    @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!

  • Neeknowsbest Kim (@Neeknowsbest) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Hi. I have has my your chat open for 24 hours, sent a text message 36 hours ago and no response to either. As a new customer, with a query, this is not a good start.

  • 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

  • tomasquith93 Tom Asquith (@tomasquith93) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia The only detail I’ve had is as follows and it’s hardly detailed. Please can someone tell me what is the issue and where, with timescales. “Hi, it's Virgin Media here. The installation is kept on hold due to construction issue.”

  • JurassicGarden Char (@JurassicGarden) reported from Didcot, England

    The worst part of Lockdown wasn't the loneliness, the boredom or the agitation. It was seeing ******* Birdseye, McCain's and Virgin Media shoving happy family lockdown vibes down your throat to advertise themselves.

  • 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

  • tomasquith93 Tom Asquith (@tomasquith93) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia I’ve called, but that provided no help. I was told I’d get a callback from a team closer to the issue in 24 hours - which has since passed. Honestly, not a good start and I’ve not got service yet!

  • HaiderAlRekabi Haider Al-Rekabi (@HaiderAlRekabi) reported from Reading, England

  • rockyrobin1982 Robin Conway (@rockyrobin1982) reported from Bracknell, England

    Hey @itv and @virginmedia. Could you please highlight the #WeMakeEvents campaign along with your footage and advertising of V festival coverage? As without support there won’t be another one to broadcast. #lightinred

    @virginmedia tv,internet down for last 2 hours... hub flashing 2 green arrows.., help?!

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia All fine now - but TBH we're probably going to cancel. Our contract is up its going up from £70 to £85/month. To sign a new deal is a £82. Your offer to new customers is £45. I can't be bothered with this hassle every few months so am looking at sky. Thanks for checking though 👍

  • LisaMarieHeenan Lisa-Marie Cuthbertson (@LisaMarieHeenan) reported from Reading, England

    Hi @virginmedia can you please check service RG31 as all services are down, the online check confirms the status is down but only option is book an engineer for Tuesday, does that mean I can expect no TV or Internet until then?

  • ClaaireRichards CLAIRE 👑 (@ClaaireRichards) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve checked says only tv issue in area. Our internet isn’t working at all.

  • k_veves Konstantinos Veves (@k_veves) reported

    @virginmedia No I haven’t and I don’t give … about the Service Status Checker. Every day the same thing. Down, during work hours? You are useless and unreliable. People working from home. Working, not playing. Get serious because you have become ridiculous.

  • Imaralien Lewis Lane (@Imaralien) reported

    @LizzieArthur7 @virginmedia No we're not. it's been crap for a long time but since Saturday it's impossible to stay connected, either via ethernet or WiFi Not sure what I'm going to do as I'm not able to work neither is my husband. I've taken annual leave today as can't keep using my phone data 🤷

  • BigSmoke2112 SV5 (@BigSmoke2112) reported

    @virginmedia Alright thanks. I just want to make it clear im not gonna pay for wifi boosters. If Virgin has to fix this wifi somehow then they should just send them for free, as ive put up with this for too long. Just annoying now.

  • marypcbuk Mary Branscombe (@marypcbuk) reported

    @sbisson @chrisgreen @virginmedia yikes; I'm not delighted about the weird line bounces we've had but I only have to email our ISP and they're switching us to a new provider in case that's the problem

  • ChompStompAndy ChompStomp (@ChompStompAndy) reported

    @virginmedia Doesn't really matter now. Have asked for a deadlock/ ADR to be issued and ofcom notified. You reufuse to allow me my legal right to terminate a contract that I signed last only last Thursday. I'll stick with my existing call time package until I engage another provider.

  • willywallyoohh Willywallyoohh (@willywallyoohh) reported

    @VirginMediaNews WTF !!! Is virgin media that hard up that they make the presenters share dresses!!! Pretty sure @GerLynaghTV had the same dress on last week

  • Tordy3 Toria D (@Tordy3) reported

    @virginmedia No it was never attempted, it never left the depot. The call was only intended to verify my identity but they immediately withdrew the delivery and the tracking changed from “at the depot” to “returning to sender”

  • ChompStompAndy ChompStomp (@ChompStompAndy) reported

    @virginmedia will refuse your basic rights under UK law when they fail to provide services you sign up for. But it is funny how they won't put that in writing despite being asked to back such statements up in writing. Avoid.

  • ChrisChild11 Chris Child (@ChrisChild11) reported

    @virginmedia I'll try but I know it will be the same advice.. We see no problem here and all is good... Wait a week and see if magic happens...
