    @virginmedia 1.I have a huge problem, I have received my installation pack today, after a long wait. I have ordered the big bundle with the finer internet. The installation pack didn’t include a router. I called your customer service, after talking to some other departments I hav

  • elifnur Elif Nur Karlidag (@elifnur) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia 2. been directed to the installation department, the lady on the phone was extremely (extremely!!) rude and uncooperative, she said I have to call another day, customer support and she doesn’t have access to anything; she raised her voice to me, I wanted to make a

  • telpierce Terry Pierce (@telpierce) reported from Islington, England

    45 mins/3 departments and counting to speak to the right person at @virginmedia simply to terminate when we move... And then they ask why we don't want to stay! Every single interaction with that business is abysmal.

  • scottyboy1973 Scott Brindley (@scottyboy1973) reported from Ilford, England

    @adelarks @GemMcK13 @virginmedia Just cancel your contract if you're not getting the service

  • mattlfc78 Matt Browne (@mattlfc78) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia your customer service has been awful my wife was on hold for an hour and a half and now your staff have given me a new package without my consent!!!

  • scottyboy1973 Scott Brindley (@scottyboy1973) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia When my broadband went down and I had to deal with your customer service #virginmedia #fixmybroadband #poorcustomerservice

  • FiorePanke Fiorenza M. J. Panke 🇪🇺 (@FiorePanke) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down! It’s connected but it doesn’t work! I tried everything, also calling your support team but still on hold!

  • scottyboy1973 Scott Brindley (@scottyboy1973) reported from Poplar, England

    @Ofcom @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog Virgin Media, you are the worst! Offering me a paltry £20 compensation for 10 days of total service loss. You deny it was a total loss not intermittent so I am not eligible for Ofcom compensation! False! #virginmedia #poorcustomerservice

  • BenAlderweireld Mate Parlov (@BenAlderweireld) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia omds can you sort out your ‘service’

  • scottyboy1973 Scott Brindley (@scottyboy1973) reported from Ilford, England

    @tinytwink @virginmedia Not the rubbish customer service line, wish you luck

  • scottyboy1973 Scott Brindley (@scottyboy1973) reported from Poplar, England

    @BBQColin @virginmedia Fingers crossed they resolve it soon. No amount of money can make up for it, I would just like decent customer service that gives you concise, current and correct information as well as regular updates #virginmedia #fixmybroadband #poorcustomerservice

  • AngusTeee Angus Teee (@AngusTeee) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia @curu We appreciate your sympathy but we need action. And I’m gonna need therapy if I have to keep listening to the same three awful songs on a loop on your 0345 number - I’ve been on hold for over 40 minutes now ... 😐

  • AngusTeee Angus Teee (@AngusTeee) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia For the first time, I got a text confirming you had done the work - and the service appears to be working now. Let’s hope it stays that way ... 🤞 Very disappointed by the confusion on your website last night plus a 45 minute wait to speak to technical support

  • majrav Majid Ravandi (@majrav) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia without doubt the most DISGRACEFUL service EVER. You constantly attempt to take advantage of elderly vulnerable adults. We have been trying for weeks to talk to u & have me put on as authority to talk, & you won’t help, but you continue to send threatening letters.

  • AngusTeee Angus Teee (@AngusTeee) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia @curu You don’t need to take my details. You just need to be able to communicate clearly what is going on. I finally spoke to someone who said there’d been ‘a breakdown in the digital network in the area’ - whatever that means - and gave a 2am estimated time of resolution. 🤞

  • CraigFamilyBlog Hayley & Gavin (@CraigFamilyBlog) reported from St Albans, England

    Gav and I have had no mobile phone service for 3 days, but I have no service to call @virginmedia to let them know! It happens far too regularly. Just spent the morning searching for a new deal. @O2 looks like the best so far!

  • AngusTeee Angus Teee (@AngusTeee) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia No - you don’t seem to think anything’s wrong. But there is - our neighbours also have no service. So there’s definitely a problem.

  • tonypaulway Tony Way - Bloke off the telly (+Films) (@tonypaulway) reported from Hackney, England

    @profanityswan I mean, his pinned Tweet is a public complaint to Virgin Media customer service from 2016. So that’s what your dealing with.

  • elifnur Elif Nur Karlidag (@elifnur) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia 5. Not only I am upset and surprised of the problem, I also feel abused by your representative in the call center.

  • mgrazia_baf sbruffoncella #antifa🇮🇹🇪🇺🇬🇧🌋 (@mgrazia_baf) reported from London, England

    In a world that runs on the net if you are a @virginmedia customer you have to wait 4 days for an engineer to fix a modem, installed only in November 2018. IT’S NOT A JOKE!!! Thank you for letting me loose a day of work and 3 days worth of studying. #virginbroadband

    @virginmedia Been waiting on the phone 30 minutes now, really not a good service. Don’t remember it taking this long to start my contract..#poorservice

  • KeithCP2 Keith Pates (@KeithCP2) reported

    @virginmedia The landline has not worked for about 3 years but I expect it has been paid for in the package I have it just says check phone line on the phone, I can't get to where it is plugged in on the windowsill, mobile I switched to EE due to a dodgy sim by virgin no service if not

  • LallyDav Davinder Singh (@LallyDav) reported

    @virginmedia It’s been 10 days and my number hasn’t changed. This is very concerning as I might lose a number I have had for 20 years. I am having to call multiple times, now I am told 2 more days. Let’s hope it gets done now…. Also no update on complaint…

  • rick__uk Rick (@rick__uk) reported

    @virginmedia - hi. I’ve had a price rise letter. And want to cancel my account as a result. Partly for this reason, partly because your Wi-Fi is constantly dropping out. But you’re making it impossible. I can’t cancel online and can’t get through on any number.

  • deedeej90 Denise Jack (@deedeej90) reported

    @virginmedia I still have bad connection and it’s intermittent. This needs looking into! One bar on Wi-Fi?

  • Craigybeales Craig Beale (@Craigybeales) reported

    @virginmedia just been on hold to you for 45 minutes before you cut me off. You gave me the deadline of tomorrow to cancel after you increased my monthly cost! Please cancel my broadband

  • SteveDPIves Steve Ives (@SteveDPIves) reported

    @virginmedia The problem is with wi-fi, so the diagnostics don’t help as they only check the service to the hub. The wi-fi is not fit for purpose.

  • andy_drage Andy Drage (@andy_drage) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I am and I have called just now and there is a message saying the service is unavailable for technical reasons and the waits are longer than usual 😤 you have to agree it isn’t very impressive!

  • missdonnamoore Donna (@missdonnamoore) reported

    @virginmedia I want a complaint raised this is beyond a joke, get through to somebody who dosent understand so said was transferring me and the line drops

  • MetzieMetz The Artful Dogger (@MetzieMetz) reported

    @virginmedia another day, another 45 min wait to speak to customer service... and counting! What’s the complaint procedure please?
