    @virginmedia I am appalled at the customer service. Trying obtain my last bill from 3 months ago. Can’t be done!!account closed. They never sent packaging to send router back after 3 phone calls I gave up but got charged for it.

  • baabaa89 Victoria. 🐝 (@baabaa89) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia appalled at the service I’m currently receiving from your customer service rep on the phone. If she calls me “m’am” one more time, I might cry. Her attitude stinks.

  • AngeTurner816 Ange Turner 🔶 (@AngeTurner816) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria Every single evening your WiFi goes down for about two hours around teatime. Last night it went off at 6.00 pm and came back on at about 11.00 pm!

  • crhudson10 Carolyn Hudson (@crhudson10) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia Non-existent customer service; line cuts off every time we call, emailed 9 days ago & still no response & bill has increased to £167 pm for fewer services! Wouldn’t mind but I only watch Netflix! 😱

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia @LadyHorkins Standard response from a truly shit company who tell lies and say an 82 yr old’s husband ordered sky films after he’d been dead for 9 months then deny any wrong doing in their internal enquiry. Then provide what I can only describe as a piss poor service ... don’t buy virgin

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

    @virginmedia I’ve just asked for all calls relating to my complaint over the past two years. You said no. So now I do a complaint against you with ico. I believe you will get a fine. Sorry.

  • BeStrongBolton Be Strong Daz (@BeStrongBolton) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia an absolute shambles broadband service for the last 3 weeks and not scheduled to be fixed until 9th Sept 2019.

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia This is the 6th “complex” issue that’s happened during weekends this year! and countless other days ..... and that’s why I called yesterday to cancel, your service is obviously not fit for purpose and you have the cheek to put the price up too

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Oh don’t tell me to switch it off and on again.... there is no service wether it’s on the checker or not.. can’t be arsed searching for something I already know ... no virgin, I’m oot

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had no service all day as have other people in the street.... not the first time I’ve had to sit on the weekend and miss my team live on tv for which I pay a good deal of money for, I don’t need to check a checker to tell me your service isn’t working

  • davetarl Dave Tarleton (@davetarl) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Hi RCG, I say hours, was just short of an hour! All sorted now. My gripe is there should be a cancel/leave option on the website saves ringing up and waiting when you are leaving no matter what.

  • markfrobi Mark Robinson (@markfrobi) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is abysmal. I am fed up of chatting to a robot or someone in india repeatedly asking me the same questions and getting absolutely nowhere. 3 engineer visits, many phonecalls, online chats (some not even answered) and still got nowhere.

  • _DebDeb_ Deb Deb (@_DebDeb_) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia hi I recently signed up but want to cancel

  • MrCRichardson Craig Richardson (@MrCRichardson) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia help help what do you need to do to get help from virgin media..😡😡😡😡

  • AngeTurner816 Ange Turner 🔶 (@AngeTurner816) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia Sorry. I am asking you to tell me what the problem is and what you planing to do about it!

  • cudda69 Denis Cudahy (@cudda69) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia absolute joke cancelled my contract beginning August because of issues ever since its been installed, looked at at my bill I'm still being charged, all equipment in a box so it's not used you have signed me up again for 12 month WTF #jokers

  • CRMann78 NYPD Blue (@CRMann78) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Been with Virgin for 5 days of dreadful customer service, how can a mobile set up result in loss of all subscribed tv channels, held in queue for over an hour is the norm, will be cancelling my contract due to this total mismanagement #VirginMediaSucks

  • _DebDeb_ Deb Deb (@_DebDeb_) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia wow called up to cancel and the guy says I’ve successfully cancelled and then hangs up!!! Thank god I’ve decided not to go with you!

  • phanleyphotos Paul Hanley Photos (@phanleyphotos) reported from Prescot, England

    Moved from @virginmedia to @SkyUK but phone number hasn’t moved. @virginmedia say it’s possible to still port it and the response from @SkyUK - we don’t know how to do that, hang up and try to speak to someone else after 3 hours on the phone 🤬🤬🤬

  • TheHuntsmanhemo Cleveland Huntsman (@TheHuntsmanhemo) reported

    @virginmedia I've spent nearly 4 hours on the phone to different people in call centres worldwide with no luck. Funnily though when I get through to someone to say I'm leaving I get through to someone up the road who tells me the problem is my hub has packed in and someone wil come out !

  • badgallexy Alex 🤦🏼‍♀️ (@badgallexy) reported

    Still not as bad a @vmbusiness who last time we moved said they didn’t service the area of our new flat (in east London) and we had to pay over £200 to get out of the contract. Why is every utilities company on this horrid little island a racket? 😭

  • nkrs87 nkrs87 (@nkrs87) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, and as did some bits at their end, and internet came back on. Cut off again not long after. A lack of internet doesn’t help when I work from home 😡

  • ryanbate Ryan (@ryanbate) reported

    @virginmedia Well it’s disappeared. Is it closed? It included written notice to terminate account which has been ignored

  • A_tecPH A-Tec (@A_tecPH) reported

    @virginmedia Your team is refusing to send a dongal without payment. It is the least u can do. Due for external work on 24th then 25th July and nothing. I got a complaint email to say all resolved. U need to check notes. I have no choice but to report you to the regulatory body.
