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

    The @virginmedia amazing service continues, pay £13.99 for a film that you cannot watch due to technical error 🙄 look online, seems common & responses unhelpful, hurry up @SkyUK & get faster broadband here so I can switch!

  • Katyebh Katy Hamilton (@Katyebh) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Exactly - hands washed of the issue. I don’t need an update, you’ve told me it’s done. It isn’t.

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Rochdale Cowboy (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @UxbridgeLord @marxistniklas @Jim27371416 @DansTweeterings @jeremycorbyn @virginmedia There'll be nothing stopping you from buying it in the future. Not sure what your issue is with a policy that gives other people something you don't want, and which doesn't cost you anything.

  • 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...

  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia Not impressed, area service is restored but my service is still down. Engineer booked for Tuesday - do you really call this service!!!! I seem to have ongoing issues with Virgin Media - seriously considering changing my provider.

  • markblunden MarkBlunden (@markblunden) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia you’re broadband has gone from great to very unreliable. It seems to drop out regularly now. Paying a lot for your service sort it out!!

  • debi_feltimo Debi Brown (@debi_feltimo) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Cannot access my account online, forgotten my security question so cannot call, it’s my elderly dads account I set up for him. He moved today,none of your staff will help me as I don’t have the answer. He has now moved, has no contact to outside world, please help!

  • woodsa164 Alex George (@woodsa164) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Not great, it never is really.

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

    @virginmedia Service outage AGAIN, this is now starting to become ridiculous... when will I start getting a reliable service!!!! This is not what I pay for @virginmedia

  • debi_feltimo Debi Brown (@debi_feltimo) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Transfer, he moved today so is really panicking that he cannot contact anyone. I can’t even check if the service will be available in his new home

  • basicbloke2012 Basic Bloke (@basicbloke2012) reported from Yateley, England

    @virginmedia I did this last week and again twice this week All says there is an issue and I need to talk to someone

  • 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

  • chriswoods84 Woodsy (@chriswoods84) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia I've done all that. It's been intermittent all day. I've reset. I've turned on and off. I've sat on hold. It's a ridiculous service

  • Katyebh Katy Hamilton (@Katyebh) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I made a GDPR complaint to you at the time of writing that tweet it was acknowledged, my preferences were updated (apparently) and yet I STILL get calls. Not a word of an apology in that letter though. Didn’t think anything would tempt me back to Sky..

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

    @virginmedia It was a terrible experience. 3 different people over a period of 1 hour 20 minutes. I had to explain the situation 3 times. You need to review your Customer Services approach as today it appears broken.

  • chriswoods84 Woodsy (@chriswoods84) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia only had internet installed last week. For about the 15th time it's dropped out. Fed up of sitting on phone on hold. Service update page says all ok. Clearly isn't

  • tw1tterlawsey Martin law (@tw1tterlawsey) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia , have been a customer for many years, my recent experience of your customer service was appalling and no empathy shown or value for my custom. I said your service makes want to leave, I was told that’s my choice, so leaving

  • tw1tterlawsey Martin law (@tw1tterlawsey) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Was not anticipating having to leave when i called in, was unhappy you increased my monthly charge and had not been advised. Was told you could do this and there was nothing you could do to rectify the overcharge. Been a loyal customer for 8 years and got treated this way

  • 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

  • MrBez1 Lee B (@MrBez1) reported

    @derrickca @virginmedia What hub are you using? We or more so he chose to upgrade to hub 2 bc security issues with hub 1 and it’s vile wifi drop outs. He bought a BT wifi booster and extender which plugs directly into the *** internet is now so fast and hasn’t dropped out dm me

  • MarketHarbster Market Harbster (@MarketHarbster) reported

    @RJBrandDesign @virginmedia Long time customer. Very long time. In fact I go back to the Cable & Wireless days. Pre NTL!! 😡

  • JasonLTFC Jason (@JasonLTFC) reported

    Again my internet drops out @virginmedia This is so frequent and whenever I run online tests, it’s says here are no issues. Which is clearly false!! Is there any chance you will actually address this issue?

  • MowmereJunction Mowmere Junction (@MowmereJunction) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t remember my password or username. Try to go to reset and I keep getting oops this page is broken

  • Zeragonii Josh Watson (@Zeragonii) reported

    @HyperopticCS I've got nowhere near enough interest in my area, plus it's just a housing estate too so not really your target demographic yet 😭 I'm just getting sick of my awful upload speeds from @virginmedia

  • woodall_alison Alison Woodall (@woodall_alison) reported

    @virginmedia you've sent a bill because i didn't return your kit. You never sent the promised packaging/guidance.

  • ronniepatel1988 Ronnie Patel (@ronniepatel1988) reported

    @virginmedia Its a significant increase. BT offer a much more cheaper TV/BB package tbh. I have seen no change in the current service as I had in 2016 - in fact I have the same router and VM box. Its simply not good enough

  • DearWhippett DearWhippett (@DearWhippett) reported

    Virgin Media have a terrible name. Cos they ******* like a ********** down soho market so often im surprised they ain't turned me into the next pregnant man. 😤 #pissed #bigmad

  • Homermckinley John Mckinley (@Homermckinley) reported

    @virginmedia gonna presume the mobile network is changing to Vodafone, I see 4g browsing speeds are down and I've very little signal in or outside my home, same as my work vodafone. Can I leave my contract due to this change and join EE?
