  • chinwah33 Braxton hix (@chinwah33) reported from Ashford, England

    Well laters #virginmedia I will be off to sky when the contracts up next month. Terrible service, no TV again today and yet you still call me everyday to get me to take out another contract.

  • JoTreCanterbury JannerJo 🦠💉💥 (@JoTreCanterbury) reported from Canterbury, England

    @tryingattimes @virginmedia 100% correct took ages to cancel my 80yo mum's service when my dad got vascular dementia. They sent me all sorts of patronising messages on here. All designed to extract money from vulnerable people. STEER WELL CLEAR!

  • ElaneSlade elane slade (@ElaneSlade) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia can anyone in the UK retentions department actually listen to a call and call a customer back? I've tried calling this morning to check progress after more than 2 weeks and the people answering the phone can't understand what I'm asking I've been hung up on 3 times

  • dovermonkey Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia No. I received an email stating I didn't need to sign a new contract and it was classed as a service change.

  • _drewitt Lauren Drewitt (@_drewitt) reported from Smeeth, England

    @virginmedia another poor lengthy phone call with one of your customer service advisers following being mis-sold your services. Refusal to listen to our original telephone calls where we were mis-sold the service and refusal to accept any responsibility.

  • mrjcgoodwin Jonathan Goodwin (@mrjcgoodwin) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia Would rather you fixed the problem.

  • IamSarahJayJay SarahJay (@IamSarahJayJay) reported from Canterbury, England

    2. @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk no idea how to get into the account and claim it!! Can't seem to find my own account under either of my usual emails. Obvs I would like the credit as cash as I no longer hold a virgin media account so hoping customer service can help me locate it

  • DrPEDavies Dr Patrick Davies (@DrPEDavies) reported from Folkestone, England

    Virgin Media Customer Care Complaints Services always fails to come up with solutions. Rather, they continually offer verbose replies referring Customers elsewhere with endless phone numbers. Their standard is totally below the expected minimum!

  • Pakitodomenech Francisco Domenech 🇵🇸 (@Pakitodomenech) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia Watching the England game and the internet just stopped. What it’s going on lately with your service??

  • _drewitt Lauren Drewitt (@_drewitt) reported from Smeeth, England

    @virginmedia and after a previous phone call a few weeks ago where your adviser said we could write a letter of complaint, we have still received no response in writing as requested and today been told it’s not your policy to reply? Terrible service!

  • shipp_natalie Natalie Shipp (@shipp_natalie) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia none of the apps are working on my tv, can you advise how I can fix this please?

  • Pakitodomenech Francisco Domenech 🇵🇸 (@Pakitodomenech) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia you service is just below zero. Can’t get any connection. Just please give my money back and I move to something better. Thanks

  • Chataranga Martin Holme (@Chataranga) reported from Kennington, England

    @virginmedia on top of hundreds of spam junk emails we have umpteen scam calls on the landline. Very day I am getting increasingly saddened by Virgin Media’s inability to stop scammers and spam flooding my system. Very expensive terrible service

  • IamSarahJayJay SarahJay (@IamSarahJayJay) reported from Canterbury, England

    @virginmedia I forgot to screenshot it today.. But yeah it was showing up. Can't seem to get back on the account atm it's like it was down for maintenance. Will try later. Defo something on there though.

  • dovermonkey Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia So your code of practice section 3. Your case will remain open for 28 days so you'll have enough time to review and consider our proposal. Erm you've closed it after 2 days. Your service gets better

  • Bsid19451955 Bsid (@Bsid19451955) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia just when you really need Internet none! And fix time 16:00 today.

  • Andyelufc AndyEpps (@Andyelufc) reported from Ashford, England

    with @virginmedia tv stations being down for most of the day apparently , I'm just glad that @LUFC are not on the box tonight.🤬⚽💛💙 #wouldnotbehappy

  • dovermonkey Kirk Hughes (@dovermonkey) reported from Folkestone, England

    @virginmedia Your email re complaint makes now sense. You've closed it but not said how it has been resolved? C-1703211599 Please advise

  • Chataranga Martin Holme (@Chataranga) reported from Kennington, England

    @virginmedia do you have ANY customer service people working? I have tried ringing you for the last 24 hours and constantly get a ‘ring back later’ message. The service these days is appalling. I sent a tweet yesterday that mentioned Amazon and they replied to me. Virgin didn’t!

  • mrjcgoodwin Jonathan Goodwin (@mrjcgoodwin) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia Yes have posted in forums - no response, called, live chats, SMS. full works. Engineers even told us prob is not at our property as far back as Oct/Nov and neighbours have same issue but nothing is done, call centre staff are rude and treat you with contempt. Ref is C0912202465

  • sinajtojayz Janis Sinaj (PISCES) (@sinajtojayz) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia I’m disappointed to say the least. I’ve requested for my service to be cancelled instead you sign me up for a new package and add an extra £10 to my bill.i no longer want your service..!

  • langdonpiggott artist with scarf (@langdonpiggott) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Here is an idea ; proactively acknowledge that WiFi connections down for over 12 hours and suggest that the next bill we all receive reflects the loss of ‘service’. Look forward to seeing that!

  • chefmike56 Michael Darracott (@chefmike56) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia In thse hard times is virgin media aware that so many people not happy could so easily join somewhere else eventually making your company go bust . The service is dire

  • LisaMFricker Lisa Fricker (@LisaMFricker) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia The TV took 3 hours to sort out but fixed now. The broadband was more annoying as I work from home, was off from 1030pm last night until about an hour ago today. Also the service status on your website doesn't work either! Not a good service for the price we pay each month 😩

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

    @virginmedia You were going to then I had to cancel for some reason. Can never get through to anyone to discuss.

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @jasonkneen @virginmedia That page never seems to work for me.

  • DavidRice22 David Rice (@DavidRice22) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia You didn’t mention the refund that Virgin Media clients should be getting. Reputational damage is one thing, but unless these repeated service outages cost your shareholders money, things won’t improve.

  • weathers_16 weathers_16 (@weathers_16) reported from Harpenden, England

    @anormancfc @virginmedia @sky @virginmedia probably the worst company I have ever encountered for value and customer service 🤬

  • AnnaDaw150765 Anna Dawson (@AnnaDaw150765) reported from Redhill, England

    @AFCBCarl @virginmedia Yep just called them and they can’t help cos all their systems are down 😡 bloody useless

  • sgreaves1977 Steve Greaves (@sgreaves1977) reported from Royston, England

    @virginmedia sick of trying to contact you now for my mobile issue....dont want no chat bot or unhelpful bot or overseas operator I cant understand. I just want to speak to someone without getting cut of or not called back......not good enough
