  • Loafite Tony Phillips (@Loafite) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Thanks @virginmedia perhaps you should be making the effort to get me to stay as a customer. Hopefully @SkyHelpTeam will be able to offer me something more cost effective

  • Loafite Tony Phillips (@Loafite) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @SkyHelpTeam hope all is well, @virginmedia have just increased my bill again for broadband (£32 increase per month in the last 10 months, disgraceful) are there any deals for a Sky customer for broadband?

  • tRed20 Tony Redmond (@tRed20) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Suddenly came back online yesterday afternoon ...so suggests there was an issue elsewhere. Thanks for your replies

  • tRed20 Tony Redmond (@tRed20) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia have a registration failure on my hub meaning no WiFi, broadband or TV available. Apparently no issues in my postcode??? Reset done same outcome 😔

  • thebiggayreview The Big Gay Review (@thebiggayreview) reported from Basingstoke, England

    WiFi went down in the middle of watching Halloween Ends. 4G signal also unresponsive. Stuck on very slow 4G. Virgin Media say it’s possibly a hardware fault and want to send someone Monday. No. I’m not waiting 72 hours with no internet. I’ll implode.

  • TropicKarenB Total Tropic Karen 🌴 (@TropicKarenB) reported from Newbury, England

    @virginmedia No broadband service in RG14 and your service status checker isn't working. Is there a know issue? #virginmedia

  • littlekatyb Katy Blay (@littlekatyb) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Hi! Our landline is being switched over to fibre on the 4th October, however our landline and WiFi hub are not on the same floor so we cannot connect them. Help please!

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Woolhampton, England

    @virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

  • CathyTVNews Cathy Alexander (@CathyTVNews) reported from Thatcham, England

    What's the problem @virginmedia ? No broadband all day in RG18. Work day wasted. Your signal check says "problems" but no updates. Can't get thro to customer service.

  • KieranDavey1 Kieran Davey (@KieranDavey1) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Hi - I'm in Rg22 and Internet has been down since about 11am - do you have an eta for when this will be fixed? Thanks

  • pilot_paul Pilot_Paul (@pilot_paul) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia @joelycollinsx Hilarious. You get a link after ringing the number but the website is down

  • pilot_paul Pilot_Paul (@pilot_paul) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @ianmills99 @virginmedia No internet in RG21 either. Cannot even get on to the service page on my mobile

  • AfroChuck87 ¥ (@AfroChuck87) reported from Basingstoke, England

    Just spent 40 minutes being messed around with from @virginmedia to be then hung up on. Your customer service is atrocious!!!

  • TheTomothy Tom Hogan (@TheTomothy) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia better have a good explanation for this but likely this will never be answered and all my years of bills and loyalty mean absolutely sod all. @bt_uk and @SkyHelpTeam Any good deals on broadband? And can you promise you wont vandalise my home & connection randomly?

  • SimonMiller52 Simon Miller (@SimonMiller52) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia Hi yes I’ve done this numerous times and spoken to many people on chat and always been told I will get a call to discuss and I never hear back. I just want someone to look into why we cannot get it but it’s available on our road. Thanks

  • pilot_paul Pilot_Paul 🇪🇸 (@pilot_paul) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @Dom_Brown2406 @virginmedia Got through. They aim to fix the issue by 10:00

  • MatildaDr Joanne Wells (@MatildaDr) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia you used to be great, but now not so great. I lose my internet connection far more frequently now. There’s an error when I try and change my package online. I’ve phoned customer service now I have to call tomorrow as your systems are down for changing packages

  • lissaburns Melissa Burns (@lissaburns) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @tonight__we_fly @virginmedia Exactly this 👆🏻... at least long serving customers are apparently all treated equally... with poor service 😭

  • lissaburns Melissa Burns (@lissaburns) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia can you help? We’ve been struggling with internet for last 3 weeks. Now dropping on daily basis and devices not connecting. Spent 1.5hrs talking on Thurs... was promised a call back yesterday but received nothing and still major issues. Can someone pls call?

  • richcon98 Richard Conway (@richcon98) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia I have to say @virginmedia are one of the worst companies to contact if you have an issue. Their message system is a joke and accounts a shambles. @skyuk is looking a better prospect!!!!

    @virginmedia had virgin media for 3 weeks and im getting a download speed of 2.1 mbps. Absolutely atrocious. Tried phoning and its virtually impossible to speak with someone. Hopefully when I stop paying they will call me and this shitshow can go. Awful experience.

  • moo2n bella4001 (@moo2n) reported

  • moo2n bella4001 (@moo2n) reported

    @virginmedia Don’t use virgin media . They are bad Their service are terrible I have no service for over a week and when you phone them you speak to a robot and stupid options and after 1 h waiting they put you through a useless abusive human that all it does is insult and obnoxious

  • AGreen41967249 AGBH💚💜 (@AGreen41967249) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, the brown plastic virgin media box on the outside of my house has broken in the recent storms and the wires are exposed. The help chatbot doesn't understand and no answer on WhatsApp, how do I arrange for someone to come and fix it?

  • anexiledjew Israelite in Exile (surviving the Galut) (@anexiledjew) reported

    @virginmedia I don't know what you mean by "delete the email address." I have never used a different email address for Virgin Media.

  • Follower10 A Nonymous (@Follower10) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 after spending 5 mins trying to log into live tv. Going thru a load of steps I get “sign in failed”. Do you actually test anything? Half the options during sign in don’t even work like passkey

  • ELPigeon45698 Jay (@ELPigeon45698) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I haven't been able to sign in to my account for a week now. I cannot access my Account, Sky Sports App, or any Virgin Media tv channels on tablet or phone. The sign in page returns with an error message after I enter the password.

  • sarahkathryncl Sarah Clarke (@sarahkathryncl) reported

    @ArafatHuss37903 @Hyperoptic Yeah. The tech support is even worse than @virginmedia and I didn't think that was possible.

  • PeteWiFi Pete (@PeteWiFi) reported

    @O2 2 years now since I switched, multiple support tickets, many failed promises from you, and I still don’t have my Volt benefits because “my account is not eligible”. Well it’s been eligible from the @virginmedia side since day 1. This is beyond pathetic.

  • tharv tom harvey (@tharv) reported

    @Hyperoptic @virginmedia Even if I still under contract to broken Virgin?
