    @virginmedia I was contacting you about the terrible service. I didn't have internet for a week and had to use up all of my data hotspotting as I work from home. Your disconnection team member "Helen" was rude and argumentative and kept shouting over the top of me. Go and listen to the call.

    @virginmedia pay for your “fastest” broadband for it not to load most days! Absolutely horrendous price I pay for a rubbish service!

    @virginmedia Promised management call back which never happened, half hour waits then advised to do online complaint.... 😑Then to be told online complaint system doesn't work. Such poor customer service throughout

    @virginmedia hi our remote for our v6 vox is playing up and not working as it should do. How do I get a replacement? Thanks

    @virginmedia Is there an internet problem in Bournemouth??

  • YoungJambo
    Jamie Will (@YoungJambo) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia If I'm a customer of yours and need customer service, you put me through to a call centre in India that provides wrong information. If I call and say I'd like to sign up as a new customer, I get UK/Ireland call centres... This is wrong. Do better.

    lizhearn_ (@lizhearn4) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia I need to give notice to not carry on the contract after the minimum term ends but because I can’t remember my password - and the website won’t let me change it - I can’t get in contact with anyone, can you help?

  • TamzLALee
    Tamzin L A Lee (@TamzLALee) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia this is an absolute joke now, I do not have time to just sit on hold all day. You clearly make it impossible for people to cancel their contracts on purpose

  • CarlJTaylor23
    Carl Taylor (@CarlJTaylor23) reported from St. Leonards and St. Ives, England

    @virginmedia - twice I have been cut off when calling you this morning. Third time referred to complete a form on your website. Form doesn’t exist and wants me to hold for 45 mins for Live Chat! Not a great service!

    @virginmedia note another scam number, says we're from Virgin Media! 01917236805 SHUT THEM DOWN PLEASE

  • LaurenSTompkins
    Lauren Tompkins (@LaurenSTompkins) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia any idea what’s happening why our region is having so many problems and when this will be rectified. This has been going on all day.

  • Connor_HC18
    Connor mellish (@Connor_HC18) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @vmbusinesshelp I am having problems with the virgin media business router that gets up to 350mbps. Keeps dropping out. Not a speed problem it’s the stability of it.

  • ithastheanswer
    Stuart Jones (@ithastheanswer) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia Been having poor unusable internet all day today - worst it has been since start of lockdown. Service status says nothing wrong. Please check again - BH7 area. Had to use a lot of mobile data to be able to work today

  • wordsbypage
    Emma Page (@wordsbypage) reported from Bournemouth, England

    The Internet dropping out or down to next to nothing every 10 minutes since midday wouldn’t be an issue if I didn’t have a deadline. @virginmedia remind me why I am paying for the top package.

    @virginmedia Last time I checked the estimated fix time was 4pm approx. 🤞

    @virginmedia Sky Sports Plus not working. Sort it out.

  • AdrianOso7
    Adrian Oso (@AdrianOso7) reported

    @virginmedia I've sent private messages and they just ask me to call VM and get an engineer in. The engineer's conclusion seems to be that it's not worth the effort to extend the network by 10 metres, via a footpath which I own. And that's bang in the centre of a village right outside London.

  • MHartleyJones
    Martin Jones (@MHartleyJones) reported

    @virginmedia OK Thanks. A technician will be visiting us tomorrow, though I suspect that the fault is in your exchange switch. My point is that you should keep repairs and sales separate. A customer with a serious phone problem is unlikely to buy extra services at that time.

  • walton_bhoy
    John Bhoy Walton (@walton_bhoy) reported

    @virginmedia 33 mins on the phone to be told the engineer who was out on 24/072026 did not fix my issue but told me it was shocking really bad

  • rationalist44

    @andyburnham You might like to add VIRGINMEDIA to your list of organisations that do everything they can to prevent customers ending contracts. They are THE WORST.

    @virginmedia @Bomber19631 Been really bad as of late can’t wait to leave

    Darc Knight (@DarcKni68649817) reported

    @andyburnham It is the truth. Virgin subscription from £85 to £254 a month because contract expired and they’ll never contact you. This is affecting millions of people @virginmedia. He is attending to the truth about what is affecting people.
