  • Ebike_holidays National Forest E-Bike Holidays (@Ebike_holidays) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia It’s even more stressful as we can’t tell her when you will resolve the problem. Extremely poor service.

  • horseracingmama whatsitallabout!! (@horseracingmama) reported from Burton upon Trent, England

    @virginmedia can’t wait till they read the feedback on the email survey they asked me to do they scored a massive 0 from me and no I would not recommend them and will never go back to them either!!

  • HopeFord1994 Hope Ford (@HopeFord1994) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @virginmedia Day 10 of no internet, partner has rang countless times spent the best part of 5-6 hours in total to various departments. Terrible as a new customer!

  • katej1984 Kate J (@katej1984) reported from Sandiacre, England

    @virginmedia any chance you could hire call centre staff that don’t hang up the phone after 3 seconds in an attempt to bring their AHT down?

  • JackalynHardy Jackalyn Hardy 💙 (@JackalynHardy) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @virginmedia waited for 25mins to get through to discuss changing my contract gave all my details put on hold and then cut off, despite having my number and mobile they haven't even tried to call me back great customer service

  • iRacing74 DJ Knight 🇬🇧 (@iRacing74) reported from Sandiacre, England

    With public service cuts, why do we year upon year pay more Council Tax for less service? Virgin Media put their prices, but do not reduce my service - If they did I'd cancel the service. We are legally obliged to pay more for less - go figure 🤷

  • Ebike_holidays National Forest E-Bike Holidays (@Ebike_holidays) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia We followed instructions to switch phones to fibre optic. Can dial out but can’t get calls. It’s really upset my mother in law as she is vulnerable and we are her emergency support. Our mobile signal is very poor at home, so she is frightened she can’t contact us.

  • derbydog1976 Derbydog (@derbydog1976) reported from Stenson Fields, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp is there a problem with the internet as mine has just dropped off

  • mufcsmk Stuart miller-kirkpatrick (@mufcsmk) reported from Measham, England

    @virginmedia please stop ringing me, il never come back #BYEBYEBYE

  • dergal Gerry White SEO geek (@dergal) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia helping out my 74 year old mother, when she resigned with you at Christmas, you also promised to send out a new V6 box, it never arrived, I chased this up and then you sent an older TiVo box. I spoke to the guy and he told me they're the same !?

  • dergal Gerry White SEO geek (@dergal) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia I tried - I assume it doesn't work on a mobile!?

  • Andyfoodie Andrew Markou (@Andyfoodie) reported from Tamworth District, England

    Hi @virginmedia I live in the B77 4LD area and we use you as our Broadband providers. Has the network gone down and if so approximately when will it get fixed and be back up and running?

  • alextiplerfilm Alex Tipler (@alextiplerfilm) reported from Coalville, England

    @virginmedia Hi I cannot log in to my Virgin Media go account nor change my password. Please help me as I need this urgently!

  • LizzieMizzie_ Lizzie Jane 🎭 (@LizzieMizzie_) reported from Market Bosworth, England

    @virginmedia I am currently on 3G and it’s SLOW! So a refund would be the right thing to do. Especially if the money has already come out of my account. I have screenshots to prove it’s not working.

  • alextiplerfilm Alex Tipler (@alextiplerfilm) reported from Coalville, England

    @virginmedia You don't have internet access yet you are on twitter? Can you not get someone to ring me. I am stuck on hold, 16 minutes now, waiting to resolve your issue!

  • gamepopper Gamepopper (@gamepopper) reported from Lichfield, England

    I forgot that Virgin Media were future proofing their network in my area. Watching Wolfwalkers to pass the time...

  • TheRealSiOram77 Simon Oram 💙 (@TheRealSiOram77) reported from Fazeley, England

    @virginmedia No broadband or TV at the moment. Been poor for a few days. Website just says you're aware of the issue. Can't get through by phone and tried to sign up for updates but keeps failing. WiFi needed for work. Any suggestions?

    @kings4ud @virginmedia You don't have to wait. You can cancel at anytime. You may get a cancellation charge but you can fight it and refuse to pay it.

  • TheColinReed Colin (@TheColinReed) reported

    @virginmedia I'll keep trying, but is there any other option for boosting the signal around the house without using the app? Do the WiFi pods work without it? I have some very thick walls.

  • qbahmed1 qbahmed (@qbahmed1) reported

    @virginmedia Contacting your customer service is the worst part. The amount of time wasted without an outcome is horrendous, the deceiving information by the agent is scary & the attitude is completely unacceptable.

  • King1315M mike king (@King1315M) reported

    @virginmedia It's not to do with no service, it's to do with an installation that took 3 weeks, the inefficiency of the call centres, failure to do the work and compensation. Who do I call to rectify.

  • Shaun23972 Shaun craig (@Shaun23972) reported

    @stephanemouill1 @virginmedia This is exactly the position I'll be in at end of the month. I'd rather stay with VM but only want broadband. Can't afford the price rise on my current package If they're not allowing this, I'll cancel after 14 years with them and start making other arrangements with @TalkTalk

  • Darryl_1988 Darryl Stephens (@Darryl_1988) reported

    @virginmedia You never offer the best deal, it's a silly game where as you get passed from person to person you miraculously find a slightly better deal. You offer new customers a package for 29.99 and the best you can offer the same package an existing customer is £57 (2 days previous it was

  • Katerina_Bakou_ Ms Bakou (@Katerina_Bakou_) reported

    @virginmedia My flat was rebuilt after a fire, with new cables installed down to the Virgin Box. Before the fire the flat had Virgin (the rest of the building still does) but your database hasn’t been updated to show that my flat is ready to go again. Do you have an email address to contact?

  • LordChislehurst Darren Keen (@LordChislehurst) reported

    So @virginmedia chat is the faster way to chat and you might get better deals, 3.5 hours logged on to chat with no sign of a human response, just some sales pitch nonsense. Truly awful service, I'm assuming Virgin relates to their lack of experience with satisfying customers!

  • Adamsons_Vs The Adamsons (@Adamsons_Vs) reported

    @virginmedia It's not a local service issue, it's a fault on our property

  • stevewood_ Steve Wood (@stevewood_) reported

    @virginmedia Lots of empty apologies, more goodwill gestures, yet another appointment, think it's going to be number eight or nine, and I'm just not confident that it will be even sorted then. Can't escalate it to a full complaint as I need an account, can't have an account without a service
