  • modelnicola Nicola (@modelnicola) reported from Peterlee, England

    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia paperwork completed by my other half for court. Not a single follow up from Virgin. Please RT what a shambles this company and their contractors are. Accepted fault for damage at the time but won't pay up for repairs. Spread the word. Retweet this!

  • AndreaAndymac andrea mcdonald (@AndreaAndymac) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia as per usual the red button not working AGAIN the amount I pay you each month should provide me with a much much better service than this. What are you doing??????

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Out of contact & another £8 was added. My account for the free booster another complaint was logged. But no one has called me back. Can u DM me to have a look into this

  • ema_neale emma (@ema_neale) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia I called up about 6 weeks ago about the poor quality of the wifi, I was offered another booster free of charge. Then I received an email to say my bill was going up by £15.someone said they would listen to call, no one got bk 2 me & I called the other day & was told I was out of

  • benrelton ben (@benrelton) reported from Hartlepool, England

    Broadband is down in our area, but can’t register loss of service on the website - just won’t work. Any ideas? @virginmedia

  • john_watson_ 𝕁𝕠𝕙𝕟 𝕎𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕠𝕟 🎧🎙📻 (@john_watson_) reported from Redcar, England

    @DanWalk32531219 @virginmedia Just checked at 2am, finally back up again, though poor speeds on a speed test, hopefully will improve by the morning 🤞

  • Shaunelious Shaun Calvert (@Shaunelious) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Or asking what outcome they want. Anyway, not long after I get a text saying a technician is coming out that I haven’t agreed to and if I’m not home when they come it’ll cost £25. So I have to call up to cancel that and was then told I can’t add to my complaint….

  • modelnicola Nicola (@modelnicola) reported from Peterlee, England

    @virginmedia Frustrating it had to come to this when an internal investigation would easily reveal that your contractors removed struts designed to secure the fence. Now having to pay court fees to remedy an issue created by you. It's a sham. I guess you hope most people back down.

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Yes that’s fine, I offered to send it back but I was told to use it until the call was listened to. Can you check on the progress of the complaint

  • Tanya_M_S Tanya ❤️🤍 (@Tanya_M_S) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia sky red button not working again. 😕 sort it out 🤬😡😡😡😡

  • Shaunelious Shaun Calvert (@Shaunelious) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Red button for virgin, which I know isn’t true as I’ve used it before. I asked to raise complaints several times to which they just ignored before eventually saying they would raise one. He then said it was raised. Never known a complaint raised without someone describing it…

  • john_watson_ 𝕁𝕠𝕙𝕟 𝕎𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕠𝕟 🎧🎙📻 (@john_watson_) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia It's working now. Just would have been good to have been informed and kept in the loop that there was an issue being worked on, the status page was useless, stating no issues!

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia The link asks me to log in which I do, then it shows me my contract etc, I can either fill a form in for someone to contact me but I’ve did it before or it shows the complaint as been closed

  • Shaunelious Shaun Calvert (@Shaunelious) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia I’ve cancelled the visit but why should I have to call back in the first place to cancel a visit I didn’t agree to? I wanted it adding to my initial complaint or raising separately but no one was interested. Cancel my contract

  • Shaunelious Shaun Calvert (@Shaunelious) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia I’ve got 16 months left on my current contract but I’d like to cancel it as I have good reason

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia I’ve looked & it’s no help

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia M125, it’s terrible, it’s always going down, if we are both wfh we need to turn any devices off to be able to use our work laptops

  • KeithRwc Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported from Washington, England

    Looks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?

    @virginmedia hi, what number is best to call to cancel my TV and broadband contract please?

  • kingofchezo_WBA Andrew Grainger (@kingofchezo_WBA) reported

    @virginmedia For the 3 tweet it’s not working can’t you just message me and tell me this is getting very frustrating now I work on a PC and tried several browsers. You’re WhatsApp bot is useless in finding it difficult getting this information from anyone here

  • RichardLucking Richard Lucking (@RichardLucking) reported

    @virginmedia Still connected through the wall socket. New handset didn't help - they aren't at home today to check things though...

  • Martrid Martin Riddle (@Martrid) reported

    @virginmedia As you have not given me an email address I assume CM does not have one, unbelievable. Do you have an email address? I have called the stated phone number several times and the CS operator puts the phone down, to difficult to solve, so I assume communication via letter only

  • MarcMcNulty13 MarcMan (@MarcMcNulty13) reported

    @virginmedia No, it was not resolved at all, I ended up paying to have the phone fixed myself, I explained this to your team and they gave me €20 off the next bill, better than nothing I suppose, I wont be using Virgin Media again for a mobile phone service once this contract expires, thanks

  • HRRY_96 Harry (@HRRY_96) reported

    Wow. £141 refund from Virgin media today. Just for being a good customer they said. Cant complain with that, what a Monday!

  • SGyselings Sneagy (@SGyselings) reported

    @virginmedia Kate from Newcastle said she would raise the complaint and I would be contacted within 48 Hours but as it was Thursday I should expect a call this week. No one has phoned but just an email saying I had been contacted and advised???? Appalling service

  • AdaRoseCannon Ada Rose Cannon (@AdaRoseCannon) reported

    Did @virginmedia fire all of their support staff? It's literally impossible to speak to a real human anywhere and anytime it says it'll connect you to one it just hangs up instead after spending ages dealing with a machine.

  • baggyjumpas L (@baggyjumpas) reported

    @virginmedia my mum is in her 70s, recently widowed & doesn't speak much English. You need to restore her tel no asap. She didn't ask for temp no - she wants her own tel no that she's had for yrs. Pls help. Thank you

  • farrenciaran Ciarán 🇺🇦 💙💛 (@farrenciaran) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah - all of my contact details are up to date. It seems there has been a lot of other customers who have been affected by this. I still wish to cancel l.
