  • Ian1603 Ian1558 (@Ian1603) reported

    Even trying to use Twitter via @virginmedia is a joke. Over priced, poor service. I used to love them but now...........

  • Kevd86 Kev (@Kevd86) reported

    @virginmedia What is happening with the internet in the wa11 area. Where on day 4 that where not getting the full service we are paying for im getting really fed up of having no wifi

  • sarahgaryozzy sarah baxter (@sarahgaryozzy) reported

    @virginmedia Are you kidding me! What's the point in having the WhatsApp service when apparently there is nothing that can be achieved on it! Can't speak to technical support, don't appear to get any support and was informed yesterday on WhatsApp by the way

  • sport_simon Simon Austin (@sport_simon) reported

    The @virginmedia strategy for retaining customers seems to be not to allow them to cancel. Can't cancel online/ via email & they don't answer phone (on hold for 1 hour plus a couple of times) Wrote a letter to address provided on their website and no response to that either.

  • Quinnaay Luke Quinn (@Quinnaay) reported

    @virginmedia are the worst company in the world, Had issues for 6 months and the technical team can’t help and the complaints team just repeat the same copy and paste rubbish telling me to ring technical. How do I get through to a normal human??? #virginmedia

  • NatalieHewing Natalie Hewing (@NatalieHewing) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and have rang multiple times over the past year. I logged a complaint only to receive a letter saying theyd book an engineer and replace the hub if needed. I rang to do this and they said i had to pay £25. I already pay £60 for no internet

  • Hmartin1Martin Martin (@Hmartin1Martin) reported

    @virginmedia This is a joke I need to do your work then send you a picture that doesn't help the fault when it is raining heavy that I loose all internet due to sub surface box that floods
