  • AndyStephens10 Andrew Stephens (@AndyStephens10) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia I again called you call centre this morning and spoke to a chap called Elaric or that's how it is pronounced he promised to look into my problem and call me back in one hour that was about 10.30am but he has not contacted me.I gave him my mobile and work tele numbers and my email

  • MaverickMark mark palmer (@MaverickMark) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia over 2 years of daily intermittent broadband caused by you and hidden - I can’t get a fix. Now tv box and router both don’t work. 3 hours wasted on phone, 3 dropped calls and sorry doesn’t cut it.

  • AndyStephens10 Andrew Stephens (@AndyStephens10) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia No, there is an IT fault on my account which is stopping a call being raised for an engineer to call out. Your IT people were notified 12 days ago and have still not rectified the problem.That is what is causing the whole problem.

  • AndyStephens10 Andrew Stephens (@AndyStephens10) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia I reported a fault on my Home Telephone with Virgin Media on 6th March I am still waiting for this to be repaired. Virgin Media are absolutely disgusting for customer service. Don't ever join them!

  • SteveLloydie Stephen Lloyd (@SteveLloydie) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for reaching out and the outage checker showed no signs of any issues, but clearly there was an issue with your router connectivity - I’m now running a self test to see if anything changes.

  • arigork Ari Gork (@arigork) reported from Camden Town, England

    @EE Reach the 12th month in April I think. Plan on going into a store to re-negotiate another year but as @virginmedia use your network and if they offer the same services then really comes down to paying less for receiving the same :) no hard feelings 😘

  • Lindor1306 Jo Marion Pauline (@Lindor1306) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia are unbelievable. Took a direct debit in error at end of January from my elderly father, promised to pay back in 5 days but didn’t. Then promised 7-10 days but again didn’t. Still no refund and now not even responding to formal complaint. Disgusting!

  • AndyStephens10 Andrew Stephens (@AndyStephens10) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia So this afternoon I have emailed your CEO Tom Mockridge hopefully he might be able to help! Virgin Media should be ashamed of its Customer service.

  • sunflowersoul_ Kung Fu Khinny (@sunflowersoul_) reported from Camden Town, England

    Two virgin media dudes came to fix my WiFi last year and I basically had to argue with them to remove their shoes before coming in. I even said u can keep socks on. One straight up just refused. I told him he could stay outside then and he did lmao 😂 so whack

  • AndyStephens10 Andrew Stephens (@AndyStephens10) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia There is an IT fault on my account that is stopping you issuing an engineer visit to my property. This is what's causing the main problem your IT dept have not fixed the problem they have known about this since 7th March.

  • PaulLaFiaba Paul Falkner (@PaulLaFiaba) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Clearly your kids in the advertising report were all out with hangovers when their Unis were teaching about the backfire effect of “knocking copy”. It kind of makes you sound like your own product is so bad you need to bring others down to your level

  • AndyStephens10 Andrew Stephens (@AndyStephens10) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia I messaged your Text Message service this morning and was told 'we are sorry but our IT dept are still looking into fixing this'. When I said they have been looking into this now for 13 days I received NO REPLY! Back that was at 13.17

  • theonionlives James Campbell (@theonionlives) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s still not working!

  • frangz Francisco González (@frangz) reported from Paddington, England

    @virginmedia Yes. To myself. The person in the account left the property many years ago, but the change was never done.

  • alansbrown alan brown (@alansbrown) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @Mazstrict @virginmedia Three hours I was holding Friday, four departments, passed from pillar to post only to be cut off at 2 hours 57 minutes. Their service is atrocious.... Switched to Sky

  • boxer_junior Rocky Boxer Junior - MMA (@boxer_junior) reported

    @virginmedia ZR as I said poor customer service. You win. I did not want the virgin tv fixed as it’s rubbish and I can live without it. You’ve bored me to death. The internet coming into my home is poor. I’ll carry on paying for the internet that doesn’t work. Don’t bother answering.

  • Ban_Ana_Smith Ana Hernandez (@Ban_Ana_Smith) reported

    @virginmedia I have currently been an hour and 15 minutes on the phone trying to get hold of movals and disconnection team and they keep sending me to customer services. I can't spend my whole evening on the phone!! 😭

  • uncle_honka Honk (@uncle_honka) reported

    @virginmedia can you tell your resolution team that complaint reference C-2112201227 isn't resolved, cos apparently me emailing them 3 seperate times to tell them it wasn't and asking for a deadlock letter to send to the independent adjudicator gave the impression it was.

  • c_r_shaw Christopher Shaw (@c_r_shaw) reported

    @virginmedia Ah. Heading for day 5 then. The latest update we have is: We have identified the problem and an engineer is on their way. The estimated repair time is now: 14/02/2021 18:15:00. The Virgin Media Team.- ID: F008795191. Best wishes, the Virgin Media Team.

  • twinbabbas TwinsD (@twinbabbas) reported

    @virginmedia what a disgraceful service my phone service and broadband was cut off in less than a day leaving us with no services at all because we asked to go over to BT.

  • AndrewKrisman Andrew Krisman (@AndrewKrisman) reported

    @virginmedia hi Virgin Media, I’ve spent over an hour trying to cancel my broadband account via phone and internet and finding your customer service impenetrable. I know I’m not a celeb, but can someone help me close my account!!
