    @virginmedia why are you service do crap??

  • 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!

  • 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??

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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

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

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

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

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

  • _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!

  • _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.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

    @virginmedia Hi my Virgin Media Broadband has been down all day and all I get is check back in 24h on the website?! Not any information ?

  • morse64 ian Morson (@morse64) reported

    @virginmedia what an absolute joke... cant access online due to this new Virgin media / O2 login. I do not have access to the email account and rang customer services to change it. Still no joy

  • rockorstone rockorstone (@rockorstone) reported

    Is anyone else having problems with virgin media this year, so poor and it has gone down again estimated fix 6 aug!!!! #virginmedia

  • scaramanga3ball Real Reptilian💙 (@scaramanga3ball) reported

    @virginmedia What's happening virgin media? Can't gain access to my account because you've decided to make me link it to an O2 id account, I'm not at O2 customer. What is the point of offering a service which clearly doesn't work.

  • Sherl06303 David Holmes (@Sherl06303) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t think I have the time and dedication needed to be a Virgin Media customer any more. Sky beckons.

  • womaninblue1050 Marilyn (@womaninblue1050) reported

    @AlisonLMercer @O2 @virginmedia Yes there are loads affected. There’s a Facebook group specifically for problems with Virgin and this problem is highlighted significantly.

  • womaninblue1050 Marilyn (@womaninblue1050) reported

    @virginmedia @chaitu99 Unbelievable that it’s taking so long. The trouble shooting step in your link is saying to register for a Virgin Media account but we already have an account.

  • mjaanensen mjaanensen (@mjaanensen) reported

    @virginmedia please can someone contact me. I no longer have access to the e-mail address associated with my account, therefore cannot login to my virgin media and cannot change the e-mail address associated. Help! Also your internet is awful at the moment but can't run any tests

  • Christo24382100 Christopher Aveyard (@Christo24382100) reported

    @virginmedia Believe it or not, still no change. It says that the email linked to my account is [object OBJECT] so I can’t link it to my virgin media 02. I’ve told god knows how many advisors this and no one is helping. I’m getting tempted to cancel and go back to sky

  • Christo24382100 Christopher Aveyard (@Christo24382100) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been with Virgin Media for two weeks and haven’t been able to log into my account, I’ve spoken to so many advisors who tell me to wait anywhere between 24-72 hours and try again. Terrible costumer service so far, no one seems to have a clue what they’re doing.
