  @virginmedia haha you mean the same forum where they didn’t answer me for days last time, and they didn’t resolve anything???? waste of time. they told me to check the speed and check for area issues. absolutely awful customer service when i’ve been complaining about this for WEEKS now.

  @virginmedia But when a contract is agreed like a mortgage or a fixed energy deal surely the agreement should last the full term. I’ve had issues since September & been told I can’t leave due to being under a contract so why should my costs go up when I’ve got an agreement in place until Dec

  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 21 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @virginmedia Yes, the fault dates back from the 25th August and hopefully a fix will be made tomorrow, if not an engineer is booked for next week. When I finally got through the team were very helpful

  @Tilton247 @virginmedia I had the same for 2 years. Constantly disconnecting on a daily basis . Changed the Hub and it worked straight away. No issues since. Good luck getting a new hub off them though.

  Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported 34 minutes ago from Kidderminster, England

  @virginmedia Can you please explain why, when I renewed my package in March you reduced my last invoiced bill to reflect the change & took by DD what you said you would! Now you say you will suspend my service because I underpaid? You took what you wanted!

  @virginmedia I’m currently without broadband in the KT8 area. Status page is showing an issue but with a fix date of 22nd. This can’t be true. I’m a remote worker and unable to do my job without connectivity.

  Paul ▶️ (@customerchamp1) reported 10 minutes ago

  Who remembers when @O2 customer service was good? Since the merger with the appalling @virginmedia it's been absolutely diabolical. Trying to help a vulnerable relative, been on hold for 45 minutes 🤮🤮🤮 to reset his password. Shameful.

  @virginmedia Yes, it said issues with broadband and tv, but it’s been 3 consecutive days now. Plus like I said I can’t get mobile signal and I don’t live in the middle of nowhere so dependent on wifi calls unfortunately.

  @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?

  keith addy (@ads913) reported 19 minutes ago

  @virginmedia 20+ years a loyal customer, paying £128/month. New customers can sign up TODAY for the exact same package — Gig1 broadband, Mega TV, Sky Sports & Cinema — for £76.99/month. That's £51/month MORE for being loyal. Explain that. #VirginMedia #CustomerService

  @virginmedia hi, our internet has been intermittent since 30th May (ML2), with resolution dates moving back repeatedly. Can you advise on a ACTUAL date from which we will resume 100% service?

  @paulveness1974 @virginmedia I think that many peoples problems stem from using wifi, everything I have connected to the Internet, TVs and PC are hard wired, i never have a problem. I remember I used the Smart TV features once, never used it since, I press somethings it's instant not sat waiting to load.
