    @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.

  • djmessyxjessy Jessica Boshier (@djmessyxjessy) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia why do you keep hanging up on your help line thatwere on hold for, for 30 minutes a time. Answer and help

  • 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

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

    Had the worst internet day ever. Never use Utility Warehouse or whoever own the line around here which is @virginmedia

  • 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 👍

  • 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!

  • 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.”

  • 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

  • fostersbarbie Ang Gray (@fostersbarbie) reported from Wokingham, England

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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?

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

    @virginmedia Listen. If over 20 people are saying that in the CB4 area of Cambridge there is no internet, then surely, surely, there is a problem. This is not rocket science. I know it’s not your job to fix it, but it’s your job to get an engineer out to fix it.

  • Mustafa_x Mustafa Kurtuldu (@Mustafa_x) reported

    @virginmedia ive been on the phone for the last two hours, I want to cancel my service, if someone doesn't get back in touch ill just cancel the direct debit.

  • millen_alison Alison Millen (@millen_alison) reported

    @virginmedia @spomfrett Can't get through held on for an hour got through to someone said they can't help. They pass me on to someone else I was told won't be on hold as held on for 45mins as its agent to agent total lie I was put in hold for a long time and got nobody.

  • spomfrett Stuart Pomfrett (@spomfrett) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. I think it's more pertinent to speak to your actual customer (i.e. my in laws) directly when you said you would rather than have me help. Perhaps you could arrange this?

  • franlittle fran little (@franlittle) reported

    @MartinSLewis help, help, help @virginmedia are not answering customer service calls to any of the population. Very concerning as they have put there prices up !!!!!!!

  • ElaineCurrie6 Elaine Currie (@ElaineCurrie6) reported

    @virginmedia I posted on the VM forum as directed in your previous message. Suggest you read my message setting out the issues.

  • estateagentmum Wendy Morris (@estateagentmum) reported

    @virginmedia been trying to get through all day today and you just disconnect calls. Have now got into your phone system and have been listening to some awful music for 37 mins so far.... will my call actually get answered?????????????? perhaps I will just call @sky

  • sarahthompson90 sarah thompson (@sarahthompson90) reported

    @virginmedia Guess what I have to sign in to access what you’ve suggested but that’s the whole point virgin media won’t let me ?!

  • ilkleymum Ilkley mum (@ilkleymum) reported

    @virginmedia waiting 45 mins for call centre. Finally get a ring tone and you then cut me off! Arrrghhhhhhhhh! So poor!

  • jrbriggs82 briggsy (@jrbriggs82) reported

    @virginmedia another hour on hold for someone to hang up without saying a word. What an absolute shambles of a service. I don't even know if the first or second person I spoke to today has actually done anything. No other way to cancel the service either. Shocking 🤬
