    @virginmedia Hi would it be possible for someone from your customer care based in the uk to phone me please.

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia Had enough - paying for a service - not getting what I pay for & just getting know where fast!!!!

  • jimaxyn Jimmy Regan (@jimaxyn) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to the team, they will arrange a repayment, my issue is that when you want the money, even if it's on the wrong day, you get it instantly, when I demand a refund it's 4-5 business days and that means I incur charges due to your mistake

  • kennythekilt kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia just joined virgin got sim today already want to leave after poor customer service via text told I’m confused and want a manager to call or I will leave told to leave then

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia The worst bit you get one letter on 6th Nov saying your case is being investigated & apologising for taking 8 weeks to sort, two days later the case is closed as I didn’t reply to a letter 4 weeks earlier I never received!!!!

  • starbuck2003 Julian Joyce (@starbuck2003) reported from Elmstead Market, England

    @virginmedia Hi i moved house on the 13th Dec and i contacted virginmedia that i would like to close my account. I have yet to have a final bill from yourselves and i had to cancel the direct debit as this would have gone out tomorrow for the full amount!

  • nofksgiven81 The man (@nofksgiven81) reported

    @juliabrennan5 @virginmedia Unfortunately no there isnt, and whatever fix date they give you they won’t keep to anyway, they are a ******* shambles, my fix date has been pushed back 3 times, due to be fixed tomorrow which is never gonna happen, they will apologise as always, that’s all they do

  • Avatar777897645 Avatar7 (@Avatar777897645) reported

    @virginmedia I’d be grateful if you can get the problem fixed asap please ? Leaving cable exposed is dangerous - children can come in contact or adult and May suffer significant harm

  • nofksgiven81 The man (@nofksgiven81) reported

    @virginmedia @cnoah21 Stop ******* apologising and start fixing some ****, take a look at all the tweets on here, Virgin are a pile of **** who never fix anything, just apologise and make the same excuses over and over,

  • ExtremePCUK ≡xtr≡m≡pcuk 🔜 #i69 🤟 (@ExtremePCUK) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SERVICE! I’ve worked with major computer and ISP’s over my time but by far Virgin Media is the worst! I pay £111 a month and not one person can help. Intermittent internet for a month but they say just wait another week it may be back on!

  • nofksgiven81 The man (@nofksgiven81) reported

    @virginmedia @MoizSiawala All you ever do is push dates back further & further, and then expect a simple sorry to be good enough, well it isn’t, my new expected date of fix in my area is tomorrow, the 3rd date you have given, we already know it won’t be fixed tomorrow, it’s ok, you will say sorry after

  • Rob77711 Rob (@Rob77711) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I really need help in getting my order resolved. I ordered broadband on 22nd November. For whatever reason I was not issued with a account number so I can not speak to anyone regarding this. I really need to find out what is happening

  • clanfan_kev Kevin Bell (@clanfan_kev) reported

    @virginmedia Friday, they advised the techinal team can help, but they had already told me to wait until i get a new appointment.

  • beenotthere Bee 🐝😌✨ (@beenotthere) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia Can you message me regarding the free data to help those in need? I've been trying to get a code for myself and haven't been able to get one. Thanks.
