  • starbuck2003 Julian Joyce (@starbuck2003) reported from Elmstead Market, England

    @virginmedia Hi i moved house on the 13th Dec and i contacted virginmedia that i would like to close my account. I have yet to have a final bill from yourselves and i had to cancel the direct debit as this would have gone out tomorrow for the full amount!

  • Da_Hayts Mark Hayton (@Da_Hayts) reported from Colchester, England

    Terrible service keeping me waiting for an hour by @virginmedia

  • Greenking66 Chris Green (@Greenking66) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi would it be possible for someone from your customer care based in the uk to phone me please.

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia trying to find your TV only plans on your website is a nightmare. Can’t do anything on your slow clunky mobile website.

  • MichaelGagaHale Michael Gaga-Hale (@MichaelGagaHale) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Now its 1600 tomorrow. Pathetic really, no explication for the fault or reason for delaying fix time.

  • jj_phoenix66 JJ_phoenix (@jj_phoenix66) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia We turned everything off overnight & service had resumed this morning.checked yr svs system last night & there were reported failures in colchester & around the UK.Having been a prior customer o f20 years, whenever it rains then sunny, you always have issues!

  • Greenking66 Chris Green (@Greenking66) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I done the scan and the signal upstairs is weak and very very slow😕

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia The worst bit you get one letter on 6th Nov saying your case is being investigated & apologising for taking 8 weeks to sort, two days later the case is closed as I didn’t reply to a letter 4 weeks earlier I never received!!!!

  • jimaxyn Jimmy Regan (@jimaxyn) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to the team, they will arrange a repayment, my issue is that when you want the money, even if it's on the wrong day, you get it instantly, when I demand a refund it's 4-5 business days and that means I incur charges due to your mistake

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia I have had enough of your poor service 😡 talking to people who lie, can’t answer my questions so then hang up!! I have 3 mobile contacts with you my 2 daughters & my own, it’s a shocking service. All I want is the deal I signed up to 😤

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia Had enough - paying for a service - not getting what I pay for & just getting know where fast!!!!

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • tracy_m21 Tracy Mullen (@tracy_m21) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin media lost a customer because they didn’t bother getting back to me & I couldn’t get through on the phone either.

  • Ed_Swift Edward swift (@Ed_Swift) reported

    @virginmedia No, as anytime I raise a complaint, your company ignore it until I chase and chase. Your 28 days came and went so maybe I should just cancel my direct debit as it’s an I correct billing complaint?

  • arbvor J BavSlim (@arbvor) reported

    I’ve never in my life complained to customer service cause I’ve worked in customer service roles myself, so I understand the frustration, but Virgin Media really ruins it for you and gets you mad

  • AnnaAnd91930977 Anna Andrews (@AnnaAnd91930977) reported

    @rebekahford @virginmedia We've got the same problem and updates like this are completely meaningless. Sort it out. I've been told my office isn't going back until 2022 so we now have no reason not to cancel. Outage after outage.

  • thesiew1 thesiew (@thesiew1) reported

    @virginmedia was thinking of leaving, spoke to retentions team, agreed to stay for 18 months. The idiot on the retentions team disconnected my broadband by mistake. No service for hours now. Virgin can’t reconnect me! Virgin systems need looking at 😡😡

  • laaaaul Lauren (@laaaaul) reported

    @virginmedia Which option do you recommend I speak to? Because no one would help me when I have called?

  • laaaaul Lauren (@laaaaul) reported

    @virginmedia Yes... I alreay know that. But don't you see the issue that you sold me something that I can't use? Why sell it to me if you can't do it?

  • yoseboy Call me by my name (@yoseboy) reported

    @virginmedia still no internet in SW9! You’re over promising and your customer service is appalling. No internet since yesterday afternoon!

  • jibhibcrm James (@jibhibcrm) reported

    @virginmedia So I’m just left here hoping and praying you’ll find the source? What steps have already been taken to identify the issue? I’ve not seen anyone attend any addresses nor the cabinet on my street. Have you tried working with customers to find the source of the issue? 1/2

  • RorySkinner11 Rory Skinner (@RorySkinner11) reported

    @virginmedia whats a complaint going to do? wheres your redundancy measure to ensure we stay connected? why dont you have back up to another provider you can route us to. so we the customers don't suffer? think how many dont have £100 a day to pay for their hotspot?
