    @virginmedia I had no Virgin Media services in Feb. Nor in Easter. Neither do I have them today. Technicians don’t turn up when booked. Today I am using my mobile network 4G to look for a reliable internet service because yours is letting me down too often. Thank you, next.

    @virginmedia No communication from you & no updates.This was one of the worst possible times of year for sports fans for this to happen. This is happening regularly since KIER group took over. I’ve had to make nothing but complaints the last 12 months. Appalling standards/service

  • walegates Wale Gates 🇳🇬🇬🇧 (@walegates) reported from Rochester, England

    Hey @virginmedia! Your service is down in the whole of Strood. It’s been down since Friday, you are definitely going to lose a lot of customers this year from ME2. Fix it please, keep saying your engineers are on it. They not.

  • AntonyGladstone 🏎 🍁 Tony Gladstone 🎧 🇬🇧 (@AntonyGladstone) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia I have left you. As of 23rd of this month I am no longer a customer of yours. So, when you send me an email and a bill welcoming me.....well, it just proves my decision to go to Sky was the right one. Ac 620273104 area 06 Bill sent 19 3 19

  • nicolleclothier nicolle clothier (@nicolleclothier) reported from Gillingham, England

    Never use @virginmedia for broadband there useless! I was on the phone to them for 1hour & 30 mins my issue still hasn’t been resolved & they passed me to 4 different members of staff then they put the phone down on me! Complete ignorance!

  • stepheadley Stephen Headley: (@stepheadley) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @markcatchlove @Chrisitv @virginmedia Said before mate. I switched sometime ago now because of poor service. Spent a fortune one month in telephone bills waiting and waiting and waiting.....still waiting

  • njfishingtackle NJ Fishing Tackle (@njfishingtackle) reported from Meopham, England

    Virginmedia, biggest bunch of robots since terminator, remove your private information cost you thousands and still think they are allowed, even though they never informed us they would be closing our accounts after being customers for over 13 years #virginmediabadservice

  • TcEllalou21 Trevor John Cheal (@TcEllalou21) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia just one question, how do I get the service (sky cinema) you offered March 1, I accepted and you confirmed March 1. Who can help me then?

  • sheis_janice pride . is . the . devil (@sheis_janice) reported

    @virginmedia why did I have to call to find out it’s an outage in my area until Tuesday? Why was no email sent out to your customers!! How do you expect me to still wfh and do my online studies. Please explain!! 😤😤

  • XboxBonesE M (@XboxBonesE) reported

    @virginmedia That should have happened already!!! I shouldve recieved a phone call....didn't happen!!! Its the same crap I hear everytime!!! @Ofcom

  • peterjs0007 Pete (@peterjs0007) reported

    @virginmedia Yes they told me they couldn’t help as VM agents haven’t done their jobs properly as they did not register the referral so I need to speak to VM. When I do they say I need to speak with Aklamio. A total joke

  • Tej_Grandchamp Tej_TheGrandchamp (@Tej_Grandchamp) reported

    @virginmedia I have made a complaint and what do I get, the same old rubbish service and 4 weeks now, no updates on the complaint.

  • Champion3Claire Claire Champion (@Champion3Claire) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I think you will have to agree this is an unacceptably long time for the repair as it’s already been going on for days?? “There's a TV issue in xxx. Thanks for your patience while we work to fix things as quick as we can. We hope to fix this by 14 March at 16:00”

  • brysatra 𝓂 𝒶 𝓎 𝒶 𝓇 (@brysatra) reported

    @virginmedia I have a telephone engineer booked for Monday. I tried to cancel using the text link supplied. That didn’t work. So I called your telephone faults team. The person I spoke to said she couldn’t cancel the appointment. Her system wouldn’t let her. Then she disappeared.

  • bigTimmyB84 Timmy (@bigTimmyB84) reported

    @Jaynesharp @edfenergy I bet @virginmedia is worse. I've tried all week to speak to them but genuinely horrendous customer service.

  • _Al3xP Alex (@_Al3xP) reported

    @virginmedia i think you guys have intermittent problems in SE3. Us and all of our neighbours are experiencing random outages for about a fortnight, this current one lasting for hours now. Have called your customer service and they are not interested beyond resetting the router.

  • Millwardt2 Millwardt (@Millwardt2) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately it seems the change to 13th didn’t go ahead - I’m glad I called to check and didn’t wait in all day. It’s a bit disappointing to have so many problems right at the beginning hopefully it will be better from here onwards
