    Another dose of terrible customer service from @virginmedia on hold for 25 minutes just to drop a service and negotiate a lower rate for the poor service they provide - another offshore call centre failure! #badservice

    ...customers who have been with @virginmedia for a loooooooooooooonnnnnnnnggggggg time and bloody feels like a looooong time. Service at the weekend was crap (again). Expect a phone call tomorrow to the complaints dept.

    @virginmedia Not the Month of good service though! 3 hours and counting of no TV or Internet! #poorservice

    Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @JasonHodge71 @virginmedia happened to me tried explain the issues I was had after a 45 min wait. He then kept talking over me when I called him about it he hung up. Seems par for the list of these Indian call centres. Have you noticed that you only get a UK based agent when you say your leaving

    Anyone know why the broadband is down on @virginmedia in the BR3 area. This is the 3rd time in less than a week. It’s starting to get very boring, not to mention inconvenient

  • calmspacecoach
    David O'Hanlon (@calmspacecoach) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Yet again I get fobbed off. Complaints didn't respond. I had at least six conversations with your texting service and 789 and yet - nothing.

  • MrGarySmith
    Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia The link only takes me to our messages nothing else, Normal service resumes!!! Every conversation with virgin is a mess and waste of time!

    I’m having issues with @virginmedia broadband. App states no know issues in the area, but there clearly is. This is 2nd time in two weeks. Looking for help or ideas to fix quickly. I have reset the tech. #SpeedTest 👎🏼 #ResetTheTech #SwitchOffAndBackOnAgain

    @virginmedia virgin mobile customer in a travelodge who is advertising virgin WiFi- why do I need to pay for this when I am on your network- surely it should be a hotspot!!! 😡

  • PlexNetflix
    Martin Phillp (@PlexNetflix) reported from Camberwell, England

    @Emily_Benn @virginmedia I use their mobile service, but wouldn't touch the cable with a bargepole. It's oversubscribed in London.

  • lawrie774
    Law (@lawrie774) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Honestly don't think @virginmedia can provide a worse service. Over the last 6 weeks I've had to put up with over a week of no phone lines, last week almost three days with no broadband so cant process payments, and now it's down again. Unbelievable 😠😠😠, costing £1000s

  • pantsant
    ANT (@pantsant) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia spent much of the last hour switching things off and on still no internet or television! What the F do we pay for!! Oh yeah Piss poor service and no answers!

  • MrGarySmith
    Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    Try and do a help chat on @virginmedia connect app I bet you will still be there the next day waiting for a response or if lucky had one reply 12 hours later asking for you name

  • MrGarySmith
    Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia You seem 2 4get I have full house Serv costs over a £100 which means betw. hours of 5.30am and 8pm I haven’t got the time to **** around for a week worth of questions taking 24hrs to get a response only to find it’s been ended by them as I didn’t answer in two hours! FFS

    Feels so good to cancel the direct debit for virgin media Ireland and never be a customer again. People if we all cancel our direct debit’s they will have to reduce their prices @VirginMediaIE #costofliving #costoflivingpayment #recession2022

  • gashead
    Alistair 🏴‍☠️ Burns (@gashead) reported from Hatfield, England

    Used to tell my colleagues on @virginmedia to switch to @BT to overcome reliability issues. Moved house and little choice to pick Virgin. No internet or TV for 7 days, fix due by 1pm today. Queried at 1.30pm and 6.30pm, assured it would be today, told to relax. Frankie says BS.

  • Megameak
    John Meakins (@Megameak) reported

    @virginmedia are there any issues reported for NN5? Been a week of faulty Internet and even none at all! It's Friday night and I have had no Internet all day. Any update would be great, it's annoying to be told there are no faults on my connection when there really is.

  • misspiggyx101x
    misspiggy101 (@misspiggyx101x) reported

    @virginmedia I spoke to them, my problem was that it took 5 hours of messages to get nowhere! Was offered a deal then wasnt allowed to actually have it?? Honestly gobsmacked!

  • xSmithy1980x
    x Smithy x (@xSmithy1980x) reported

    @virginmedia What?? Yes total loss. No internet and no tv. May have service during day but I’m at work then so no use to me , it’s not just a slight drop out. Can’t even load web on my phone

  • LOLOPHONEIQ
    Vorix (@LOLOPHONEIQ) reported

    @virginmedia It isn't just slow WiFi speeds, it's the fact it keeps dropping off and disconnecting form things making everything that needs the Internet unusable

  • Laps72
    Laps (@Laps72) reported

    @virginmedia Your WhatsApp chat service is ridiculous! I’ve got a simple question and I’m left ‘hanging on’ whilst an agent is found. Shocking customer service
