@virginmedia I opted out of marketing, it’s from your sales team trying to stop my from switching my service, it’s overkill especially as I’ve already had the conversation with your agents about it.

@virginmedia you've surpassed yourselves this time! 50 days without broadband and yet another promised date of reconnection passed with no communication or explanation. I refuse to waste another sunny weekend waiting for your useless 'customer services' to lie to me.

No Internet for 2 days now @virginmedia no facility to speak to anyone, book a technician or anything else for that matter. Your help text is quite frankly useless in this situation. Please provide a method to get this resolved ASAP. Awful service.

@virginmedia Hi. It now 4 hours since I started trying to resolve your billing mistake using your WhatsApp messaging service. I have had to explain myself more than half a dozen times. Please check the details and resolve the matter asap. Thank you. Amanda

@virginmedia No! It's your issue with your equipment. You should be keeping me, as a valued customer, informed. I've spent hours listening to crap music waiting to get information about this. Then being lied to. Do better.

@virginmedia worst service ever. Who can I speak to about cancelling a contract that has never gone more than 3 days without freezing and buffering?

@virginmedia "I am really so sorry that you are looking to cancel the services which I will need to get you connected with our customer relations team who will be able to help you further..." I had to ring on a different day as I had no more time that day

@virginmedia Nearly an hour trying to call. I have better things to be doing on a Saturday. This is atrocious. All I want is an explanation as to why I have been denied a service for two months and lied to repeatedly.

@virginmedia No. YOU need to talk to me. YOU need to tell me what's going on. YOU need to sort out your woefully inadequate 'customer service'.

@virginmedia I am not happy with my Internet speeds. I have been a virgin customer for 3 years and have been told that I apparently have too many devices connected which I have never heard of with any previous provider. I have 100mbps and have had nothing but slow lagging stream

@virginmedia I'm shocked how poor you treat your customers. I cancelled my service 10 days ago and somehow you talked me into staying... but then failed to live up to your promises again... I have cancelled today. Thank God for the 14 cooling off period. #Broadband #complaint

@virginmedia No! I've just spent 26 minutes trying to get through, so I'm just going to pester you on here instead. I've raised three separate complaints to no avail. My only recourse is public humiliation. For a communications company you're really very poor at it.

@MerrynSW I have found @virginmedia to have the worst customer service I have ever encountered. This by some distance. Really difficult to imagine how it could be worse. .

@virginmedia What's the point?🤷I've spoken to I don't know how many people now and noone will help or do anything about it. I will leave as soon as I can afford the cancellation fee and will advise anyone to never use @virginmedia

@virginmedia Sadly yes! Although when the contract is up, don't think we'll be in future..... Worst service ever!

@virginmedia Last week, you booked an engineer call out & then cancelled it the day before because the problem miraculously fixed itself despite it being nothing to do with your service. It's funny every time we see a random virgin media van anywhere nearby, within hours there is a change!

(@Young73Co) reported
@virginmedia This is how my service is going so far. 29th Dec - 1st install date. Internal install done but external cabling not installed correctly (NO SERVICE).Informed there's a blockage and a 3m trench would need to be dug to sort it. Even though the cable runs overhead!

@virginmedia absolutely useless customer service. Paying for Broadband that doesn’t work & all I’m being told is that it’s a service issue in the area?! It’s been going on for months?

(@MentalMoles) reported
@virginmedia I don't want to have to cancel, I want the deal and package I signed up for. See complaint reference C-300123764. I have since called and spoken with a manager who did nothing to assist and told me it'd take them 14 working days to even issue a deadlock letter!

It’s now been nearly SIX WEEKS since @virginmedia first attempted to connect us up to their broadband. We’ve had three engineer visits and one no show. This ineptitude and abject customer service has cost me three days of work and an inflated mobile bill from using mobile data.

@virginmedia They used to work but since Friday I’ve had this problem. Your team sent me out a brand new pod today, guess what - it’s the same problem. I think the hub 4 is the problem. I wish I never changed from the hub 3 to 4.
