  • SteveRiches4 Safetypenfold (@SteveRiches4) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia router not working, of course not your equipment has to be mine. Why have to wait 48 hours to phone again if still not working. It’s arrogant to think we know nothing about IT.

  • Lainie_Whatsize Lainie Whatsize (@Lainie_Whatsize) reported from Broughton Astley, England

    Take me back to the 90’s so I can use dial-up again!!!! Much better than this atrocious service from @virginmedia

  • smarts35 Martine kotecha (@smarts35) reported from Braunstone, England

    @rory_ops @ELJefeReviews I have bought these for my son as a Christmas present with a new @SamsungMobile phone. Ear buds show fully charged and the say battery low after five minutes and power down. @virginmedia have not helped as usual,even though they were bought through them.!!!!

  • KevinRenshaw5 Kevin Renshaw (@KevinRenshaw5) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia Just done it and cut off after being put through to manager after 20 minute call. Today you had the gall to bill me for changing my service when you incompetents were the ones that cut me off. Your customer service system is pathetic as well @Ofcom

  • KevinRenshaw5 Kevin Renshaw (@KevinRenshaw5) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia I raised a complaint last Monday ref 77397383 & was told I would receive a call from you but as with everything else that failed to happen as well

  • AshArmstrong9 Ash Armstrong (@AshArmstrong9) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia Seems OK now. It was Prime Video that was the problem. I think they couldn't handle all the football live streaming very well, and something had to give. Thanks 👍

  • jasonpaulhirons jason Hirons (@jasonpaulhirons) reported from Narborough, England

    @virginmedia well after 10.5 hours of being on the phone to customer services and getting nowhere a ray of light called Linda the manager at Bellshill sorts it in 15 minutes it's a shame that you feel the need to offshore when theres genuine talent in this country

  • faizalmom Faizal Momoniat (@faizalmom) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia How can you cancel my contract whilst i am living in the house and take word from a stranger over the phone surely you have broken GDPR

  • KevinRenshaw5 Kevin Renshaw (@KevinRenshaw5) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia you are an absolute disgrace of a company with simply the worst customer service I have ever encountered. You have disconnected my service and after numerous calls and promises over 4 days I still have no service. Pathetic!

  • thecornstar Andy Corney (@thecornstar) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @BicramAthwal @virginmedia Awful company, truly abysmal customer service.

  • faizalmom Faizal Momoniat (@faizalmom) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia my advice to all virgin media customers who is reading this don’t trust what the say all bullshit am ringing every day they never ring

  • AshArmstrong9 Ash Armstrong (@AshArmstrong9) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @Aarrontongue1 @primevideosport No. Virgin Media. Not had any issues like this before. Fortunately I'll be at the Leicester v Liverpool game tonight so I won't need to put up with pixelation/buffering. Stupid time for a Boxing Day game though!

  • stumac8 ★Stu Mäc★ (@stumac8) reported from Glenfield, England

    @Leicester4life @moneybanks14 @ImTheDoctor @virginmedia @AmazonHelp I never tried it on the tivo box just on a firestick and it was crystal.

  • faizalmom Faizal Momoniat (@faizalmom) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia because of virgin media disconnecting us from broadband am missing out all on demand catch up tv on my sky q box and another thing is am paying for all that so money down the drain.

  • KevinRenshaw5 Kevin Renshaw (@KevinRenshaw5) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia I have continually been passed around departments. This morning it was sales that told me they would have me back on this afternoon. I can never get back to the same department through your automated system and I don’t have any numbers for contacting you directly.

  • jonnyriall Jonathon Riall (@jonnyriall) reported from Shepshed, England

    @virginmedia No issues reported and yet again I can't access any on demand TV tonight.

  • will_pither Will Pither (@will_pither) reported from Earl Shilton, England

    @virginmedia Now you have lost the boosters and powerline adaptor to solve the problem. Customer Services say it’s at @CollectPlus site but the site have checked and simply not there! Absolutely useless! In the meantime using @EE phone as hotspot!

  • El_Lloydie Gareth Lloyd 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 (@El_Lloydie) reported from Leicestershire, England

    Had enough. @virginmedia service in the past 18 months been truly shocking. Made a complaint last month and still not heard anything. Now trying to get hold of someone and doing the Krypton Factor would be easier! Sort yours (and my) s**t out Virgin Media!

  • LuetchfordClare clare luetchford (@LuetchfordClare) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia could you explain to me why over 20 years of being a customer of yours counts for nothing you’d rather lose a loyal customer

  • dowdall4 andrew dowdall (@dowdall4) reported from Hinckley, England

    @virginmedia absolute shit show

    @hughbarrell @rainbowdragon29 @virginmedia Cable’s news stories have all been archived now so if we did then I doubt the story would still be online. I know it’s been a long-standing issue with Virgin though

  • maciejek Maciej Jaskulski (@maciejek) reported

    @virginmedia What a waste of time Virgin Media is!!! My installation date has been delayed twice already!!! It’s impossible to get a sensible answer when talking to customer services. Bizarrely, chat option isn’t available when I log in to my account, but when I wanted to join it was availabl

  • MrRabbitGB MrRabbitGB (@MrRabbitGB) reported

    Dear @virginmedia fix your ****

  • Pits666 Pits (@Pits666) reported

    @cirrius_tech @virginmedia Is that 4G or a cabled service?

  • KeyInnovate Keith Evans (@KeyInnovate) reported

    @virginmedia customer service is not a patch on SKY ....... & I'm going to switch .... regardless of the cost ........

  • darth_na Lyndon NA (Darth Autocrat) (@darth_na) reported

    @SamPenno_MUFC @ryan_murton @virginmedia Yeah, but Sky's always been **** :D Virgin was meant to be stable and reliable... and, as far as phone/broadband go - they've been pretty near excellent. But this WiFi lark is beyond a joke. (Settle down at midnight, go to watch a bit of Netflix ... nope! WiFi is gone!)

  • AbensonYisroel Yisroel Abenson (@AbensonYisroel) reported

    @virginmedia the worst customer service and set up I have ever seen... stay far away @Virgin @VirginMoney this company promises you the world and delivers nothing

  • az10k Azher Ayub (@az10k) reported

    @virginmedia 8th feb received my new contract with vm, including the the plume network. 7th march now still waiting for the plume pods. Still paying. Called many times, waiting time over 30 minutes every-time. Not what they use to be. Very dissatisfied.

  • Markielee1970 yorkiemaz (@Markielee1970) reported

    @virginmedia waited all afternoon for broadband installation but didn't show up! Then spent 90 mins on phone trying to cancel our agreement but couldn't get a straight answer from their customer service #appalling
