    @virginmedia bit of a pain that if you want to cancel a new connection on a weekend then the first line cancellation don't seem to know you can't do this...

  • Mrspdyer
    Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia No, I’m trying to find out the status of my complaint received by Virgin on 30 September. I’ve had zero communication or acknowledgment of it.

  • seanhannam
    seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    Didn’t realised upgrading our @virginmedia internet would cripple my home office. Wireless @HP printer can’t find the network and I have to get new boosters for the other rooms in the house. So frustrating - I’ve wasted so much time trying to sort it all out. To no avail.

    @virginmedia We had issues last month, a nice engineer came (Mohamed) and said it was a local problem. I reported it on the phone again on Tuesday (Aqeelah), she said there are local problems (again). I fed up wit this, it’s been a week of impossible internet, day and night!

    @virginmedia any chance of a stable service?!?

  • bendog90
    Ben Shaw (@bendog90) reported from Shenley, England

    @virginmedia your business is great when things are working, however I have had terrible service for the last 24 hours- no broadband and differing explanations as to the reason- no follow up and still no connection.. very frustrated this morning as I can’t attend online meetings

  • TimmyLDN
    🦒🤓TimmyLDN🙄🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🦒 (@TimmyLDN) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Yes at £37 when as a new customer I could get it for £25. I am happy to stick at the £32 but you are not willing to match.

  • dip2ooo

    @Gusubeda @virginmedia My broadband is also down HA7 0800 status number keep telling me there's no problem in the area

  • seanhannam
    seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia Is this how you treat your ‘priority customers?’ During a cost of living crisis, we have chosen to stay with you, yet you can’t pull your finger out to look after your customers. I work from home but can’t fully use the service I’m paying for due to your incompetence.

  • rh_theproject

    @virginmedia Not ******* good enough ,you charge me the earth promising the best Gig 1 and I have had problems ever since taking that upgrade ,

  • StephenCavinder
    Steve Cavinder (@StephenCavinder) reported from Bricket Wood, England

    @virginmedia do you think it’s acceptable for a customer to be waiting for more than 20 minutes (and still waiting) for one of your agents to answer the phone? #justasking

  • seanhannam
    seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @MikeCoxCowes @virginmedia @HP What hope is there for the smart home when even a wireless printer needs reconfiguring after a simple wi-fi network change?

  • mmpa4
    Mansukh (@mmpa4) reported from Watford, England

    @virginmedia Been a long term customer of Virginmedia and recently renewed contract along with O2 mobile but customer services has gone downhill. Having issues with Wi-Fi,phoned again today and was told technical support will call me by 1:30pm, but no one has bothered.

  • PaulswainDJ
    Paul Swain (@PaulswainDJ) reported from Kings Langley, England

    @virginmedia I’ve given up for tonight. I’m struggling to deal with a company that has lied on record and taken money wrongfully out of my account. @MartinSLewis help!

  • seanhannam
    seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia Why should we call up again for the ninth time? We’re a ‘priority customer.’ You should be calling us and making amends.I’m a consumer tech journalist with 25 years’ experience. Your customer service is the worst I’ve ever encountered. You simply don’t care about your customers.

    @virginmedialife @virginmedia The worst service from any company I have ever used. I would like to be removed from your business accounts.

    @virginmedia this is the third time this has happened in the last couple of weeks. And 2 days in a row. When is estimated restoration time ? When you check service checker in line it says no issues but I called and it was confirmed

    Lewis Byers (@lewisbyers92) reported

    @O2 keep having sign in attempt emails from virgin media o2. I’ve reported and was allegedly getting a call back from you (never happened) and if I try to sign in to my o2 account, it always asks me for a pin and as if it’s the first time logging in every time. Sort it out ffs

  • christobinsings
    Cristoir Toibin (@christobinsings) reported

    @virginmedia happily giving new customers FREE #Netflix but happy to lose a customer of 26 years to #Sky because they won't give it to a long-standing customer who has given them thousands of pounds over 26 years. Make it make sense.

  • sephiroth17181
    Seph (@sephiroth17181) reported

    @RevQntmBigfoot @virginmedia with how bad things have gotten ive decided to get rid of virgin and go with EE 1.6gb connection for £35 a month, install is on tuesday. just sick to death of not having a solid connection and people pretending everything is fine when they just read from scripts

  • GeekyHairy
    GeekyHairyBestia (@GeekyHairy) reported

    @virginmedia is your new ploy to get people to use your mobile device then provide the worse broadband on the market that don’t even fully work 50% of the time so customers have to give you more money for mobile data. This handset never leaves the house and every month same issue

  • NickosTheGr33k

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia I was with virgin media for nearly 10 years, zero issues! Always got the speeds advertised, tv was also decent.

  • AndyBtheatre
    AndyB (@AndyBtheatre) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Not disputing experiences with @virginmedia but we've been lucky; broadband was poor - upgrade FOC, don't use landline since it went VoIP - charge removed, cancelled TiVO - accepted my reasons, canx TV, upgrade BB, sent box to return set top - all went through no problems
