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

  • 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.

  • AlistairNCox Al (@AlistairNCox) reported from Crowmarsh Gifford, England

    @virginmedia do you know how much longer the internet will be down in OX10 8 ??

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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 👍

    @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.

  • 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.”

  • 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!

  • 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!

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

  • Tokoloshy Tokoloshy (@Tokoloshy) reported

    I need to give a HUGE shout out to @VirginMedia. Had a fault with broadband and from reporting the fault to fixing it was 48 hours. And the engineer extremely knowledgeable and polite. I have been 3 years with Virgin and the service simply astounding. Well done @virginmedia

  • Amrutha23279193 Amrutha (@Amrutha23279193) reported

    @virginmedia I dint mention when I was moving, there was some miscommunication and the operator whoever spoke to mentioned it as 30th, I just called the customer team and they mentioned this. How can such things happen, and they mentioned for reconnection it would take 3 days.

  • gary_caswell Gary caswell (@gary_caswell) reported

    @virginmedia Yes it says there is a problem but this has been going on for a week, does it take a week to fix a problem ?

  • alexlock29 Alex Lock (@alexlock29) reported

    @virginmedia Please can you send me the link to your Web Chat service? I've followed the guides, nothing, logged two complaints just to try to speak to a human - and got an automated reply. I just need my verification e-mail sent to my e-mail account - I can't access anything.

  • swilsonnews Steven Wilson (@swilsonnews) reported

    Hello, @virginmedia . Can you please explain why we pay you so much money for such an abysmal service? Why is your Internet provision (and I use that word generously) interrupted so frequently? Why do you do nothing to improve it? Guess I'll be looking for a new provider soon.

  • KilbeyRob Rob Kilbey (@KilbeyRob) reported

    @virginmedia Service checker page is not said all ok whereas automated 150 message says issues.

  • loobyloo1980 Lucy H (@loobyloo1980) reported

    @virginmedia why do I have to threaten to cancel my account 3 or 4 times before I get offered the deal that is advertised online?! I know which deal I want and how much it is yet I’ve been on online chat since about 9am this morning trying to get this deal offered to me!

  • olliehowe Ollie Howe (@olliehowe) reported

    @virginmedia The connection with my iPhone is rubbish and has been since Virgin was installed at my house 7 months ago. The only advice I ever get is ‘try rebooting your hub’, which I’ve done repeatedly and is something I never once had to do with Sky in 20 years of being with them.

  • mike23002258 mike (@mike23002258) reported

    @virginmedia So the technician that was confirmed in a text that was coming today was automatically cancelled with no notification to me. Just called again and now been told I will get a technician on bank holiday Thursday - so a week without service and my weekend ruined - nice one

  • mattcseries3 Mattcseries3 (@mattcseries3) reported

    @Ange_Sandgrown @virginmedia Maybe you should keep an eye on this twitter, then you will@really see how bad a company they are
