  • Veganforever67 Vegan join the PCS Union (@Veganforever67) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia #virginmedia spoke to a very nice lady today from Virgin media who wanted to know why I was leaving Virgin after 10 minutes of me complaining on how bad Virgin has been extending my contract and all sorts of things she did apologise but I said it wasn't her fault

  • dreamboatsings Dreamboat (@dreamboatsings) reported from Tottenham, England

    Our @virginmedia internet goes down ALL THE TIME and it's been off for over a week and I'm nearly out of data so with my dying breath I curse Richard Branson.

  • AlistairParkes1 Alistair Parkes (@AlistairParkes1) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia logged out of my ‘Virgin TV Go’ & unable to log back in, I have been unsuccessfully repeatedly trying to reset my password for My Virgin Media, but unable - as keep getting same error message ‘DEF01’ adding ‘try again later’. Can you help me please? 🙏

  • edshots the world's most copied Edward Moore (@edshots) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia The next slot was 28th April which I would not be in and so have taken 5th May. A loyal customer of about 12 years this a complete let down after arranging today from a previous cancellation on your company's part.

  • islingtonlloyd Lloyd Child (@islingtonlloyd) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia No, memory was at zero when I turned the box on & went to recordings yesterday afternoon. Even the planned recordings were missing. It was about 50% used, but I never tried a Factory Reset yesterday, just turned off & on again, hoping that would fix it.

  • kevinri00714924 kevin richardson (@kevinri00714924) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia So someone fraudulently set up an account in my name. Because I don’t know the password to something I didn’t set up I’ve now spent 5 hours on the phone to 5 different @virginmedia reps and a debt recovery letter. Never use @virginmedia #badcustomerservice #stress

  • Veganforever67 Vegan join the PCS Union (@Veganforever67) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I think I may actually be free from #Virginmedia at last other times I phoned up I got someone who just basically lied to me and extending my contract but this time I phoned up to cancel the contract and actually spoke to a very nice man so hopefully it's all done

  • kevinri00714924 kevin richardson (@kevinri00714924) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia No the chat ended and I couldn’t get back into it obviously finished work. I got nothing he was trying. He found the account in question but couldn’t get in with security. And again I’ll add I never set up account so I don’t know password. I’m left hanging again

  • kevinri00714924 kevin richardson (@kevinri00714924) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia I’m pig sick of spending my time on the phone to not get a resolution. I’ll have another web chat and hope someone can finally see this issue out. Thanks

  • xfindingxemox Mona Lisa Saperstein (@xfindingxemox) reported from Wandsworth, England

    UK's biggest thieves? @virginmedia has been stealing money from me pretending they give internet service

  • Stefan_baisden Baisden 📸🎥 (@Stefan_baisden) reported from Southall, England

    @virginmedia now onto the second week of no contact. No help and no communication. Imagine trying to call someone at this billion dollar company just to open a business account. And you can’t even get through for 14 days. It’s pathetic. This 02 merger has finished them.

  • dreamboatsings Dreamboat (@dreamboatsings) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia It happens every month at the moment. My housemate spoke to someone on Wednesday (as it is his account) and they said it would be active by Thursday and it's still down.

  • haniehvidmar Hanieh Vidmar (@haniehvidmar) reported from Paddington, England

    @virginmedia I need to urgently speak to someone regarding an account! And the fact that you’ve non stop taken money out of the account and refuse to refund as well as cutting the service off when you’ve had payment

  • MSROPER10 S (@MSROPER10) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Its magically started to work on ethernet but it's not giving out a WiFi signal? What is going on?

  • edshots the world's most copied Edward Moore (@edshots) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia failed to turn up today for the rearranged date they couldn't make two weeks ago. Just turn up tomorrow, I shouldn't need to call you as it'll be the Edward Moore in Croydon you let down today.

  • ImaginaryCard MoMo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia The service status always says its fine but the Internet goes down at this time every single night. #virginmediadown

  • thelegoguard LegoGuard .... Ian (@thelegoguard) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Are you having problems with your website currently? Trying to log in to my account but I keep gett ' Bad Request' on any page I load...

  • kevinri00714924 kevin richardson (@kevinri00714924) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia Will this issue be resolved today

  • swami102 Swami (@swami102) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia letting know that my installation date is moved just before a day of the original date isn't very professional. When you guys fix yourself???

  • PaulG_Lon Paul Griffiths (@PaulG_Lon) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @DiageoLiam I think there’s a major issue with the internet / digital platforms. @itvlondon news has been affected all day. My @virginmedia connection down too.

  • NathanBullock15 Nathan Bullock (@NathanBullock15) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is a joke i need help with my mobile account but cannot get through to anyone

  • StephNgamvoulou Stéphane Ngamvoulou (@StephNgamvoulou) reported

    @virginmedia is everything alright with your services? It’s been months I’m paying for internet that works part time in my house which is ridiculous. Do you have any solution before I cancel my subscription and switch to another brand? Calling you doesn’t seem to work either.

  • PeterAl46942452 Peter Allison (@PeterAl46942452) reported

    @virginmedia This company has to have the worse customer interface of any public facing company on the planet.

  • Natcauthor Nat C (@Natcauthor) reported

    @virginmedia I HAVE BEEN CALLING YOU A FEW TIMES DURING THE DAY TO CANCEL MY CONTRACT AND YOU ARE HANGING THE PHONE AND TELLING ME YOU “CANT HEAR ME”

  • x__Kirsten__x Kirsten McCormick (@x__Kirsten__x) reported

    Customer service from @virginmedia is shocking. Been trying to get someone to reply to a message for over a week. Internet service is ridiculously poor and no one seems to care enough to help!

  • carinaratcliffe Carina Ratcliffe (@carinaratcliffe) reported

    @virginmedia can you confirm whether I can cancel my contract within a certain number of days after installation? Set up on Saturday and today I've got shocking connection. This is now good for me working from home. No issues like this when I was with BT

  • iiibz 🕶️ (@iiibz) reported

    @MowliiSama @virginmedia It's not as easy as that, they have their own definition of lack of service and some bullshit clauses in general like "we aren't liable for things that are deemed reasonably out of our control" but don't define what reasonable means in this context

  • swonderling Sammy Wonderling (@swonderling) reported

    @virginmedia I run a test this morning and it said we were ok but needed some updates but still no internet. I tried to call again and the recorded message is still the same that there is a problem in this postcode! We are paying for a service we aren’t receiving.

  • sukhdevKandhola Sukhdev Kandhola (@sukhdevKandhola) reported

    @virginmedia Can you send me the dedicated help number for Oomph customers pls ?

  • MowliiSama MVP🐯🐺 (@MowliiSama) reported

    @iiibz @virginmedia I swear if connection keeps dropping or you're not getting what you've paid for, you are eligible to cancel contract as soon as
