  • lizdeoli liz de oliveira (@lizdeoli) reported from Sudbury, England

    @virginmedia I have rung twice waited over 2 hours and still can’t sort out a request to cancel an account for someone who has learning difficulties and is escaping domestic violence. Disgraceful

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia The worst bit you get one letter on 6th Nov saying your case is being investigated & apologising for taking 8 weeks to sort, two days later the case is closed as I didn’t reply to a letter 4 weeks earlier I never received!!!!

  • starbuck2003 Julian Joyce (@starbuck2003) reported from Elmstead Market, England

    @virginmedia Hi i moved house on the 13th Dec and i contacted virginmedia that i would like to close my account. I have yet to have a final bill from yourselves and i had to cancel the direct debit as this would have gone out tomorrow for the full amount!

  • lizdeoli liz de oliveira (@lizdeoli) reported from Sudbury, England

    @virginmedia Amazing how you won’t sort out the problem with the account holder but you’ll speak to someone else about the account without the account holder’s permission!

  • lbjdenny Leon Denny (@lbjdenny) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Issues have been far from fixed!! My router rebooted itself 5 times today. This is not acceptable when I could be working on customer systems attempting to support them with their IT when I can't even rely on my own ISP to deliver a decent service is embarrassing!

  • carlclark52 Carl Robert Clark (@carlclark52) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia what appalling customer service. I have phoned 4 times, the issue hasn't been resolved, and the last operator hung up on me! #poorservice #timetochange

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia That was a wired connection. It downloaded in the end (all 92GB), I will keep a lookout for issues.

  • Sylviefitz63 Sylvie Fitzgerald (@Sylviefitz63) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Yes I did.... no comment on the level of service that I received....

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia @ruskin147 It’s also affecting your 4G mobile data service so every time your broadband goes down so does the 4G and we lose all of our internet access.

  • mookstar10 mookstar* (@mookstar10) reported from Ipswich District, England

    Today I Make the switch from @virginmedia to @TalkTalk. These guys at talk talk know customer service. I haven’t had a problem. I suggest we all go talk talk

  • clairemorti Claire mortimer (@clairemorti) reported

    @virginmedia My partner owns a small business which heavily relies on connection he has had to refuse work as our network is unstable and you’ve really let us down. It’s cost thousands in lost work and additional costs

  • ninickrees Gowervannika (@ninickrees) reported

    @virginmedia Why is my 5G contract phone rarely achieving even a 3G signal of late. Genuine question - what am I paying for?

  • UnwantedLife_Me Unwanted Life (@UnwantedLife_Me) reported

    @sarahjcreative @virginmedia I've already tried complaining to VM on the forum and to several customer customer support and technical support teams but they won't do anything. It's clearly a problem affecting a lot of people in a certain area, but they don't care

  • CHUME1BHOY Colin Hume (@CHUME1BHOY) reported

    @virginmedia what’s the issue in the KY8 4SG area, no TV or internet? Work was meant to have been carried out on the network on Wednesday to upgrade the system, why is there problems?

  • andrew_folga Andrew Folga (@andrew_folga) reported

    @virginmedia collected past 30 days and charged for the kit (I was actually waiting for the return box for the kit since I cancelled services with you on the 9th but never received it). I finally received the return box this Tuesday the 4th and went straightaway to post it from

  • DanBassrunner RunaChallenge (@DanBassrunner) reported

    @virginmedia I registered for SMS updates but didn’t receive any. However the updates on the app from yesterday about estimated fix: 1. 17:05; 2. 22:30; 3. 10:00; 4. 14:00 - it’s ridiculous. I wonder what update will come at 2pm 🤔

  • sebbiechu Sebastian (@sebbiechu) reported

    How are we meant to work from home if your services are still down since yesterday. Not everyone has unlimited phone data 😒 @virginmedia

  • DanBassrunner RunaChallenge (@DanBassrunner) reported

  • Suhethan2 Lanky (@Suhethan2) reported

    @virginmedia mate fix ur broaband i cant even finish my business work aand ur cutting network every 15 minutes

  • Anita_Squires ⚫️🌚⚪️🟣🎗️Anita Squires (@Anita_Squires) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, that is the number that cut me off. I was annoyed but I stayed polite. I know the person on the phone is not to blame but it is frustrating to be passed to three different people and have to explain the situation 3 times with no solution.
