    @virginmedia Thanks. Engineer showed up, plugged in a new Hub 3, “fixed” my BB & WiFi and, 3 hours later, it’s still not working. Can I 1) file a complaint and 2) get a guarantee that this will be fixed for once and for all.

    @virginmedia We are sorry you are still waiting to be connected to one of the team. Our wait times are very high at the moment due to an unprecedented demand to speak to the team & we are experiencing some issues with our internal systems. This may mean a delay in being transferred to one of

    @virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

    So @virginmedia is down again, and their 4G backup dongle has failed to take over AGAIN. In fact, it has never once failed over to 4G in any of the outages we’ve ever had. Why am I paying for this? 😡

    @virginmedia It’s more about how this can’t be dealt with online and spending a busy day trying to get to talk with someone who actually can help. #Disgraceful #expectedthis

    @virginmedia - complaint, your team refuse to honour an offer emailed on 25 Aug 26 - new contract offer # 100472086139 - area 24. Not impressed.

    @VirginMediaNews Note to Virgin Media : stop platforming that religious zealot and fantasist - even at the opportunity cost re: a young journalist's tv screen time & professional exposure. He's on his way back to prison when another warrant comes down from the bench, in coming days and weeks.

    Just spent best part of day trying to sort out issues with @British_Airways & @virginmedia Both seem to be competing for ‘Worst Customer Service’ award although BA winning because I’m at least speaking more or less real time with a human at VM, albeit making little progress!

    @MelJanie @virginmedia I’ve never had a problem that’s not been sorted quickly and conveniently.

    Paul O'Brien (@PaulOBrienKil) reported

    @virginmedia @MizzCQ I strongly urge anyone thinking of subscribing to @virginmedia to NOT do it. Took over a hour to get through to customer service & they still won't fix their mistake. Shambles of an organisation.

    @cdavo25 @virginmedia I had Stream Box and Broadband set up yesterday. Neither working today, tried Cust Serv’s on hold over 45 mins and still no answer! These people are as garbage as their services, spend your money elsewhere. I’m going back to @SkyUK 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
