  • tommyewing84 Tom (@tommyewing84) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia our wifi drips out anything between 4 and 8 times a day. The app always says there are no issues. Getting pretty sick of it now. Looks like going back to @SkyUK is the only way.

  • Bunglebob66 Robert Bailey (@Bunglebob66) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia But we HAVE NOT MADE the call and because of the “cleverness” of these people, we are not willing to gamble with the investigation. It’s our word against yours! Your “Geeks” could say anything and we’re screwed! We will see out our contract and then CANCEL!!!!

  • sharonblaxland Sharon (@sharonblaxland) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia why oh why do you keep sending me paper bills AND charging me for them, I have never asked for a paper bill and have phone to cancel them twice 😡🤬 and this morning what do I get 😡😡😡

  • engineer59a Richard S (@engineer59a) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia 15 minutes wasted waiting on the phone till 9PM For the most awful internet service, 6 days now of truly awful service

  • Damboye Damilola Adeboye (@Damboye) reported from Tilbury, England

    Virgin media decided to add £3 to the bill But the broadband service’s poor ...@richardbranson ::: Your company or franchise , can do better

  • karl_holden Karl Holden (@karl_holden) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia the service is deteriorating. Time to review your performance and reveal the source of your problems before your customer base starts to become even more disenchanted.

  • KudaLudaLegend1 Kuda Madzikanda (@KudaLudaLegend1) reported from Gravesend, England

    Seriously getting towards 24hr broadband outage..Can someone tell me if I can cancel my contract as technically @virginmedia have not met their contractual obligation🤔

  • WUFC2005 Football 4 All (@WUFC2005) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia nothing but issues. 2G & 5G always stops working. Updates happens when ever it feels like. And every time I contact Virgin, it's like talking to a 6 year old.

  • engineer59a Richard S (@engineer59a) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia WHAT AN AWFUL SERVICE YOU ARE PROVIDING! Internet down over 1 hour, your automated service hangs up when saying it’s going to test my line and when I ring and go to ‘ want to leAve’ that’s a 10 min+ hang on phone Sort yourselves out Virgin Media😡

  • Bunglebob66 Robert Bailey (@Bunglebob66) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia We felt we were banging our heads against a brick wall. No we wasted our Sunday speaking to your “Helpdesk” and will not being using our home phone again. My wife’s mum who has #dementia will now, be given my wife’s mobile number written down to use instead!

  • sharonblaxland Sharon (@sharonblaxland) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia has gone down, no internet and only a few obscure tv channels.... that I’m watching, so I can keep watching telly 😳

  • dankennik graham wilson (@dankennik) reported from Leybourne, England

    @dancludlow 4 bloody fraudulent calls today, 2 claiming to be BT "internet has been compromised " 1 BT loyal customer 35% off something or other. (I'm virgin media) and finally £30 gift from some marketing....I put phone down.

  • engineer59a Richard S (@engineer59a) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia So only total loss of service allows me compensation,just 7 days of really awful service including customer services, when asked about compensation and I query the criteria,throw a ‘sorry I can’t hear you’... Now that’s really awful customer service 😡

  • EtoileViolette Purple Star 🕷️ (@EtoileViolette) reported

    @virginmedia I have now for the fourth time in your app chat been told I'm being passed to the tech team. Every time, they put me in a queue then I end up back with the billing team who promise I'm with the right person then say they can't help. What do I have to do?

  • RetroWrestling RetroWrestling (@RetroWrestling) reported

    Never thought we'd have to contact @cedrsays regarding @virginmedia charging us too much per month for our package to what was verbally agreed, & never responding to multiple calls, emails, letters. Nearly 6 years loyalty & this is what you get. Terrible way to treat a customer.

  • RobertS23752158 Robert Smith (@RobertS23752158) reported

    @virginmedia I am attempting to cancel a contract on a flat in Bristol.. Virgin media expects me to pay for a templated letter of cancellation from some other company called cancel contract or something in Kafkaresque language that also expects us to sign a contract for this company!

  • akii_ito Akii (@akii_ito) reported

    @virginmedia And to clarify, I've given my details 3 times (which the bot didn't understand, neither the details nor the issue), and FINALLY got connected to Tenzin, and because I was busy, I replied an hour and a half later to be responded to by the bot.

  • L_Nag95 Luke James (@L_Nag95) reported

    @AshAlmquest @virginmedia Because they’re terrible it’s about as stable as a drug addict.

  • akii_ito Akii (@akii_ito) reported

    @virginmedia Also seem too busy to help via text. I'm being sent to the stupid bot every time I reply. Would seem if I don't reply as soon as possible, I get my progress reset and have to start answering the stupid questions again, with a bot that clearly doesn't work. This is disgraceful tbh

  • Sam_Rigg1 Sam (@Sam_Rigg1) reported

    @virginmedia The status page never says there is an issue when I check it as a result of slow speeds.

  • ttocs84 scott (@ttocs84) reported

    @virginmedia No. I literally signed up and it gave me two options for dates to get broadband out and that was 21st or 22nd then day later email saying it’s now 8th of jan. The outside work isn’t done by virgin so they can’t help with that which is poor.

  • RobertS23752158 Robert Smith (@RobertS23752158) reported

    @virginmedia I am attempting to cancel a contract on a flat in Bristol.. Virging media expects me to pay for a templated letter of cancellation from some other company called CIA cell contract or something in Kafkaresque language that also expects us to sign up a contact for this company!
