    Day 42 of no service from @virginmedia. Engineer meant to be coming again today, think I’ve more chance of a unicorn showing up to be fair. 🦄

    @virginmedia I also play Destiny 2. I thought it may have been their servers but my boyfriend doesn't have the issue.

    @virginmedia Too many service drops. Engineer has been to properly to fix but this persists.

    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia There's no point raising a complaint is there, as you won't comprnsate? Other reputable oroviders offer a back-up 4 or 5g device to kick in if their main broadband goes down, to keep the service running. Not VM though - it's just all really poor customer service innit?

    Please sort this out. You charge enough, surely we are entitled to a service that actually works??@virginmedia #virginmedia

    @virginmedia Trying to make a complaint - signed up to a deal I clearly asked not to be. Your website doesn’t work and can’t get through on the phone. Can someone please dm me with a way to speak to someone urgently

    Capitã Nat (@NatashaVic) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Can I speak to a human, please? It’s impossible to speak to anyone here. I paid for my bill via bank transfer more than a week ago and it hasn’t been registered. Phone service is not recognising my password and I can’t find a live chat.

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Nobody can help me, they just keep asking for patience. They’ve had since august to fix it. It’s unacceptable.

  • timmycooke
    Tim Cooke 🇺🇦 (@timmycooke) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Both wired and wireless. We've had 8 engineers out, a rewire, new hub and still endless drop outs. Was told finally it was an upload issue from the amp that supplied the box on the street. But still we're having issues. The 150 number is joke, make it simple!!!

  • alandean1878
    Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Everything struggles to stay connected to the Internet. Mobiles, laptops, the TV's. I'm not sure if the speed is an issue as I haven't checked it. (I'm not sure how to.)

  • davetarl
    Dave Tarleton 💙 (@davetarl) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract as it is at the end. Twice now I have been kicked off the chat whilst waiting. This is unacceptable. I can't ring at present so the chat is ideal to run in the background. I just want to press a button that says end the contract!

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia I'm not sure this is the 3rd box. It's the one with the router in same room. Re advice remotely got message saying problem could not be solved.

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @VirginMedia Received message. Now not accepting my email address. I have one only. My problem is with the remote control which is activated by pressing 2 buttons when they light up. Have had nothing but trouble with one remote for one TV. Your communication us not helpful.

    @virginmedia how am I supposed to run an online tutoring business from home when your system goes down twice in a day ? #payingmorebutgettingless

    @virginmedia I have a booster. It was sent to me last Spring because of previous problems with TV in this room.

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

    Well, the customer service from @virginmedia these days is really quite remarkable. And that's not a compliment. Here's a thread... Informed them that I'm moving house, and they get it booked for Friday 3rd April. All good...

    @misselledee @virginmedia Despite the content of your message, they answer you like this is the first contact. I’ve been with them from day one because I always seem to get a good deal. But god help you if you need customer services. In my experience, they tie with Vodafone as the worst in the world.

    @virginmedia why is it so hard to speak to anyone. Received a new hub on Saturday, I've received an email to say old one stops working after 5 days!!! I can't get it fitted that quickly. Please help

    @virginmedia please train your staff to do their job and not waste two hours of my time messaging three agents only for them not to resolve an issue. I just want to cancel, it's that simple.

    @virginmedia not impressed with customer service! As a loyal customer for over 5 years I was looking to upgrade to the sports package with Netflix and WiFi. I was refused the £52.99 deal as that is “only for new customers”. I was told I would need to pay £130 for the same deal!
