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

    @virginmedia Please can you assist before I take this further @richardbranson as your customer care is certainly way off the mark. Kind regards Phil Cook

  • 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!!!!

  • 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.

  • leezaloops Leeza Morley (@leezaloops) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Absolutely disgusting service from Virgin. Rang to get refund for sky sports since lockdown and no help whatsoever. And I can’t make a complaint apparently as it will be automatically closed!!

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

    @virginmedia good morning. I have just spoken to my "old "phone and broadband provider. Who say that my number ecpirt ti yourselves failed. So I am now paying for 2 bb and phone.. please help.. thanks.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia No issues with BB but was expecting nice easy switch for my LL number. But no thats not happened... appears I will be paying for 2 providers for 2 weeks as number switch not requested... to be told when spoke to your "customer SMS advisor" that its 2 weeks from installation...

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia I have had enough of your poor service 😡 talking to people who lie, can’t answer my questions so then hang up!! I have 3 mobile contacts with you my 2 daughters & my own, it’s a shocking service. All I want is the deal I signed up to 😤

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia Had enough - paying for a service - not getting what I pay for & just getting know where fast!!!!

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

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

  • kavi1238 kavi (@kavi1238) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Can u tell the area status in area 31. On the app it sats all good. But my wifi is turning off and on. And being really ******* slow

  • leezaloops Leeza Morley (@leezaloops) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia No I didn’t and I don’t remember receiving one. I have checked all my emails from you and nothing. I rang a couple of days ago to ask for a discount and was basically told to get lost. I spend £100 a month with you guys and was shocked at the service. Account name Lisa Morley.

  • 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!

  • PaulEmmett2 Paul Emmett (@PaulEmmett2) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Bout time, been having problems for the last week, even when I spoke to someone on phone and via text services I was informed there is no problem and I will have to put up with it

  • 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.

  • jonewilson Jon Wilson (@jonewilson) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia it is frustrating that the service is intermittent, but i understand if there are problems. What’s unforgivable is incorrect information

  • paulodnufc Paul O'D (@paulodnufc) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve gave up. I move house tomorrow so I just hope the new connection is without issues

  • sjab88040148 sjab (@sjab88040148) reported

    @virginmedia one of the worst companies and the service is awful! I’ve had bad connection for the past 3 months and can’t even speak to anyone! Getting to a point where I can’t perform in my job and could get fired ! Is this how virgin media is? Makes people vulnerable

  • GreaterCall GreaterCall (@GreaterCall) reported

    @virginmedia your support team are incredibly rude and dismissive. Incredibly unhappy with your sevice. I have a genuine complaint which they have repeatedly closed citing 'education given' as well as lying about trying to ring me. Very poor.

  • sjab88040148 sjab (@sjab88040148) reported

    @richardbranson @virginmedia Richard you need to really provide feedback to virgin media as their service is AWFUL and I’m on the verge of being fired due to not performing my role whilst working from home and virgin not fixing my internet!

  • chriswoods84 Woodsy (@chriswoods84) reported

    @virginmedia Not unless you can give me the booster I'm entitled to for free? I've quite enjoyed being on hold for about 4 hours this week. Great hold music 🙄 Loyal customer too. So annoyed

  • Lohoris Lohoris (@Lohoris) reported

    @virginmedia It has said I'm in queue, but it also said I had a "mobile billing issue". Will the agent be able to help me with broadband instead, or is it a different department? I work from home and I need this to be fixed ASAP.

  • sjab88040148 sjab (@sjab88040148) reported

    @virginmedia THE WORST SERVICE IVE EVER RECIEVED!! I’ve spent nearly 5 hours trying to speak to someone from virgin media and the connection is soo bad!!! And getting through to someone is impossible!

  • Darren6270 Darren (@Darren6270) reported

    @virginmedia my hub just stopped working. Have green flashing on the power light. Have followed all the fault finding online and it’s not working. Asked me to download the connection app which I’ve done but it does not appear as a network to connect. Now what ?? Urgent

  • Northamptonbag1 Northamptonbaggie (@Northamptonbag1) reported
