    @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

  • 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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • caneton81 Stuart Stretton (@caneton81) reported

    @virginmedia been trying to cancel my services for three days, each time on hold for over two hours but not getting anywhere…just because you want to increase my services by nearly £5 per month. Not acceptable. Now on hold again. Shocking!

  • larracroft Sue Jackson (@larracroft) reported

    @virginmedia How do I get an update w/out a reference?I’m on the line to Virgin Media to close my account and surprise surprise yet more issues&long wait times.I’ve lost all confidence and trust with VM. I’ve never come across such an incompetent company in my life!

  • jambar63 June Clarke (@jambar63) reported

    @virginmedia I am losing the will. Your customer service is terrible. Trying to put a new customer order through for the last 3 days and it’s been atrocious. Help

  • deezed David Zell (@deezed) reported

    @blobbybobber @virginmedia That's happened to me at Virginmedia more than once. Very very frustrating. I can't prove it but in two cases it felt as though the agent had pulled the plug as my specific issue around wrong billing or contract renewal was too much of a hassle!!

  • YuuzziiWasTaken Yuuzzii (@YuuzziiWasTaken) reported

    @virginmedia can you try and fix ur servers instead of sitting on ur *** all day doing nothing

  • MickyLeast Mick (@MickyLeast) reported

    @virginmedia @WaynePhair You string along on texts for hours then stop replying and passing back to ‘Toni’. WhatsApp, text, phone….all not letting me cancel. This must be illegal. I want to cancel but you won’t let me.

  • AarronCrumley Aarron Crumley (@AarronCrumley) reported

    @virginmedia I've tried calling 2x times & I can't get through. Being advised that this is due to a technical issue on your end? I need to cancel services but can't get through both on 29/01 & today. Numbers called - 0345454111 & 08000522001 Plz tell me how I can cancel?

  • dirty_hb ***** HB (@dirty_hb) reported

    @virginmedia BREAKING NEWS even when open zero customer service given! The worst customer service and set up of ANY company in ANY industry! .@haveigotnews #VMworstcompanyEVER

  • markapool mark porter (@markapool) reported

    @virginmedia double my broadband cost within 6 months. Never got to the bottom of a “dodgy” internet connection, charge me for not paying by direct debit and now kept 1 hour 25 mins on hold attempting to cancel my contract #excellentcustomerservice

  • gbhswindon1969 gbhswindon (@gbhswindon1969) reported

    Does anyone know of a snail mail address for @virginmedia? My only option is to send a signed for letter giving my 30 days notice. I can’t bear this lack of customer service any more. @SkyUK, I’ll call you later this evening to arrange a new contract with you.
