    @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!

  • roballan07 Rob Allan (@roballan07) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Yes when talking about the quality of customer service I have received from @virginmedia in the past week.

  • kyle2tweet kyle2tweet (@kyle2tweet) reported from Bracknell, England

    @JackSheaFFC @virginmedia I know so if I’m waiting for a call back then OBVIOUSLY I’ve already raised a complaint 🤣 no common sense with this company!

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Proposed resolution time is 16h00 - so service has been out since 10h30 and I work from home...

  • mattrobertsCFC Matt Roberts (@mattrobertsCFC) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Thanks @virginmedia Definitely not broadband on, @amazonprimesport need to sort out their network.

  • flyingjok John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @dgrutsch @virginmedia @SkyMediaUK @virginmedia has lost direction and customer focus IMO. After trying to tell me there was no fault in my area, before agreeing for an engineer to visit and check system (multiple faults) it proposed sending a pack of cables for me to try and fix myself. Err I don’t think so!

  • donnataylor7 Donna Webster (@donnataylor7) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I have resolved it now but I’m tired of having to fight to get a good service. I had to threaten to report it to Watchdog before getting through to someone who could help.

  • CorneliusEvans Chris Evans (@CorneliusEvans) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Netflix is not working with our broadband service you might want to looking in to this as all other streaming service work fine. P.s I’m VM service tech 😉

  • dionne_angus Dionne Angus (@dionne_angus) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia just love paying for services which I'm not getting! Seriously sort it out or I will be going elsewhere. No tv, no internet your service is an absolute joke!

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @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.

  • katesj1983 Kate (@katesj1983) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Already done that and run tests nothing..and it’s still a mess. My wired connections are also going super slow as well as WiFi

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Really need to consider my options and look at other service providers - ongoing intermittent service for a week now and keep getting fobbed off by you CSA's - I think you may want to consider reviewing your customer services. #badcustomerservice #virginmedia

  • donnataylor7 Donna Webster (@donnataylor7) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I didn’t receive my new contract on April, was not told of 6 month discount price shot up and I had to fight to get my billing date changed. Overall not a good service 😡. Took me over 30 mins on telephone to try and resolve

  • danarnie Danny Daly-Arnett (@danarnie) reported from Bracknell, England

    @laaqpr @virginmedia The new one is. “It’s all gone through” Then never receive an email and still paid what you are paying with the “system” saying I never called

  • kyle2tweet kyle2tweet (@kyle2tweet) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia looks like I’ll have to cancel my direct debit coming out next month maybe that will get this call back I’ve been promised. Terrible terrible company!

  • danarnie Danny Daly-Arnett (@danarnie) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I ring and get hung up on after being on hold for 6 minutes. I just want what I was offered on Friday. I am not very happy with the customer service I am receiving at the moment and will just walk away. I have been a customer for 10 years and get no perks just bigger bills

  • 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.

  • Noice113 Noice1 (@Noice113) reported from Finchampstead, England

    @virginmedia I am trying to cancel and on three occasions have asked for help my bills have gone up by 45% no explanation shame on you

  • dionne_angus Dionne Angus (@dionne_angus) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia how do I cancel my contract with you. My broadband is constantly going down and for the price I pay your services are not worth it especially as i am on limited money. So I am looking at going to sky thank you

  • SusanAteh Susan Ateh (@SusanAteh) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been ignored since June having terribly service only a last week was a technician ordered and it’s taking a week. I was falsely brought into another contract and internet got worse. Management said they will listen to the call and have not!

  • Libby25N Libby N (@Libby25N) reported

    @virginmedia I called Virgin straight back and cancelled my deal with the Sim and got one without but now I keep getting told by Virgin that I have to cancel the 02 Contract that you set up. I have tried calling @02 4 times to cancel the Sim and 18 month-contract and it is still not cancelled

  • MarkMit24823340 Mark Silver (@MarkMit24823340) reported

    @merluscaalex @virginmedia @instant_help22 Thank you, Gloria. Cancelling direct debit now. Disgusting treatment by their customer service.

  • virginhelp Virgin Help (@virginhelp) reported

    @Lucy270268 Hi Lucy. We're sorry to hear of your internet issues. We've tagged @virginmedia here so that they can help. Thanks, VH.

  • Libby25N Libby N (@Libby25N) reported

    @virginmedia I am totally stuck. Virgin set up the contract which I never wanted and are now telling me I have to cancel the @02 Contract but I have tried contacting O2 4 times to confirm cancellation and each time it is not cancelled.

  • TalkTalk TalkTalk (@TalkTalk) reported

    @Manchesterguy15 We’d like to apologise for the inconvenience and advise you that Virgin Media engineers are on site working to restore service as a priority. We currently do not have any timeframe but would like to ask you to check with us within 24-48 hours. - Ian

  • RoxyWard Roxy Ward (@RoxyWard) reported

    @virginmedia I will not be dragging a useless box with me to a new address, that is insane. Just send the box to the current address. What is wrong with this company? I have requested this and been told fine, but they need a new address anyway in order to cancel or they cannot. Is it a joke?

  • Amit91987 A.P (@Amit91987) reported

    @virginmedia I used Yodel / Collect Plus as per your returns label you provided. I have tried to call them, but never can get through. Thanks

  • GaynorAtkinson2 Gaynor Atkinson (@GaynorAtkinson2) reported

    @virginmedia CANNOT GET ON, what other alternative do you have, we are all out of patience now, 17 messages since 31st of December and no resolution

  • MarkMit24823340 Mark Silver (@MarkMit24823340) reported

    @virginmedia @NatGeoUK Why as a customer of 20 years am I paying £67 a month for 260mb whilst you're advertising 1gb for £45???????
