-
Asad Moghal (@AsadMoghal) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia @Big_Stylo Guys, your service page isn’t working. You need to listen to what your users are saying rather than just repeating the same response
-
Pete Austin (@PeteAustin_) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia My partner - a current Virgin customer - just got *HUNG UP ON* by one of the rudest customer services advisors I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Abhorrent customer service. Absolutely shocking.
-
Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England@Mike_Randazzo1 @virginmedia Oh, they did let me cancel, but I had to answer about 3 “last question”s before they proceeded 5 minute response time on chat, took me nearly two hours, after the 4 hours it took to connect an agent. We could get a contract with a credit check in 5 minutes.
-
shoegal (@Marshall5Sharon) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia It says no problems but believe me… I have no WiFi at all, rebooted and done the usual check
-
Nicky Beale (@NickyJBeale) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia not very happy with the service from Virgin Media! After looking to leave them last week they promised to improve the WiFi and install a 2nd box. Well we have never and now they want to install the 2nd box in a MONTH and a HALF! #poorservice #virginmedia

-
Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Hammersmith, England@AlexanderTroup @virginmedia I guess there is a retention quota of some sort, that needs to be hit for some big wig get a big fat bonus. Especially, since we staying a customer anyway, just different account.
-
craig crawford (@craiginmotion) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia And how am I to do that with no service? It took 3 technicians to figure out my modem had to be “pin reset” and another to rename it properly. Thats 1 hr of my life gone. So glad @CommunityFibre has arrived near me.
-
Wolé Adesemoye (@WoleAdesemoye) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia My previous landline telephone number was meant to be ported over and this never got done. I’ve never been able to receive incoming calls on my landline. Internet is very intermittent. My experience with your customer service hasn’t been great. All along I’ve been paying in full.
-
Jose Carvalho (@josethepotter) reported from Hammersmith, EnglandExtremely disappointed with Virgin Media. Made a contract with them for internet for my business on the 09/09/21 and still NO INTERNET installed. Called customer service and they can’t help, call the order manger and they can’t help too. Who can Virgin? @virginmedia @Virgin
-
Foodwise Woman (@FoodwiseWomen) reported from Kensington, EnglandI’m trying to live chat to @virginmedia to see if they can install a Hub 5 router in our area as Apple reporting privacy problems with existing router. I’m on hold for a ‘live’ agent but their Terri Triage BOT requires me to press the ‘Yes I’ll hold button’ every 40secs. 😱😱😱
-
Niamh Wimperis (@WimperisDesigns) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia @GetYourAlexOn And spend another hour on the phone. This is totally unacceptable service.
-
Nesli Shafak (@NesliShafak) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia trying to cancel my subscription for the last 2 hours. It takes forever to reach someone responsible. It is unethical to make this process so hard
-
Muloongo Muchelemba (@muloongo) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia Why is the broadband service down today?! It’s been patchy all week. For the price we are paying every month, we expect better than this… #virginmedia
-
Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, EnglandOnce again virgin media down in central London SW5. No television and no broadband #virginmedia #virginmediadown @virginmedia
-
reme campos (@remecampos) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia my internet keeps cutting off and today not working! I had tried everything your hub mentioned and nothing
-
Duarte Mendonça (@DuarteMendonca) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia having massive issues with billing and tried over 5 times to sort this over the phone. Most times someone will hang up and not call back making me have to call again, wait for 30m, tell the whole story again. Need to speak to an actual human at a store. Suggestions?

Eyezwideopen (@Eyezwideopen3) reported@JOYRANDEV62ef @virginmedia @jrdOvn They wont help they will just avoid the issue for months.
-
Johnycantdecide (@ladydaveg) reportedDiagnostic tests suck, the myvm app sucks, your ai at the end of the phone can't tell the difference between zero and three and I still can't speak to anyone. Is there anything you can do right? @virginmedia
-
James Moore (@JimMooreJourno) reported@Andycave @virginmedia Mate, we had them. They were just awful. We switched to BT. Much better. Yes Virgin Media made BT look good. Constant grief with Virgin. No problem with BT.
-
john (@jhargie4) reported@O2 @virginmedia CEO Lutz Schueler been waiting 5 days for my DEALOCK Letter following your refusal to actually discuss my complaint before transferring to another service provider. New customers get better deals than 20 year loyal ones.
-
Gwen Maynard (@KookieG62) reported@virginmedia Absolutely shocking service . Broadband and TV down since electrical storm on Thursday morning. Not fixed despite you saying otherwise. You keep cancelling the engineers to come to my home.
-
lizrichards24 (@SonyRichards4) reportedHere we go again, unable to cancel an old SIM card from @O2 and @virginmedia
-
Truthwillsetyoufree (@Truthwills26171) reported@RakeLark @handsomedave32 @VirginMediaNews What personal issues, my disgust at the race baiting grifters and the morons who support them? If that’s a personal issue I’ll happily hold it. Where did I say it wasn’t a concern or problem? I stated facts about Virgin Media, & that many agencies can get state funds!
-
ThatGoku (@ThatFoxGoku) reportedWoke up to find #virginmedia broadband down again. Very disappointing as I have work to do online at home today. Might be requesting some compensation. I guess it’s time to switch provider.
-
Yvie777 (@Yvie777) reported@virginmedia I am still waiting for my refund, despite multiple phone calls where you assured me it would be processed. I have yet to receive it. This experience confirms my decision to leave due to your poor customer service and unresolved issues.
-
John smith (@smith_john33910) reported@LordDunners @ryantegan @skytv When I wanted to cancel Virgin Media they would not let me. I had to force a cancellation by withholding payment. Yes I got rid of Virgin Media..but it left a nasty “non payment” black mark on my credit rating. So beware!
