    @virginmedia nothing but issues. 2G & 5G always stops working. Updates happens when ever it feels like. And every time I contact Virgin, it's like talking to a 6 year old.

    @Dianemiddleto @tankhead666 @virginmedia Thanks. I got the text hours after talking to Virgin Media on the phone to activate my hub after a house move. Never had it before. Something not right in their call centres.

  • karl_holden Karl Holden (@karl_holden) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia the service is deteriorating. Time to review your performance and reveal the source of your problems before your customer base starts to become even more disenchanted.

  • DebzGlover Debz Glover😜 (@DebzGlover) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Hi, no service issues in my area according to your website

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Faulty equipment, price rise and awful customer service.

  • NormanStiff Namron #FBPE (@NormanStiff) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia HI, your on-demand service is not really on- demand, I tried to watch Sundays Line of Duty today it is not on demand unless I pay another service, why is this.

  • LAURABELLE72 Laura Elliott (@LAURABELLE72) reported from Thundersley, England

    Have some sense @virginmedia if your mobile phone systems are having issues why wait until the caller has been on hold for over 15 minutes to play the recorded message that says there's nothing you can do about it #********* #CustomerService

  • nickihendrix4 nickihendrix (@nickihendrix4) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia what the actual **** is wrong with you people if it was phone bill you guys would have deducted all long time ago but y’all don’t want me to make calls and y’all decided not to warn us either. I swear to God I’m not paying my bill this month periodt

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia No advice, no contact = appalling service. This is the problem!

  • claire_m_willia Claire Williams (@claire_m_willia) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is an absolute joke won't ever be using you again . Worst customer service ever !!!!!!!!!

  • KudaLudaLegend1 Kuda Madzikanda (@KudaLudaLegend1) reported from Gravesend, England

    Seriously getting towards 24hr broadband outage..Can someone tell me if I can cancel my contract as technically @virginmedia have not met their contractual obligation🤔

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia I’ve going through this process since 20th March! I’m unable to talk on the phone easily due to a brain injury. I’m still waiting for a response from the resolution team!!

  • marcsnappy Marc Corn (@marcsnappy) reported from Basildon, England

    Hey @virginmedia you better offer me a better deal tomorrow or else I will be leaving. New customers are always treated better than existing. I know from experience with you guys that this never changes.

  • MalcolmLouth Mac (@MalcolmLouth) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia My approach is simply to contact my service provider who I pay a lot of money to and ask them to sort it. That hasn’t worked.

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia 2nd complaint made via your website as still no contact from the resolution team!

  • Amgsligo Anne (@Amgsligo) reported

    @virginmedia @jojolafoy Any idea when this problem will be fixed? I’m had the same issue since yesterday and deleted apps:reinstalled and tried via O2 all without any success.

  • Amgsligo Anne (@Amgsligo) reported

    @virginmedia Which website Virgin or O2. I am a Virgin customer and don’t have an O2 account.

  • lyonkent Lyon Kent (@lyonkent) reported

    Hi @virginmedia , I can’t seem to log in to priority via Virgin media either by the app or online? Any help/advice?

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported

    @virginmedia This should apply to everyone on Volt, it's hundreds of pounds a year you're making on this per customer. You're effectively punishing your highest paying customers. The other benefits aren't relevant to us. As I say, I'm so very tired of arguing and don't have the time to call.

  • Coffee_n_dreams Ashleigh✨🌜 (@Coffee_n_dreams) reported

    @o2 @virginmedia I have been trying since last night to sign into O2 Priority to be ready for Peter Kay tix sale this morning. The sign in page just isn’t working at all! Looks like I’m not the only one with this issue.

  • Searchlife Russ Cohn (@Searchlife) reported

    @virginmedia So £8.40 per day x total days you take to fix it?

  • flem1968 christian Fleming (@flem1968) reported

    @virginmedia are there issue in the PR2 area AGAIN!

  • TB2552552550 T Buckley (@TB2552552550) reported

    @virginmedia No still not working. I am looking to log on to pay my bill. Once I enter my email and password the red sign in button goes dark.

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported

    @virginmedia What I don't understand is that when Volt launched, everyone got moved up to the next tier of broadband, but those on #Gig1 got NOTHING. Surely just dropping the cost of all those on both O2 and VM Gig1 to the next tier down would have been simple.

  • TB2552552550 T Buckley (@TB2552552550) reported

    @virginmedia Is there an issue with your website. I am trying to log in but not successful the sign in button is not highlighted.
