    @virginmedia you have an exposed wire that goes down the side of my house and across my back garden so you’re able to provide a service to some houses below. I can’t find any written consent from the previous owners of the house. Major work will be starting soon...

    @virginmedia Thanks can you point me to your website where this text service number is displayed? If so I’ll use it, if not, I won’t.

  • WizardOfPinball Liam (@WizardOfPinball) reported

    @virginmedia been ignored a couple of times now, I cancelled my contract 3 weeks ago and have not received the confirmation email despite being told I would receive it. I then phoned up again and was told it would be sent to me, but I have still not received it, any help?

  • Khan_Zaka KhanZaka (@Khan_Zaka) reported

    @virginmedia I have been trying get my installation issue solved from last 4 days but it seems no one is trained or committed to help.

  • GeorgieElston Georgina Elston (@GeorgieElston) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia absolutely horrible service. The virgin media cable was laid across a walk way / driveway where people could trip over it and cars are driving over it and you won't send an engineer even though its clearly dangerous!

  • JoyShivaji Shivaji Joy (@JoyShivaji) reported

    @virginmedia I can not login in to my email, always says try after an hour, this is going on 2 months. Called customer service, waited an hour and finally answered the call, then he transferred to another person. Both of them saying “my email account is deleted and advised to create another.

  • DigitalDoodler Chelsey (@DigitalDoodler) reported

    @sayfulyg Just had a very pleasant chat with Kevin @virginmedia - seeing if theres anything he can do to change my mind (nope) buuut he did mention it sounded like I needed an engineer to come and check out our signal settings and box. Wish they'd offered that before! Maybe worth a shot?

  • 1978dmc Dan (@1978dmc) reported

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp can you chase up a complaint I made about mis-selling and poor customer service please. Was told I would hear in 72 hrs but that was 12 days ago or because it was about customer service would they have already binned it?! Can supply complaint ref no.

  • kwezi4 Margaret Manning (@kwezi4) reported

    @virginmedia What is the point in complaining when you never get back to the complainant!!!!! Yest again losing Internet, happening ever since 23rd March 2020. NEARLY A YEAR AND STILL NOT FIXED. VERY POOR SERVICE, STILL HAPPENING

  • LauraDavies80 Laura Davies (@LauraDavies80) reported

    @virginmedia COMPLAINT - I ordered a quick start broadband package from you which was meant to be delivered to collect+ today. I have just called to chase the order to be told it’s been cancelled for no reason. I was then cut off when I asked to be put through to complaints!!
