    @virginmedia I have been with you for 7 years now and each time I think this service is getting worse and worse depending on who you speak to

  • NickAnstead Nick Anstead (@NickAnstead) reported from London, England

    Predictably depressing experience calling @virginmedia to cancel contract this afternoon. *On hold for several mins. * Offered £2 off contract monthly by automated answer phone message when I navigate through phone menus saying I want to leave. Say no on touchpad.

    @virginmedia last Friday I was on hold for 1 hr before being cut off. Tonight I’m trying again to arrange an engineer 2 come 2 my hse to sort lack of BB coverage. So far I’ve been waiting 44 mins as I’ve just upgraded I think I’ll action the cooling off period and can’t service

  • candylion5 Sam Hicks (@candylion5) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Internet from @virginmedia cut out every day for the last at least 2 weeks. Customer service is abysmal. Bye.

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I telephone back in June to report an issue only to be fobbed off by one of your call representatives. Then I telephoned again in August because my issue had got worse to be promised a manager will call me back on several occasions no one did.

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    Virgin Media I would not recommend you to my worst enemy after being promised 8 times a manager will call me back within 1 hour disgraceful

  • marvelreid83 Darren Reid (@marvelreid83) reported from Romford, England

    I start off in a good mood until I speak to @virginmedia customer services! Never understand me so never get my issues resolved! Seriously!!!! 🤬🤬

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It was from broadband team the gentleman name was Robert. He was not listening to anything I had to say he was beginning to annoy me so I had to put the phone down before I said something I would regret

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I called several times about my broadband to be promised a manager would telephone me back no one never did then you call me back asking for more money not good customer service don't you think

  • nisbig10 philip gibson (@nisbig10) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia what an absolutely shocking service , on and off the phone from 11:00 am until 22:00 regarding my broadband service , nobody has a clue to what’s happening , been given completely conflicting information and website giving false information #offcom will receive copy

  • JamesMarsh1974 James Marsh (@JamesMarsh1974) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Just check area 22 for problems, please.

  • JamesMarsh1974 James Marsh (@JamesMarsh1974) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia You are, as ever, not admitting any service issues. Have run your tests through the site and restarted my entire home network.

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Yes and my hardwired connection was terrible as well paying for 350mb was only receiving between 40 and 70 MB on download. The Wi-Fi I resolve with my £400 mesh system

  • EreiraS steven ereira (@EreiraS) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It seems ok the last few times I have checked it, but the whole point of this is that several months have passed with poor service poor management and me getting not the service I am paying for. Only time you want to telephone is when you want more money

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

    @virginmedia thanks again to the #wankers @virginmedia who cut me off again after 1 hour and 2 mins. So by way of a payback if I don’t get a call in the next two hours I’ll cancel my DD and you can ******* stick your service you your shitty arse!!!!!!!

  • Srahak Sarah Kearney (@Srahak) reported

    @virginmedia what is happening with signal?! Second day I’ve lost all internet. Not particularly helpful when Working from home! It’s not good enough.

  • ShieldsDigital Paul Shields 😷 🇪🇺 (@ShieldsDigital) reported

    @virginmedia I just called it and there is still the same message "there aren't any issues". In the past few minutes the packet loss stopped, so hopefully that means it is fixed.
