  • SeasideAPNP Liam Stanley💙 (@SeasideAPNP) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @AnnG50707311 @virginmedia I always haggled with them and got them to come in at new customer prices. Surprising what they will give you when you let them think you are leaving. Also let them know what other companies will offer you to become a customer as they may match the offer

  • PIPPAaM Pippa Moss (@PIPPAaM) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia we've had atrocious broadband on SE26 4HN for weeks now, it just keeps dropping out and then coming back. I have just had my bill and I'm not really feeling we should have to pay for the service we've had this month.

  • MrRockingGooner Mr Rocking Gooner~ Terry 👨‍🎤 (@MrRockingGooner) reported from Romford, England

    @BorisJohnson @virginmedia @O2 Imagine being part of a club or a group where roaming could be free for every mobile phone network automatically across Europe We should join that club sometime.

  • willhenrywarren William Warren (@willhenrywarren) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia @trickythecat Will affected users get a refund for the lack of service? We haven't had internet for a week.

  • pauldee74 Paul Dwyer (@pauldee74) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia @YodelOnline again day 3 of waiting for package spoke on webchat kept getting told its coming today + check tracking but tracking saying was delivered yesterday! another day wasted and taken off work yodel please help! I just need to know its coming today and a time

  • PIPPAaM Pippa Moss (@PIPPAaM) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia They keep saying an engineer is coming to fix it. It's down again this evening. 😠SE26 4HN

  • sinozza Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I spent over an hour on the phone yesterday trying to get through to a customer service rep only to get cut off. Still waiting to hear on WhatsApp and been on hold this afternoon 45 mins and still holding???? Whats going on??

  • sinozza Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @ThatNickElse @virginmedia Did you get through in the end Nick...I'm having similar problems to you.

  • mizznansea Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    @TracyWoodley4 @virginmedia @Virgin Their service has certainly gone down hill and this issue with the call centre is a complete farce. If they can't even get their own internal systems sorted as a telecomms company what hope do we have? My contract is up in March and I will defo be leaving Virgin.

  • t3xuga 𝒯𝑒𝓍𝓊𝑔𝒶 (@t3xuga) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia with the new price increase it states with don't need to pay any cancellation fees. My contract ends on the Summer, if I were to cancel do I need to pay the remaining months?

  • Veganforever67 Vegan join the PCS Union (@Veganforever67) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I think I may actually be free from #Virginmedia at last other times I phoned up I got someone who just basically lied to me and extending my contract but this time I phoned up to cancel the contract and actually spoke to a very nice man so hopefully it's all done

  • CarlaMorris18 carla morris (@CarlaMorris18) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia personal line breached,customer service a joke told me i cant log complaint, 29 yrs with you and told wont call me back !!!

  • mizznansea Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    So trying to cancel @virginmedia services and the stalling tactics being used are not cool. If customers want to leave they have every right to do so. Let them go.

  • MSROPER10 S (@MSROPER10) reported from London, England

    @cameraoncaught @virginmedia Have you forwarded this to Virgin media internal complaints? In my opinion Virgin have one of the worst customer service teams around but it may reach someone who can act upon internally.

  • coxychris chris cox (@coxychris) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia why are no one answering your lines all I wanna do is cancel my package

  • MrChips2000 MrChips (@MrChips2000) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I would like to cancel my recent broadband order. I found a better deal.

  • mizznansea Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    @virginmedia Yes he left a name & phone number, said I should I let him know if I still have issues. I've contacted him 3 times including this morning since his visit last Friday.

  • theshmelaarr theshmelaarr (@theshmelaarr) reported

    @virginmedia Apparently nothings wrong, however I’ve had slow speeds and intermittent internet since it was fitted. I also called a minute ago for the assistant to say it will be 48/72 hours which would be perfect for the weekend however I work during the week.

  • Sdavidson27_2 Stacey davidson (@Sdavidson27_2) reported

    @virginmedia I have called 3 times and spoken to someone and have been told different things. I do not have time to sit on the phone for hours or on the chat. Nothing has been resolved once again. Disgraceful customer services

  • Linked2Steve Steve Phillip (@Linked2Steve) reported from Pannal, England

    @virginmedia not impressed, broadband down in HG3 area twice in past 24 hours, following recent email from@you explaining how you recently upgraded the service locally! Booted out of 2 important meetings!!

  • miasmou Mathias Mouchard (@miasmou) reported

    @virginmedia Sure, there was more work to do. But no transparency was provided on progress and always postponing at the very last minute, with a pinky promise that everything will work out next time, and it never did (x4).

  • tonymc39 Tony McDonough (@tonymc39) reported

    The world’s worst broadband provider @virginmedia strikes again… broadband goes off without warning while I’m working. Recorded message says ‘we’re working to make your service better and it will be off for a short time… should be back on by 3pm’ WTF?

  • jjsmclaughlin Jamie McLaughlin (@jjsmclaughlin) reported

    @virginmedia Too many times mate. That's a day of annual leave for me and my partner we'll have to take yet again. We've paid for childcare, the house is empty and we can't work. Just cancelled direct debit. If you have a problem with it we'll see you in front of a magistrate I guess.

  • rayvntalent 🖤Little Duo Assistant Rei🖤 (@rayvntalent) reported

    @virginmedia 🙃🙃 wifi down yet again this is an actual joke

  • loza_is_crazy Lorraine Connolly (@loza_is_crazy) reported

    @virginmedia customer service is ridiculous trying to sort out why I have been charged since disconnecting and being told I can’t be passed over to someone that can help! Trying to contact virgin media is hopeless can someone contact me

  • PaulEdw53148499 Jacob (@PaulEdw53148499) reported

    @jjsmclaughlin @virginmedia Almost as bad as TalkTalk

  • eRasedXem eRasedXem (@eRasedXem) reported
