    @virginmedia Thanks. The text service doesn’t work well to say the least. How do I post a question on the community to get an order placed please?

    jesus christ talking to virgin media on the phone is ridiculous we rang to cancel, got hung up on 3 times, after 2 hours finally cancelled and after cancelling they’re trying to get us to sign up for phone contracts and sim cards! like we would want that after we just cancelled

    2 weeks now and I still haven't got any service from @virginmedia!!!! I'm starting to think they're doing this on purpose

  • MatthewWalne
    Matthew Walne MCSI (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia 3 hours wasted on SMS service only to be told I need to call tech team! Service is beyond terrible

  • DenhamKite
    Denham Kite (@DenhamKite) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia - what number do I call to talk to a real person to sort this rubbish before I cancel?

  • rahim94
    Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Narborough, England

    I'm seriously considering cancelling @virginmedia!!! I'm getting ****** off with them. 11 days without a service is unacceptable!!!

  • LeFuzzyOtter
    Ann Chapman (@LeFuzzyOtter) reported from Hinckley, England

    Is anyone else having issues with @virginmedia? Internet is being very spotty and seems others are having issues too according to Down Detector.

    High End Chauffeurs of leicester (@HarjitDosanjh8) reported from Thurnby, England

    @virginmedia So whilst on the phone you put us through to get a dongle as an emergency and you tried to charge us £39! Wow the cheek of it!

  • ollieg21296
    Ollie (@ollieg21296) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @virginmedia That didn’t sort any of the issues out. I’d like an engineer to come out please and take a look

  • SmallPaulDJ
    smallpauldj (@SmallPaulDJ) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia I'm paying over 50 pounds just for 100mg broadband already! Why can a new customer get TV etc to for just 30? Conveniently the phone lines all seem off.

  • MonikP_97
    Monik Patel (@MonikP_97) reported from Oadby and Wigston, England

    @virginmedia Definitely the worst broadband provider. How are you meant to wfh with no internet ??

  • breadf2man
    Fazal Rehman (@breadf2man) reported from Loughborough, England

    Just put another complaint into Virgin Media about the fact that my original complaint from the 22/04/21 has not been dealt with and no details of when it will be if ever. I complained about having to make over 13 phone calls all lasting at least 20 minutes and 2 engineer visits

    @virginmedia You don't have internet access yet you are on twitter? Can you not get someone to ring me. I am stuck on hold, 16 minutes now, waiting to resolve your issue!

  • ASJPhotography
    Alexandra Johnson (@ASJPhotography) reported from Coalville, England

    @virginmedia have to be the MOST unhelpful when it comes to customer service. I’ve been going round and round and round for an issue your technical engineer has already highlighted!!!!

  • Lis4learning

    @virginmedia is there a problem with your website? I keep clicking on links and not working. I have a problem with my broadband.

  • breadf2man
    Fazal Rehman (@breadf2man) reported from Thurmaston, England

    @virginmedia If 8 of your operators and an engineer cannot fix my Virgin Broadband I dont think the forum is going to do a lot unless they come to my house and repair it

  • lizdixon77
    Liz (@lizdixon77) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia constant problems with broadband over past few weeks, still not up to 500mb speed I should be. Calls to your call centre are pointless and no promised calls back received!

  • doffcapgov
    doffcapgov (@doffcapgov) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @sueperkins @virginmedia Glad you are publicizing their appalling customer comms whilst @virginmedia shamelessly provide a lousy service and increasing monthly subs by stealth

  • ddrbowella
    David Richards (@ddrbowella) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia The service keep cutting out. And having to reboot 3/4 times a week. If no one comes and fix the fault. I will cancel everything and go to the ombudsman to claim back all the money paid for a fully working service.

    @virginmedia you are swapping from Analog to Digital phone service. Can you guarantee T38 fax protocol will work as before? and yes fax machines are still used.

  • firth_graham
    Graham FIrth 🇬🇧💙💛🤍🐕 (@firth_graham) reported

    Thanks @virginmedia for cancelling installation due today with less than 24 hours notice. Great you think it’s acceptable to now leave me for 2 weeks with no working from home or security cameras. Customer services can’t be bothered to call back, guess I’m leaving before joining

  • MelG54321
    Mel54321 (@MelG54321) reported

    @virginmedia services down in my whole area since Thursday night. Only got a message at 18.30 yesterday that they had an engineer on site. Child trying to revise for their GCSEs has no Internet access.

  • Cloverbeech
    Gary Silvester (@Cloverbeech) reported

    @rpd_pacer @virginmedia OK. I know a lot of people over here. I’ll switch into Starlink, I suppose it’s the trade-off of a good deal and package versus terrible and infuriating customerservice! Good luck

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia dude virgin media probably dont even know what theyre charging you for their customer service is so *** talk to an ombudsman theyll get back to you much quicker

    @virginmedia you lot are ******* shocking !!!! Needed internet for my new house you installed the outside service to the wrong address had to cancel the order and now everyone I speak to you at yourself passes me to someone else or don’t understand simple English !!

  • greencatbooks
    Green Cat Books ~ publisher | bookshop | mentor (@greencatbooks) reported

    @melon_h @virginmedia I switched to Sky last month. I was out of contract with VM and they were charging me £90 a month. They now reckon that I owe over £200 and have unleashed debt collectors, although I did try and cancel them (no contract). I have a referral link for Sky if you like? Gives us both some money off I think

  • Ana1Atkinson
    Ana Atkinson (@Ana1Atkinson) reported

    @virginmedia These problems have been on & off since Thursday. Will we get compensated & will Virgin issue a statement to their customers to let us know what is going on? It seems like you have serious problems & just keep saying it will be fixed in 24 hrs. I have no landline, tv or internet
