    Virgin media make me 🤬 Been with them for 6yrs (no other option in our flats), paid their extortionate prices & received pretty poor intermittent service. Moving house & they don’t supply our new area 🥳 but they would like to charge a cancellation fee of £30.38

    @virginmedia #rude #badservice Had Virgin broadband installed just to discover a better deal on money supermarket. Contacted them to ask if they would honour it and was refused point blank, told not to complain, wouldn’t put me through to the boss and wouldn’t give her name.

    @virginmedia Its done now but fairly sure it shouldn't take your agents 45 mins to cancel sky and bt sports and change the TV package to the basic. Maybe more training or better systems are needed. Just saying Sky took about 3 minutes to cancel BT sports for me a year or so ago #competitors

    .@virginmedia telling us to sit and wait for 24 hours without internet just incase our Wi-Fi starts working again before they’ll actually do anything, great customer service… not 👍🏻

    Steve Parsons (@steveparsnips) reported from Stoke Gifford, England

    @virginmedia I have spent 7hrs40mins today in a WhatsApp chat with your customer services trying to terminate my broadband and still haven't finalised it. I will be cancelling my DD as I am paid up until May 4th and your hub will be available for you to collect if you wish

    @BookDreamerSal @virginmedia Having the same problem. Just called Virgin - it seems many people are too. They're trying to sort it.

  • chrisandobe
    Chris (@chrisandobe) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia hi I need help. I'm not able to call or text so I can't even call virgin media for help.

    🚑🌈Josh 🇪🇺👨‍⚕️ (@1Joshwa) reported from Bristol, England

    So why is it impossible to speak to a real person at @virginmedia ? Live chat is down, phone leads to a system test then hangs up. I just want to speak to someone 😩 #virginmedia

  • chrisorman
    Chris Orman (@chrisorman) reported from Bradley Stoke, England

    Just spoken to @virginmedia customer services about red light on my hub. They GUARANTEED that the light will revert to white in the next 24 hours. Wonder what happen if their guarantee fails?

  • MTurnerNFL
    Matthew Turner (@MTurnerNFL) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Hi again guys. Exactly the same experience. They can't help me because by the time I've waited on hold, and weve discussed the problem again (for the 20th time or so), the problem has resolved. It's still happening 4 times an evening and it needs fixing. Please help.

  • neilcairns
    Neil Cairns (@neilcairns) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Yes. Powered down, switched off etc etc. Why would only certain content not delete and other content delete fine? Doesn’t make sense?

  • Milesenberg
    Miles (@Milesenberg) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia my mum's landline is down and she's found your customer service that she's tried to call on mobile completely unhelpful. She needs an engineer to go to her house to fix it.

  • algro10
    Al (@algro10) reported from Clevedon, England

    @10sam_h Yeah likewise, virgin media awful still not sorted it

  • neilcairns
    Neil Cairns (@neilcairns) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia @EGX virginmedia where can I email to complain? My VirginMedia Box won’t let me delete a number of things and my Internet is patchy at best! £83 a month for this ****? Every time you call you people you’re on hold or cut off!

    Internet outage in Bristol BS14 / BS4 @virginmedia please give a status update

    @virginmedia another outage again? Fix your ****

  • tinabadley
    Tina Badley (@tinabadley) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Same as about a month ago. Said I need to enter password. But doesn't work. Have tried resetting password. Still no good. Webmail says can't access my emails right now. And when I go to the sign in page it has my name as 'Jackie' top right though the main page says 'Hi Tina'.

  • LetRIP
    Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia Yes. That isn’t the point though. Your website has no information about how to contact you. And your web chat takes 1 hour to do the task of reporting bad speeds. Your contact support needs vast improvement.

  • ShanahanMary
    Mary Shanahan (@ShanahanMary) reported from Bristol, England

    Not happy with @virginmedia paying £70 a month for tv/(which is awful) internet and landline - want to delete tv still (£61) - internet drops out all the time exit fees would be £240 anyone else find them extortionate for poor service?

  • tinabadley
    Tina Badley (@tinabadley) reported from Bristol, England

    Has anyone else's @virginmedia email gone down AGAIN? I'm trying to run a business here.

    Shady Shaw (@shadeyshaw) reported

    @Benleo I think these big comp that operate in the uk should be banned from using overseas call centres,I left virgin because their customer service was atrocious joined youfibre only to find out they have been bought out by virgin media and now I’m sure they use the same call centres.

  • VoWSilla
    VoW Silla (@VoWSilla) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I phoned virgin due to having extremely slow Internet. They tried to sell me several other packages that would make me "wifi" faster as extra costs but insist I got the best speeds. And before I ended the call we were discussing mobile phone contracts that has nothing to do with my speed and I was honest to say, I can tell you are trying to sell me products that will not improve your service.

  • Benleo
    Ben Leo (@Benleo) reported

    I have released all audio tapes of my many calls since April 30 and will be collating them for the nation to see how @virginmedia treat their customers and breach consumer law.

  • BerkshireFHS
    BerkshireFHS (@BerkshireFHS) reported

    @virginmedia @vmbusinesshelp It's residential customers whose service is blocked. Virgin Business do provide provide broadband to our premises. This is causing major issues for us. Help!

  • Cakes6G
    Cakes6G | Art on Objkt (@Cakes6G) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Saw this coming a long while ago which is why I bailed when my contract finished, awful customer service and awful products, let this be a lesson to all of you on X!

  • IamCarrieagain
    Carrie (@IamCarrieagain) reported

    @virginmedia No, you absolutely don't understand. Leave me alone. Maybe I will be well enough at some point in the future to sort this. Maybe not. Your treatment of disabled people and your withholding of key information to a customer is disgusting. I'm cut off now, thanks.

    @virginmedia Absolutely despicable. My elderly parents had problems too when they first signed up to them, then they had to navigate their call centre speak from India to resolve it. They're not that good and don't care

  • IamCarrieagain
    Carrie (@IamCarrieagain) reported

    @virginmedia You turned off my router remotely and you can turn it back on until I am well enough to deal with trying to set up the new one. Thought of indirect discrimination under EA 2010? How about the fact your were not up front about your service changes/consequences too?

    @saltyy_savage I had Virgin media for years and only issues and expensive contracts. I am on Plusnet right now £43/46 for 900mb with 0 problems and uk customer services. They do £3 increase yearly and I am curious to see my first contract end what I'll get. Bet still better than virgin
