Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England@markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

-
Keith A Pearson (@keithapearson) reported@MartinSLewis By far the worst company I've had the misfortune of dealing with in recent years. If Ofcom truly had any teeth, it'd ban Virgin Media from operating in our telecoms sector. A truly dreadful company.
-
Septimus McClonk (@clm2071) reportedAbsolutely appalling service from @virginmedia - haven't sent me the equipment you promised, the equipment you have sent is broken on arrival. And over half an hour waiting on chat and call to speak to someone. Absolute joke
-
WimpingEgo (@WimpingEgo) reported@EE At what stage of the order would I get a set up/ connection date please. @virginmedia have let me down far to many times so looking to switch to a new ISP
-
Rosario Munday (@RosMunday27) reported@virginmedia glad Virgin have been taken to task. It took me months to leave, services cut off for no reason, I'm disabled left me without a phone when I complained they would put me on hold and cut me off My last complaint wasn't even acknowledged let alone dealt with! Shameful
-
davy patterson (@DavySdpatterson) reported@virginmedia ! Slap it up you ! #yeeeeeeo! #the worst stress and worry ever ! #never ever again 👎
-
ElJaffoGuzman (@ElJaffoGuzman) reportedBeen with @virginmedia for 7 years now. The best "deal" they can offer me is 500mbs down (boosted to 1gb because of my cell plan) for £51 a month. Or I can swap to youfiber, £30 a month for 2gb up/down 🥴 @virginmedia you aren't the best choice no more. customer retention sucks.
-
Jags Arthurson (@JagsArthurson) reportedWhen @virginmedia tells you to update your Tivo Box to the latest version, DON'T DO IT! It is truly RUBBISH There is not one single thing about it that is not WORSE than the previous version. So bad that I will be leaving Virgin as soon as I can
-
Dave (@UK_DC_One) reportedThat new @virginmedia upgrade, my advice to anyone thinking about it, DON'T DO IT!! We've had nothing but problems in our house with the WiFi since, especially in hot weather, it cuts out and drops out. Nothing but connectivity issues. It's awful. Router getting red hot constantly Helpline no use So what is the problem Virgin Media? When this was set up, your engineer assured us there would be no issues. Router checked, brand new boxes installed, so why is this happening? Seriously thinking of cancelling my contract because I'm not getting the help or service im paying for right now
-
Dr Elaine Rust (@elainerust) reported@virginmedia despite your £28 million fine for preventing the switching process, I find you are doing this to me. So much for resolving the issues and reviewing your processes. You’ve cancelled my request TWICE. This has to stop. @Ofcom
-
Christine💙 (@jaluch) reportedNo service at all from @virginMedia nobody to take responsibily for any problems, no manager to speak to its tough we dont care that the attitude.
