  • 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?

  • 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’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?

  • 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!

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Your customer service is the worst I have seen

  • 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

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

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

  • RERomain Rachel Romain (@RERomain) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia It has been almost 30 years since he was a new customer... 🙃

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!!

  • 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

  • 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??

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

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

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

  • davidturleyuk DTavfc (@davidturleyuk) reported

    @DiRuss64 @virginmedia Terrible company Virgin Megia is Diane.left hand and right hand spring to mind. Our internet was down 3 weeks with them with a key worker here. They did nothing. Took me 6 weeks to finally cancel. Such a relief. BT openreach not as fast but works 👍

  • AnthonyBraithw7 Anthony Braithwaite (@AnthonyBraithw7) reported

    @virginmedia So if I dont want it ,how much will my bill come down ,we only use landline for emergency, does it mean any contract is voided with virgin not providing the services I pay for .

  • LisaLewington6 Lisa Lewington (@LisaLewington6) reported

    @virginmedia You have the worst customer service. I've been on hold twice for 30 minutes each time and then cut off and not one person has tried to call me back. Shocking service!! Avoid like the plague

  • AnthonyBraithw7 Anthony Braithwaite (@AnthonyBraithw7) reported

    @virginmedia Your going to cancel our landline apparently so need to plug something into hub from phone line ,they are not in same room so no good to me ,think will contact other companies to keep my phone line .

  • WillAle69881479 Will Alexander (@WillAle69881479) reported

    @virginmedia So now after 43 mins, I was put on hold and now the call was terminated! Ridiculous customer service

  • ALadder75 AdderGoesForth (@ALadder75) reported

    @SaintSouthside @virginmedia I hate the ******* mate but they’re the only reliable one in my area, all others are under 50mb n patchy as ****

  • JayShidoo Jay (Mandeep) (@JayShidoo) reported

    So @virginmedia you have to be kidding me. I’ve come home from work and my internet is not working again. Fix your ****

  • WillAle69881479 Will Alexander (@WillAle69881479) reported

    @virginmedia And there in lies the problem. There isn't an agreed price. I'm on a contract, have been for ages, M100 and all of a sudden I'm on M200 and double the price and a new 18 month contract. I'll be emailing in and no doubt making multiple calls again tomorrow

  • brightonbecks beckymarshall (@brightonbecks) reported

    @virginmedia been trying since 6pm last night to cancel my contract and still waiting absolutely shocking customer services
