  • MatthewWalne
    Matthew Walne MCSI (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia I just never get anywhere, constantly going around in circles and no one seems capable or willing to help. The broadband kit provided isn’t fit for purpose considering how much I pay for it.

  • liamtheking
    Liam King UK (@liamtheking) reported from Oadby and Wigston, England

    @virginmedia Horrific broadband speeds, and even worse customer experience, being passed from pillar to post, continually repeating security questions, going through the story each time and being disconnected thrice in one day, without a single courtesy call back. No worries, BT’s gain

  • SmallPaulDJ
    smallpauldj (@SmallPaulDJ) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia I'm paying over 50 pounds just for 100mg broadband already! Why can a new customer get TV etc to for just 30? Conveniently the phone lines all seem off.

    @om_riff @RICHEYHELL We have **** all 4g coverage here too unless you stand in the front bedroom with your arm out the window. Our virgin media is either on & working well or down for half a day while they 'upgrade the network' 🤔

  • MatthewWalne
    Matthew Walne MCSI (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia I know I recently extended my broadband contract with you but the service is abysmal and the customer service even worse. Can I cancel please and I will go back to Sky.

  • JessLeighA
    Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @virginmedia can we actually talk to someone that can help rather than pass us on? it’s a joke at this point.

  • Katie68833952
    Katie (@Katie68833952) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia I'm not sure why, but our Internet and TV aren't currently working! No email to say work is being done. Online even says there's no issue which there clearly is. Area is LE2

  • SteveRiches4
    Safetypenfold (@SteveRiches4) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia No. I’m done with text, on line and anything except talking to someone. You’ve had the opportunity using the bot, Twitter and online support, now we need to communicate in person. #realpeople

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp a message for Rachel barrass- What an absolute shambles of a team you lead, call centres in Delhi uninterested staff who are useless at helping the customer who has been stitched up by you again. My 5 year old could do better👍 #cancelled #joke

  • MatthewWalne
    Matthew Walne MCSI (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia Sorry, I don’t understand how posting on a forum will get me in contact with someone who can help me. The customer service isn’t good enough.

    @Beanypooh @DanHerb10 #virginmedia doing a network up grade from 09:30- 15:30 due to no Internet access could not work plus no prior warning given

  • ollieg21296

    @virginmedia No faults found and no errors shown on the tests. Is there a charge for booking a technician?

  • MYLA5TROLO
    Tiger Sue (@MYLA5TROLO) reported from Blaby, England

    @virginmedia No, never been asked before. And the advisor said ‘within 4 hours’, engineer turned up today, I’m not there! He said they don’t work Sunday anyway. Advisor needs some re training.

  • breadf2man
    Fazal Rehman (@breadf2man) reported from Thurmaston, England

    Broadband has been failing since Sunday, phoned Virgin Media at least 6 times ! Engineer came today said he had fixed it, hour later exactly the same problem. Very poor service and they say I should use broadband less

  • sewychloe
    Chloë Pritchard (@sewychloe) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia my mum’s landline has a fault - no dialling tone. She’s been on hold but can’t get through to a human to report it. We have both tried to report it via her online account but cannot access it. And yes she has wiggled her sockets! Help!

    @o2 @virgin @virginmedia CEO LUTZ SCHUELER received a call from your office regarding my complaint and when I asked a direct question rather than answer your representative went silent before abruptly disconnected the call with no warning. Great customer service.

    @Graelwyn So many people have had issues with virgin media. Cancelling was a nightmare for my parents.very bad company

  • JHNaismith
    James (Jim) Naismith (@JHNaismith) reported

    Usually optimistic on technological progress so disappointed broadband speed being > halved to 67Mbps next month by @bt_uk. @virginmedia can’t fix their “blocked duct” at front door, not good advert for uk infrastructure, I live in Jericho, central Oxford, not remote Highlands.

  • ablick1986
    Ashley Blick (@ablick1986) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve had SkySports add on without requesting this. Customer support saying 30 days notice required. Anyone else had this? This is fraud!

  • MasterRoshi1667
    Master Roshi (@MasterRoshi1667) reported

    @MelJanie @virginmedia They really are a pack of useless *****. Typical VM. Takes your money and a shite service. We all accept it anyway because they are allowed to get away with it. It doesn’t pay to be loyal any more.

    Paddy Sweeney (@PaddySw99745534) reported

    @virginmedia @LucyW1972 Why is no one dealing with customer service complaints. For one month now I have emailed, messaged called but still your equipment has not been sorted. Paddy Sweeney

    @virginmedia hi. Your phone service and chat service are both failing after I input my account number.

    @virginmedia an engineer visited over the weekend to install my broadband, but the external work wasn’t finished. CS booked another engineer for today, but they don’t need them anymore because the roadworks are is being completed today. £25 to cancel myself, can this be sorted?

    First-time drug possession may no longer mean prosecution. From today, adults caught with a small amount of drugs for personal use may instead be referred to the HSE for support. They must admit the drugs were for their own use and agree to take part in the scheme. More on Virgin Media PLAY.

    Virgin media charging a loyal customer of 20 years £114 per month is a little bit of a joke when we have a speed test of 63 and new customers get 500 …. Sort it out virgin media
