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

  • 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.

    @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.

  • cobysaur Ryan Byford (@cobysaur) reported from Wokingham, England

  • GariClark Gari Clark (@GariClark) reported from Reading, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I'm trying to pay a bill through your app, but every time I try to pay, it keeps saying ”session has timed out” and has done for the last couple of days. Before this, I've never had an issue with it but it's not happening this time. Please advise. Thanks.

  • catch_cancer Catch Me If You Cancer (@catch_cancer) reported from Maidenhead, 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

  • HollieWickens1 Hollie Wickens (@HollieWickens1) reported

    @virginmedia So you can't even state that there is an issue, despite every single house on my street being affected? Again, 'as soon as you can' does not help me work. It's been three days now, and the law has changed to make us all work from home. How can we do that without broadband?

  • Robjthomas7 Rob Thomas (@Robjthomas7) reported

    @virginmedia @mikeholmes147 Honestly the worst provider, mine been doing the same! Can’t wait to get out of this contract so I can switch..least **** Turpin wore a mask.

  • edhawkesworth Ed Hawk (@edhawkesworth) reported

    Hey @virginmedia, 165 days & still no gift card. Who do I speak to? Complaints dept fobbed me off, helpline hung up, still waiting for customer services to reply (24 days & counting)..

  • davebriggs63 dave (@davebriggs63) reported

    @virginmedia moved house, booked install/transfer from old house 2 weeks ago to be installed today..... Guess what..not turned up and when I've rang I'm told it's on hold. Why wasn't I told? I've had to book today off work!!!!When I call advisors either hang up and leave on hold!

  • noosnoos1 Nicola Spiller (@noosnoos1) reported

    @virginmedia wow what a rip off at the most of distressing times. We call to inform you of the passing of my dad and change account to my mums name. No change in service and despite being advised all would be the same, you now write confirming it’s an extra £40 a month!! #ripoff

  • VickyNewton94 Victoria Newton (@VickyNewton94) reported

    @virginmedia continued … to add to it the customer service has been as much use as a chocolate tea pot! Hours I have spent on phones and on chat to get nowhere when they have admitted things were their error to offer no solution or compensation.

  • nkrs87 nkrs87 (@nkrs87) reported

    @virginmedia your contact centre staff just put the phone down on me for no reason #rude

  • n_parfitt Nathan (@n_parfitt) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, I'm not calling again, I've told them to cancel it. I was on the phone longer than acceptable. If the engineer turns up, they will be sent away.. nothing more I can do, or really.. should have to. Thanks though

  • mikeholmes147 mycombs (@mikeholmes147) reported

    @virginmedia Yep. Already done that too. Guess what- they told me to turn it off and on again. You’re unbelievable. If you’re happy to provide an intermittent service, then I assume it’ll be acceptable for me to make intermittent payments?

  • HollieWickens1 Hollie Wickens (@HollieWickens1) reported

    @virginmedia This link says that there are no service issues in my area. A Virgin engineer visiting my nextdoor neighbour informed me my entire street is without broadband and this won't be resolved until Wednesday morning. How are any of us meant to work from home?
