  Jamie Meecham🏳️‍🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported 2 minutes ago from Canvey Island, England

  @virginmedia care to explain why a member of staff felt that hanging up on a customer complaining about their broadband is acceptable? And now I’m stuck on hold AGAIN to solve my issue.

  @virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

  @virginmedia Your missing the point my phone works now my complaint was about the fact it took 9 days to activate and Virgin changed the number

  @virginmedia @nickgooner80 I wanna know why my broadband has been all day! I do not want to be paying for a service I cannot use!!!!!! 🤬🤬 I have a bored 6 year old. SORT IT OUT!!! And I can’t check my service status as I can’t access the internet even on my 4G or the virgin media app.

  @kelseybytheway @virginmedia Second this so ******* hard. Diagnostics dont do **** when the issue is with the hardware itself

  Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported 33 minutes ago from Wainscott, England

  @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

  Paul Parker (@paulparker81) reported 33 minutes ago from Basildon, England

  @virginmedia experiencing the worst customer service I have ever had. Been a customer for 10+ years but not after today @SkyUK will be gaining another customer instead

  @MrG48 @virginmedia Yep. Turned it all off once came back ok but very hit and miss tonight. Good job not working from home at the moment.

  ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported 42 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  Wow Virgin media TV services are down nationwide due to a power outage. That's an awful lot of compensation.

  paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported 44 minutes ago from Rochester, England

  Two contrasting phone calls to @virginmedia CS this morning. Really unhelpful 1st guy / rude. Rang directly back and the differner guy was absolutely amazing. Mathew was his name and he needs a praise. 1st guy really needs a lesson in customer service. Thank you Mathew.

  SatansLittleGirl🔮 (@lillyelizax) reported 46 minutes ago from Gillingham, England

  @virginmedia There isn’t internet down time the box has stopped working, they can’t get a new box out here till mid week, with a lot of people working from home you think you’d have next day delivery or something, bad enough we can’t have a engineer out to help

• 
  Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported 46 minutes ago from Rochester, England

  @virginmedia No as normal Virgin customer service go quiet until I am forced to ring them again and as for the bill no additional charges you just seem to have doubled the bill

• 
  Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported 49 minutes ago from Gillingham, England

  @virginmedia No and there’s no point. You’ve had two years to fix this. I’m not paying any more and you can sue me. See you in court.

• 
  Kelda🥤 (@keldaaa) reported 57 minutes ago from Canvey Island, England

  @virginmedia I can’t seem to find an email address or postal address for general queries, can you please provide me with one? My nan is now in a care home with dementia and we need to cancel her landline, broadband & mobile on her behalf so need to write to you to give details.

• 
  Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported 60 minutes ago from Gillingham, England

  @virginmedia No, we’re way past all that now, this has been going on for months/years. Now, I can’t even get to talk to anyone. I’ve requested you change my box. You haven’t. What is the head office address for service of legal documents please?

  Carrie (@IamCarrieagain) reported 4 minutes ago

  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

• 
  ProudWhiteMe (@ProudWhiteMe) reported 9 minutes ago

  @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

  D (@idczn) reported 16 minutes ago

  Since this day AppStore asks me for password every time I want to get any app and i coild swaer- its like- another App store site is opening. But Apple explains: all is good. I don't think so. If Apple cannot help, police doesn't care,Virgin media couldn't get anything: is there anyone in this world who knows what ******** is on? Or gypsy hacker is the cyber-master of the whole world?

• 
  Dermot O'Leary (@dollDCFC) reported 16 minutes ago

  @Benleo I know this will be of little conciliation to you but I recently had an issue with my @virginmedia broadband. It required a new Hub. I phoned on a Tuesday late afternoon and they booked a call out for the Thursday PM. They arrived on time and fitted the new Hub. I had no issues.

• 
  Elliott (@asher_pr1nce) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia my app says we're out of contract, I have tried 4 times to renew it with the same package, for cheaper and it says I'd get a email but, I've never received one. With my bill at £115+ now, I want this sorted otherwise I will shop around for better options.

• 
  TraderPaulAI ✿ (@TraderPaulFX) reported 21 minutes ago

  @CityFibre have blanket banned anyone from having fast fibre broadband who has a Telecare device (warden alarm system). @virginmedia the only realistic alternative in my area, had me up and running within 3 days of ordering. No dramas, excellent service!

  @Benleo @virginmedia are the company we've signed up to........I'm feeling very concerned now about how they treat their customers.

  @virginmedia It is default to audio descriptive so I change it to Original Dolby Audio both via the context (…) and pressing down and along to audio & subtitles but it’s not changing anything even though it appears to select what I want

  michael albertina (@scoggs70) reported 26 minutes ago

  @virginmedia If I don't it will never be resolved, so please do. As I am missing services I can only presume I will be refunded an acceptable amount for my inconvenience? I still await my refund from December when I was without service for 5 days?
