    @virginmedia No. I received an email stating I didn't need to sign a new contract and it was classed as a service change.

  • Pakitodomenech Francisco Domenech 🇵🇸 (@Pakitodomenech) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia you service is just below zero. Can’t get any connection. Just please give my money back and I move to something better. Thanks

  • dovermonkey Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia So your code of practice section 3. Your case will remain open for 28 days so you'll have enough time to review and consider our proposal. Erm you've closed it after 2 days. Your service gets better

  • shipp_natalie Natalie Shipp (@shipp_natalie) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia none of the apps are working on my tv, can you advise how I can fix this please?

  • dovermonkey Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Dover, England

    @virginmedia so you don't have a complaints team yet you advise to ring x number to raise a complaint. Misleading information re when a call can be pulled to listen to. Told twice 72 hours, 96 hours gone by and now being told 30-40 days.

  • _drewitt Lauren Drewitt (@_drewitt) reported from Smeeth, England

    @virginmedia and after a previous phone call a few weeks ago where your adviser said we could write a letter of complaint, we have still received no response in writing as requested and today been told it’s not your policy to reply? Terrible service!

  • TheIronHammer26 #GSBOUT #GSBOUT (@TheIronHammer26) reported from Folkestone, England

    When @virginmedia have put you into a new bundle tv contract without your say so and when you try to cancel they say there's 14 months outstanding Naughty naughty

  • Pakitodomenech Francisco Domenech 🇵🇸 (@Pakitodomenech) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia Watching the England game and the internet just stopped. What it’s going on lately with your service??

  • Lynn17451723 Lynn (@Lynn17451723) reported from Whitfield, England

    @virginmedia What a joke. My partner, a loyal customer for 16yrs. He left due to very poor service. Now suddenly without notice you have blocked his email address. Very important emails that he can't retrieve. warning him would have been helpful he could have got his contacts

  • jiginthebox Richard Esdale (@jiginthebox) reported from Dover, England

    @virginmedia I have had no choice but to take this matter further and make contact with #ofcom and the communications ombudsman - for the disgusting customer service for a problem ongoing for about 3 months! Get the SAME text every single day then NOTHING! 😡 @ShieldVoC

  • voose_lagina Trash Panda 🦝 (@voose_lagina) reported from Dover, England

    Running on about 4 hours of broken sleep, woken up with a cracking headache, cramps and Virgin Media is down. Life is hard.

  • D2SDKATO SD KATO & TSD ECHO & DD PATCH (@D2SDKATO) reported from Dover, England

    @virginmedia Yes exactly where tahli is from I had one email back from a guy saying I would be contacted and not heard a thing !! Disgraceful service

  • dovermonkey Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Dover, England

    @zoebartlett Funny how @virginmedia say they have no access to accounts over social media yet yesterday I dealt with my issue finally over the same social media platform. They contradict themselves time after time.

  • DrPEDavies Dr Patrick Davies (@DrPEDavies) reported from Folkestone, England

    Virgin Media Customer Care Complaints Services always fails to come up with solutions. Rather, they continually offer verbose replies referring Customers elsewhere with endless phone numbers. Their standard is totally below the expected minimum!

  • chewgumforever Owen Kimm (@chewgumforever) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia been on hold for over an hour trying to get support with no response. There is no chat function online and no help for accessibility. Shocking customer service.

  • monkey1959neil Neil 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@monkey1959neil) reported from Whitfield, England

    @virginmedia No thanks ,it's just how I hear from people about your customer service

  • dovermonkey Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia Your email re complaint makes now sense. You've closed it but not said how it has been resolved? C-1703211599 Please advise

  • Bsid19451955 Bsid (@Bsid19451955) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia just when you really need Internet none! And fix time 16:00 today.

  • ralphspicer ralph spicer (@ralphspicer) reported from Dover, England

    @Jimbob_Du @_Kano_P Virgin media is the worst, I had a fault with my Vito box it took 4 months before customer service put me through to faults, explained what was happening to the person who answered immediately he said its a Vito fault...

  • _drewitt Lauren Drewitt (@_drewitt) reported from Smeeth, England

    @virginmedia another poor lengthy phone call with one of your customer service advisers following being mis-sold your services. Refusal to listen to our original telephone calls where we were mis-sold the service and refusal to accept any responsibility.

  • pennilessarcade Simon (@pennilessarcade) reported

    @virginmedia no internet since storm last night. Received a text to say this was fixed but still nothing. Live status has been inconsistent all day: says no issue when logged in, but down when the same postcode entered and no account name. Can't work from home full time like this

  • NathanLFC1996 NB* (@NathanLFC1996) reported

    Never go with @virginmedia for internet. Connection goes down atleast once a day. Just done it again, 5 hours till fixed. Never get any compensation as they fix before 2 days every time but then it fails the next day. Joke

  • MillwallDolbs4 Dolbs (@MillwallDolbs4) reported

  • BrianPelan Brian Pelan (@BrianPelan) reported

    @virginmedia What a lovely gesture. You charge me the full amount even though you didn’t provide a full service. I’m seriously impressed with the generosity of @virginmedia

  • Powell170 Carl Powell (@Powell170) reported

    @virginmedia right then, one very unhappy customer! I was under the impression that fiber broadband was the best and quickest you could have… have your 350mb deal and its ****!!! Had better connection and speeds with BT superfast broadband. How do I get out of your contract?

    @virginmedia Says there’s a TV issue. Will be fixed by 7 June. TWO days 😡. Not good enough.

  • powerandrea 🌺 (@powerandrea) reported

    Re the J word and trending Twitter. After weeks of shutting down and resetting itself our @virginmedia box finally went properly on the blink Thursday evening gone. No technician available until Tuesday. Think we've had a very lucky escape.
