  Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported 1 minute ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM

  @virginmedia afternoon. I’ve been on hold for 25 mins and when I finally got through the line went dead after security questions. My mum has been without her TV service for over a week. Last night an engineer was due by 6 o’clock and never showed. Another text stating the 26th

  @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

  @virginmedia Just called your offshore call centre regarding my internet connection. I’m having the same issues as I had when I got a £154 credit from you. /1

  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 11 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @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 Think we need to call an engineer out anyways, before the outage I was only getting 600mbps max when my package is the 1Gig.

  @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

• 
  Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported 48 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate. My account has notes regarding the reason why the credit was given last time. Ideally I don’t want to wait so long for the same issue to be fixed.

  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 50 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @Ofcom can I complain about @virginmedia to yourselves? Had no TV service for nearly a month with no help.

  @virginmedia red button for the football not working again. @SkySports

  Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported 54 minutes ago from Swindon, England

  @virginmedia Dear ‘RP,’ I find your tone unacceptable. I don’t care how many times you’ve had to repeat the statement; customers are paying for a service they’ve not been getting, so dial down your level of obnoxiousness please.

• 
  Adie Hughes (@AdieJAMster) reported 54 minutes ago from Swindon, England

  @virginmedia Internet has been down again for the whole night. When I spoke to you about the recent last 6 times it’s been down you said there was no issue! Looks like whole of UK was down now yet our bills go UP & UP & UP! #virginmedia

  billy winter (@billywi56359173) reported 4 minutes ago

  @virginmedia too busy money grabbing working through bots instead of getting real people to support your customers with actual help, fed up of trying to explain to a robot what’s going on

• 
  Sarah Baber (@babester15) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia if you’re going to have a phone number would be nice if answered - just been on hold waiting to get through for 2 hours and then the call inexplicably cut out. All for something that should be easy to do and find on my online account!

• 
  Stephen Old German - English Translator (@old_stephen) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia laptop asking me if I have a passcode on another device. What am I supposed to do? Open some proper shops where I can get help.

• 
  Christopher Knibb (@chris_knibb) reported 14 minutes ago

  Do not use @virginmedia Twitter - they are scammers. Spoke on the phone to VM call centre who said VM would never ask the questions this X account and the WhatsApp account they connect you with would ask. AVOID!!!!

  Mark (@kram2510) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia why is the WiFi so poor around Nottingham area , getting 1mb download , not acceptable when paying £60 a month+

• 
  Chris Hobbs (@obbsie) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia For fours hours I've been holding for customer service and listening to the same piece of dire muzak over and over again. Across SM I see nothing but complaints about customer service & a failure to respond. This surely isn't good enough.

• 
  Jim Harrigan (@Bloodrave1984) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Fix your internet because I've been getting disconnects and reconnect every few minutes. This is not good enough given the bill I pay, I expect reliable service not this sub-standard unreliable service. Maybe I should contact Trading Standards for breach of Contract

  Bob Price - bobsrailrelics (@Huxleypiguk) reported 18 minutes ago

  And finally, got through, but transferred so another 30 minutes wait. Package sorted but oh my word, @virginmedia sort yourselves out: 1. Employ more first line staff 2. Fix your chat bot 3. Get a catalogue of hold music. The same track over and over again is torture.
