    @virginmedia the worst company for broadband @richardbranson and your name is attached to it. @Offcom please investigate the shambles off an outfit

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

    @virginmedia There are no faults in my area. The issue is likely to be with the router as the 2.4ghz works consistently on other devices.

  • roxcreeve Roxc Reeve (@roxcreeve) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    The way my mum has been treated by virgin media this week is disgusting as a paying customer she’s been in tears and they’ve violated there terms and conditions @richardbranson your staff should be ashamed of themselves

  • TomRoss_ Tom Ross (@TomRoss_) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Yes there are issues showing. But this is direct through the TiVo box not the app.

  • LeePatmore Lee Patmore (@LeePatmore) reported from Basildon, England

    It’s a shame @Virgin only look after new customers & punish old customers. One less customer because of New Cystomer deals not available to look after current ones #ShameOnYou #Virgin #Virginmedia

  • Turkey123mcfcok SK (@Turkey123mcfcok) reported

    @virginmedia I am clearly wasting my time here. I will ring up, hang on the line for an hour, talk to someone who will pass me onto someone else, then to someone else, then whilst waiting for an answer, the phone will go dead. Cheers. Enjoy your night mate

  • MerfShnaps Merve Shnaps (@MerfShnaps) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia no interim solution is being offered in the meantime btw. Dongle for instance? Would be good while we wait for your sub-contractors to show up. Also, people work from home these days. Speaking of inconvenience!

  • Graciious_K Gire (@Graciious_K) reported

    @virginmedia Installation and pre installations. None of them were willing for me to log a complaint

  • Brittan66783252 Brittany Howard (@Brittan66783252) reported

    @virginmedia Clearly hasn't and so now looks like I have to make another phone call ref 1. The wrong amount on the bill for about the 100th time and now about an activation fee we should never of renewed our contract with yourself as we are now stuck with this terrible service for another 18m

  • richjhayes Richard Hayes (@richjhayes) reported

    @virginmedia It will not login. Says to reset password. Reluctant to rest password as I can see no reason too.

  • cxfredwilko Fred Wilkinson (@cxfredwilko) reported

    @virginmedia live chat is total crap! Robot gets you to answer security and then says transferring you to an agent and after 39 mins of waiting for an agent! Zero response. Netflix App not working!! Help #poorservice

  • itsnikkigale Nicola - Read my blog! (@itsnikkigale) reported

    Is anyone else experiencing a really ****** internet connection on a daily basis with Virgin Media? Our broadband is going down at least four times a day at the moment!

  • NeilAll07090237 Neil Allen (@NeilAll07090237) reported

    @virginmedia That's who I called yesterday, as I said, a recorded message told me they would send a signal to the box. The box reset and then....the speed was exactly the same as before. It feels like I am going round in circles here. I ask that you send out an engineer to correct this ASAP.

  • MHPStudios Mark Hughes (@MHPStudios) reported

    @virginmedia 1/2 You’ve got to be kidding me The link is where I’ve been trying to contact you! I’m currently writing to your complaints department. I will never use Virgin media again for ANY of your services, but it’s funny how you can answer social media but not the phone.

  • ryoeechi Ryoichi (@ryoeechi) reported

    @virginmedia being on hold for an hour then getting disconnected without speaking to anyone while having to listen to your **** hold music, after not being able to use my service for the past 8 months is exactly the reason I'm calling to cancel. Awful service
