    Unbelievable! My mums internet service is having problems. The call centre seem unable to deal with this. This has been going on for months. I'm still on hold. If it's not sorted today you're losing a customer @virginmedia

  • bobby_harding_ Bobby Harding (@bobby_harding_) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Hi ALG, thanks for the reply, it’s greatly appreciated😊 After a long call with Yodel we’ve found out there was a system error resulting in them having to return to the depot & they will attempt to deliver today. Nevertheless, the problem has been the lack of communication to us.

  • mylovelybubbly Galina (@mylovelybubbly) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia on hold now 30min to cancel virgin account. No wonder I wan to leave you make customers pay almost £100 for service which not good. Then u keep customer on hold for over 30min. Amazing service 😂 not recommending to anyone virgin save the money and stress!

  • shannonispeng S H A N (@shannonispeng) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia are trying to say I owe them 2 months of bills even though I can see on my bank statement I paid last months bill. Can someone please advise me as I just sat on hold for 30 minutes only for the rude inept **** to hang up on me after placing me on hold. #fuming

  • Amanda_Davey12 Amanda Davey (@Amanda_Davey12) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I find it insulting that you infer it is a problem my end! Once again, the level of customer care is dreadful, and no fixing of the actual problem that we pay a monthly premium for!

  • hilarymillingt hilary (@hilarymillingt) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia it took my neighbour over 2 hours on phone but an engineer is coming today, taking 4 days for this is dreadful service

    After contacting Virgin Media on Twitter numerous tines on Twitter about no landline & getting no help since Friday my neighbour phoned 1/

  • MarkNorth78 Mark North (@MarkNorth78) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia I have requested my full account information to be sent to me under the freedom of information act, so that I can raise a formal complaint, earlier today. Was told it will be emailed to me immediately... Still nothing in my inbox. I'll probably have to call a 5th time.

  • Gemsy8382 Gemma Sargeant (@Gemsy8382) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Hi, the internet doesn't work full stop. It stops but the white light still shows in the box. She needs an engineer please

  • Amanda_Davey12 Amanda Davey (@Amanda_Davey12) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The link was broken, I have made a complaint online, you do have my phone number however, as our technology provider, someone should have called!

  • beckylucydell Becky Dell (@beckylucydell) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia your service is a joke. Just taken me 32 minutes to change my bank details on the phone. Call centre staff should be able to speak the same language as your customers to a standard high enough to be able to do the job. Such a waste of time 😩😩😩

  • Amanda_Davey12 Amanda Davey (@Amanda_Davey12) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia no TV for 24 hours, been on the phone for 50 minutes, guy has now disappeared, left me hanging on the line! The service is so bad!

  • Amanda_Davey12 Amanda Davey (@Amanda_Davey12) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia it goes on, we have had no Internet for 3 months, that’s finally been fixed and now no TV, and I am still on the line, 58 minutes, not sure where the guy has gone, I’m not putting the phone down!

  • hilarymillingt hilary (@hilarymillingt) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia 2/2 when I've rang them with a toy TV problem,s

  • buckers43 Andrew Buxton (@buckers43) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia I've been a customer with you for 21 years and your customer service is not great, I'm paying through the roof for my package, the wifi is crap sometimes, your team has offered to take my bill down £20, but when I mentioned about replacing my hub, that will cost £35

  • SGuggiariPeel Sam Peel (@SGuggiariPeel) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia worst customer services I've ever dealt with. They make it hard to complain then lied to me twice deliberately and closed the complaint before it was resolved. Don't trust them!

  • bobby_harding_ Bobby Harding (@bobby_harding_) reported from London, England

    I have just received the most atrocious customer service from @virginmedia ! WiFi was supposed to be here two days ago because it was signed for at the wrong address & I’ve just been told by a supervisor that there’s nothing they could do, thanked me for my time. Then hung up!😡

  • Amanda_Davey12 Amanda Davey (@Amanda_Davey12) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately the guy just put the phone down on me and that link is not working!

  • antonypatrickuk Antony Patrick Assoc (@antonypatrickuk) reported from Hammersmith, England
