  • daintree75 leighton daintree (@daintree75) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I have had to email your DPO department again today for an update as it will be 3 weeks tomorrow since last reply. This has been rumbling on for a month. Your customer service is shocking. Who do I need to complain to? @Offcom?

  • daintree75 leighton daintree (@daintree75) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Hi No absolutely nothing. Its so poor and terrible customer service. I am so unhappy with you. The funny thing is that @virginmedia rang me yesterday to see if you could win my business back from @SkyUK if I have a problem they sort it may take a call or 2 but its dealt with.

  • 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.

  • misseschampers Lucy Champion (@misseschampers) reported from Bristol, England

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

  • TruVetCommando TruVetCommando (@TruVetCommando) reported from Avonmouth, England

    @virginmedia Well just spent over 2 hours talking to your customer services team to be told 30mbps is acceptable for fibre350 what happened to money back if min 180mbps not reached

  • _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?

  • TruVetCommando TruVetCommando (@TruVetCommando) reported from Avonmouth, England

    @Ofcom hi there @virginmedia are charging me for fibre350 and im getting 30 at the best there customer service will not even send out a engineer to look. This has been going on for months. I have just spent over 2 hours on the phone again to them all they said is complain to you.

  • 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

  • chloehester Chloe (@chloehester) reported from Bristol, England

    @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?

  • VickyLorych VickyL (@VickyLorych) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia so disappointed 😞 I was quoted £70 pm all in today now my bill has arrived and it’s £100 and next month you wanted to charge me £277 😳 now sat waiting to cancel the services ! 😡

  • 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!

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

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

  • 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.

  • TeamPenster SamuEL Penster Gaming in the Multiverse (@TeamPenster) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia internet down in BS8?

  • brizzleboy pete jones (@brizzleboy) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Tried using that contact forms again, still nothing helps, I'll just hang on line for another hour 🤬🤬

  • _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?

  • _emmajay_ emma (@_emmajay_) reported from Bristol, England

    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. ✨

  • TobyOsborne1 Toby Osborne (@TobyOsborne1) reported from Bristol, England

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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Ebb1 Eb (@Ebb1) reported

    @virginmedia @Fandangofumbler Is this the address to write to to cancel, giving 30 days notice, after which we can cancel the direct debit. Should we send the letter recorded delivery? 2. writing to Virgin Media Sales Operation Support, Diamond Plaza, Daleside Road, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG2 3GG;

  • Chromar_ Chromar (@Chromar_) reported

    @ShinglyGS @virginmedia @MyNameIsByf Bro, is their Twitter account run by Siri? You should 100% cancel your contract with them and get a new one with literally anyone else. It speaks volumes of their service quality when their support line is not reachable. Trash tier provider.

  • Ebb1 Eb (@Ebb1) reported

    @Traccarole @virginmedia Complaints, Virgin Media, Sunderland, SR43 4AA write to cancel. Give 30 days notice then cancel direct debit. Meantime search alternative provider to switch. Send letter recorded delivery and say you could not get through to customer service on phone. Job done.

  • Baseley09 John Baseley (@Baseley09) reported

    @virginmedia The text service is a shambles it points you back to phoning in, which I have done and wasted another hour today on hold. Why can't you change services via the website - because you hope that people get bored of waiting on the phone and hang up.

  • MrThomasMusic Mr Thomas (@MrThomasMusic) reported

    @virginmedia You have gave my mam and dad a phone number for there address which is incorrect. The number is for another property in a different town. I only wanted the correct number. They have been paying for this service since August and it’s not been provided.

  • Amit91987 A.P (@Amit91987) reported

    @virginmedia Well why don’t your call me? I spoke to a customer service representative last week and even she said calls back can be made!

  • gracieharris Gracie Harris (@gracieharris) reported

    @virginmedia Still nothing at home. I reported the same issue a few months ago and was told there was nothing wrong.

  • missrich96 Miss Richardson (@missrich96) reported

    @virginmedia I have finally managed to get through to someone, but there are huge flaws in virgin media customer services, particularly when complaints never get responded to and there is only one number to ring to cancel, which never gets picked up. I would appreciate you passing that along.

  • _AndyMurray Andy (@_AndyMurray) reported

    WTF @virginmedia are your call centres designed to confuse and coerce?How has it taken over 30 minutes to find out why I was downgraded under the guise of a "discount" and I have call handler who is apparently just sat there doing nothing whilst "searching"
