    @virginmedia Thanks. Very frustrating and time consuming. Spent whole afternoon trying to sort it. Twitter not really the best way to resolve issues especially with an 82 year old.

    @virginmedia Everything struggles to stay connected to the Internet. Mobiles, laptops, the TV's. I'm not sure if the speed is an issue as I haven't checked it. (I'm not sure how to.)

    @virginmedia I have been without broadband all day, a day after you sent me a letter about price increases, an increase for what, even poorer service!!!!

    @virginmedia Can you cancel my contract?

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia No, not really as you have reliability issues in my home which I believe is part the router and part the virgin line coming into my home.

    With the intro of new dedicated Gigabit lines in my street I can't wait to switch over and leave Virgin Media for good. 3x internet has gone down this week and I just called VM. The systems there are down and gotta call back in 3hrs..... useless

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @VirginMedia Received message. Now not accepting my email address. I have one only. My problem is with the remote control which is activated by pressing 2 buttons when they light up. Have had nothing but trouble with one remote for one TV. Your communication us not helpful.

    @virginmedia I've tried the online help to no avail.Just going round in circles. How do I get to book a visit by a human being?? 😡

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia 2/2 who can I speak to as it was working fine on Friday until the issues that were nothing to do with me happened, so don’t see why I should now pay for a technician

  • Steveo67

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia The issue is I also believe it's my equipment as well. The down time I have you don't seam to log it all. I dont want a router upgrade or anything like that I just want a working router. Everytime I call there is a fault in the area.

  • Radebreast
    Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia what have you done to the Sky TV app - its constantly buffering and showing error messages. Just awful service. Please can you get this sorted ASAP please.

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia No, they just left. Rang your customer service they are now telling me the problem is internal. I’ve had no internet since July, no tv since August. It’s beyond a joke now. 5 visits I’ve had.

  • ylilxanoi
    🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia my interest been down for a whole week. Call centre staff don't know what to say. An engineer has been on site every single day apparently. Can someone fix my internet. I pay £52 a month this is beyond a joke. I've used all my 4g& bought a ****** dongle just to WFH

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Yes I did! Look at the last screen shot, that page was down as well with an error message. Useless copy and paste replys. Not helpful atall

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @Huawei21327032 @virginmedia They tried to charge 30quid a month for piss which isn't the issue it's a mix of virgin media kit and also the line. Spent 2 gars studying CISCO networking CCNA and they think I don't know what I'm talking about

  • elisabethhilto4
    Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England

    @virginmedia Been signed up to a contract I specifically asked not to be. Unable to get through on the phone and your online complaint submission form does not work. Can someone please contact me urgently

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia I'm guessing they don't work Saturday Sunday, so that will take us from Thursday to some point Monday for a resolution? Would it be quick if I phone up, send me a case ref number or something?

  • AnianaAbrudan
    @AniAna98722504 (@AnianaAbrudan) reported from Urmston, England

    @Ofcom Still can’t get in contact with customer service today either via webchat and phone calls @virginmedia

  • keithapearson
    Keith A Pearson (@keithapearson) reported

    @MrGee27 @virginmedia I disagree. Having suffered their appalling service too many times over the last six months, I think the senior management should be marched naked through the streets of Basingstoke and pelted with rotten fruit. Every weekend for a year.

  • Nameie82
    Vanessa (@Nameie82) reported

    @virginmedia Terrible customer service, i sent a message via chat confirming my new contract at 19.06 just to get completely ignored for 40 SOLID MINUTES!!!!

  • fayfreddie10
    faye (@fayfreddie10) reported

    @virginmedia @BonesE78 Im also pleased that VM will be held to account finally our BB is terrible were about to report to the ombudsman as VM wont realease us from the contract without a Early disconnection fee yet even they say how bad it is .. go figure.

    @virginmedia You are going down hill rapidly. Top management need replacing with someone who can sort your company out. I have put off spending an hour plus on the phone to sort out TV pixelation. Also fed up with being fobbed off with secondhand kit. I am out ASAP

  • kestrel89B
    Liam (@kestrel89B) reported

    @BBCNews @virginmedia make it so difficult to actually speak with a human. They love a #bot chat. Always upping the #contract and never actually have a valid reason. #virginmedia

  • Mr_ITellYah
    JFT97 (@Mr_ITellYah) reported

    Fk me this #virgin360 box is horrendous. Why the fk did @virginmedia change from the Tivo box that was perfect. I hatr this 360 box, it’s sooooo ****!!!!! 🤬

    @virginmedia once again issues with your tv channels and broadband dropping this is getting beyond now when your paying £102 month for unreliable services will be looking elsewhere
