    @virginmedia i logged another complaint 1 to 2 weeks prior and heard nothing back. i was advised by cust service a month ago not to log a formal complaint and log an internal complaint instead

  • Stephen12857059
    Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I called 150 today to speak to a Supervisor regarding my bill. I was told I would receive a call within the hour. NOTHING. I agreed a contract 18/8/22 and the last two payments have been £65 & £75 more than agreed. This is shocking customer care and service.

    @virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.

  • measlewolf
    Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I understand that your systems were down last night, which happens, but I’ve been on hold for 30 mins this morning. We have a text to say it’s resolved but it isn’t. I just need to speak to someone please.

  • kevmaslin
    Kev Maslin (@kevmaslin) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia The ideal resolution would have been for VM to return the document as originally promised. We have dealt with other companies in this regard and all have been prompt and professional. Even the DWP accepted a photocopy of the POA. Why VM couldn't is entirely beyond me.

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Quite possibly the worst onboarding and customer 'care' experience I've EVER had @virginmedia Unfulfilled promises, failure to deliver contract as agreed and now I'm 'lost' in the system and being ignored. I'm left with no choice other than to 'out' you. #CaveatEmptor

  • Phil_Bonna
    Bonna (@Phil_Bonna) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Angela_Griffin @virginmedia I have the fibre optic broadband for £23.95 month and the customer service is great

    @virginmedia Internet down again, 3rd day I'm a row. Can't even check status on your website as its not loading properly. When will it be fixed?

  • timhazelwood2
    Tim Hazelwood (@timhazelwood2) reported from Bewdley, England

    @virginmedia Hi, following on from the resolution of the issue outlined above. My dad has received a full bill despite being assured by every employee we have spoken to that he wouldn't be charged for the period he was without service (more than two months). Please advise

  • NewtonAndy
    Andy Newton (@NewtonAndy) reported from Dudley, England

    @Niknaklady1 @virginmedia Oh dear. That's what made me think the problem may not be virgin, if you've got signal on another set. Hope you get it sorted 👍

  • a_Muss60
    Andy (@a_Muss60) reported from Swindon, England

    @matt_hanson70 @virginmedia Intermittent for 2.5 days, Sunday always v poor the worst is 0.4mbs with a 250mbs supply. VM's script always saying reboot etc.. Funny though following reporting an issue a week ago I suddenly recorded 256mbs for an hour then it slowly drops to normal! First ever hitting supply.

  • OpiniatedOne1

    @virginmedia its nice you’re offering new customers ridiculously cheap deals but charging prices through the roof for an inferior service for a customer of nearly 20 years #CostOfLivingCrisis

  • laticwolf
    Alex (@laticwolf) reported from Bradmore, England

    @virginmedia good work 👏🏼 issues with WiFi being down constantly as soon as £7.50 monthly bill increases comes in! Currently on hour 5 of no internet and not due to be fixed before 1am 🙃

  • saqibsvideos
    ch Saqib (@saqibsvideos) reported from Birmingham, England

    Rubbish network is @virginmedia can't recommend to anyone one of the worst customer service

  • EvanD
    Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate. My account has notes regarding the reason why the credit was given last time. Ideally I don’t want to wait so long for the same issue to be fixed.

  • lvwlvs
    LVWLVS (@lvwlvs) reported from Cheslyn Hay, England

    @virginmedia That was the first thing I tried but nothing happened. It’s only when I power off at the wall, wait a minute then power on that it changes. Right now it’s working fine but this has been a recurring problem this week.

  • tr0y1291
    Troy (@tr0y1291) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia the most unreliable service going! Sky should be rubbing their hands together knowing that this shower of **** is their main competition.

  • ReissOmari
    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’m getting around 80mpbs now, should be 350 though, when I try and test it says there’s a problem in the area, but no further information

  • ________Danny
    Satish Danny Paul (@________Danny) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia I received my new 500+mps broadband only to get 6mps on my phone in my room. The Router is Terrible and cannot send the speed to devices via wifi. Not Good for anyone

  • philq001
    Phil Queenan (@philq001) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Ian66232919 @virginmedia @02 have been awful and the reception is non existent, especially any where near Villa Park. May as well not take my phone out.

    @EE At what stage of the order would I get a set up/ connection date please. @virginmedia have let me down far to many times so looking to switch to a new ISP

  • PHagerty70
    PH (@PHagerty70) reported

    @virginmedia my account has been locked since 7th May, no email or access to VM online services. I have spoken to you 10 times, including a ‘signed for’ complaint, received on 20th June. I have heard nothing, this is unacceptable. Please can someone help me? (Customer for 18yrs)

  • JoshuaGarfield
    Joshua Garfield (@JoshuaGarfield) reported

    Took me 18 months to tactically swerve Virgin Media after they tripled my broadband payments while moving home. They are unscrupulous. I’m with Community Fibre now and after 10 (mostly forced) years with Virgin, I’ll never return.

  • jaluch
    Christine💙 (@jaluch) reported

    @virginmedia Received new remotes for your new service main remote works second one does not HELP.

  • NataliaKallai
    NataliaWilson92 (@NataliaKallai) reported

    @virginmedia can you tell me why I had one of your employees hang up on me abruptly today after speaking to me like utter rubbish when I confirmed I would be cancelling my contract. Complete and utter obnoxious ignorance.

  • andyosb
    Andy (@andyosb) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia did exactly the same thing to me back in 2019! It was - and still is - the worst customer service experience of my life (and I'm now 65). It was just so glad to escape them eventually. They're utter scum. Do yourself a favour & don't go anywhere near this company.

  • joonipure
    b🍌 (@joonipure) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Cost me £200 to disconnect! **** virgin media!

  • DoctorDisco63
    Owen Luckhurst (@DoctorDisco63) reported

    @MartinSLewis @MartinSLewis hearing about Virgin Media today I’m not surprised. They did the same to me around 2020, except they lied to me about my cancellation date. By the time I called to cancel, they said it was too late. So I disconnected everything and didn’t pay them a penny more.

  • foolforyouu

    @virginmedia have a lot of people experienced wifi issues? Its the third time in the past few weeks where the wifi has gone or its really slow or shuts off then turns back on again

    @Stsantek @virginmedia That is absolutely disgusting. My mum is with virgin and I’ll be moving her in a few months when her contract is up. They’re customer service is absolutely ****
