  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    Whatever you do think twice before joining @virginmedia it might look fast on paper but the 100mbs service is running slow in Kirkby when it runs at all. Customer service just blames Covid @VodafoneUK gave me prices really quickly by a lovely lady working from home

    £1260 per year for a 3rd rate service #VirginMedia

  • KathyyyLouiseee Kathy Louise (@KathyyyLouiseee) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to someone urgently about Virgin showing a missed payment on my credit history back in August 2018, when I cancelled my internet back in June 2018 (which was made incredibly difficult by poor customer service at the time)

  • MrGraemeSmith GRAEME SMITH (@MrGraemeSmith) reported from Liverpool, England

    Having Virgin Media broadband and mobile is all well and good. Until both go down during lockdown. And your head falls off.

  • aboardy Alison Boardman (@aboardy) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia reported slow speeds on Sunday. Promised a call back between 2 and 4 hours. Not received. Not getting the minimum guaranteed broadband speed yet paying in full. Proving difficult to speak to anybody. You appear not to care. #poorcustomerservice

  • trev0rj0nes trevor jones (@trev0rj0nes) reported from Southport, England

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia Please give me the contact address I guess I will compile the complaint in full and send it to whom ever overseas Virgin’s false advertising, breach of contract and not fit for purpose service I cannot see that Virgin give a toss about their customers or trying to sort internet

  • steven_horrobin steven horrobin (@steven_horrobin) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia @andrewpoile are you going to give people money back cos you can’t provide a service our money off there bills cos i am paying money for a service and it’s not working and people wants to know what you are going to do about it

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia all about the money not about the service. In Kirkby Merseyside we have had a lot of outages since March and you are ignoring my requests for help by email, chat, FB, Twitter and don’t answer the phones. @VodafoneUK uk answered my web chat straight away

  • Dazzb84 Darren Bown (@Dazzb84) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @7c25d632f10d435 I've got the same problem today @virginmedia

  • Honest989 John Halstead (@Honest989) reported

    @virginmedia hi I'm trying to get through to your team but I'm getting disconnected. As of next month you want to charge £54 for the service I receive. The same package seems to be available for £38 a month. So am I being punished for being a loyal customer?

  • Actuarial_Tutor John Lee (@Actuarial_Tutor) reported

    @virginmedia I'm afraid the phonecall with the team was very poor yesterday: saying there was no engineer appointment, then saying there was & they'd been (when they hadn't) & then that the problem was resolved (when we're still connected via our neighbours cable stretched over their lawn).

  • malctalk mal (@malctalk) reported

    @virginmedia got through to customer service Wednesday 360 box not working.....shielding......clinically extremely vulnerable...told them.....said I would have call back in 24 hrs nothing......now engineer calling sat HE CANT COME IN

    Virgin media is awful

  • JenniPinnock Jenni Pinnock (@JenniPinnock) reported

    @virginmedia The lithium portal isn't allowing me to respond? Unfortunately we've tried the phone already. We've had the issue since early December (and Virgin were aware); on the phone today we were told our local cabinet issue had been ongoing for over 7 days with no resolution date given.

  • JuicyGJF Gregory James French (@JuicyGJF) reported

    @virginmedia @richardbranson **** you and #VirginMedia Been on hold for an hour & half, woman answers my call, takes my account number then ends the call on me... I’m trying to end my contract with you bums, price increases again & again. Nearly £50 a month just for internet 🖕🏼
