    @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.

    @virginmedia any chance of a stable service?!?

  • gashead
    Alistair 🏴‍☠️ Burns (@gashead) reported from Hatfield, England

    Used to tell my colleagues on @virginmedia to switch to @BT to overcome reliability issues. Moved house and little choice to pick Virgin. No internet or TV for 7 days, fix due by 1pm today. Queried at 1.30pm and 6.30pm, assured it would be today, told to relax. Frankie says BS.

    @virginmedia Good morning, This is the 3rd day with no broadband. You have conflicting messages as to whether there is an issue or not, and whether it has been fixed or not. I have been unable to speak to anyone or log a call out. Can someone please help

    @virginmedia Why are my sky sports channels not working but others are , getting error CS2004 . I’ve reset the box numerous times and checked the cables .. on my other box in another room all channels working fine ??

    @virginmedia Wi-Fi still down.

    Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Last time, our wifi was down for over a week. I spoke to an agent on the phone who was utterly useless. You never offer any solutions. I’m starting to think that the only way for you to take any action is if I cancel my DD.

    @richardbranson virgin media U.K. business service is appalling , customer service and tech support are lying, promising callbacks just to get you off the line, 3 weeks no service my business is chaos, my SLA is 12 hours yet no one to talk to fault: F010324227 No one is helping

    @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?

  • morish1
    maureen robert (@morish1) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia This is false advertising. My broadband goes off more than it’s on and then it is so slow. I have lost count on the times I have called the help line. I have rebooted routinely, it works for a while then off again. I have had enough now as enough is enough!!!

  • silvergoatish
    The waving mechanical roadgoat™ (@silvergoatish) reported from Camden, England

    @virginmedia Duly noted. I'm not likely to be a customer for much longer though, with your general level of service and pricing.

  • browngaybitch
    BuG$y (@browngaybitch) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    Absolutely rubbish customer service from @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV @VirginMediaCorp waiting for over 2 hours, first call the advisor hung up after I asked to speak to his manager and the second advisor CANNOT give me a reference to the call or let me speak to a manager

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

    @virginmedia An ongoing account issue. All I’m trying to do is sort it out. Your staff accepted my call today and then hung up after 17 minutes of hold time.

  • spandya1
    Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia If you remember I told you that it was likely that work occurring at the cabinet in our street caused our issue. The engineer visited and fixed the issue caused by that work. So, it was an engineer/maintenance caused issue.

  • brobbo55
    robbo (@brobbo55) reported from St Albans, England

    @virginmedia sort out the wifi in AL4. Been down two days now joke of a provider

  • gemmak500
    ᒍᗩᑎE (@gemmak500) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia I don’t doubt it will be fixed eventually but there have been significant issues here for months & I need more info than this. The message on your link hasn’t been updated since PRIOR to being told it was fixed. When reported this morning it was treated with no history.

  • MarkGRyan
    Mark Ryan (@MarkGRyan) reported from Ealing, England

    Once again @virginmedia let us down with internet in W13 area ... not a good service at all

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

    @virginmedia Of course I have. My email is correct on online account. I get email bills correctly. But my complaint file has an extra character to email address and so I’ve never received acknowledgment of my complaint.

  • 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.

  • gemmak500
    ᒍᗩᑎE (@gemmak500) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia There is no link. No one appears to know what’s going on and there is no ownership or continuity of help. As the paying customer we are supposed to just wait, lose business and accept the situation.

  • IamCarrieagain
    Carrie (@IamCarrieagain) reported

    @virginmedia You turned off my router remotely and you can turn it back on until I am well enough to deal with trying to set up the new one. Thought of indirect discrimination under EA 2010? How about the fact your were not up front about your service changes/consequences too?

    @MRWayneLaws @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp the misery i’ve had the last year , damaged my rating [their fault], arrogant customer service , i paid 9 months to get out early , still getting hassle . i feel your pain , just bullies

    @virginmedia why do none of my apps work after the upgrade to TV360 ... thought I was going to get a better service?

  • ShirleySarah70
    ShirleySarah🌹🎸🦊🦔🐦⚽ (@ShirleySarah70) reported

    @JaneVCarroll @virginmedia Theyve been downright rude to me on the phone today. As soon as I can cancel my services with them the better. A customer of over 20 years and because I'm a mature 72 year old woman they speak to me as if I'm stupid. Cancelling next week.

  • Joshhhhh____
    Josh (@Joshhhhh____) reported

    Thanks at @virginmedia for going down 3 times in one month new record!!! Well done! and refusing compensation. Disgusting!

  • ProudWhiteMe
    ProudWhiteMe (@ProudWhiteMe) reported

    @Benleo Virgin Media has the worst customer service that i have ever experienced. It is almost impossible to speak to someone who speaks English well enough to understand what is going on. Its chat bots are a waste of space. Yet they continue to put their costs up every year without fail

  • IamCarrieagain
    Carrie (@IamCarrieagain) reported

    @virginmedia My issue is you turned off my working router. I'm disabled and you turned off my service.

  • IamCarrieagain
    Carrie (@IamCarrieagain) reported

    So, it appears that @virginmedia has cut off my Internet as threatened. My crime? I haven't had the time or energy to set up a new router they delivered last Friday. One they insisted on even though the current one works. I'm paying for a service they've decided to end
