mark (@PieFaceMark) reported from Poplar, EnglandAbsolute nightmare with @virginmedia arranging new package. Since agreeing package deal yesterday I've received FOUR different emails telling me I'm gonna be paying four different amounts, all higher than what was agreed. Absolutely terrible customer service and real headache
-
Tony Kinson (@mrkinski) reported from Bexleyheath, EnglandAfter the long outage overnight, @virginmedia was back online but is now down again. Any chance of you fixing it before we all need our connection for work in the morning? Asking for all your disgruntled customers. #VirginMediaDown
-
#AshTag (@Ashley_Rhysss) reported from Southwark, EnglandThe service from @virginmedia is utterly dreadful. Had Wi-Fi issues so they sent someone out to rectify. Worked for 2 days then the same issues started again. Not had working Wi-Fi for the last 3 weeks. If your thinking of going with them for tv / internet, go with someone else.
-
Alex (@ameehan71) reported from Bromley, England@_Lewis_A @virginmedia I had this problem and was advised to buy new cables, did that and it gets minimum 200mb now, also make sure all cables are really tight and fitted properly.
-
Mark 🌈🏳️🌈 (@markselondon) reported from Blackheath, England@virginmedia Broadband down again this morning in SE London, got through to customer services and they advised the outage expected to be fixed by 12th April. No compensation offered and I would have to pay a penalty to cancel my contract.
-
Claire Champion (@Champion3Claire) reported from Bromley, England@virginmedia An explanation of the problem and what is being done would be a good start for customer service. Right now that’s sadly lacking. I hope there will be a £ reduction in the bill for the lack of service??
-
Declan Higgins ☘ (@declan1968) reported from Southwark, England@virginmedia What does an area outage mean? I pay Virgin about £150 a month for services. This is over the odds but I thought I was getting a reliable service and so went with it.

Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia There is a blockage, that I know - I have had no service since November. I was told it would not be sorted before March 6th. I had been promised 3 call backs from different people in the Exec Department - none have followed up.

Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia They advise they would send a signal to router, I then turn off after 5 mins, for 10 mins and when back on all will be working! Well it didn’t make a difference and my speed test shows my downloads dropped from 236mbs to 36. The issue is uploads tho at 0.5mbps. On hold again!

-
ABabySeagull🇬🇧🇮🇪 (@ABabySeagull) reported@Benleo @virginmedia I agree. Even when I had decided to leave, it would have been easy to escape from Alcatraz than cancel the contract. Never again!
-
John Cameron (@bhoyjohn1888) reportedHas anyone successfully cancelled a contract with Virgin Media? If so, please advise. Can't get them to answer any telephone calls or emails. Shocking customer service.
-
pathfinder (@SedgewickDavid) reported@Benleo @Scott7507064635 @virginmedia I went to virgin from sky. I won’t be stopping. Terrible company
-
Dan (@KibbyDan) reported@IanLythgoe4 @virginmedia Why would you have to pay for it? It’s their issue? I still have no tv and I want an engineer to come and sort it because it’s ridiculous now. Im not paying anything. 5 days we have been without tv.
-
Martin Collins (@Martin84Collins) reported@virginmedia Any update on this issue as anything in the virginmedia store when you try and load it up it freezes. There is a TV issue in service status it says it should have been resolved yesterday. My area reference is 031. Thanks
-
AirDribblePrick (@AirDribblePrick) reported@garyb007 @Benleo They couldn't care less about loyalty, that's why all the new customers get the best deals and loyal customers end up paying double. **** @virginmedia scum company.
-
Cranberry Pointy Toes Kazi54 🌸🧚🏻🙂 (@KarenJukes2) reported@Benleo @SenseiBear44 @virginmedia They are awful !! I ditched them years ago for the most awful customer service !
-
Hamish (@Hamish88205796) reported@Benleo Just email @virginmedia cancel for breach of contract effective immediately. Make sure you contact your bank to cancel any DD. Virgin will be on the phone begging you to keep giving them your money. It's the only method known to get customer service from them.
-
Nigel XYY man (@NigelXYYMan) reported@Benleo It's a long time since I was on virgin media. They had just taken over from ntlworld. It used to annoy me that they could never get TV, broadband and phone working together at the same time.
