  • Jacq_Critch Jacqueline Critchley (@Jacq_Critch) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @Steven_Smith89 I’ve tried reaching out via the telephone number provided on your website, however despite numerous attempts I have failed to speak to anyone & a fault at your end meant that the line went dead yesterday as I got through... why do you make this so difficult? PLEASE HELP 🙏

  • iYogaBody Tatiana M Newton (@iYogaBody) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia it’s simply Disgraceful! As @gmail email user I CAN NOT logging into my own account to check my bill- is it even legal?? After 1 hour of ohone convo with @virginmedia agent my problem is not solved and I’m back in the loop 🔁

  • 1slandmonkey Benjamin Spurling (@1slandmonkey) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia not impressed with your customer service this week. After days of attempted communication I finally spoke to someone about getting a new phone. They spoke terrible English, were unhelpful and have actually lost you my potential 24month contract.

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia It has been over a week trying to contact you and it’s impossible. The contract needs to end on 04/03/21. Your service makes things 10x harder than any other provider.

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Your team still do not answer the phone. Constantly on hold and then they hung up on my partner yesterday when she got through. The box will be left outside the address for you to collect because we have been trying to cancel for a week now and it is a joke. #poorcustomerservice

  • AnnaForester87 Anna Forester (@AnnaForester87) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia network problem half way through Grease, haway man! 3rd day in a row aswell

  • Andygclark Andy Clark (@Andygclark) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia would like to thank you for your customer service. Over 15 years of money from me. 50% price rise. I would like to leave please. No problem. All booked for you. Good bye. Wish I could afford to treat my customers like that.

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia There are no issues in the region apart from your appalling service.

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Very excellent service from Linzi in the Longbenton call centre today, got my upgrade sorted and we had a good little chat as well whilst she was sorting things. Made me feel a lot better for spending the time I did on hold. @virginmedia

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia your WiFi and service is a disgrace. Constant outage, hopeless WiFi range, unreachable "support". And now you're putting my bill up? Utter joke.

  • DavidField1987 David Field CBCI (@DavidField1987) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I have had a house love booked for two weeks (planned for tomorrow) yet once again you have disconnected my services early at my current address. I’m working from home and your error has once again impacted me and I’m going to spend my morning again trying to fix!

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @panzerfaust81 Any chance we can cancel as your customer service team hang up after waiting an hour on hold? Sick of your dreadful service. Please contact me as this is a joke. Need to leave due to moving home and you make it even harder @Ofcom

  • chrissielouenid Chrissie (@chrissielouenid) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia poor service strikes again !

  • beyond_vinyl BEYOND VINYL (@beyond_vinyl) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @vmbusiness @virginmedia my phone and broadband is down (#NewcastleUponTyne city centre) we are in a pandemic and I have nothing else to do so need internet!! Any idea when service will be restored??

  • LeslieBrown953 Leslie Brown (@LeslieBrown953) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Wish virginmedia could do something about all the scam calls, I am an virginmedia customer and we are receiving. Had about 30 scam calls just this last week.

  • paulm844 Paul Marshall (@paulm844) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    WHEN MY @virginmedia CONTRACT IS UP IM OFF TO SKY. Enough of this ****.

  • ITINTERACT2 Rob Turnbull (@ITINTERACT2) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia @ChesnoidGaming Virgin , impossible to call with issues but instant reply on Twitter

  • HebburnCurly Mark Wilson (@HebburnCurly) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Hi, can I add a telephone line to the broadband package that I already have? Looked on your webpage and it’s all bundles with no option to add anything to the service I already purchase

  • nufcscott1968 graham scott (@nufcscott1968) reported from Dunston, England

    @virginmedia is there an outage on the network? Can't make calls and no data connection?

  • DavidField1987 David Field CBCI (@DavidField1987) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I have had a house move booked for 2 weeks (planned for tomorrow) yet once again you have disconnected my services early at my current address. I’m working from home and your error has once again impacted me and now going to spend my morning again trying to fix!

    @virginmedia @BexShelbs More to do with you slapping on an extra £5 & customer service is just crap

  • eatplaylaw Adam (@eatplaylaw) reported

    Hi @virginmedia are there broadband issues in SE23? The app says my hub isn’t connected properly but I have run through all steps and checks about 5 times, and the hub is barely a month old!

  • misra98 Sunil Misra (@misra98) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve lost track to be honest. I was told the cable needed replacing to my property. First it was 25/05/22, then 08/06/22, then 16/06/22, then 08/07/22, then 21/07/22, then 12/08/22. And then I was told upgrading to 500mb would cure all of my connectivity issues but no change

  • jrfrank Jane Franklin (@jrfrank) reported

    @virginmedia I have become accustomed to the fact that Virgin deny any faults until they may or may not decide to fix them - we have had months of intermittent or no service with frequent outages

  • Will_I_Sam_89 Sam Williams (@Will_I_Sam_89) reported

    @virginmedia Can I DM you for a manager to call me? This is completely outrageous your customer service from every employee is flabbergasting

  • Jamie23883683 Jamie (@Jamie23883683) reported

    @virginmedia Approximately July 2020, it’s ok I wasn’t expecting anything from you as I know as a company you have a way out. As a customer we’ll not use Virgin Media and from what I hear from others I know, they feel the same. Shame really.

  • marketappeal marketappeal (@marketappeal) reported

    @virginmedia I had no internet for 4 days in July, I filled in your reporting form repeatedly. Your website says I'd be compensated £8.40/day, but I haven't receiveda refund. How is it fair to be charged for a service that wasn't delivered? - Anthony Sharot

  • jrfrank Jane Franklin (@jrfrank) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I did that already - several times actually - the issue is that the connect app does not work or allow configuration of the pods at all

  • sazmeister88 Sarah 🇮🇹🌹#WearAMaskYouStupidBastards (@sazmeister88) reported

    @virginmedia i can't speak on the phone, and i don't have whatsapp, that's why nobody can fix this for me lol this is the only way i can get in contact with virgin :p

  • colemanp2000 Philip Coleman (@colemanp2000) reported

    @virginmedia Even the cancellation call was an absolute nightmare. Anyone thinking of moving to Virgin Media should know, the customer experience is a kafkaesque nightmare and everything failed. No reduction in product cost will pay for the lost time and aggravation
