  • 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.

  • kec1964 Kate Crisp (@kec1964) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia hi I have 2 WiFi boosters that I’ve never used and would like to return them but can’t face hanging on for hours to speak to someone on your helpline. Is there an address you can give me?

  • 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?

  • 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 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...

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

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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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 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

  • 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

  • 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

    @virginmedia Done it, respond within 28 days. I only get 14 days cooling off so have to cancel now. Can’t risk trying to cancel when they contact me on day 28 when I’m out cooling off period.

  • belle_vintage 📷 Ⓗⓔⓛⓔⓝart is workⒸⓛⓐⓡⓚⓔ🖋 (@belle_vintage) reported

    @virginmedia The first time I checked it said no issues.

  • RoshanyShahzad Roshany Shahzad (@RoshanyShahzad) reported

    @virginmedia I have absolutely no internet the service checker says the area looks fine but I can’t even see the wifi network listed and hub four is a solid white light what is going on?!!

  • pye_in_the_sky Pyeinthesky (@pye_in_the_sky) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I had already checked service status and it says there are issues in the area with a resolution first stated for 4pm today, now it's 8am tomorrow. This is day 2, my partner works from home and is unable to do his job.

  • antoniostrijdom Antonio Strijdom (@antoniostrijdom) reported

    @albertodebo @virginmedia I tried to cancel NTL (Virgin’s previous incarnation) once. It all seemed fine until a year later when they sent me a phone bill.

  • Tenacious_P Kook! (@Tenacious_P) reported

    @virginmedia The ******* hours, iver n again that I hear the same convuluted bullshit from different names. Im current owed £70 from the atrocious service and it doesn't even scratch the surface of the **** I've recieved

  • Bethany7800 Beth Shaw (@Bethany7800) reported

    @virginmedia Yes it’s resolved now but you have not addressed my question about raising a formal complaint? Please can you advise how I can do this?

  • HughBinns Hugh Binns (@HughBinns) reported

    @virginmedia how do I get to talk to an actual human being? Normal customer services through WhatsApp couldn't because I'm on an "oomph" package. The oomph number disconnects, and normal customer services just don't answer, after over an hour or holding so...enlighten me.
