Mark Round (@Fingers247) reported from Bristol, England@virginhelp @virginmedia I need some way to resolve this, and can’t be the only one stuck in this situation. I can provide birth certificates, passports, etc, etc. Your support staff want 3 letters of a password nobody knows.

Tina Badley (@tinabadley) reported from Bristol, England@BookDreamerSal @virginmedia Having the same problem. Just called Virgin - it seems many people are too. They're trying to sort it.

Neil Cairns (@neilcairns) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia @EGX virginmedia where can I email to complain? My VirginMedia Box won’t let me delete a number of things and my Internet is patchy at best! £83 a month for this ****? Every time you call you people you’re on hold or cut off!

Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Bristol, EnglandHi @virginmedia I want to cancel my account. Still waiting to speak to someone after > 1 hour. Advice please?
-
Miles (@Milesenberg) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia my mum's landline is down and she's found your customer service that she's tried to call on mobile completely unhelpful. She needs an engineer to go to her house to fix it.
-
Daniel Fry (@DanielFry23) reported from Filton, England@bt_uk No need to Matt, appreciate your concerns I’m just saying your service currently is the same level as virgin media who I’m with which always cuts in and hot. Too many users using the overcrowded boxes
-
Chloe (@chloehester) reported from Bristol, EnglandWhy does @virginmedia online chat never work?! Its a nightmare trying to get through on the phone 😭 I just need to change my package ffs.
-
Steve Mowat (@SteveMowat4) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England@virginmedia Both those lights should be green. Any red lights mean there is a network fault either on a cable or on the box to which the cable screws into. Now please tell me, what is so difficult to send someone out to investigate that??
-
Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported from Cwmbran Central, WalesBeen with @virginmedia back as far as old NTL days. Downgrade our package for the first time ever to keep costs down, and the Internet must have crashed at least 8 times today, the day after we changed. Absolutely useless, on the phone tomorrow to cancel this **** completely.
-
Sam 🏴☠️ (@BRFCSamuel) reported from Kingswood, England.@virginmedia telling us to sit and wait for 24 hours without internet just incase our Wi-Fi starts working again before they’ll actually do anything, great customer service… not 👍🏻
-
Sam Sims (@mantha_1976) reported from Newport, Waleshey @virginmedia I have a contract that says my price is set to Jan 2023 and I negotiated the deal with customer retention as not the account holder bit authorised to talk on behalf of the account holder and now I've got customer services flat out lying toe on WhatsApp (1)

Steve Mowat (@SteveMowat4) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England@bristolbluegas @virginmedia @HiveHelper If someone could own a problem it would help. The engineer that came out today said, I just install hubs mate, I’m not authorised to lift man hole covers. Virgin told me yesterday this would be their “priority technician” that could fix everything. What a joke

Derby Pascal (@derbypascal) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia The service checker just says its down but doesn't tell me what's going on.
-
David Lloyd (@dave_backwell) reported from Backwell, EnglandShe tried to complain, but got nowhere. This month her contract expired, so she tried again. Yesterday she spoke to a customer service guy @virginmedia who was very surprised at what she had been told back in July. He told her to contact the house moving dept, who'd refund her

Angel Eyes #FBPE 🇪🇺🏳️🌈🏳️⚧ (@DollyDeluxe) reported from Patchway, England@NadineDorries @virginmedia @O2 And that is why you are known as the most stupid MP ever
-
Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England@virginmedia Quite the worst customer contact centre ever. Website does not offer phone or email contact. Only way to get web chat is to go to complaints page. 1 hour to get a 1 minute task done. Deliberately cut off twice. #poorservice

† 𝕭𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖉𝖔𝖓 𝕽𝖞𝖆𝖓 𝕭𝖊𝖆𝖚𝖒𝖔𝖓𝖙 † (@Polythane) reported@VeltisLeEvil @Thatisdiffi You wait, I guess. But with Virgin Media, my internet very rarely goes down, and if it does, I can just go outside and do something else, like go watch some movies. It's never usually out for more than 3 hours
