    @virginmedia experiencing the worst customer service I have ever had. Been a customer for 10+ years but not after today @SkyUK will be gaining another customer instead

  • NickLovell_ Nick Lovell (@NickLovell_) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia so my services, since being installed have not worked more than they have worked. As first impressions go this is very bad. If this isn’t fixed by this afternoon I will cancel my services as im still within 14 days cooling period.

  • NickLovell_ Nick Lovell (@NickLovell_) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia new broadband install today, was working fine now nothing. Your website won’t allow me to set up my account to check local service. Im an ex virgin engineer so know what to do and check. No Down or upstream signals. Same for neighbours. Get this sorted immediately

  • kelly_bingham2 Kelly Bingham (@kelly_bingham2) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia you are an absolute shambles and that’s me being polite .... countless amounts of calls, hours on end of holding on the line and trying to resolve a very simple issue and it is STILL not resolved ..I am beyond frustrated now and will never ever use you again

    Don't ever used @virginmedia they really aren't worth a cup of cold piss and their customer services are ****!

  • STantepudi sunil tantepudi (@STantepudi) reported

    @virginmedia such a poor customer service you got..If a Tech support personnel (some Nicholas) beleives he can rudely cut customer call then he must be sure your org can do nothing to him. What complaints procedure do u have, if any? not that I have any high hopes..

  • LangfordVal Val Langford (@LangfordVal) reported

    @virginmedia good thing I've got an office i can go to as internet's been down all day. Daughter not so lucky...as a Digital Coordinator she's had to tether to 4G all say. Far from ideal.

  • bradydavidjohn David John Brady (@bradydavidjohn) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia - (1) you are trying to charge me £104 for a £30 per month contract that has ended, I set up a new deal but still are refusing to allow to pay a normal price for one month. Complaint raised, phone call wasn't listened to, blanket resolved complaint email when the...

  • cearacleveland ceara (@cearacleveland) reported

    @virginmedia why is it impossible to speak to someone either online or on the phone about getting a booster? your app just takes me to a page to register my interest for a pod, which doesn’t help. it shouldn’t be this difficult to speak to someone.

  • fokalisha Kalisha Forrest (@fokalisha) reported

    @virginmedia It’s a long story, I’ve tried to log a complaint twice also which hasn’t updated on my account so I don’t think it’s been recorded on your system. Spoken to 3 different people, all rude and gave different answers. Your website states you are willing to help those struggling!

  • JamesWalkerLyon JWL (@JamesWalkerLyon) reported

    Another Virgin Media Broadband outage in Blackhall EH4. 3 in as many days. Useless!

  • sarahwisey Sarah Wiseman (@sarahwisey) reported

    @virginmedia Also, that link isn’t working or recognising my password or username (the one I’ve used to sign in via the link in the email I was sent - edge worked, but not chrome) so I cannot see if there are outages - it’s also been poor since we installed it

  • zombie_apoc1 GJM (@zombie_apoc1) reported

    @virginmedia Hi Gareth I certainly will. I’m waiting for someone to reply to my last message because I still feel being charged for 1GIG since the start without the service is unfair. Why should I be liable for £180 when I rarely had full internet and when it was working it dropped constantly

  • Ryan_Meldrum_99 CaptainCucumber99 (@Ryan_Meldrum_99) reported

    @virginmedia Yes the issues are WiFi only and no there is no issue with signal the hub just disconnects from everything at random times for a while, turns back on again then repeat. It’s been happening for at least 4 months now
