  • BobBeveridge1 Bob Beveridge (@BobBeveridge1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have explained all this before. Is there any point? My recent issue was with the pathetic final letter, now combined with the fact that your system is so poor you know nothing about this. Totally poor customer experience.

  • 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.

  • 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.”

  • StuRobsonFrisby Stuart Robson-Frisby (Ivanti) (@StuRobsonFrisby) reported from Yateley, England

    @virginmedia No broadband in GU46 7RR... is this part of the outage as have seen others in the area with issues but your website says no issues reported?

  • timmorgan Tim Morgan (@timmorgan) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia what's the best department to get My Virgin Media support? I am a customer and it won't let me register an account using my email address although my bill is sent to the same email.

  • dan_brooke Dan Brooke (@dan_brooke) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia had reached a new level of incompetence in terms of customer ‘service’. 2 months since signed up and still not installed with multiple last minute ***** ups... 🙄

  • 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?

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

    @virginmedia hi, I am trying to access my router settings page but it isn't loading. Any idea what the issue is??

  • JulianHull Julian Hull (@JulianHull) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia what’s happened to our internet?? I’m in GU14 trying to work from home. The last 2 weeks we’ve either had no internet or very very slow. Ran speed checks, used to be over 100, now it’s mostly around 6-15 and we are paying for 100

  • 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.

  • jayp171 jayesh Patel (@jayp171) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia is there a problem with WiFi in the Maidenhead area?

  • 5aman1_m Munindra Samani (@5aman1_m) reported from Wokingham, England

    Yet again issues with virgin broadband. On the phone for over 25 mins - ridiculous #virginmedia #connectivity

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

    @virginmedia stop calling me and try to sell me something i already have with you. I think your trying too hard. I already have the full package for tv that i don't use, highest available Broadband. never use the landline and 4 Sim accounts. and still. You want to zell me more!

  • 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!

  • 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

  • jayp171 jayesh Patel (@jayp171) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia is there a problem in the Maidenhead area?

  • MaxwellPerris Maxwell Perris (@MaxwellPerris) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia That you don't have enough staff to meet customer demand, apparently you don't have a complaints team and a £20 credit should solve all our problems. We never had this issue when we were with @SkyBroadband

    @virginmedia can you tell me who I need to escalate the issue I have regarding my data being breached again for the second time in around 18 months I have spoken to customer services who have confirmed you are aware and investigating?????

  • brucerisk bruce findlay 🟢#TestTraceIsolate ✌ (@brucerisk) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

  • clydetombaugh Gene “Bean” Baxter 🇬🇧 (@clydetombaugh) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia I got a text this morning the cable pull date has been moved BACKWARD another week to 13.11. This is beyond unacceptable. Who can I talk to? Please help. My install appointment was on 23.10.

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

    @virginmedia My WIFI is unbearable and affects my day of online meetings. I’ve done the usual troubleshooting and have your app too. Calling your support is useless and I can’t get through to a human. What do I need to do to resolve my issues? Message your CEO?

  • RaivisOlehno Raivis Olehno (@RaivisOlehno) reported from Middleton, England

    Really bad customer service from @virginmedia . Was told that manager will call me within 1 hour. As expected, nobody called. Overcharged me and refusing to refund.
