  • alisonwonder2 alison homewood (@alisonwonder2) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia At our dinner party last night you were voted the company with the worst customer service. Six months trying to get in contact. I WANT A HUB 3!!

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    @simon_tabor @virginmedia My Virgin TV hasn’t been working since the 29th of July. They’ve “sent” 3 technicians, none of them have made it here. this is hands down the worst run service provider, with unethical, unhelpful customer service teams.

  • christteach Christopher Townsend (@christteach) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @MediaLow_down @virginmedia Not yet! Hope they will. Yesterday was awful- over 2 hours on the phone. They told us they could do it so we didn't sort out a new ISP now my partner will have to miss a week of work and I won't be getting any school prep done from home before new term.

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    @BamBamSam92 @virginmedia Mate, best advice is sack them off and get another service. Go for BT rather.

  • christteach Christopher Townsend (@christteach) reported from Walthamstow, England

    Thanks @virginmedia for charging us a disconnection fee of £230 after being told we wouldn't need to pay a fee on the phone. Despite the fact we are being kicked out of our house and you don't provide service in our new area. Really classy move.

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    @BORDERJOE @virginmedia Joseph, my best advice to you and your father is to leave Virgin for BT or any other service provider that acts ethically and cares for their customers which Virgin evidently doesn’t.

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia I’m tired of hearing I can’t speak to a manager and one will reach out, I’m also tired of hearing your complaint will be escalated and I’m tired of paying and getting half a service. What must happen now?

  • indra_och Indra (@indra_och) reported from Ealing, England

    Hi @virginmedia @vmbusiness our wifi has been acting weird since yesterday morning. We have restarted the modem quite a few times but the connection is still quite unstable. Could you have a look?

  • TimLundSE26 Tim Lund (@TimLundSE26) reported from London, England

    @AnyaMartin8 @virginmedia You've never been a @TalkTalk customer?

  • koshmiah Kosh (@koshmiah) reported from Camberwell, England

    @Virginmwdia Waited over 1 hour for technical support only for the phone to be hanged up. Worst service every #virginmedia WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE

  • alisonwonder2 alison homewood (@alisonwonder2) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia a third tweet to try to get you to ask me to DM you to talk about my COMPLAINT. And all I get is a bot feedback survey which takes me 10 mins but never bears fruit.

  • NatalieEllenO Natalie O'Sullivan (@NatalieEllenO) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia I can’t seem to get through to speak to anyone to assist with an ongoing issue we have with our TV service. For over a week when trying to watch TV the picture is distorted/pixelated. The only time I can watch a clear picture is when I watch Netflix.

  • kanyonatic Mary (@kanyonatic) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia I’m locked out of my account even though I’m using correct info help

  • sheewa sheila hetherington (@sheewa) reported from Epsom and Ewell District, England

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia [1/2]Other than my tv service being down for an entire month, I’ve had your customer service/faults/technical team pass me back and forth between yourselves acting as if I’ve reached a different department. All of whom have not helped me in the slightest. I’ve had 4 reps tell me

  • VictoriaLART Victoria Burns (@VictoriaLART) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia internet been down locally since 4.40pm Tuesday - following two engineers messing in the junction box on Kynaston road N16. #workingfromhome 😩

  • 4imix K'inich Ahau 🍊🍭🚴✊ (@4imix) reported from Lambeth, England

    @LuckyHeronSay Best have been @Beer52HQ Keeping me supplied with great beer! Worst have been Virgin Media. Appalling service, rubbish customer service

  • E7Drew Andrew Jarman (@E7Drew) reported from Stratford, England

    @virginmedia looks like the mail servers down?

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia are the complaints team able to reach out? Consistently given the run around by all your customer service reps, you guys are unethical and quite frankly don’t respect your customers enough to keep promises. Will be going to @Ofcom next.

  • bobbywhirlwind bobby whirlwind (@bobbywhirlwind) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia internet has been 20 min on, 20 min off all day. your site says no issues. help?
