    Anyone recommend a phone network been with @O2 for years and since it merged with @virginmedia it’s shocking. When I went on holiday before I’d never had problems this year wouldn’t let me go my own internet & here signal keeps going for phoning not to mention rise in scam calls

    @virginmedia I hung up the call, rang back and spoke with a lovely man. Reset my email, password and answered all my quedtions. All the men are when you call, the female was awful. But thank you for the response

  • AnnielizzieSten
    Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia It’s strange because the online help claims there’s no problem but the phone says there’s a major problem in the area. Perhaps the online help needs updating because it’s no help at all

    @virginmedia I've emailed MD and they called me within the hour and sorted my issue out within 10 minutes. You should be ashamed of yourselves

  • paul_phillips83

    @virginmedia the cheek or virgin media staff complain about virgin router dropping out constantly call raise a complaint and tell them router is disconnected from network and request a hub 4 as been told this is what’s needed I get told I have to upgrade to 1 gig for new router

  • ReeceBryan94
    Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia how do we get the new wifi extender pods or a new Virgin Hub? Our wifi signal and speed changes dramatically between the front and back of the house, the coverage is dreadful

  • HarlamTK
    Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to resolve an issue with your collections team regarding an incorrect default and because I no longer bank with the same account and do not have those details, they won’t talk to me, yet they are happy to just take money off me without telling me why. It’s disgusting

  • parky1021
    simon parkinson (@parky1021) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia WiFi constantly dropping out. How do I fix this plz

  • Helen_Claire71
    Helen-Claire Stone (@Helen_Claire71) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia’s customer service is appalling. 3 hours to respond to a message has to be the benchmark for worst practice. Last weekend it took them 27 hours to sort out cancelling my account. Absolutely hopeless.

  • cranworth791
    Sam Millington (@cranworth791) reported from Rawmarsh, England

    @virginmedia Yeah that’s fine, or just a phone number / person to deal with? It’s my parents business and they have their property engineers coming out to view the issue on Monday. I assume they will be in touch themselves regarding the issues. Luckily it’s just rain water, and not sewage.

  • Callum_SEND
    Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate you trying to help. The issue is with the virgin contract being 18 months and the "new" o2 deal being 24 months and how this would impact as I looked to renegotiate in 18 months

  • Forcegayle
    G Strachan (@Forcegayle) reported

    @rilf07 @rebhalp @virginmedia Their social media account posts are never about currently what is happening now. It's terrible.

  • STEMbySTM
    STEM by STM (@STEMbySTM) reported

    @virginmedia How would any vm customer without twitter know there's an issue when the online system checker either can't find your account or simply doesn't work? Awful customer service.

  • Nasher6328
    Mr Nash (@Nasher6328) reported

    @virginmedia As you wasn't supplying a service for hours are you giving us compensation or are we allowed to leave free of charge?;

  • AnnyTrish
    Trisha (@AnnyTrish) reported

    @virginmedia All channels are scrambled. So that means any scheduled recordings will be useless. Zero info on the VM app. All you get is - sorry, please try again later. No help, no information, no nothing!

  • pilome2
    Jo (@pilome2) reported

    @5IMON_ @virginmedia Exactly the same here in Glasgow. I can watch youtube on the app. Hopefully they get a finger out and fix it.

    I’ve had zero TV signal since before lunchtime @virginmedia and was wondering if you’re going to actually sort it out and as a gesture of good faith knock money off this months bill
