    @virginmedia I’ve had to call you in the past week 150 & you had to reset the router ... I shouldn’t need to do this! It’s your responsibility to ensure I have the service I pay (a lot) for!!!

    @virginmedia phoned to get a new deal and ended up giving notice to disconnect, not quite the customer service I expected

    Chloë Pritchard (@sewychloe) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia my mum’s landline has a fault - no dialling tone. She’s been on hold but can’t get through to a human to report it. We have both tried to report it via her online account but cannot access it. And yes she has wiggled her sockets! Help!

  • 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 😭

  • liamtheking
    Liam King UK (@liamtheking) reported from Oadby and Wigston, England

    @virginmedia Horrific broadband speeds, and even worse customer experience, being passed from pillar to post, continually repeating security questions, going through the story each time and being disconnected thrice in one day, without a single courtesy call back. No worries, BT’s gain

  • 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!!

  • SimeonHockley

    Something rather awful about being on hold with @virginmedia! 2 hours and counting....

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

    @virginmedia Sorry, I don’t have understand how posting on a forum will get me in contact with someone who can help me. The customer service isn’t good enough.

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

    FINALLY!!! After raising a serious complaint with @virginmedia with the prospect of the ombudsman getting involved... They've finally got my services up and running Now all that remains is for them to sort out some compensation and then we can pretend this never happened

  • 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?

  • Irish_Jane_
    Jane (@Irish_Jane_) reported from Hinckley, England

    @virginmedia worst customers service ever!!!!! Can you please sort my issue!!

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

    @virginmedia One of your tech engineers confirmed the problem in our local area and following a conversation with customer service they kept trying to get me to create multiple networks for speed. This wasn’t the problem, the problem was amplifiers in the local area!!

  • Katie68833952
    Katie (@Katie68833952) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia I'm not sure why, but our Internet and TV aren't currently working! No email to say work is being done. Online even says there's no issue which there clearly is. Area is LE2

  • 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

  • LittleTed84
    Chris Roberts (@LittleTed84) reported from Hinckley, England

    @virginmedia help! I dropped my virgin TV remote in my drunk and now it won't work! What do I need to to do to get a new one?

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

    @virginmedia I just never get anywhere, constantly going around in circles and no one seems capable or willing to help. The broadband kit provided isn’t fit for purpose considering how much I pay for it.

    @00johnjohn1903 @josephineinnit @virginmedia the trouble with bt is their speeds are not up to the speeds of virgin

    @Benleo Virgin Media internet doesnt work at all I have had 5 engineer visits and they keep moving my router to different places around the house there are wires everywhere and one of the engineers even broke my wardrobe while fitting the connection cable

  • GillGRobs
    Gill 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🩵 (@GillGRobs) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Really? They just sent me a new 360 box as they said mine wasn't recording properly yet I had no problems with it, they have ripped me off since I changed the account into my name from my late partners, no difference just a name change ive now been forced into a new contract.

    @virginmedia The outage is in my area (Hampshire) but this has now been going on since 1041am, 4 hours ago!

  • VoWSilla
    VoW Silla (@VoWSilla) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I phoned virgin due to having extremely slow Internet. They tried to sell me several other packages that would make me "wifi" faster as extra costs but insist I got the best speeds. And before I ended the call we were discussing mobile phone contracts that has nothing to do with my speed and I was honest to say, I can tell you are trying to sell me products that will not improve your service.

    Ian 🇬🇧 (@nightrider20244) reported

    @Benleo @CherryFaves0 @virginmedia They are useless the call centre staff are clueless I was only trying to be able to log into account on line and change bank details with them still never got it done all time I was with them I had to ring up every month to pay bill the only thing they understand is taking money

  • AndrewPittman2
    Andrew Pittman (@AndrewPittman2) reported

    @virginmedia @IanLythgoe4 We’ve been without TV for five days! Despite being told it would be sorted “ within 24 hours” on Saturday, now been told after a 30 minute phone call that no engineer available until next Saturday!! Shockingly bad service Virgin Media.

    @virginmedia @Benleo Of the 12 companies that Which review, you're the second worst.

  • Hamish88205796
    Hamish (@Hamish88205796) reported

    @Benleo Just email @virginmedia cancel for breach of contract effective immediately. Make sure you contact your bank to cancel any DD. Virgin will be on the phone begging you to keep giving them your money. It's the only method known to get customer service from them.

  • LouiseMensch
    Louise Bagshawe (@LouiseMensch) reported

    Wow. Shockingly bad by @virginmedia. Lying to @BenLeo that he needed a new contract in order to get equipment repaired, misselling him the contract with a box that didn’t work (admitted by them) and then telling him he wasn’t allowed to go back to his old contract.

    Kai Monroe Ⓥ🌱🌏✌️💙 (@KaiMonroe5) reported

    @virginmedia @Benleo I had VM for about 12 years and couldn`t fault the service. I only left because I got a cheaper provider who are okay. I will be returning to VM once my contract is up though.
