  • Julia___Valerie Julia Valerie (@Julia___Valerie) reported from Kensington, England

    @dazzleeds @virginmedia Have exactly the same experience with @virginmedia - customer service does not exist but the charges are taken and increased without fail. For three weeks have been trying to get in touch and get some support with zero result argh 😖🤯😭😭😭😭

  • OptimiseOrDie Craig Sullivan (@OptimiseOrDie) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s back now but was out for about 36 hours in this area. Service kept dropping (I know, I checked the router logs). Hope you keep it running!

  • seldnfoodie Erik (@seldnfoodie) reported from Camberwell, England

    We won our case against @virginmedia for refusing to refund our money after they failed to cancel our landline. They owe us £321 and today they say they "can't refund due to #COVIDー19 so they will apply the credit to our account." Oh no you won't! Another poor #Virgin brand

  • nooriiiy Noor (@nooriiiy) reported from Paddington, England

    Can @virginmedia WiFi please fix up!! Gave me a right scare

  • JanineAdelman Curly O's (@JanineAdelman) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia We have ongoing service fault making our viewing impossible. It cannot be rectified as engineers cannot work. Yet you still increase our bill by over £25!! Tried to phone but end up being cut off, no online chat working. Very frustrated.Please advise what can we do.

  • AndyM_N3 Andy M (@AndyM_N3) reported from Barnet, England

    Virgin Media is useless. Awful signal, worse customer service. Thanks for nothing.

  • ConfidingGoblin Luke William Reardon (@ConfidingGoblin) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia internet cut out 20 mins early tonight. Don't know if that's progress or not. Think I might progress to sky or BT. Absolute disgrace of an internet provider you are.

  • digs9292 JBailey (@digs9292) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

    @virginmedia @grimegran Grime Gran obviously using somebody else’s WiFi because your WiFi is crap. Biggest load of shit going, you guys.

  • sinajtojayz Janis Sinaj (PISCES) (@sinajtojayz) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia what a 🤬cheek 45 mins on the line and you disconnect me DISCONNECT MY SERVICE ASAP . I’m ******* fuming how dare you..! I am no way paying 2 bills for a service that should have been disconnected

  • divadnoryb David A Byron (@divadnoryb) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia I cannot express just how disappointed I am with your service. My broadband has been dire for over a week now. Constantly dropping out, slow speeds and just not fit for purpose. First thing I’m doing is switching providers when this is all over. Never again virgin..

  • ConfidingGoblin Luke William Reardon (@ConfidingGoblin) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia you've said the internet problems aren't down to user levels so what's the deal. Every damn night I'm cut off. I'm done with you.

  • damawa42 Daniel W (@damawa42) reported from Camden Town, England

    @lornajane2 @virginmedia Yeah, clearly something wrong specifically with my Virgin kit, or something hyperlocal (cabinet/wiring)... But they refused to investigate my query as there was an outstanding issue until May 5th, and since then disgracefully haven't bothered responding. So can't get a diagnosis.

  • robtrs Rob K (@robtrs) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia my connection keeps randomly dropping all day today and has been for a week or so. Can’t test the connection when it happens (no Internet connection) but your service status says you have no issues. This is very frustrating #virginmediadown

  • SADLondon Stephen Anthony Davids (@SADLondon) reported from Stratford, England

    I work with underachieving students with acute behaviour issues. I am unable to offer my services online due to @virginmedia being down now for the 3rd week in E15. Justify this!!

  • sinajtojayz Janis Sinaj (PISCES) (@sinajtojayz) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia I’m extremely disappointed with the service this is why I left or thought I had only to find out my service was never cancelled instead upgraded and I’m still being bill.on the phone now 30mins

  • pussinpjs1 linda holmes (@pussinpjs1) reported from London, England

    No access to the Internet @virginmedia anyone else having problems

  • damawa42 Daniel W (@damawa42) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia But your SMS team either a) never respond or b) refuse to help me specifically because they say there are outstanding issues. So, through a combination of a) and b), you never look at my issue. Because there's either always a wider issue, OR you ignore me. Utterly unhelpful.

  • sinajtojayz Janis Sinaj (PISCES) (@sinajtojayz) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia I’m on the phone again let me see what will happen this is disgusting.. I do not want your service as I’ve said previously I changed providers . Disconnect my service NOW..!

  • ConfidingGoblin Luke William Reardon (@ConfidingGoblin) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia cut out 20 mins early tonight. And you had been so consistantly bad I was beginning to worry. Back to being inconsistently bad. Great work team. 😡

    For a company the size of @virginmedia their customer service is the worst I have experienced in 30 years.

  • TraceyHarchay Tracey harchay (@TraceyHarchay) reported

    @O2 please can you help me to activate the Disney+ offer through O2 priority. I’ve got an active account of Virgin Media. Thanks

  • jpriddle14 Joe Priddle (@jpriddle14) reported

    @virginmedia - can someone please get in touch with me regarding a complaint I have about a discount that wasn’t applied to my account on more than one occasion. Thanks

  • serennaa_xo serena sylvia (@serennaa_xo) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia There’s no point speaking to customer service, it’s not really much of a service is it? Just people that don’t listen to your problems. I have been in contact with CISAS this morning.

  • mullerBiker muller999 (@mullerBiker) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t need help I know a scammer when I ask them simple questions. Also I won’t type what I call some of them twitter will cancel me

  • RahRah0405 Rachel Murphy (@RahRah0405) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. You sent me a quick start box for my old account, then disconnected it, set up a new account and contract without my permission, and that's not working either. Not being funny but I'm going round in circles. I need a manager or I'll contact your CEO. Thanks

  • apo_sisko Apollo (@apo_sisko) reported

    @virginmedia Horrendous! Virgin called me for the broadband switch. I couldn't call back because I only had an order ref and not a customer ID. I called back and I was on the phone for over 1 hour for a new application. I then received a voice mail that the 1st is going through

  • LizTray Liz Tray (@LizTray) reported

    @virginmedia I tried it in two different browsers. I am absolutely not clearing thousands of cookies. These are for websites that have recorded info about preferences. I've tried it in Safari, which I never use, and it still does not work. This is a waste of time. Hopeless.

  • HomemadeByHema Hema (@HomemadeByHema) reported

    @virginmedia can you please get in touch, I’ve had problems with wifi since 5 Oct, however your staff keep fobbing me off with ‘there’s an outage problem. I am fed up with having to call them every other day to be told the same by another member of staff

  • channe1bleu channel bleu (@channe1bleu) reported

    @virginmedia Called Yesterday: no works planned on system, not sure how the agent got that info, call back tomorrow as it is now OOH for Construction team. Called today: please stay on hold while we find out the issue. On hold for over 1 hour, line disconnects and I don’t get a call back.
