    Hi @virginmedia received a letter this morning advising me of price rise and providing a link for more info. The link directs me to call and you don't answer. Any suggestions? I'd like to cancel my service with you. Thanks

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply. I’ve done all that’s recommended. Logged complaints, customer service can’t help, I’m still awaiting a supervisor to contact…

    @scottcvrroll @virginmedia It's mental like, I know there's shit going on but when everyones at home you'd think they'd try to get on top of it asap.

    Guru Boutique (@Gurudarlington) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia I’m the home owner Beryl Hankin, and was told the phone number would stay the same when I changed. I queried this with the Virgin engineer who rang Virgin and assured me it was in hand. That was weeks ago but it never happened.

    @virginmedia internet was down last night I got an email to day that it was fixed late on about half eleven yet today is up and down again. It's not good enough why is it not working, yet again? (DL1)

    Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    No company will ever be as inept as @virginmedia: - Phone lines: wait for hours, can't speak to anyone - Message service on app down for two weeks - Text service: messaged Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues; still no reply

  • CraigShitpeas
    Craig Shitpeas (@CraigShitpeas) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia been without any form of data, email , Whatsapp, calls from 11am with #virginmobile looks like it’s UK wide ! Dreadful service. Just catching up on emails now in a local pub!! Awful communication by a company that claims to be so good at it.

  • richarddbaker
    Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    .@virginmedia are amazing me at the levels of incompetence that they're able to reach. Been on hold today now for 1h 33m, 2hrs 7m (then they cut me off!) and currently 33mins! If you need any customer service from them then avoid them!!!

    Chris Noble (@funksoulHulk) reported from Darlington, England

    @Tweeter_Tori @LindaGHug @virginmedia Exactly. It's great when it works. If it doesn't work then it's no good. How fast do you need. Noone needs 100mps it's a waste

    @virginmedia STILL NO BBC1 FOR US, plus other issues. Very disappointing 24 hours.I think it may be a good time to check alternative providers…

  • MarttechSol
    Marttech Solutions (@MarttechSol) reported

    Virgin Media now have an ETA of 11:05am today to get these issues fixed. The Service Status tool now appears to be working for the vast majority of people.

    @virginmedia please don't use Yodel @yodel241653 as a courier service. Pods not delivered today. Van stopped outside, and as I opened the front door he drove off without delivering the parcel. Now got to cancel plans for tomorrow to wait for parcel. Please don't use Yodel.

  • gillian_carrick

    @virginmedia Are people still having problems this evening. My 95 year old mam still has no TV?

  • theGROWcompany
    Rachel Rosser (@theGROWcompany) reported

    @virginmedia Regardless of the actual problem, it seems the company is totally inept. Why was your incoming call message not working, why was the on hold musac playing the same one track for an hour. Why did it take so many hours for any public announcement?

  • AngeloFC04
    Angelo (@AngeloFC04) reported

    @JoshCF_ Negotiated 1 gb/s internet with virgin media down to £31 from £45 after I told them I wanted to leave

  • CS_Hants
    South Coast Commuter (@CS_Hants) reported

    @virginmedia @docrussjackson Make a formal complaint and say you will report to @Ofcom. Ask for compensation, there are plenty of precedents. They are measured on how many and how quickly they resolve customer complaints. Am dumping VM tomorrow after 18 months of abysmal service, cant wait to be rid of them!

  • Forcegayle
    G Strachan (@Forcegayle) reported

    @virginmedia What I cannot understand is you reply individually and say there's a problem but you do not put a social media post out this morning informing customers about it. Why? All your posts are in 2025

  • scousesense
    scouse sense@scousegranny (@scousesense) reported

    @virginmedia Ref: RS1001750194 or 100445413188 or 100445413196 Choose any but cancel asap and let me know when it's done

  • JPWOZNIAK
    JAN WOZNIAK (@JPWOZNIAK) reported

    @virginmedia STILL NO BBC1, why? Plus other issues eg. previous channel’s sound following any change of channel?
