  • chrisgreen
    Chris Green (@chrisgreen) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia Try actually looking at your previous comms on Twitter with someone before making such an inappropriate and unhelpful response! At the end of the day, if you are not going to help, why are you here?

  • DuarteMendonca
    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?

  • iamAleFerrara
    Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Yes I did try to call but couldn’t get hold of anyone after a 20 min wait. As you can see from the screenshot above in previous tweet, every appointment I make gets cancelled. Are you able to do something about this? Any help would be much appreciated

  • NesliShafak
    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

  • GaborPfalzer
    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @AbzAaron @virginmedia Even better… if you don’t play along, nobody else will cancel it. You can’t even hang up on the sales pitch.

  • tobygilles
    🎤Toby Gilles🎤 (@tobygilles) reported from Paddington, England

    Anyone else having an issue making calls on @virginmedia mobile? Is this a known issue?

  • catgull
    Catherine Gull (@catgull) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia what is going on with the network. No service!

  • MissMikaSimmons
    MIKA SIMMONS (@MissMikaSimmons) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Hi - my wifi still isn’t working. I’ve texted you and now tried to call you to cancel with no answer from either. Can I ask where is the money from your customers being spent?

  • edward_baran
    Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    Like night follows day, it gets a bit hot and @virginmedia goes down. Useless #virginmediadown #virginmedia

    I feel down as my @virginmedia internet.

  • muloongo
    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

  • RobbieSpice89
    Robbie_Spice (@RobbieSpice89) reported from Paddington, England

    So after wasting a whole day waiting in for my @virginmedia box to be delievered when it was meant to, @YodelOnline has still got it sitting in there warehouse and after 2 webchat with the help desk I get told you get it when you get it…what a joke so atm have no internet fml

  • antonypatrickuk
    Antony Patrick Assoc (@antonypatrickuk) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia I’ve now raised an official complaint! The @virginmedia customer service team were useless! I will be terminating my contract with you ASAP and will advise everyone I know about the level of service you offer #virginmedia #poorcustomerservice

  • hdl_dl
    helena (@hdl_dl) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Hi, still with the problem. Broken and distorted image and audio

  • GaborPfalzer
    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @Mike_Randazzo1 @virginmedia Thought about it, but it’s most likely a management directive, nothing will happen. All I want is my package, set up the new flat, and not hear about them until we cancel again, hopefully last time.

  • remecampos
    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

  • craiginmotion
    craig crawford (@craiginmotion) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia F*k YOU. No wifi for a week. Waiting for a supervisor to call me back within 24 hours. FOUR DAYS Later and 2 IDIOT technicians ... cancel my service NOW. I’m moving my building Into the 22nd century. Keep playing with copper wires See ya *******

  • edward_baran
    Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia There are your usual garbage explanations yes. Saying no fix for hours. Not good enough

  • FoodwiseWomen
    Foodwise Woman (@FoodwiseWomen) reported from Kensington, England

    I’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. 😱😱😱

  • Marshall5Sharon
    shoegal (@Marshall5Sharon) reported from Kensington, England

    No internet at all now… apparently there are a few areas with dodgy internet problems… thanks Virgin media 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • UAVHive
    UAVHive (@UAVHive) reported

    Virgin Media simply do not seem to grasp customer service, I really fear the damage the merger with O2 will do to the service there. Penny pinching over a bereavement is proof of a fundamentally mismanaged customer service.

  • SirPuppetPaul
    𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 (Sign name: Puppet) (@SirPuppetPaul) reported

    @MichelleBeckett Truly awful. I worked in customer services for a very long time and @virginmedia just needs to get better. It's never about the profits, it's what you're doing for the customer. Put yourself in Michelle's shoes. How would YOU like to be treated like this?! I'm sorry Michelle.

  • DinaGlyphs
    Opeyemi Daniel (@DinaGlyphs) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Newsflash, @EE is also ridiculous with shady contracts. I hope you never get to cross hairs with them.

  • Samet_UK
    Samet (@Samet_UK) reported

    Wifi has been down since 1 am and there still hasn’t been a satisfactory explanation for the issue. They just share a link for me to check if there’s an outage in the area. It says there is one, but no more information. It’s been nearly 12 hours. @virginmedia

  • SulKalra
    ✦Kael✦ (@SulKalra) reported

    @JackHansenFIT @drunkandcoding @InternetH0F You are aware that many companies take multiple measures to make it hard to cancel a subscription right? For example in the uk, virgin media is under fire for multiple cases of them actively blocking customers from cancelling their broadband so they could switch to something else

  • adam_luxon
    Adam Luxon (@adam_luxon) reported

    @theashrb It isn’t at all and they’ll still think they can get away with it. The government should intervene in this matter to ensure that all public goods cannot outsource their customer service. A few months ago, I had a horrible call with virgin media after my contract finished

  • ChrisJordan1002
    Bob (@ChrisJordan1002) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Virgin Media are unambiguously the worst company I’ve ever dealt with. They had the recent ruling against them for a reason. Profit over Compassion every single time…

  • leftcheats
    Edson (@leftcheats) reported

    @youfibre After being with Virgin Media / Diamond Cable / NTL for over 3 decades.. I was worried about switching. Well, I made the switch. 1000mb Up 1000mb Down £25 for a 12 month period. Zero downtime as I post. AMAZING. Keep this up. TOP TOP Service Provider.

    @virginmedia your service is absolutely terrible. Several messages, phone calls and still not resolved my issue

  • superpaddiepads
    estevén (@superpaddiepads) reported

    @LessGrumpy @virginmedia Whenever I’ve had issues with Virgin it’s never been a UK call centre I’ve spoken to. Tend to avoid now but just left again after a couple of years of thankfully issue free broadband. Moved to PlusNet which is Openreach rebranded but far cheaper.
