  • groom_donna Donna Groom (@groom_donna) reported from St Albans, England

    @virginmedia shit service, spent 25 mins getting through to sort out my non existent broadband and was told they would charge me to get my devices right then hung up when I said I would not pay for a service I am already paying over £80 pm for.

  • F_O_I_D Alison Mitchell (@F_O_I_D) reported from Luton, England

    Virgin media is down for maintenance. No WiFi and no tv. Guess I’ll have a mix.

  • midnightmaggie Sophie Lonergan (@midnightmaggie) reported from Luton, England

    @virginmedia 1.5 hours and counting on the phone to virgin to try and sort out the wifi. Worst service ever, been with them for 3 months and had the slowest speed we have ever had! Don’t use them, bunch of cowboys! 😡

  • RHerbert95 Rory Herbert (@RHerbert95) reported from Dunstable, England

    @virginmedia It's for the broadband, we've had issues for the past few days and speeds of <1mbps, the automated hotline said there were intermitent issues and we didn't have a chance to talk to anyone because the hold was too long

  • lewishamprodigy lewishamiltonprodigy (@lewishamprodigy) reported from Luton, England

    @virginmedia im really upset this is not the service im paying for and i wish to make another complaint about why an engineer would lie about coming to a visit when they ever showed up whatsoever

  • goitsagch Nick Daniels (@goitsagch) reported from Luton, England

    @virginmedia No, I had to admit defeat after 50 minutes. I had things to do! I have a new Virgin Mobile 4G SIM and I need to transfer the number from and old Virgin 3G SIM to it. If you could help with that, that would be marvelous.

  • alisdairrmsmith Alisdair Smith (@alisdairrmsmith) reported from Berkhamsted, England

    @adampowley @VirginMediaCorp They don't have any provision for anything that might be described as customer service let alone anything that would allow their customers to communicate with them #VirginMedia

  • jamanifin Toby Weston (@jamanifin) reported from St Albans, England

    @virginmedia I wouldn’t look forward to my response, it won’t be complimentary. You consistently give poor performance over wired connections and your customer service peps seem to neither care nor be in a position to do anything. I pay £46 per month for the privilege!

  • nannynoonoo1 noo noo (@nannynoonoo1) reported from Leighton Buzzard, England

    @virginmedia Hold on someone just picked up the phone .... not going to get too excited as they normally hang up

  • goitsagch Nick Daniels (@goitsagch) reported from Luton, England

    @virginmedia I don't have 2 hours spare to sit on hold right now. Maybe I'll try the text service later when I've got some time. Got other things to do now. Thanks for your help anyway.

  • nannynoonoo1 noo noo (@nannynoonoo1) reported from Leighton Buzzard, England

    @virginmedia HELP

  • NormskinutsMark Mark (@NormskinutsMark) reported from Hitchin, England

    @virginmedia Gave up on the message service and rang you. WiFi signal keeps dropping even when in same room as the router. No signal upstairs. Virgin booster installed. Box was tested and found a fault. Reset. Will keep an eye.upgraded faster speed paying a lot expect better

  • DEJPett Daniel Pett (@DEJPett) reported from Aldbury, England

    Any tech journalists out there looking into @virginmedia poor customer service, ping @jonnypett for a chat.

  • NormskinutsMark Mark (@NormskinutsMark) reported from Hitchin, England

    @virginmedia existing customer with you for quite a few years paying £139. Same deal Black Friday being offered only £79 wtf. You are shafting loyal customers

  • goitsagch Nick Daniels (@goitsagch) reported from Luton, England

    @virginmedia I've already had a long online chat earlier, but only the phone operators can help apparently. I just can't ever get through. The waiting times are ridiculous

  • Jacquiharding14 Jacqui harding (@Jacquiharding14) reported from Luton, England

    @virginmedia She also doesnt do twitter. What she needs is a manager to listen and just sort the problem. Its simple to sort so they just need to. The phobe number they gave her used all her allowance and cut her off midcall today and she is with virgin mobile

  • _M155Y_ Kate Welling 🔶️🔶️🔶️ (@_M155Y_) reported from St Albans, England

    @anemoneproject @HertsFRSControl Virgin Media still appears to be down.

  • goitsagch Nick Daniels (@goitsagch) reported from Luton, England

    @virginmedia I need to move a mobile number from an old 3G Virgin SIM to a new 4G one I got as part of my Oomph package, but I don't remember my 'telephone password' so the text chat people couldn't help, so I need to reset that somehow I think.

  • alisdairrmsmith Alisdair Smith (@alisdairrmsmith) reported from Berkhamsted, England

    @SkyHelpTeam that's on the Sky Sports App as a @virginmedia customer but they don't provide customer services obvs

  • THoF__ The House of Flowers (@THoF__) reported

    Finally cancelled @virginmedia. Is there another company that manages to have so many customers despite having such famously bad customer service?

  • Jademscholes Jade M Scholes (@Jademscholes) reported

    @virginmedia No internet since Wednesday at BD19 6 - Constantly told will be sorted by the next day and its not. Not good enough - paying for a service we rely on and you are not doing anything about it.
