    @virginmedia Hi there. Never got my 5 GB SIM card as stated in my contract. Been waiting for over a month and never got it! Impossible to get through customer services to speak to a human...

    @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.”

    Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia 1hour waiting the first time and disconnected. This is the second time, still on the phone and waiting 55min. It is pretty much the whole day wasted trying to talk to customer services. Can you please help?

    Al (@AlistairNCox) reported from Crowmarsh Gifford, England

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

  • HollySquirrel
    Kim Marie Pike (@HollySquirrel) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia My husband has been unable to contact anyone at customer service. It seems our router has an intermittent fault. Please advise ASAP. My husband is a key worker (electricity generation), having a stable internet connection, is essential. 2/2

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

  • 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

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

  • 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.

    @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?

    @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!

    @virginmedia Down again yesterday and again today. Any known issues in B75? Not feeling we are getting a good service at the moment, and working from home is proving very difficult.

  • harukababette
    Helen Cube (@harukababette) reported

    @virginmedia The complaint I have raised is about how difficult it is to get help from @virginmedia with an issue for a service that customers pay for so there is a certain irony in this reply. I appreciate you reading my message and replying, thank you.

  • W_A_S_1_M
    Wasim (@W_A_S_1_M) reported

    @virginmedia Well it's back on now obviously but this is my notice that I want my service cancelled & will be moving to a different provider. Too expensive & not the best customer service.

  • JMC_17

    @virginmedia your customer service is the most of any company I have ever dealt with. treat customer's like idiots. #virginconmerchants @richardbranson

    Mcginty (@mcginty46) reported

    @virginmedia Customer services said there was no engineer booked out?..my wife has the confirmation txt on her phone..it also says if we fail to show for the appointment we get charged £25...so can i expect the same to apply to your lot..also my lost day at work needs paying for?????..

  • zil75
    Liz Cannings (@zil75) reported

    @virginmedia For the one film I purchased Elvis ... also discovered one I had bought ages ago and hadn't watched yet also doesn't have it as she got me to check ..I've also googled it and it says the tivo box and store don't support subtitles.

  • TomClarkus
    Tom Clarke (@TomClarkus) reported

    @virginmedia the last three afternoons our v3 box has gone down, failing to get broadband signal and flashing green. Nothing I do helps but it seems to have randomly started up again late evening - is it the heat? How do I contact tech help?

  • mcginty46
    Mcginty (@mcginty46) reported

    @virginmedia Literally that there was no faults found and that they wont be sending an engineer out to rectify the problems unless we want to pay £200+...basically just get on with it...ridiculous...asked about cancelling but you want more money for that...joke..

  • _sharina___s
    Sharina (@_sharina___s) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve done that. It doesn’t work. Someone clearly has control on my router. Your customer services won’t reset it either. Again the conversation is recorded. I need this sorting asap otherwise I’ll take it further

  • Henna_H2
    Henna Hamid (@Henna_H2) reported

    @virginmedia Nearly 2 months after signing up, I still have no internet. Every time I call to get an reason or a new appointment I am given false promises and a new date. Then it gets cancelled the day before..again! Worst customer service ever !!!
