    @virginmedia my partner has had no reception on his mobile for at least 24 hours now, we've tried resetting the phone etc and nothing is working. Is there an issue on the network?

    @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.

  • alisterbetts
    Alister Betts (@alisterbetts) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia - if I have a problem actually logging in, it would appear that there is no way to actually contact you... help please!

  • courttttxxo
    Court✨ (@courttttxxo) reported from Avonmouth, England

    Honestly @virginmedia has to be the biggest load of **** ever. We never have WiFi, even the TV that’s hooked up to the Ethernet cable isn’t working. At least once a day the WiFi drops. We live in Bristol, not the ******* outback

  • 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?

  • _dreamer_
    Pilar Gómez (@_dreamer_) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Actually, the new owners are porting their virgin contract here, if the contract is per property, and it will be Virgin providing the service, that would mean we DON'T have to pay the fee right?

  • craigcapes
    Craig Capel (@craigcapes) reported from Bristol, England

    The £ gleaned by both @virginmedia and @SkySports in making it difficult for fee/ subscription paying members to watch “each others” content must clearly outweigh the customer service calls and complaints 🤬

    Shitsgigglesngloves (@Shitsgigglesng1) reported from Kingswood, England

    @Birdybabe07 @virginmedia Bt, great deals atm. Once back on openreach network you can move around with over 50 companies. Once on virgin you can only use virgin. bt will happily re instal to get you back on openreach network. Unless you need business fibre...then I can provide or advise👍.

    @virginmedia hi, is there a customer service email for billing queries instead of phone/message? Thank you :)

    I’ve seen multiple @virginmedia AD’s with wheelchair users in & every single time my face lights up like a kid at christmas, representation MATTERS & is non-existent for disabled people, this feeling will never get old. ✨

  • thisisryanc
    Ryan Carrington (@thisisryanc) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Constantly drops out, coupled with frequently slow speeds. Price increases for a worsening service.

  • TeamPenster

    @virginmedia internet down in BS8?

  • stace_the_face
    stace_the_face 💙💙💙🎓🎓🎓 (@stace_the_face) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia saga continues- so their call handler didn’t call me back and now someone’s told me they cancelled my compensation cheque because my account is closed. My account was closed because you couldn’t provide a simple service for 4.5 months and damaged my property.

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

    @virginmedia broadband in BS166EB is totally rubbish again, got to switch this service is really really poor #inconsistent at best.

  • _dreamer_
    Pilar Gómez (@_dreamer_) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I would be happy to keep virgin, and that would be ok, and I would keep the same contract.. but it is you who can't provide service... How is it me ending the contract? How am I compensating you and not the other way around?

  • Andrea_Buffery
    Andrea Buffery (@Andrea_Buffery) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia is there an outage problem in BS8 (Bristol)? We’ve lost the internet and TV connection.

    @virginmedia the lack of urgency from your team dealing with a fraud case is so poor!

    @sueperkins @virginmedia I had the EXACT same experience! Bill went up month on month despite numerous calls, emails letters etc - AWFUL customer service

  • Ian040476
    Ian Wallhead (@Ian040476) reported

    @sueperkins @virginmedia Completely ripped me off, will never use them again and have advised others not to.

  • AKASDM
    Old Curmudgeon (@AKASDM) reported

    @virginmedia You say the same thing every year and if I don't like it I've got 30 days to go to another money-grubbing "service" provider. You're all the same. And why 3.9% on top of discredited RPI? Why not CPI that almost everyone else uses? Ah, yes, it's higher so more for your coffers.

  • eeviledna
    Ashleigh (@eeviledna) reported

    @sueperkins @virginmedia This is why I left @virginmedia. Worst customer service ever. Ever. It’s appalling.

  • azzamelion123
    Aaron (@azzamelion123) reported

    @virginmedia Worst company I have ever dealt with, waiting for a call back from customer service for over 2 months after Fraudulently being signed up for a 18mth contract without my knowledge by a member of their staff!! Called them 9 times and no one ever calls you back. @BBCWatchdog

  • doffcapgov
    doffcapgov (@doffcapgov) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @sueperkins @virginmedia Glad you are publicizing their appalling customer comms whilst @virginmedia shamelessly provide a lousy service and increasing monthly subs by stealth

  • rachmayte
    Rachel McNulty (@rachmayte) reported

    @virginmedia Yes- DPA ok on calls 1, 3 and 4, it was just 2nd person who took everything apart from my shoe size that didn't pass it (agent issue, not a Rachel issue). Call 4, person 5 (Dean) was a legend and told me price increase doesn't apply to me as contract was changed on 21/12/21.👍🏽

  • kkgorny1972
    Kev (@kkgorny1972) reported

    @virginmedia what i find more disgusting is you trying to justify such a hike at a time when millions are being hit, also the amount of new contracts you had since the pandemic and yet you feel the need to still hit peoples pockets, please don't insult customers by saying that crap

  • mrchall

    @sueperkins @virginmedia Oh God virgin Media are the worst. Send your latest letter/bill back to their HQ annotated in red caps “My account is closed and all bills have been settled. If you continue to harass me I will contact the police”. That’s what I did and the letters stopped.
