    @virginmedia My phone is now over two weeks late, which isn’t an issue, I understand waiting for one to become available to send but to suggest I send this phone back and go without a phone until one eventually gets sent to me is just ridiculous. I’m not gonna pay my bills with no phone…

    @Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

    @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

    @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 hello Merry Christmas. If any one is there today so you know 8f the e mails are down as from early this morning it keeps asking me to put in mu password and then not recognising it but won't let me re set either and I can't send or receive any e mails :(

    @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.

    @virginmedia I contacted customer services for an update on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I was informed by your Twitter account I wouldn’t need to send my current phone back until I receive my new one. I was then informed by the gentleman on the phone my new phone won’t be sent until I send this

    @virginmedia 9/ speak but he kept interrupting me. He had no help for me for having no internet for 6 days. He kept sighing and refused to put me through to anyone who could offer anymore help.

  • macon1375

    @virginmedia @virginmedia can have no rival to the worst customer service out there! Said resolved an issue after held for over an hour only to find it’s not and I now can’t get back in touch. 2nd day work ruined

    @virginmedia There is a blockage, that I know - I have had no service since November. I was told it would not be sorted before March 6th. I had been promised 3 call backs from different people in the Exec Department - none have followed up.

  • muzzlejuice
    Steve wilson (@muzzlejuice) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I'm trying to cancel as I'm moving and asked for confirmation which was not provided , the duty manager refused to speak with me when I tried to escalate

    Q. What kind of moronic company thinks it enhances customer service by only allowing communication via WhatsApp on a phone? A. @virginmedia! @SkyUK here I come !

    DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia awful disgusting customer service. 3 different agents 3 conflicting replies and told other were lies! What has happened to virgin? Supervisor was so rude. Didn't listen and kept interrupting me with robot replies. #terriblecustomerservice #badcustomerservice

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

    @virginmedia I'm sorry for the two poor support staff who are trying to sell us new remote controls, routers and O2 sims - for more money - till we hit the nuclear option and say we're leaving to get what we're asking? We're loyal customers; why does it need to get to that?

  • KatiePurkiss
    Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    After 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, I’ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. 😔. #TimeforaChange

  • KatiePurkiss
    Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

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

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

    @virginmedia 2 hours and counting Is anyone at the end of your customer service phone line?

  • cryptocyphereth
    0x00000 (@cryptocyphereth) reported

    @tvrski @virginmedia Yeah. After disconnecting with their human support, I switched to another browser. This time, their web deal page worked, but the price was 50p higher per month than the one i initially seen. Still, it was significantly better than the offer the human agent gave me, so I just went ahead with the renewal.

  • philloeb
    Philip Loeb (@philloeb) reported

    @virginmedia your service is nothing short of abysmal. I signed a contract with you over a week ago, the very next day you sent the wrong contract to me. I have now been on the phone for over 2 hours this week trying to sort out your problem. 1 dept doesn’t speak to the other

    Dgjbear (@Dgjbear1) reported

    @virginmedia Why do you bother to ask everyone to send you a DM detailing our issue and then simply ignore it. I am now on hold to you customer service (lol) team for 2hrs 9mons. The team obviously doesn’t exist anymore. I will be messaging you in public until you reply to me

    @virginmedia online chat won’t work and seen as I can’t call, I have no way of discussing my expiring contract. Ridiculous customer service as usual.

    @virginmedia can you answer my call please. Been holding for over an hour. Your website does not resolve my issue of rubbish broadband

    @obbsie @virginmedia They are absolutely ****. Wouldn’t use them if they were free. They are dishonest and I wouldn’t trust them to run me a bath without cocking it up.
