  • marcgallagher82 Marc Gallagher (@marcgallagher82) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia your sales team are the biggest bunch of #fraudsters I’ve ever dealt with! Phone us to offer a better package and you have taken our package and completely messed it all up! #CustomerService at it’s worst! If this is how you treat a loyal customer of 14year, I’m off!

  • southborosweep Southborough Sweep (@southborosweep) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @virginmedia you really are useless. I've just spent 4 hours on the phone/online trying to find out when my service will be connected and you just put me on hold. I cant even leave because I tried that and you put me on hold for over an hour

  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @lobsterpants66 @virginmedia Yep. Engineer never turned up but logged it as he turned up and couldn’t get a reply. Lying b’stard.

  • Matt_Goss Matt Goss 🇬🇧🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 (@Matt_Goss) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @virginmedia I’m getting pretty sick and tired of paying you almost £70 a month when our internet/TV service has been so poor the last few months in #TunbridgeWells. Will now actively start looking to swap providers.

  • HannahMaxfield2 Hannah Maxfield (@HannahMaxfield2) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    I cannot believe that our @virginmedia internet is down AGAIN. (Same issue last week) Working from home is made nearly impossible by these jokers and not a wird of apology. With a holiday coming up I have a lot to do, @virginmedia are doing their best to increase this work load.

  • SarBrad Sarah B (@SarBrad) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is appalling! I need to cancel my contract as moving and nobody is answering the phones. I used the text number and went through a long exchange of messages only to be told I needed to phone!! I have been trying to get through for the past month

  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia hiya, another night of constant router/connection restarts and problems. Multiple engineer visits, senior engineer visits, call centre calls, new router and £160+ a month down the drain. I don’t want to switch provider but you’re not leaving me much option

  • Rockwell7 Rockwell7 😷 (@Rockwell7) reported from Maidstone, England

    @ItsJosh_Jones @downdetector It's been down for hours in Kent just got a new time for maybe getting net back as 3am tomorrow morning @virginmedia is a joke..

  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia morning, your text service seems to have stopped talking to me and we’ve spent another week with no service. Who can I speak to?

  • SarBrad Sarah B (@SarBrad) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @virginmedia I am moving house and need to cancel my virgin media and nobody is answering the phones - what do I do?!

  • RichardUnstead Richard Unstead (@RichardUnstead) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for replying, there is a better deal but as a loyal customer since the Telewest days it's not open to me. I'd be content with anything I'd consider fair, even if it were slightly more but £71 vs. £35.99 .... There must be a middle ground.

  • stew_howard Stewart Howard (@stew_howard) reported

    @virginmedia @btsport why can't I watch BTSport1 on my android device via the virgin tv go app? I am getting a rights restriction message. I pay for the service so should be able to watch all programmes irrespective of the device being used.

  • AriehMiller Arieh Miller (@AriehMiller) reported

    @virginmedia Yeh, I've booked an engineer. Seems the key is to call 3 times for the same issue.

  • MelSharpe1 Mel Sharpe (@MelSharpe1) reported

    @virginmedia Not till tomorrow afternoon Hope you cancel my bill this month. Terrible service . I need my internet to work some people work on a Sunday

  • DaydreamPainter Tamas Toth (@DaydreamPainter) reported

    @virginmedia They don’t do any checks. Your call centre staff is trained to get rid of customers so they don’t reach the managers or file a complaint. I’ve recorded them lying.

  • GxcciDemon Ben Pimblett (@GxcciDemon) reported

    @virginmedia really do have the worst internet hahaha

  • AdyJ Adrian Japp (@AdyJ) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband still at @ 2Mb/s instead of 500Mb/s since early Friday evening. Virgin cancelled the engineer appt for Monday stating known network issues. When will this be fixed? Not good enough.

  • MelSharpe1 Mel Sharpe (@MelSharpe1) reported

    @virginmedia So you want me to use more of my data . You are having a laugh. As I say great service

  • RichardUnstead Richard Unstead (@RichardUnstead) reported

    @paullloyd1 @virginmedia I am in the exact same position, retain your customers through great service, don't hold them to ransom. Be bold, be different. Don't resort to these tactics please.
