    @virginmedia Please if you’re providing a terrible internet service don’t use the phase, ‘Oops. Our bad’

  • schizoid007 John Lacey (@schizoid007) reported from Gateshead, England

    Can't wait till my contract is up with @virginmedia to move back to @skytv probably the worst TV experience I've ever had. Horrendous hardware, UI and Operating System

  • McGannJohn John McGann (@McGannJohn) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia After 2 hours on hold I got through to a nice guy in the call centre, he couldn't work out the issue so I've got no Internet for 2 days until an engineer comes out. Love paying for services I don't get...

  • McGannJohn John McGann (@McGannJohn) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia amazing concept of telling people who have no Internet at home to log onto an Internet chat room to get help with getting their Internet back, do I get a refund for the data used to tether my laptop just to get access to customer service?

  • ruthemmj Ruth Bennett (@ruthemmj) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Other than checking the plugs and the cable connections - your light indication service doesn’t work.. it made me run and run and run diagnostics and engineers in 3/4 days isn’t good enough - still didn’t repost any fault even saying the internet wasn’t working.. RUBBISH

  • ruthemmj Ruth Bennett (@ruthemmj) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Hahahaha talk about bullshit - had to change to sky because of your **** service

  • fionajohnson__ fiona johnson (@fionajohnson__) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia wifi down in NE2 area????

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia are you going to respond or do you just pick and chose? This is disgusting service. Over 70 quid a month for half a service!!!!!! Cancellation in Feb when my contract Is due at this rate.

  • bev_middleton Bev Middleton (@bev_middleton) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia furious that I have been double charged for a bill, then I try to message support and its been over 1 week and nothing done, single parent who already paid the bill is not happy

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia, you've text me a link after your phone robot tested my equipment, the link doesn't work. This has been on going for 3 to 4 weeks. I've been paying for a service I've not been receiving. I need to speak to an actual person!!!!

  • peterat50 peter atkinson #FBPE (@peterat50) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia you are impossible to deal with !! I’ve been trying to contact you since 4/10 to tell you I’m moving can someone please contact me as i don’t have the life force to waste listening to terrible music whilst on hold

  • schizoid007 John Lacey (@schizoid007) reported from Gateshead, England

    Anybody else's @virginmedia Box absolutely **** when changing channels just goes to a black screen or sound or vice versa?

  • McGannJohn John McGann (@McGannJohn) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia great customer service tactics, tell people theres going to be a long hold time, when they get to an hour on hold just hang up on them because they clearly don't need Internet any time soon...

  • Lew91057024 Lew (@Lew91057024) reported

    @virginmedia Oh and they've got my name wrong on the account so can't use the app as my email is set up wrong and won't let me login #CustomerService

  • smdjukic Stefan Djukic (@smdjukic) reported

    @virginmedia how am I meant to call you about my 5 day old intermittent connection in area 21 if you’re 03454541111 number just says “unavailable”. Losing the will to live with your service

  • violetta_ann Ann Williamson (@violetta_ann) reported

    @virginmedia in touch around 10 days ago about new contract. Got new deal. Promised no extra charges till 26th June 2022 (your phone asst. in Belfast). Letter today saying price going up by £3.50 per month from 1st March 2021. Please help.

  • angelstorm13 Ella A Cutler (@angelstorm13) reported

    Possibly the worst customer service ever. After waiting an hour to explain how slow my broadband is your rep suggested upping my capacity. How's that meant to help if I regularly get 2mbps instead of 250mbps! Don't tell me you're increasing my bill! #virgin #virginmedia

  • LauraW279 Laura Delaney (@LauraW279) reported from Coatbridge, Scotland

    @virginmedia I want to cancel but can't get through via phone call. It says online to cancel i need to call yous ????
