    @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

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

    @virginmedia after nearly a year of repeatedly dropped internet service finally asked them to turn off their Wi-fi kit so can use my own. Basic connection fails, again, and nothing left for support desk to blame - challenge that if it’s not on the script then no help

    @virginmedia please get the mobile signal better in fishponds Bristol

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

    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

    @virginmedia sadly having to post again. Home broadband down again. Your service is so unreliable it is useless. U have failed to provide a reliable broadband service and remain in breach of contract.

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

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

  • mattyribbo

    @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.

  • 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.

  • Georgebaker6969

    @james90147996 @JonBake45257780 Funny how they call themselves virgin yet they only ever seem to **** people over. 🤔 @virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia long wait times 40+ minutes and no fix just another que and a recorded message that will be charged by ‘Virgin Gadget Rescue Team’!. Virgin sets new standards in Customer Service.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • KenTrowbridge3
    Ken Trowbridge (@KenTrowbridge3) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Can we DM this issue please or give me a contact number where I can actually speak to someone without the intensely annoying waiting times. Thanks in advance and anticipation! Ken

    Jack (@Vidacks) reported

    @virginmedia I spoke to the team on the above number this morning, in length, for around 2 hours, and was then hung up on. I then called back and was lied to repeatedly, as I state in previous messages. I'm told complaints can't be handled over the phone, so how will calling help?

  • tweetingquiche
    Susie Al-Qassab (@tweetingquiche) reported

    @virginmedia It’s been down since 10am. Is there a number I can call to speak to your technical department to see if they can fix it please?

  • banana_hammockX

    Skippy Ash ⚡️ (@skipsyash) reported

    Why do virgin media do updates to the wifi at 17:30 😞. 2 days in a row now it’s gone down when the household have needed it

  • Wayfare63234169
    Wayfarer (@Wayfare63234169) reported

    @virginmedia how is it possible to leave a customer without broadband for 11 days? No updates, no escalation, no concern. Been bounced around call centres from India to South Africa!

  • leahdagnallx
    Leah (@leahdagnallx) reported

    Never again will I sign up to @virginmedia Robbin bastards, 18 month contract comes to an end this month so I’m trying to cancel it and youse have randomly sent me a new contract which I never signed up for

  • SeanAHans
    Sean H (@SeanAHans) reported

    @SkyUK We’ve been waiting 3 weeks for internet & just found out about the Open Reach Strike. You’ve now rebooked us for the 7th of November. I’m a remote worker, I need the internet. @virginmedia If we cancel Sky can you hook us up.

    Why is virgin broadband not working properly in Plymouth since mid September? #virginmedia

  • JamesPllu
    James Pllu (@JamesPllu) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin Mobile blocked my phone after I went over spending cap (accidentally as roaming wasn’t off). I’ve paid and back to normal but surely that’s quite a dangerous policy. Could you not just add the money to my bill and keep the service active?
