  • Gary_Kilroy Gary Kilroy (@Gary_Kilroy) reported from Liverpool, England

    The customer service offered by @virginmedia has now reached such comically useless levels that they're now making it next to impossible for me to pay them for their services!

  • shell634 Michelle Oldroyd (@shell634) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I sincerely hope there will be no need to contact beyond this fix date If we are going to be without service all weekend and already on day 3

  • nookandwillow clare wilson (@nookandwillow) reported from Prescot, England

    @ThingsByNik @virginmedia Have noticed they’re hard to get hold of as I’ve had issues with my install (outdoors related) they should at least do you a deal…if you could actually speak to them they will prob offer you something, that’s what Sky usually do

    @virginmedia hi, is it possible to check if my virgin mobile is being moved over from using ee to Vodafone? My signal keeps dropping in and out....i was told this would be happening sometime this year.

  • GaryLiverpool Gary  (@GaryLiverpool) reported from Liverpool, England

  • LJBret11 Liam 🥊🎙 (@LJBret11) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia has got the worst customer service of any network. Raised a complaint back in January regarding a misold package,still waiting for an outcome. The notes say they have tried contacting me...no they havnt, not missed calls, voicemails or emails. Absolute liars.

  • justmekieee Mancunian 👉🏼 Merseyside (@justmekieee) reported from Wallasey, England

    THREE months I waited for @virginmedia to come out and install my new broadband around 16 rescheduled appointments, 2 no show engineers, 1 who 'nipped to his van' and then never came back, each time it'll be installed next time we assure you, all this time they are still adding..

  • neilc5017 Neil Connolly (@neilc5017) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia how much notice do we have to give to cancel our subscription ?

  • Ceasar_1990 Chris Greenhalgh (@Ceasar_1990) reported from Liverpool, England

  • hneugh_ Breezy Lovejoy (@hneugh_) reported

    @virginmedia hey I’m having issues with my internet and can’t check my account as it says it doesn’t exist and won’t let me create a new one

  • m4mac m4mac (@m4mac) reported

    @SiManM20 @virginmedia IME you never get the full download bandwidth, that actually is about what I'd expect. Various factors act to reduce potential speed including the computer's ability process that much data. I'd be more concerned about the upload, that does strike me as low.

  • andy_hulbert Andy Hulbert (@andy_hulbert) reported

    @virginmedia How do I arrange to have my old hub upgraded as it delivers poor WiFi. I've tried to to get in touch using online chat, but it doesn't seem to be working

  • zandrayeaman Zandra Yeaman (@zandrayeaman) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia No, it keeps saying check for updates but there is no update and issue with the broadband not changed. This is day 4.

  • FroggattSteve Steve Froggatt RVM (@FroggattSteve) reported

    @virginmedia Please do but, can you update me when I will receive some service

  • adilangley Adrian (Adi) Langley (@adilangley) reported

    @virginmedia really gets on my nerves at times. I pay A LOT of money to have a service. I understand that sometimes the Internet will go down but when it does, it takes the whole TV with it too. I'm trying to do work at home while also looking after my 1 y/o and nothings working

  • thrivebep Bep Dhaliwal (@thrivebep) reported

    @virginmedia We’ve had no WiFi connectivity in the house on any devices, so I’ve had to cancel work sessions that I was due to chair this morning- simply unacceptable service

  • mcullen85 Martin Cullen (@mcullen85) reported

    @virginmedia a truly terrible experience with your customer service teams in the last two months. Evidently no process or regard for the consumer and in a cost of living crisis charge me 260% of my original bill price. Agents are evidently too busy to help and no way to escalate!

  • thrivebep Bep Dhaliwal (@thrivebep) reported

    @virginmedia I appreciate the apology but the faith in your service isn’t restored and I will be reviewing alternative providers.

  • DaveAspey dave_aspey (@DaveAspey) reported

    @Stixx1979 @virginmedia Never known anything like it. Can’t get internet upstairs (in a small house) and they are trying to charge me extra for booster pods. The customer service is worse than the broadband.
