  • Garrardinho Gary Lager (@Garrardinho) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Can you arrange for one of them to call me tomorrow to resolve as it's a very simple issue but not one I can sort out through your automated service and I don't appreciate being messed about because someone's near the end of their shift.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • abivedder Abi ن (@abivedder) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia still no internet. Very annoying Saturday evening. I have done every single thing advised, have it plugged in by Ethernet at the moment but it still is not working 🤬🤬

  • FoxSlfox sharon fox (@FoxSlfox) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia What is wrong with the broadband having no problem for days even weeks but no service at all now . Hope we will be refunded for service that not being provided

  • abivedder Abi ن (@abivedder) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia please help, my box won’t work, I can’t watch anything, been sat here for over an hour trying to fix it. So fed up with virgin internet.

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

    @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

  • danidelavega Dani (@danidelavega) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia shocking WIFI service, well, lack of, two days in a row. Sort out or I’m going back to Sky. You cannot treat customers like this. Embarrassing

  • monkeyboys1 neil (@monkeyboys1) reported

    @virginmedia Yes absolute joke that you are now charging me for a cancellation charge of £69.99. Never will I use virgin media again. 🤬

  • Toria277 Toria (@Toria277) reported

    @virginmedia my 70 year old Dad is trying to call you guys (on mobile) since his phone line is down but you claim it’s working properly? Can someone please help? He needs his landline to work for obvious reasons.

  • federilli Fede Rilli 🇮🇹🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@federilli) reported

    @virginmedia You realise what a bloody waste of time this is. I cannot work like this - never ever had these issues with BT. Your wifi doesn’t work at all. The signal is so poor doesn’t travel one floor below at all either. Problems left right and centre

  • Tarrybear87 Tarry® (@Tarrybear87) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 being that you have merged now that there would be a option for a mobile WiFi box for a week to get us connected as you have a problem getting cable to us at the moment so going put us without internet for a week till you connect us

  • TaylorJP28 Taylor (@TaylorJP28) reported

    @virginmedia Yep, we did that yesterday with the telephone customer service man. Still having the same issues unfortunately.

  • _TeshyAnn TeshyAnn 👑✨ (@_TeshyAnn) reported

    Hello @virginmedia help me understand how a student is supposed to pay £142 because you don't provide your services at my new accommodation and your customer service just kept on singing terms and conditions instead of trying to find a solution 🙄@VMSolutions_

  • daviebhoy08 daviebhoy08 (@daviebhoy08) reported

    @virginmedia how long do u need to leave to qualify to be a new customer as loyalty seems not to get u very far 95 a month for not a lot yet a new customer gets the full package for 77 a month ? Just spent a hour on phone only for the call centre to hang up on me

  • esmelucy23 Frances Lyle (@esmelucy23) reported

    @virginmedia I have phoned customer services and they have advised there is a problem in our area, and engineers are working on it. Why couldn't it have said that on your web page?
