@virginmedia There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the phone, I can travel to different areas and get 4 bars on my phone and it works no problem, the problem is in the area I live.The reception always used to be fine but for quite some time now it’s been awful, I currently have one bar.

@virginmedia why does my super hub 3 keep resetting my WiFi password. I’m having to change it through settings every other day because it keeps defaulting back to the security key, this is causing major issues

@virginmedia can someone explain that why after several issues I’ve had with you, that you think it’s ok, to hike up the bill £20 a month on a fixed fee contract?! #disgusting #poorservice #donotrecommend

@virginmedia Ooo a response! Now I have a dilemma - do I have to complain about the length of time it took to even try to help me with my original complaint? I do sincerely hope I actually get somewhere this time. The time I have spent trying to resolve this is astronomical!

@virginmedia As was promised (via, text, tweet and written correspondence!!) I have spent countless hours on hold to no resolve. I will await your promised call. Each day I don't receive said call/contact I will continue to demonstrate publicly how bad your customer services are..

Virgin Mobile. Utterly useless. All I want is to send a text and call people. My bill isn't due until 8th May. There is no online help. Really cheesed off. #virginmobile #virginmedia #virginbilling

@virginmedia am I to take your complete and utter silence as the refusal to resolve the outstanding complaint?!? the utter disregard you continuously display towards your customers is disgraceful. You should be ashamed. @MartinSLewis

Help @virginmedia. Once again I'm left unable to ring my doctors because you attempted the direct debit early and it failed. My Oomph sim will now not work until I make a payment. Please that's all I want to do. Do I need to go to Ofcom or the Ombudsman. This seriously effects me

@virginmedia internet yesterday went from 12mbs (11am) to 30mbs (3pm). Today it’s 3mbs. How is this acceptable? No reported issues but our internet goes up and down constantly, sometimes goes off altogether

@MintyPNE @virginmedia I ranted & got nowhere. My wife got an engineer round and job sorted (V box on 2nd room) They don't care about customer service.

@virginmedia Already tried this & the people who answer the calls aren't authorised to deal with it and so I get another promised phonecall which is never made!!! What are you going to do to rectify the problem that's been ongoing since November 2020?!?!?! @MartinSLewis #poorcustomerservice

@virginmedia Understood. As I said I will wait for what was promised and continue to highlight where virgin media fail to keep promises.

@virginmedia You are aware of the problem, told us it's a fault and it's being fixed by 12th April, it wasn't, we rang, you gave us reassurance it will be fixed by the 22nd, it hasn't, we rang got passed around a lot! Now you say it will be fixed 29th. Hands up if you would put up with this?

@virginmedia Again your customer service is an ABSOLUTE SHAMBLES @virginmedia Called again to get an update regarding installation, as advised by you. I’m now told the work by the prepull team was to be yesterday, but now it’s today, but it can be anytime in the next 3 weeks. Shambolic

@virginmedia Now the estimate is the 21st. The person on the phone also said she is sending a technician, I don’t see what they can do if it’s not a problem with my equipment?!

@virginmedia Yes we have checked all wires. It’s not just this box it is our upstairs also. This has been going on for over 2 months and more and more channels seem to be getting affected. It is really not acceptable. I called to follow up a complaint and they hung up

(@LiberianGirlJM) reported
@virginmedia Not good enough. I've paid for thr service you're not providing. We've already been without any service for 24 hours and it's not acceptable to make us wait over 10 days without any access to a TV service???? Do you think this is acceptable?

(@calibrax) reported
@Chadlad1 @POLITlCSUK @virginmedia Nope. But when your contract is up definitely look at the other options. Because if you ever have a problem with Virgin Media, their customer service is completely useless. Hard to contact, and even when you do they are clueless!

@virginmedia But this has gone on for months, not days or weeks. It can't be that difficult to identify the problem and find a solution.

@virginmedia So you’re not going to do anything about it, despite knowing it’s destined to let me down. Exactly the same attitude as the rest of virgin. The problem is, it’s taken almost 4 months. This is the issue; deep rooted - Virgin reps don’t care

@virginmedia I know the situation isn't virgins fault but I am now panicking with not knowing how i will be able to work tomorrow onwards. If we can have a bit more info than the non specific service prediction please
