    @virginmedia 1hour waiting the first time and disconnected. This is the second time, still on the phone and waiting 55min. It is pretty much the whole day wasted trying to talk to customer services. Can you please help?

    @virginmedia Came back on Sunday morning, obvs pleased it was fixed but a 14 hour outage this weekend following a 46 hour outage last weekend, service used to be so good but seems to be very unreliable at the moment

  • SpaWellbeing Spa Wellbeing (@SpaWellbeing) reported from Wokingham, England

    What’s wrong with Virgin Media? Unable to access my emails for several days now. Virgin say they’re working on it but the problem’s still not sorted. Is anyone else suffering this acute inconvenience?

  • c_s_skinner ©️🅰️®️🅾️ Lℹ️N📧 (@c_s_skinner) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia your WiFi box is rubbish, we keep loosing signal. Dreadful service. Do not recommend 😡

  • HollySquirrel Kim Marie Pike (@HollySquirrel) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia My husband has been unable to contact anyone at customer service. It seems our router has an intermittent fault. Please advise ASAP. My husband is a key worker (electricity generation), having a stable internet connection, is essential. 2/2

  • aamer74 aamer habib (@aamer74) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @gracegrxnde @virginmedia My one has been off since half a day when it started raining in London it’s just terrible doesn’t come on at all

    @virginmedia how do I speak to someone about my mobile phone. I haven’t been able to swap my sim as my sim port is broken, so today you have cut me off, despite me still paying bills!!!

  • boffbowsh Paul Bowsher (@boffbowsh) reported from Wokingham, England

  • HollySquirrel Kim Marie Pike (@HollySquirrel) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia We need this sorting, as there are 3 of us working from home, involving video meetings. How do we get in touch with you to sort our services out? Our TIVo box is also slow to respond and on-demand isn’t working, due to internet problems. Help. Now. Please.

  • chantelle_ukccf Chantelle Newton (@chantelle_ukccf) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I have a support query which I have submitted via the Virgin Media app and I have tried calling but I’m getting no where. Can you provide a contact channel that will actually get me the support I need?

  • djmessyxjessy Jessica Boshier (@djmessyxjessy) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia why do we keep getting cut off from your help line when you’re saying your going to block my mums phone. Answer!!!!

  • rohaaminho Najm Khan (@rohaaminho) reported from Farnborough, England

    Had the worst internet day ever. Never use Utility Warehouse or whoever own the line around here which is @virginmedia

  • Elobeid82Sausan SassyElo (@Elobeid82Sausan) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia No interest connection in High Wycombe. Please advise on when the issue will be resolved.

  • kirsten_willis Kirsten Willis BEM (@kirsten_willis) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia what is so difficult about customer service these days? Spent the last 4 days going through the repetitive process of checking out WiFi connection, eventually got a number to call TL get cut off after a 30 min wait! Not impressed!

  • djmessyxjessy Jessica Boshier (@djmessyxjessy) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia why do you keep hanging up on your help line thatwere on hold for, for 30 minutes a time. Answer and help

  • aamer74 aamer habib (@aamer74) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia It is all plugged in but every day when it gets hot it stops working and does not come on till the late evening and in the morning it’s the same back to not working

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Hi there. Never got my 5 GB SIM card as stated in my contract. Been waiting for over a month and never got it! Impossible to get through customer services to speak to a human...

  • mram1rkhan Amir Khan (@mram1rkhan) reported

    @virginmedia how long is too long waiting in a queue to speak to your support staff? So far I've been waiting just over an hour on hold. Not impressed

  • RedRose_Mystee Elma Raper (@RedRose_Mystee) reported

    @virginmedia it wouldn't be so bad if I was trying to get info or things under a guise but I'm not I'm trying to let you know a valued customer is in hospital unable to use a service that he's being charged for, if passwords are so important why no need for one if I'm paying his bill?

  • tomwinter999 Tom (@tomwinter999) reported

    @virginmedia We are having problems with the full connection of wifi. It's never been right since we moved into this address. We meant to get 200 meg speed we were told by Virgin and we were getting 97 meg even with stand a lone mode. The Vrigin worker told us how to do it

  • VanessaAHopkins Vanessa (@VanessaAHopkins) reported

    @virginmedia If I could get into it I would. That's another issue, I have been locked out of my new account ever since we moved when I make an enquiry I am told my account has been disconnected but that was for my old address

  • AndyRFCCharman Andy C #FBPE (@AndyRFCCharman) reported

    @virginmedia ‘Security reasons’ yet ask me to give out full postcode on Twitter! Numerous large organisations seem able to do DM without issues So how are people meant to contact you online? The irony of an ISP not providing email addresses, live chats, secure online comms etc! #poorservice

  • AndyRFCCharman Andy C #FBPE (@AndyRFCCharman) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. I understand that. I also tweeted @VirginHelp who have yet to respond. I trust the ‘help’ actually means something and they aren’t also just a PR exercise. Incidentally VMs refusal to provide anything but (poor) offshore phone support is hardly ‘account specific’.

  • MrsTWymer Mrs T Wymer (@MrsTWymer) reported

    @virginmedia Hi! Our landline isn't working and I'm in a never-ending loop trying to contact someone on your website. No service outages, no equipment issues and no dial tone. How can I get this resolved? Thanks.

  • ReidBst B TR (@ReidBst) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia we have tried to call many many times in the past, if you want me to do a Web chat, I am more than happy, but I need to know how we can talk to someone at virgin media who can help.

  • Ads_LDN Ads ⭐️⭐️ (@Ads_LDN) reported

    Anyone else in W4 having Virgin media broadband issues?

  • porthkea Stephen 〓〓 (@porthkea) reported

    @virginmedia So it turns out Virgin Media opted out of the fair pricing scheme that Ofcom wanted your industry to adopt. I didn't know that. I think that's a pretty condescending way to treat existing customers. I'm glad I left.
