  @virginmedia Unfortunately, you dont have a ticketing system or cobtact email to track issues, rather a phone system that requires you to wait forever to get through to an agent. A/c number: 095063606. I was charged x2.5 of what i was tp pay.

  @virginmedia I’m currently on hold. My mum is in her 70’s and waited in for an engineer only for them to send a text 10mins before to say you were coming in the 26th. The original appointment was the 21st and her TV service has been down for well over a week.

  @virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.

  @virginmedia its nice you’re offering new customers ridiculously cheap deals but charging prices through the roof for an inferior service for a customer of nearly 20 years #CostOfLivingCrisis

  @virginmedia hi I’ve had an ongoing complaint since September, I’ve had an email to contact yourselves but the phone number is getting me nowhere , is there another way of contacting the complaints dept?

  Alex (@laticwolf) reported 40 minutes ago from Bradmore, England

  @virginmedia good work 👏🏼 issues with WiFi being down constantly as soon as £7.50 monthly bill increases comes in! Currently on hour 5 of no internet and not due to be fixed before 1am 🙃

  Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported 44 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  And just like that my @virginmedia is off again, no internet whatsoever. Embarrassing service from them, very disappointed and frustrated.

  @virginmedia how am I supposed to book an engineer? There are issues with the quick start installation I have and need an engineer to set it up for me

  Stu Jones (@StuJonesMusic) reported 55 minutes ago from Kidderminster, England

  Hi @virginmedia, I am in Kidderminster, Worcestershire (DY11) and my Virgin Media broadband connection is very poor this week. I have checked your website & apparently there are no issues in my area. I have also restated my access point/router twice but no improvement.

• 
  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 55 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @virginmedia I understand that your systems were down last night, which happens, but I’ve been on hold for 30 mins this morning. We have a text to say it’s resolved but it isn’t. I just need to speak to someone please.

• 
  Howard Martin 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HJMKent) reported 57 minutes ago from Kidderminster, England

  @virginmedia You have just repeated, word for word, the last tweet you sent me, to which I replied! Pointless trying to have any conversation with @virginmedia because it just goes round in circles! The most appalling customer services in UK in my experience! No more tweets from you, please!

Virgin Media Issues Reports

  Michael SniedzeHinde (@MichaelSniedzeH) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia not tv service in the WD4 area since last night!

• 
  IFB Media (@IFBMedia) reported 7 minutes ago

  This is the problem LOI TV and Virgin Media can’t solve on their own. Both have done more for this league in a few years than RTÉ managed in decades. Let that sit for a second. A streaming service and a commercial broadcaster have outworked the national broadcaster on its own game. RTÉ isn’t short on money. It’s short on will. Every household in this country funds that broadcaster through the licence fee. League of Ireland clubs are part of that country too. Yet the domestic game still gets treated like an inconvenience, squeezed out whenever something bigger comes along… That’s not neutrality. That’s a broadcaster showing you exactly where its priorities sit. And it ain’t with covering our Domestic Football teams irrespective of whether it’s home, abroad or both. Other platforms shouldn’t be doing RTÉ’s job for it. They shouldn’t have to. A national broadcaster shows up for the national game. Consistently. Not when it suits the schedule. Until RTÉ treats League of Ireland like it matters, everyone else will keep doing the job it was funded to do. That’s not a compliment to the others. It’s an indictment of RTÉ. This is exactly why Irish football needs a genuine TV deal, not scraps of coverage from whoever happens to show up. The prize money isn’t there. The funding model is fragile. A real broadcast deal is how you finally finance this league properly. Until that exists, moments like this keep repeating.

  @virginmedia why is your service so unreliable and no one can solve the problem it is a complete disgrace #virginmedia

  Steph (@StephyCoops) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have missed every single England game due to the crap service from virgin media. 3 days of no internet last week supposedly fixed but goes down again today. I work from home and I’m totally fed up with it.

• 
  Paul Williams (@bushmills7d) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia another day with out service. That was nearly all day yesterday and so far 4 hours today. That’s three times this week so far. But I bet you’ll still take your money for no service

• 
  Carrie Walsh (@carrie_walsh_) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia hi our wifi has been intermittent and slow all week and is now once again not working. Can't even get on to your website. Seems to be local to SE27 as my neighbours also have the same problem. Can we please get this fixed?

• 
  Rachel (@_xr4ch3l) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia complaints dept, how does this even work? I raised a complaint about my house move/disconnection and you've closed it as 'resolved to my satisfaction' - despite zero response from you. Impressive. Didn't even have to lift a finger!

• 
  Nicky P. Smalley (@Nicky_P_Smalley) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia It’s been nearly 2 weeks now. Drop ops/low speeds are still continuing in s63. I keep getting texts saying you’ve identified the problem and sending someone out, but all that happens is you change date of when it’ll be fixed, but fix it you have not!

  @virginmedia Has anyone else had their Virgin Media account locked for over two months and despite multiple phone calls and false promises nothing happens ? Should I just leave virgin ? Very poor customer service

  Jordan (@JordanPsych_) reported 20 minutes ago
