  • als_adventures Al's Adventures (@als_adventures) reported from Chestfield, England

    @virginmedia He has a letter as a review. So we need to speak to someone to cancel it. He’s being charged each month according to this letter. Goodness knows how long for.

    @1sthappysodme @capiegirl @Adrienne65 @Janeopot @owlbird @mansellmum @henriettak @SkyIreland @virginmedia I used one of them after birth of my first born as terrible complications, I went home with a walking stick after 2 weeks, I was 27

  • andeenic Andy Nicoll (@andeenic) reported from Margate, England

    Three formal complaints to @virginmedia and three promises of a returned call within 24 hours. 3 fails out of 3. At least your appalling service is consistent

  • SamRSparrow Sam Sparrow 🇪🇺 (@SamRSparrow) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia I am extremely unhappy broadband been down since 1.15pm. Booked an engineer. This has been cancelled with no explanation. Can’t book another. Service status says it’s fine but many others online in CT10 says there is an area issue. First person on phone hung up.

  • rde42 Bob Eager Eur Ing #FBPE 🇪🇺 🇪🇺 🖤 #RejoinEU (@rde42) reported from Herne Bay, England

    @AgiBergman @JolyonMaugham @virginmedia They are both awful at customer service.

  • sheradondublin Sheradon Dublin (@sheradondublin) reported from Margate, England

    Morning @virginmedia, I’m starting to become a little fed up with your current business model. You take my money, but supply a less than reliable WiFi service. Will it take a cancelled direct debit to get your attention? Please fix. 😡

  • andeenic Andy Nicoll (@andeenic) reported from Margate, England

    @virginmedia Hi I have now chased up 4 times wasting countless pointless hours and it seems that I need to contact CISAS to get a response unless you can help. Ref number COM10411 f

  • als_adventures Al's Adventures (@als_adventures) reported from Chestfield, England

    @virginmedia can you please give me a way to contact you. You are charging my elderly Uncle for a mobile he’s never approved. For years. I can’t get through the line cuts me off. This is not acceptable

  • MagicIce Magic Ice (@MagicIce) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @QueenieandBlue @RageDarling @virginmedia Im with virgin media mine goes down with really really bad weather like we are having now. But apart that i carnt complain about the service. Because my sky goes at the same time as virgin does in the bad weather.

  • gadogrescue Guardian Angels Dog Rescue Ltd (@gadogrescue) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is very disappointing. Have nothing but problems but never get any help from you.

  • Pol77 Polly Danby (@Pol77) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia urgent help please. An extremely vulnerable lady’s landline is down. She has no log in details as these were set up by her late husband. Cannot get through to you by phone or by web chat. Please dm me with advice urgently, thanks

  • D4nBu7ke Daniel Burke (@D4nBu7ke) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia Nothing at all, I would like the complaint looked at today and I want a call or email. Not sms.

  • SamRSparrow Sam Sparrow 🇪🇺 (@SamRSparrow) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia The service status page hasn’t updated since 1pm. Everyone in the area has the internet down and yet I’m being told right now on the phone there is no problem. I had an engineer booked tomorrow and VM cancelled that and now can’t send one until Monday? Awful service.

  • jsfuller75 Jason Fuller (@jsfuller75) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia Is there a fix for your customer service as no one seems to want to help me on your messaging service.

  • sheradondublin Sheradon Dublin (@sheradondublin) reported from Margate, England

    @virginmedia The new box arrived, and the WiFi sorted itself out for now at least. The boosters are still generating the old network also. I’m planning on leaving everything as it is till it goes wrong again, then I’ll call.

  • jamesjukes17 James Jukes (@jamesjukes17) reported from Whitfield, England

    @virginmedia really do provide a disgraceful service. After a year of shockingly bad WiFi I was informed by their call centre that I could end my services upon end of annual contract with no notice period. Phoned again today to be told I had to give 30 days notice, meaning I 1/2

  • D4nBu7ke Daniel Burke (@D4nBu7ke) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    I sent a email to @virginmedia on the 15th January, I was given the following Complaint reference: C-150121161 And promised contact within 28 days, by my counting it’s been 2 months.....

  • drinkdevil40 Caggy  (@drinkdevil40) reported from Herne Bay, England

    @capiegirl @Janeopot @henriettak @mansellmum @1sthappysodme @Adrienne65 @owlbird @SkyIreland @virginmedia Boring weekend but then Francesca had ambulance sent to her yesterday as reacted to eggs, severe allergy. I was a wreck, but she’s ok now. Poor Sophie had to deal with this alone 😰

  • sheradondublin Sheradon Dublin (@sheradondublin) reported from Margate, England

    Hello @virginmedia, is there a way I can talk to someone about my WiFi problem this morning.

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve spoken with your customer service team but they aren’t able to sort anything until the fault has been rectified

  • drkcmpbll RUNDMC (@drkcmpbll) reported

    Honestly can't believe how much @virginmedia is letting me down. 23/12 no broadband. Service update says it'll be fixed by 12pm 23/12, then pushed out to 12:25am 24/12. Now showing 12:00pm 24/12. I guarantee no one is out working to resolve right now. Down tools.

  • lovemojo1991 Daughter of the king ✝ the lion 🦁 of judah✝ 🕊 (@lovemojo1991) reported

    @virginmedia yet again WiFi not working....shocker

  • gazbill61 G D ‘Peng’ 🔥🔥😁 (@gazbill61) reported

    When is the tv coming back on for Fy3 7df, its been off for 3hours 30mins now #notconnected://www.virginmedia.com/help

  • OhThisBloodyPC Oh This Bloody Computer (@OhThisBloodyPC) reported

    @RobLainton @virginmedia Virgin grew by buying cable TV co's with incompatible systems, like a first draft Frankenstein with parts supplied by Noah. Once it had deceived the market over its 'State of the Ark' systems, admitting its problem was never an option. So it must lie, damn lie and advertise

  • thenitinsinha Nitin Sinha (@thenitinsinha) reported

    @VirginMediaIEPR I have been trying for last months and 10 days to get connection. Although wiring is done , your system shows broadband not available . My property manager has mailed as well . This is pathetic customer service . @virginmedia

  • gazbill61 G D ‘Peng’ 🔥🔥😁 (@gazbill61) reported

    @virginmedia **** service, no television Fy3 7df(which I pay for!!), no communication, freeview here I come #notconnected

  • AlanAudioMan Alan AB 🗣🎙 (@AlanAudioMan) reported

    @virginmedia Yep. Checked it twice...like Santa. Nothing in email, to which I'm now on hold to the 'Tech Team'. 57 minutes on a call, still waiting for a resolution. #Grinched

  • 19JRT93 JosephRichard (@19JRT93) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for reply. We have already called repair team, they were unable to help and then informed us that we would be at least 5 days without TV. So that’s the entire Christmas holiday without TV. They’ve been with VM for over 10 years and never had service this bad.
