Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England@virginmedia @virginhelp Yes. Have done this and spoken with your ‘fault management service’ who cut me off when I was explaining the problem.
-
David Lloyd (@dave_backwell) reported from Backwell, EnglandAppalling customer service thread to follow about @VirginMedia. 6 months ago my partner and I moved in together. We were both customers with @virginmedia but for obvious reasons decided we only needed one account in our new house ...
-
Amz (@amy_noony) reported from Bristol, EnglandVirgin 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
-
Mary Shanahan (@ShanahanMary) reported from Bristol, EnglandNot 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?
-
Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England@virginmedia Nothing on there - just a lot of people with same issue!

vinnie voke (@vinnievoke) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia @virginhelp so 17h with no reply wicked costumer service
-
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.

-
Chris Orman (@chrisorman) reported from Bradley Stoke, EnglandJust 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?
-
Rajnish Razdan (@RajnishRazdan) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia it’s amazing isn’t it - you never pick up calls or cut me off so I go to your site to change my package as you’re charging me for things I don’t have and amazingly your live chat button doesn’t work either.
-
AngelMelSelector (@AngelMel2017) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia Thank you for your reply. He told me that the cheque had not been activated when I first called 5th June. I was told it would be sent out via check. He told me today it would take a further 2/3 weeks. Sadly was no help at all. 😒😥

DavidJWood (@RedWoodyLFC) reported from Bristol, England@JaydMulligan @virginmedia Bs3 working 90% since about 9.30 this morning It went down about 10 mins ago but now up and running
-
Simon H (@Hekler21) reported from Westerleigh, England@virginmedia hardly a great start as new customer!! Moving house and ordered a new box for moving day, but now won’t be delivered there for over 2 weeks!! #shambles
-
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.
-
KB (@kadenbatt) reported from Warmley, England@virginmedia After all the outages it's not stopped my WiFi pods working. How do u fix this? I've reset the hib and I've tried plugging the pods in close by to pair again and I get nothing
-
Alexandra Powell (@gingermurkin) reported from Patchway, England@virginmedia Issue with virgin mobiles not accepting incoming calls, going straight to voicemail. Was told this would be resolved last night but still not working. Any resolution ETA??
-
Beth Ryan (@bethkorf) reported from Kingswood, England@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
-
Acuharmony-UK (@AcuharmonyUK) reported from Clevedon, England@virginmedia No reported issues. Tried the fixes before, and so did virgin chat. Not just my handset, other people are having the same problem. Am I going to have to change networks, is that what you're saying? Due to the change to O2?

Investigation Findings The regulatory investigation covered calls made between January 1, 2022, and September 11, 2024. Ofcom found that MILLIONS of customer service interactions were mishandled to prevent or delay cancellations. Specific tactics included: • Deliberately dropping or hanging up calls when customers asked to cancel. Putting callers on hold for no reason to frustrate them Excessive and unnecessary call transfers between departments. Using a two-tier retention system where only specific agents were allowed to process final cancellations. THIS LOT ARE CONFIRMED CRUEL SCAMMERS

Kevin Anthony Haynes (@anthony_ha15609) reported@EE @VirginMedia Long seen some play legal moves via The Walking Dead, years ago, which some of my funds also paid for much zombie production. Trouble is when it's a success the rats come sniffing via Disney, and TWD in France, so don't want my get my U.S compound interest slice.

stevefairclough (@stevefairclough) reported@virginmedia What a shitshow. Possibly the worst experience I’ve had in my life trying to deal with your crappy AI bots… I’d appreciate a phone number….

David Nolan (@blessdavo) reported@virginmedia Intermittent signal. As it was earlier this morning. It says you're looking into it!
-
Daran (@LoyalRoyalDaz) reported@shaunriley1954 @DarcKni68649817 @virginmedia Telecential.. i started with them as well. They were based just down the road from. The lack of respect we get as super longterm customers is terrible but they are all the same..
-
Craig (@Scrumpyjackfan) reportedAfter 25 years with @virginmedia it’s time to say 👋. Relocating your customer services to SE Asia a few years back was a stupid move, I have wasted hours waiting and talking to your reps. Even now I must do the leg work to find a better deal. You should be phoning me to keep me.

Eric Byrne (@EricByrne35) reported@virginmedia broadband down about two or three hours now in Clondalkin, that's a day off my bill now for the inconvenience, surely?

Anne Bradford (@AnneGBradford) reportedSo had a request from what was supposed to be your help care centre - but they are a scam!! @virginmedia

Susan Harding 🩵 🇬🇧 (@SusanHarding28) reported@Bebs1000 @vodafone Left them a long time ago! Shocking company with customer service equal to that of Virgin Media 🙄

Iain Patrick (@iaindpatrick) reported@virginmedia hi guys. Internet out from just before 10.30am this morning. Status page says sorted by 3pm tomorrow (that its self is unacceptable) got a text saying service is restored, but its not, so why send a misleading message? Poor service and customer experience.
