    @virginmedia Stop calling me then hanging up. That’s rude.

  • guinnessaddick Gerry (@guinnessaddick) reported from Dartford, England

    @thorogodies @Missbwattie @virginmedia We don’t have many problems with ours, surprised you do, as you’re only round the corner, must be a box problem.

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve now been told that there is no complaints team, despite the fact I spoke to them earlier. How is it possible to be so poor?

  • nigelrumsey Nigel Rumsey (@nigelrumsey) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia Your link says it can’t find any issues, there are issues. Can you advise if it’s being investigated? What’s the eta? Thanks.

  • MisterLeeDaniel Mr Lee Daniel (@MisterLeeDaniel) reported from London, England

    Please could @virginmedia on 0330 303 5309 stop calling me, then immediately hanging up. That’s rude. I’ve now blocked your number.

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I raised the complaint on 14/7 and I’ve heard nothing

  • LockeyJordan jordan lockey (@LockeyJordan) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I am not paying the bill until you fix your ****** internet plus your trying to scam us by raising our bill to £225 even though it's supposed to be £130 and we have never missed a payment

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

  • Richard09499442 Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @virginmedia im trying to sign in to my virgin account says i need to verify username in email i click verify & it says I've already verified username and so the circle of misery begins again, please help & dont say phone virgin as i cant get through or cant understand Filipino!

  • PL13Les LES ⚒ (@PL13Les) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    What is going on with the horrific intermittent WIFI connection in SM5 for the past week. Website says there is a problem BUT have to wait til Friday for an engineer. Abysmal performance @virginmedia

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia so after weeks of unbelievably poor broadband and customer service there was an offer from you to resolve the situation with a web chat at 11am, with a link being provided here. No link. I’m lost for words

  • Gertie58 Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia We have broadband but no WiFi. Rang customer services on Thursday lunchtime to be told that although nothing shows up in the service checker it' known fault and should be back today, now it's almost two days without WiFi, just want update from someone who knows what's happening

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?

  • katie_2521 Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia been struggling for days with home WiFi. Tried to contact you guys but cant find a number Please help

  • Gertie58 Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia All of our WiFi appliances stopped working at the exact same time. The WiFi keeps trying to connect but just whirls and whirls. No issues with our appliances

  • 1CreativeRay Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

  • nicolas_laborie Nicolas Laborie ( He/Him ) (@nicolas_laborie) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Whats is happening ?? Been put in a queue only to have the CV phone put down on me twice without even talking to an operator ? What do I need to do to speak to someone??

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaNews having major issues in WD24 with service up and down for the last three - no internet

  • Captainsossige Ping Kin (@Captainsossige) reported

    @virginmedia HIm, thought i'd upgraded to M200 the other day, but can't see any confirmation email. Help please?

  • helen_langan Helen Langan (@helen_langan) reported

    @virginmedia I need to change the voicemail on a landline to either extend the number of rings significantly before being activated or cancelling service completely.

  • PhilipCSwales THE PHIL SWALES SHOW (@PhilipCSwales) reported

    @virginmedia I've just texted to cancel broadband and a CHATBOT has told me I need to use WhatsApp to do it. I dont use WhatsApp and dont intend to start, so what now? It's too late to write as we move house this saturday and my anxiety stops me from using the phone. Fix this.

  • zoe_davidson_nz Zoe Davidson (@zoe_davidson_nz) reported

    @virginmedia so I raised a complaint, was told it was resolved and has been closed. Rang again and the agent who did this suddenly has no memory of doing so. So I still am within my ‘minimum window’ which actually ended on 02/06 according to my contract. (2/2)

  • vmbusiness Virgin Media Business (@vmbusiness) reported

    @Jackiemulls @virginmedia Hi, thanks for getting in touch, sorry to hear this. Please can you give the customer care team a call to discuss this. They can be reached on this number: 0800 052 0800

  • Goose15_ Scott Burrows (@Goose15_) reported

    @virginmedia Spoke to someone who provided an existing ticket update (P011250563). IT should deal with it in a max of 5 days, the issue was not solved and the last time they did anything was 2 weeks ago! That's disgusting service! A new ticket raised today (P011285929) get IT to sort it!

  • SKSWH Sam (@SKSWH) reported

    @virginmedia I did not agree to the deal I received. After 10 hours on WhatsApp, I’m not convinced that I now have a deal I have been fully informed of - awaiting contract. Not valued as an existing customer

  • zoe_davidson_nz Zoe Davidson (@zoe_davidson_nz) reported

    @virginmedia once again incredibly disappointed in your service. I moved house and my contract got restarted so now I need to cancel my services and will incur penalties. I was not informed my contract was restarted by this unilateral change. (1/2)

  • BarryMcGuigan11 Barry McGuigan (@BarryMcGuigan11) reported

    @virginmedia can you help? I cannot access my app, nor my account. Message that I have not confirmed my account via email but the email never arrives no matter how many times I ask to resend it. Not in junk mail. Parental controls now on without my doing
