When @virginmedia tells you to update your Tivo Box to the latest version, DON'T DO IT! It is truly RUBBISH There is not one single thing about it that is not WORSE than the previous version. So bad that I will be leaving Virgin as soon as I can

  • DoctorDisco63
    Owen Luckhurst (@DoctorDisco63) reported

    @MartinSLewis @MartinSLewis hearing about Virgin Media today I’m not surprised. They did the same to me around 2020, except they lied to me about my cancellation date. By the time I called to cancel, they said it was too late. So I disconnected everything and didn’t pay them a penny more.

  • mitzpatel85
    Mitesh Patel (@mitzpatel85) reported

    @Channel4News Don’t think £28m justifies their actions.. if they were deliberately putting customers on hold and dropping call while they tried to cancel, the fine should be £1bn - absolutely pathetic from Virgin Media

    @Ofcom @Ofcom trousered £28m for themselves. Just as bad as @virginmedia 2 peas in a pod

    harley ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ (@whisperwoIf) reported

    @housecatkai @virginmedia i have mixed opinions on them, like they've provided the fastest internet speeds i've had out of other ISPs we've been with (sky, BT and talktalk) but our services always go down at least once a month and it's infuritating 😭😭
