  • s_birket Daisy (@s_birket) reported from Coventry, England

    @virginmedia Internet suddenly cut out yesterday, all checks done, but first available tech appt is 3rd Nov. I wfh, that will be 5 days without broadband. That's appalling.

  • HarjitDosanjh8 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!

  • 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!!!!

  • mscotty0592 Martin Scott (@mscotty0592) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @virginmedia Ordered the boxing and it’s not working

  • JessLeighA Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @virginmedia can we actually talk to someone that can help rather than pass us on? it’s a joke at this point.

  • GodivaGuidedogs GodivaPuppyAppeal (@GodivaGuidedogs) reported from Nuneaton, England

    @itsmeAlexVega @virginmedia I’ve used Virgin Media for years but going to cancel when my current contact expires

  • JessLeighA Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @virginmedia that’s the number we were on. 2 hours later we finally have our cool-down period cancelled.

  • JessLeighA Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @virginmedia can you help please we’ve just been passed around to 4 different people and they hung up on us.

  • 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 ??

  • GodivaGuidedogs GodivaPuppyAppeal (@GodivaGuidedogs) reported from Nuneaton, England

    @virginmedia Mainly because you’re now too expensive, called retention team and was offered a derisory £4 discount. Enquired about new streaming service, agent knew nothing about it

  • JessLeighA Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    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

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

    @virginmedia 5 days no internet, promises of 24 hours it will be running, then told a little maintenance, yesterday at 9:30am we were told in 9 hours you will get a call guaranteed (didn’t happen). All day today no work has got done! Poor internet for years and now none!! WTH!!

  • JessLeighA Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @Jake_BHughes @virginmedia we had similar issue. they came when we were on holiday, no communication. we rang, were told they were coming yesterday to connect us, they didn’t arrive. told they’re coming today, didn’t arrive. spent 2 hours on the phone cancelling and was hung up on 3 times.

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

    @virginmedia @O2 @peterkay_co_uk I think your service is a laughing show. Years and nothing ever fixed finally time to move on.

  • GodivaGuidedogs GodivaPuppyAppeal (@GodivaGuidedogs) reported from Nuneaton, England

    @virginmedia Even more reason to cancel, typical corporate strategy why offer people something cheaper in today’s economic climate when you can continue to rip them off

  • JamesMartinTVR 🇬🇧 James Martin ACAM BA (Hons) 🇬🇧 #FBPB (@JamesMartinTVR) reported from Hinckley, England

    @virginmedia @primevideouk - Why does @BBCiPlayer on your devices not support the 4K football feeds? It only works through the app on my television which isn't particularly ideal.

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

    @virginmedia currently on the phone and surprise surprise sir give us another 24 hours!! Are you mad! I’m pulling my hair out!!! I’ve never tweeted before but my guess is it’s the only way they’ll pull there finger out!!!

  • JessLeighA Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @ndarby90 @virginmedia we got hung up on 3 times trying to cancel. then they tried to sell us more things. can’t even comprehend it

  • TheBluestStar 👻🎃Tara but a spookier version🎃👻🏳️‍🌈🇮🇸🇮🇪 (@TheBluestStar) reported from Coventry, England

    @virginmedia My parents TV and broadband have been down all day. My mum has been calling your customer service line all day and no-one is answering.

  • JessLeighA Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @Jake_BHughes @virginmedia apparently we have a blockage where they need to connect us, which is what we would need fixing by thursday. being that unreliable we decided to cancel everything with them fully. a shame because what they offered was great. customer service department is not easy to get round 😭

    @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

  • Kimmlennon Kim Marie Lennon (@Kimmlennon) reported

    @Matthew_Wright @virginmedia Change to @bt_uk. Never any problems.

  • 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!!
