    @virginmedia I signed up to your service & order a sim only deal. I’ve been trying to order another one but can’t log in to my account. Keeps saying there has been a problem and try later. This is my first ever experience with Virgin. I can’t log in nor can I place my order #firstimpressions

    Najm Khan (@rohaaminho) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Is this related to this breach. If not that’s even worse and just says the service is really bad

  • smithsterbloke
    Gary Smith (@smithsterbloke) reported from Bracknell, England

    Called to discuss end of contract and to retain my business (especially during uncertain times and current my employment status) and help reduce costs. Told it’s going to cost £15 more than we already are on! SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING US! DISGUSTED! @virginmedia

  • StJamesofFleet
    James Snyder (@StJamesofFleet) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia been on hold for 25 on a second call. The first disconnected. Problems with BB for three days and now the hub doesn’t even power on after an apparent update!

  • perrycoke
    Kezza 🙃 (@perrycoke) reported from Hurst, England

    @virginmedia I managed to get through to customer services in the end & now have an engineer booked for 2moro between 7am & 12pm. Going to cost me half a days work now.

  • Cooper100Nicola
    Nicola Cooper (@Cooper100Nicola) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I’m still waiting for someone to reply to me about my bill. I get cut off when I try to phone, the online complaint form receives an error on every submission, there is no chat functionality available and I can’t get a reply in social media. Please advise ASAP. Thank you.

  • safdar
    Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia No known issues according to the tests but when I call your support they always say otherwise. I clearly have issues.

    Wanted to watch YT on #VirginMedia to see TSMGO: Phantom of the Opera but dear it is down at the moment! Unacceptable!

  • philip_e_davies

    @sabrakhan @virginmedia Mine used to be fast but got very slow a couple of weeks ago

  • perrycoke
    Kezza 🙃 (@perrycoke) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia twice I’ve been on hold to customer service for 25mins only to get cut off. My broadband & TiVo hasn’t been working since 4pm. I’ve tried restarting the hub many times, checked the connections as well. I work from home & this is not what I need right now.

  • K74Marti
    Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, England

    @lastdart @virginmedia I am with you on this one. They may have me over a barrel right now but when this is all over and normal service is resolved they can say farewell to this customer. If this is the way they treat loyal customer then #SirRichardBranson is in for a big expensive shock.

  • patinkent
    Pat Cox (@patinkent) reported

    @virginmedia I am not sure, haven't logged in to Virgin for a long time. But it recognised the email address and asked me to sign in? Was wondering if I should choose my blog and story writing email address?

  • gill_birrell
    Gill Birrell (@gill_birrell) reported

    @vmbusiness any ideas how to get an update on our line that was supposed to be installed last month? Service & communication is absolutely rubbish. The only updates we get are “there are no updates”. This is business critical & no one seems to care.

  • ThisGeezer1
    I'm 40 today (@ThisGeezer1) reported

    @virginmedia I had a text from them saying new equipment was activated after I called them yesterday but it's still showing same errors.

  • n4ncydavis
    Nancy 🦊 (@n4ncydavis) reported

    @virginmedia why are you forcing me and my partner to stay in an 18 month contract that we didn’t agree to sign up to? why do you keep lying to us, saying that you will call us back to cancel the contract, but we never hear?

  • MariziaMusic
    Marizia (@MariziaMusic) reported

    @virginmedia when are you going to fix the WiFi issue? Been down since Monday night. Managed to book a technician before your service page went down completely. Will be expecting compensation for this week; mobile data is rinsed now

  • Nas_K86
    Nas_K (@Nas_K86) reported

    @virginmedia Then i kept ringing back as with new box connection still dropped and was told cant cancel as 14day grace was over! Never got call backs when promised..had to take time out of work to keep calling you guys.

  • n4ncydavis
    Nancy 🦊 (@n4ncydavis) reported

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp why would THREE of your agents promise us a call back the same day to confirm the cancellation of the contract, but then never call? I guess they just get us off the phone and action nothing, so we are just someone else’s problem next time we call?

  • Tim_Ozzy72
    Tim Osborne (@Tim_Ozzy72) reported

    @virginmedia But you can’t fix your teams attitude, the language barrier nor their dreadful interpretation of customer service As a self employed guy you owe me £85 for yesterdays wasted time on the phone - start there

  • NickHollisUK
    Nick Hollis🇺🇦 (@NickHollisUK) reported

    @virginmedia Another email address succeeded today without issue, but the original one remains unverified

  • MrUziH
    kh (@MrUziH) reported

    @virginmedia a text before you’re performing ‘essential works’ would really benefit people working from home, usually get one but this time I haven’t? Virgin again with brilliant customer service.
