  • tolu_____ Tolu (@tolu_____) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

  • SarahWaygood Sarah Waygood 💙 (@SarahWaygood) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia please could someone contact me. On hold for 20 minutes. No TV service.

  • Ean_I Ean Irwin (@Ean_I) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia 2 minutes to go in the Champions League final and everything has gone down! Expected fix time 16:00 tomorrow. Are you serious!

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia YOU USELESS #***** two years of problems, of no shows after no show, today was to be the day it was all sorted yet you manage to ***** up a simple install job. You confirmed to me what was to be installed yet the engineer wasn’t told! #fuckwits

  • sarainh2o Sara Rainwater (@sarainh2o) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    .@virginmedia my Virgin TV Go app hasn’t worked in 2 months. No luck uninstalling and reinstalling it, nor when I called your tech support for help. Any ideas?

  • LouiseHatch1 Louise Hatch 🦋 (@LouiseHatch1) reported from London, England

    Hi @virginmedia I wonder if you can help me? I'm looking to access the subtitles on a movie I have just paid to download...that essential service doesn't seem to be available? Thank you 🦋 #Deaf #deaf #HearingLoss

  • jeanrauwers Jean Rauwers (@jeanrauwers) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia getting these emails saying “we are sorry you are leaving” but I didn’t cancel my service with you guys. Should I be worried about it?

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia Furthermore I’ll not be renewing my @O2 contract when they merge with Virgin bad enough with on #showerofshit can’t be dealing with it on my mobile as well.

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia No show yesterday over 2 hours lost time today trying to sort out the item which ironically are apart of an agreement with @virginmedia to resolve slow speeds and #badcustomerservice. Looks like you don’t ever listen back to your own training recorded conversations...

  • jim_dawes James Dawes (@jim_dawes) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia no broadband, WiFi or TV services in the SE7 area until 5pm today is completely unacceptable for people working from home. Engineering faults should not be happening during the day. £8 compensation is absolute peanuts. Very poor indeed.

  • owensirons93 Andrew Owen (@owensirons93) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia any reason why you still haven’t fixed our phone lines? Been down for 3 months now so I’ll be expecting a reimbursement. Also expect a reimbursement due to the fact your failing to supply the minimum download speed

  • Rex_Comms Terri (@Rex_Comms) reported from London, England

    Sad in these times when a friend is forced to move home because her mortgage company won’t help her & now @virginmedia are charging her well over £200 as a disconnection fee. To leave a home she doesn’t actually want to leave.

  • Bomber_RBS ML Shelton (@Bomber_RBS) reported from Gravesend, England

    @skytv @virginmedia get your fecking **** together and agree a deal with @disneyplus

  • mariobucolo Mario Bucolo (@mariobucolo) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia i have an issue on my broadband...just 2 after i complaint against a openreach engineering. what a coincidence!

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia @VirginVoyages Beware they Virgin operate and tell you one thing when you call customer services you may end up on on a 2 week cruise on the Woolwich ferry

  • daviduaregod paul davis (@daviduaregod) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia I want to upgrade as I had problems with my income but I can’t do it online don’t say nothing about my next package it’s. A disgrace I can’t phone as it cost me

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia **** knows? Can’t trust any appointments you make anyway... still waiting for her to phone back again 4th time lucky that she won’t cut me off again eh?

  • feyipuk Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Signal as a whole; router drops to less than 1kbps and remote IP changes like it's trying to reconnect. A power cycle seems to correct it but think I'll need some watchdog program and remote switch to do that if the signal drops and I'm away from the house.

  • emilymorgan_x Em💛 (@emilymorgan_x) reported from Basildon, England

    Can someone pls explain to me why @virginmedia wifi is so shockingly ****

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia We agreed after 2 years of slow service you’d upgrade my 2 TiVo boxes to V6 and bring 3 pods to cover dead zones agreed in Nov last year and after 3 missed appointments and you calling me 3 days to confirm the work to do & you still **** it up. #fuckwits

    @virginmedia it’s over 24 hours since your call centre cut off my call after waiting 30 mins for you to answer, having already spent ages trying to resolve the issue previously ,still no call back, if this is the customer service you provide, I’d avoid this circus at all costs !

    @virginmedia been on hold for 25 on a second call. The first disconnected. Problems with BB for three days and now the hub doesn’t even power on after an apparent update!

    @virginmedia You repeatedly confirmed the arrangement with me and will not reinstate my services despite the assurance that payment in full - not a happy customer #VirginAreDisappointing

  • nmargwh Nicola W (@nmargwh) reported from Spelthorne District, England

    @virginmedia I need a new hub (which must already have been known) You have no next day delivery so this won’t come until Monday. Extremely poor service #virginmedia
