  • 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?

    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

    @virginmedia This is not a new issue, its been months. The wifi keeps dropping all day everyday. I believe its an external issue i need an engineer. And how do i complain about the service i am receiving?? I am paying for something iam not receiving.

    Nothing like @virginmedia's **** broadband coverage to kick off the week. No connection for 1 hour now

    @virginmedia Your 08000643777 or 03454541111 are not working properly! They not go back to the beginning after my area reference!!!

  • Rashidfreed
    Rashid Iqbal ☔ (@Rashidfreed) reported from Kensington, England

    @Rhodri_H_Davies @virginmedia It's #virginontheridiculous that @virginmedia have had the same lame excuse for their 'temporary', nightmarish wait times on their 'helpline' for 12 months now Who else gets the dropped calls as soon as you mention a bad broadband connection? Were trying to #homeschool here!

  • AsadMoghal
    Asad Moghal (@AsadMoghal) reported from Kensington, England

    Why does @virginmedia have the worst customer service - the chatbot won’t work, the telephone service disconnects straight away - why bother with the service?

  • djbosher
    dj bosher (@djbosher) reported from Kensington, England

    Wifi fail incoming, **** you virgin media

  • GaborPfalzer
    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.

  • nickhooker
    Nick ****** (@nickhooker) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia has the very worst customer service of any company I have ever had to deal with. If you value your sanity DO NOT sign up with them to provide anything!

  • Marshall5Sharon
    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

  • WoleAdesemoye
    Wolé Adesemoye (@WoleAdesemoye) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia is by far the worst TV, broadband and telephone service I’ve received in 20. Customer service is appalling. I was just on the phone and the customer service personal just hung up on me. I just can’t wait to leave and go back to @SkyUK. #avoid #virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia Hi, I need assistance and I have not been able to contact the service

  • 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

    @EE do you offer broadband and TV similar to @virginmedia? I am looking to move away from Virgin as they have charged me a late payment fee which was down to an error they made.

  • osheaj77
    john o shea (@osheaj77) reported

    @ThomNolan Virgin media is gone to ****, they used to have every single game now they just have left over scraps , im definitely ditching virgin media and getting a streaming box

  • uk_pav
    Pavlova (@uk_pav) reported

    @virginmedia 18 months loyal, 1 Gig, zero issues. Renewal offer: £33 for 125 Mbps (250 Volt) – worse than new deals. Customer loyalty clearly means nothing.

    @virginmedia Trying to contact VM but 150 number and Live Chat link not working.

    @virginmedia I have Netflix as part of my deal. I’ve been told 4 times that an email will be with me in 24 hours. Still no email after 8 days. Everyone promised but no delivery’s. This seems to be a regular issue.

    AJ (@The_Broski_Boot) reported

    @virginmedia The estimated fix time was initially reported to be 6 May at 1pm Then we got told today at 6pm Now it’s back to 6 May at 1pm Surely we cannot be left without broadband and TV until Wednesday? Ref : F012271473

    @virginmedia your customer service is appalling. Keep being given the run around and no action. Hate to do it this way.

    @virginmedia if you fail to provide a promised refund and fail to deal with a complaint is there any hope that you might engage with me here?

    @virginmedia Its all good. Got customer service yesterday and new hub connected and working 🫡

  • StuartA17243
    Stuart Aird (@StuartA17243) reported

    @virginmedia After 30 years or so with #virginmedia (telewest days) the price hike as an existing customer has finally pushed me to switch £41 for 250meg todays special renewal price after an offer of £40 on the phone yesterday. Double speed is £27 with sky broadband.
