    @virginmedia COM103473607 but as I said I have a deadlock letter.... I have no confidence due to the fact your company seems to neglect the real issue here! Telling my 82 yr old mother her dead husband ordered Sky Movies from the grave! A service neither of them are/were interested in

    @virginmedia I haven’t been able to find a replacement service yet so I need an extension on my end date with you. I’ve been trying to start a chat for 4 hours now.

  • Childwallcable Tony Zeverona (@Childwallcable) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia you have the worst customer services I have ever experienced from being cut off during calls to failure to call back

  • zaracharles Zara (@zaracharles) reported from Liverpool, England

    TWO hrs spent on to @virginmedia trying 2 fix my continuous starting up screen. Was promised a call back the following evening, which never happened !!! Feel I have been more than patient, to be majorly let down #whatamipayingfor 😡

  • amy___harvey amy harvey (@amy___harvey) reported from Maghull, England

    @virginmedia Just rang again. On hold for 20 mins (again) to get hung up on after giving my name. How do I cancel if I am already out of contact. Unless somebody can ring me instead as I refuse to sit through that hold music a third time

  • Alison_hh Alison Hesketh-Holt (@Alison_hh) reported from Leyland, England

    Absoloutley disgusted with @virginmedia been on hold for 2 hours - I'm an existing customer and one agent has hung on me!!! I want to discuss my existing contract with them. How the hell are you supposed to speak to the complaints department or a manager in charge!

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia Trip haziest outside my house cables running to next door which were supposed to be temporary, unstable service, rattling router, some of these issues have been resolved. Others haven’t. I’ve asked for final response but no one will talk to me about this.

  • SarahIsFab Sister Sarah💫 (@SarahIsFab) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi is down EVERYDAY and it’s only on for a tiny amount of time😭. It keeps going from green flashing to turning itself off and then just sitting there with a green icon on It and then the phone icon appears then the WiFi and goes round x1000

  • springviewer John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia strange I read all the posts about Virgin customers ringing up about cancelling services and Virgin offering them a better deal however I ring up and cancel a service with no trouble at all, not even offering a lower price, your loss #virginmedia

  • allensmith566 Allen Smith (@allensmith566) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Engineer came and replaced my box. Excellent service and I am a happy customer 👍

  • mymatedex @gm (@mymatedex) reported from Aintree Village, England

    @virginmedia There’s no service issue, the engineer had punctured the cabling with a cable tack. It stops the fibre optic cable from working. I removed it but not before having to sit on the phone for 30 minutes after me complaining the other day about your inept installation team

  • fantom_dave DF (@fantom_dave) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia The broadband has been off two or three times today again and is off at the moment. I’m sick of this now as both myself and the wife work from home. I’m currently looking at cancelling and alternate providers. The service was fine until Wednesday last week when you did an update

  • joey_pajamas_ Joey Pajamas 🇦🇺🇬🇧⛥ (@joey_pajamas_) reported

    @virginmedia just some acknowledgement that there's an issue and you're looking into it would be nice

  • _7cups 7 (@_7cups) reported

    @karine71 I have to give up my Virgin Media services tomorrow. Moving house to a non-virgin area. Going from 100mbps(110) down to 8mbps with Sky. How will I cope!!?

  • bratby81 BratbyBlues81 (@bratby81) reported

    @virginmedia The service after the automated woman spoke to me

  • its_me_lucyp LucyP (@its_me_lucyp) reported

    On hold to @virginmedia for an hour because despite their cheery automated messages saying you can do whatever you need online you absolutely can not if that involves cancelling a service

  • laurenmaxwell1 Lol Max 🌻 (@laurenmaxwell1) reported

    @virginmedia is the most appalling service I have EVER received. A 2 month delay to install WiFi and absolutely no communication. Shambles.

  • peters63 Stuart Peters (@peters63) reported

    @virginmedia Having Virgin broadband installed today. Engineer just informed me that he can install cables but has no equipment. My existing broadband ceases today as Virgin have taken over line and current provider cannot extend. Can I have some help please Virgin?

  • deejaybuck David Joss Buckley (@deejaybuck) reported

    @SaraBarman @virginmedia I'm amazed anyone ever signs up with this appalling company. And I speak as a current and extremely dissatisfied customer.

  • ReeceyByrne Reece Byrne (@ReeceyByrne) reported

    @virginmedia I am trying to speak to someone regarding a router issue. Can someone not hang up on me! I have called twice collectively for hour and half! This is shocking customer service.

  • OfficialSwags Steven “Swags” Madan (@OfficialSwags) reported
