  • gemmajarrett Gemma Jarrett (@gemmajarrett) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I'm trying to get hold of someone to talk about my account and service but can't get through to anyone - how can I talk to someone?

  • Paul07852224 Paul (@Paul07852224) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Hi, done the reboot and pin reboot but still dropping out drastically. The speeds I was getting to the speeds I am getting is really bad

  • Strattsy51 Steve ✊🏻 (@Strattsy51) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia why is live chat taking absolutely ages to connect me to anyone? I’d like to cancel my service, but if I was joining as a new customer I’m put through immediately. Are you making it difficult to cancel on purpose?

  • RohanAtaa Rohan Ataa (@RohanAtaa) reported from Great Notley, England

    @virginmedia @deantorris Why you guys don't have call back service?

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia Yes and I am doing it again now. No network issue has been found

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia I have checked and there are no faults. I am still having issues over a week later and this is totally unacceptable! Two children trying to take part of zoom lessons which they keep dipping in and out of as the connection just keeps dropping! Unable to get through to you on 150

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia So what can be done to improve the technical issues we are having? Could it be our equipment?

  • whealie Chris Wheal (@whealie) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Have you ever not been too busy? You have the worst customer service known to man. Every comedian compares bad customer service to you. You are the benchmark for bad. I have been trying to get in touch for five hours now. Chat, phone, Twitter and SMS.

  • Paul07852224 Paul (@Paul07852224) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Hi, yeah done that - no issues

  • Garyonline1 Gary dorrington (@Garyonline1) reported from Chipping Ongar, England

    @virginmedia No apparently there are ongoing issues in my area Cm5 9az which you are hoping to resolved by the 5th but not definite i just wish you would inform customers when these faults occur rather than us chasing you up

  • CMS200 Chris S (@CMS200) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Not very helpful. If your company can’t fix the issue, why would the community be able to? Spent another hour on the phone again today, again being told I will get a call back in 45 mins. It didn’t happen. Still no email!

  • OohLookItsEmma Emma Hoyle (@OohLookItsEmma) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia a conundrum. If I call your service centre to cancel my service I get routed to the website that doesn’t allow me to cancel or I get routed through to a team that don’t answer. Do I just cancel my direct debit? Then at least you’ll know I’m not longer your customer.

  • Tinalc69 Tina Clark (@Tinalc69) reported from London, England

    Not very good @virginmedia complaint C-2901212518 emailed to say they tried to call. No they haven’t. No incoming calls registered and nothing on my mobile! Didn’t even remotely address the complaint in the email. Please call me!

  • Garyonline1 Gary dorrington (@Garyonline1) reported from Chipping Ongar, England

    @virginmedia We have had no coverage over the weekend in december we were without service for 10 days this seems to be an ongoing problem which you are failing to cure

  • CridlandKeith Keith (@CridlandKeith) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Still not been able to get through to the support team 😢

  • matthewcarter7 Matthew Carter (@matthewcarter7) reported from London, England

    @TobySutton17 @SophieEB @virginmedia They are terrible! Loads of people see the high speed and go for it (like I did!) but the reality is very different. Avoid. 👍🏻

  • Flaminhaystack Antonia (@Flaminhaystack) reported from London, England

    @jenniseex @bt_uk @virginmedia Yep. I have very poor Internet in my home and pay large prices. Everytime I phone to get it rectified, I'm told there is nothing wrong with the WiFi and my house is the issue. Pathetic. I detest them

  • Garyonline1 Gary dorrington (@Garyonline1) reported from Chipping Ongar, England

    @virginmedia Also it would be nice for someone to point out what is the problem we are currently having.

  • Flaminhaystack Antonia (@Flaminhaystack) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I've had engineers round from Virgin media on several occasions. Once I had no Internet for weeks because the engineer wired up the connection to the wrong house outside and I didn't even get a refund for the lack of service.

  • RobHPayne @RobHPayne 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@RobHPayne) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I am trying to contact your customer service team regarding #nuisancecalls plaguing my 84 yr old (isolating) Dad, all numbers online are unobtainable or recorded mssgs which cut off - im right in thinking you are a tele-communications provider aren't I ?

  • KellyTh61164501 blank (@KellyTh61164501) reported

    @virginmedia It is yes. But to avoid it I've now set the phone to answer with volume up. And hang up with the power button. Touch screen is useless.

  • paintergary Gary Thorburn🇪🇺 (@paintergary) reported

    @virginmedia anybody manning you message service? Started conversation an hour ago no answer

  • LunnMartin martin lunn (@LunnMartin) reported

    @virginmedia our complaint number is COM104223117 all we want is a refund as new sim cards failed we returned sim cards seems to me you have closed complaint no one interested in returning calls or texts we will be seeking legal action in due course

  • HiMartinHere Martin (@HiMartinHere) reported

    In the market for a new #broadband provider this #BlackFriday? Do not, at all, choose @VirginMedia. The service is terrible and the customer service is bordering on disrespectful. Sky has some great offers on.

  • JoJagiello Joanna Jagiello (@JoJagiello) reported

    @virginmedia So you are happy to just leave it at that? You think its acceptable to let a customer try all these channels, daily, over and over again for weeks on end? Would you be happy with that? I doubt it. And this is why I believe you are simply taking the micky out of me.

  • LunnMartin martin lunn (@LunnMartin) reported

    @virginmedia I sent texts to. Number given in previous message but your text service broken down you just don't want to refund our outstanding £313.17 or reply to our second letter we sent to you 29sept we only received one letter dated 21st Sept

  • miss_vic81 miss_vic81 (@miss_vic81) reported

    @virginmedia Yes...and the connect app has never worked so can’t work out what the problem is via the app

  • MaverickMark mark palmer (@MaverickMark) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband down several times in last few hours. 20-30 times down a day for month. Over an hour to get through on phone and then dropped twice. Call up to cancel and that option terminates call and asks me to call back. I want to leave please arrange.

  • roband67 Andrew Robson (@roband67) reported

    @virginmedia Sadly not, states no service issue

  • jfk9877 ice (@jfk9877) reported

    @virginmedia hi my broadband keeps going down how to a report an issue to you guys on the website?
