  • rian951 Rian Murray (@rian951) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia Well unless you can help with a booster - customer services wanted £360 for an EE one! Most other providers offer WiFi Calling!

  • GrahamEdgington Graham Edgington (@GrahamEdgington) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia receive a final account for £63 and that would be the end of things. The final account never arrived however the outstanding account has been passed to BPOB collections who bumped it up to £269.96. I have paid the account off, so sincerely hope that Mr Branson 1/3

  • toadfish41 Chris McPartland (@toadfish41) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Hi it’s media service I cannot set up an account please help

  • AlanStockton11 Alan_MPS (@AlanStockton11) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia think you need to understand your customers are your business shocking speaking to your so called customer service team today didn’t care that my service has not worked now for a month, after a so called engineer was in my home for 5 mins saying all working 😢

  • GrahamEdgington Graham Edgington (@GrahamEdgington) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia My Mother in law recently went into care with the late stages of Alzheimers and as power of attorney of her affairs I have tried to cancel her phone contract however your customers service did not want to know. They marked the file closed and said I would 1/3

  • jakehowarthhh jake howarth (@jakehowarthhh) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia worst customer service I’ve ever received on hold for 20 minutes to then receive the news il be without WiFi for 24 hours and there’s nothing which can be done. Worst customer service going

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Cuerdley, England

    Aaaaand @virginmedia broadband is down again. Useless.

  • springviewer John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia As per usual there’ll be no problems in the area, I’ll get told to unplug the box, then you’ll book an engineer for about 5days time, meanwhile the problem magically disappears #badservice

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    So that’s @virginmedia cancelled off and their poor effort at a service. I had more reliable service with dial-up! Now signed up with @SkyUK and hoping they can at least provide me internet that I can use for a day without it going off constantly.

  • JoelLJelen JoelJelen (@JoelLJelen) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia it’s 2019, your online customer service is so poor and your offline telephone service saw me waiting 15 mins and still in a queue! Given up.

  • Kimbow21 kimberley Goodinson (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I’m disgusted I’ve been a customer for 15 years and more . You’ve put the price up by £20. The very unhelpful person on the phone offered me a £2 discount . Disgusting back to Sky .

  • aish_a_ aisha (@aish_a_) reported from Bolton, England

    Virgin media is so ******* SHIT sick of this life

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia And this is why I don’t bother calling you for the most part. The service desk where I work are in trouble if customers are on hold for 20 seconds. Virgin are a huge company and can’t afford a call centre where customers don’t have to wait 15 mins (so far) on hold.

  • spuddy1878 Neil (@spuddy1878) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Two different mobile phones and no joy at all. It’s picking up another WiFi signal from someone else but not from my home.

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Cuerdley, England

    @virginmedia Internet gone again. Second time today. Bottom light goes white and starts flashing, then green and flashing. Then the arrows light up green and flash. I can’t get 24 hours out of this service. This isn’t what I pay for and it’s terrible service.

  • textmaniaa Tracey Brooks (@textmaniaa) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia what's the point in sending a letter stating if yr service hasn't resumed by 5pm ring this number. When they shut at 5pm. Poor service again from virgin media. Nearly 8pm and still no tele or broadband. What a joke of a company.

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia just spoke to, hands down, the rudest child I’ve ever spoke to. Morgan in the cancellations department. Seriously he was lucky we weren’t face to face. Little brat.

  • Kimbow21 Mrs K E (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I’m not bothered now we have left . The guy who answered the phone couldn’t be less interested . Every thing he was saying was on a card . He was very un professional and didn’t understand English fully . So he can’t be bothered to help I can’t be bothered .

  • aish_a_ aisha (@aish_a_) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia u sent me a new router like a month ago and this connection is SLOWER than the router that was over 10 years old I’m basically sat on top of it and I’ve never experienced slower WiFi

  • toadfish41 Chris McPartland (@toadfish41) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia hi can you help me sign in been trying to contact customer services for over 2 hrs tonight

    @virginmedia Part 5: Said goodbye very rudely then hung up. I’ve never in my life been treated so appallingly as a customer from any company.

  • Trev_vamp Becky (@Trev_vamp) reported

    @virginmedia I received it on 09/01/21 at 9.23pm when I had complete loss of internet and then I text again yesterday when my landline stopped working and got the same message at 5.22pm and I sent another today because I’m still having problems and got the same message at 1.24pm !

  • yasminneee3 yaz (@yasminneee3) reported

    @virginmedia the worst

  • LongJayne trixie (@LongJayne) reported

    @virginhelp @virginmedia My cable is broken! No virgin mobile ...can't call 150 as phone obviously not working...over 18hrs myself and husband holding on seperate mobiles...keep being sent to a bot!!

  • bigdan89 Daniel Blundell (@bigdan89) reported

    @virginmedia O I’m sorry that is not a good enough. A full public apology and acknowledgement that you failed on your customer services is required. It shows how bad it is as your asking me what the call was about. This whole thread tells you what was being discuss3 when promised a call.

  • kazzkazz39 Kazzkazz 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 #iamtommy (@kazzkazz39) reported

    @virginmedia can you tell me if there are any issues in the BR5 area please. My mum cannot use her WiFi to work, has phoned you and u said I wld so a reset thing but it’s still not working. She’s tried calling again but given up with an hours wait!

  • bjbear72 Brian Dunn (@bjbear72) reported

    @virginmedia Have tried to resolve an issue now for 2 days but today was the final insult. Waited on the online chat approx 40 mins only to be told to hold for another 15 mins whilst the agent goes for a break. Can someone PM me ASAP

  • adamphillips193 Adam Phillips (@adamphillips193) reported

    @virginmedia you have the worst customer service chat ever I've been hanging on for over 4 hours now. #CustomerService #poorcustomerservice

  • pyrcroft Pablo (@pyrcroft) reported

    @virginmedia May I also suggest you look at previous tweets from and you will see what the issue is and how it is still not resolved and I want it escalated as I have spent days and days with your guys and still not resolved..

  • ChloeFirkins Chloe Firkins (@ChloeFirkins) reported

    4 hours for an existing customer to get through to Virgin Media but to get through to Sales and to set anything up with them it takes seconds before I am talking to old Janet! #CustomerService #Joke
