  • hisotalus Hannimal 🇪🇺🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 (@hisotalus) reported from Bristol, England

    On top of this since I changed to @virginmedia last week, they have sent me a marketing text message almost every day (Sunday is the only exception). I can’t find how to opt out of these and not sure blocking my network provider’s number is a wise idea. Never have I this quickly

  • charleebliss_ CHARLEE BLISS ® (@charleebliss_) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia please can you help me with my order!! Tried to ring your offices but rude and useless

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

  • shaner1989 Shane Richardson (@shaner1989) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia your support team are useless. 3 hours on calls today. I cannot get my time back that your operatives have wasted by hanging up or disconnecting 3 time.

  • sbcallen Bruce Allen (@sbcallen) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia customers with difficult problems seem to be parked in telephone que until they go away. Really trying to work to Virgin. Still waiting 55 minutes bet they will just disconnect me!

    @virginmedia why has it taken 32 mins on hold to cancel my subscription! I’m still waiting to talk to the person I spoke to 15mjns ago! Terrible service

  • JimEBallantyne James E Ballantyne (@JimEBallantyne) reported from Bristol, England

    After another 30 mins on hold I’ve given up for today as you’re impacting my evening @Virgin @virginmedia @richardbranson Crap service 👎🏻 you never know who might be a returning customer in the future and this is such a poor experience #BadService #CancellingDueToPriceHike

  • LouRipley Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia Would love to call but thanks to you guys I don’t have a phone!!!!!!! & holding for 30 mins on a mobile is unacceptable. Here’s an idea, get your team to call me. It’s called customer service. Something Virgin don’t know if.

  • burdmiester Paul Burdon (@burdmiester) reported from Kingswood, England

    Can’t stream jack shit on @virginmedia waste of time fails every Twenty minutes #prepareexittoalternative

  • LouRipley Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia absolute disgrace. Advise via Twitter to make complaint, logged 2-no response, called lots no joy, promises result in nothing. Absolute shambles. STAY AWAY peeps!! Sky a dream in comparison

  • CharHodkin Charlotte Hodkin (@CharHodkin) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia worst customer service I have ever experienced geeeez just what you want on a Saturday....terrible team...don’t do it guys 😂 #BransonHaveAWord

  • shaner1989 Shane Richardson (@shaner1989) reported from Bristol, England

    @vmbusinesshelp @virginmedia @vmbusiness Hi, I think the issue is sorted now. @virginmedia has helped. Shame the call centre is awful though.

  • LouRipley Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia stopped our DD because you take excess ££ from our a/c. Called lots of times, written 2 complaints, been promised it’ll be sorted but empty promises AGAIN absolutely by far worse customer service I’ve ever experienced

  • PayneTito Tito Payne (@PayneTito) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on with the service In the BS3 postcode area. I have no internet!!!

  • mattyribbo Matt Ribbins (@mattyribbo) reported from Filton, England

    @virginmedia Wired. The issue isn't with my side of the network. It appears to be on the virgin side based on the router logs.

  • LouRipley Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia Complaint should have been obvious from ALL the comms I’ve sent. Contracted TV, phone, unlimited BB £79/mth. Can’t get phone line (waiting 8 months) but £105 DDs taken each month. Truly appalling

  • suzyqc7 Suzy Evans (@suzyqc7) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia we've got ongoing issues with tv and broadband in BS7. Please sort it out. Loosing count of how many times this has happened over the last few months.

  • hisotalus Hannimal 🇪🇺🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 (@hisotalus) reported from Bristol, England

    @Julie_B92 Especially when particularly young people might not be able to access internet for this kind of stuff on any other device than their phones. It’s so disappointing @virginmedia doesn’t reply to these tweets. I hope it’s an honest oversight and they’ll fix this.

  • ShaunyBray Shaun Bray #Mammoot (@ShaunyBray) reported

    @virginmedia so we have now been on the phone for nearly 2 hours, most on hold, because you’ve been taking money out of our account since our contract ended in October, great service is that 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • PemJol PemJol (@PemJol) reported

    @virginmedia spent a joyful 6 hours on hold to you today and not got through a single time. Still no wifi connectivity despite things working on Ethernet. Anyone follow tags know how I get out of this god awful contract. Wfh and schooling from home just about impossible

  • nae2shabby Darian T. Wright 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@nae2shabby) reported

    @dc_homer @comcast Don't envy you guys over there man...the worst we get here is a message/letter saying something like 'Whoa-ho! You really like downloading eh?! Try to do it more at night so other people in the neighbourhood can get the most out of peak times too!' - from Virgin Media UK

  • PemJol PemJol (@PemJol) reported

    @MartinSLewis do you know how to get out of contracts with @virginmedia when you have zero connection and spend hours each day trying to get help? Lone parent full time working and schooling from home now impossible. Help!

  • colcoops Colin Cooper💙 (@colcoops) reported

    @virginmedia need help. Been trying to order a free WiFi booster after doing a room scan. Web site going round and round no luck.

  • lemonfreshrob Rob Morris (@lemonfreshrob) reported

    @dronid @virginmedia I'm totally going back to BT after the year is up. In the old flat I never had a single outage. Here with Virgin it's usually once a week or every two weeks. Pathetic. And they're putting the price up and you can NEVER speak to someone.

  • DeanJamesApes Dean James Apes (@DeanJamesApes) reported

    @virginmedia Engineer supposed to turn up New Years Eve, no show, no call, now can't even get support on the app!!!

  • DHardieTweets David Hardie (@DHardieTweets) reported

    WiFi in this gaff sucks ***. Once you’re away from the living room you’re needing 4G. The minute Hyperoptic is put into the area and the buildings, I’m kicking Virgin Media and their pish routers oot in the street.

  • kimberley088 Kimberley (@kimberley088) reported

    @virginmedia Can someone help me change my direct debit date please I’ve been trying for the past few days!

  • sameziomalhotra sam (@sameziomalhotra) reported

    @nobody_a_ @virginmedia It’s a joke, sorry to hear this is happening to you. It seems like it’s happening to a lot of people from what I can see on social media. @virginmedia how do we resolve this issue then? You recommended that I call between 8am-10am on a weekday. if disconnected what’s the point ?!
