    babyduck (@babyduck999) reported from Christchurch, England

    @virginmedia Ok, I'm an existing customer with an XL package + 2 TiVo boxes. I would like to know how much a second identical package would cost me at another property running both alongside each other. Hoping for a good deal

    Rachelle Lawley (@RachelleLawley) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia Already said I had downloaded it. When I try and look when it has issues it says it is offline and it is next to the TV and not behind it or anything else.

    Lee Stacey (Pilchard) (@LStacey) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia I think you have misunderstood my intent. I am telling you that your user experience is poor. I’m not reporting a disruption in the service, I am criticising it. Also, I am a customer, not a beta tester.

  • elayne100360
    Elayne (@elayne100360) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia Yes, won't respond here any more as you can't help either. At a loss

  • elayne100360
    Elayne (@elayne100360) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia They agree then get transferred to accounts & billing and left on hold each time 30mins without anyone speaking. Have to put phone down obviously. 3rd time I have explained this here also. No one does anything @richardbranson

  • elayne100360
    Elayne (@elayne100360) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia @richardbranson after 2 wks still unable to reach accs & billing re overcharging. Still left on hold everytime over 30mins. Been 7 days since official complaint & no contact from anyone either. Unacceptable so cancelling DD. #fedup #poorcustomerservice #disappointed

    Mrs_S (@cammie_and_me) reported from Bournemouth, England

    26 years @virginmedia I have been dealing with my husbands account but now you have increased our DD by £10 per month without warning you will not talk to me. And the woman on the other end of the phone does not care!!! #cancel

    Ecto 🇬🇧 (@Ecto_Husky) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia Every single day this week I have lost internet connectivity with problems reported in my area! As a new customer if this is a sign of things to look foward to then I think I'll switch back, getting pissed off now to be honest

  • elayne100360
    Elayne (@elayne100360) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia You asked me to let you know if contact had been made. Spent most of Monday tweeting problem to you so not going to repeat & waste my evening.

  • elayne100360
    Elayne (@elayne100360) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia Media, but primarily accounts and billing, now been 2 days and not a word since you promised me contact. You did this here via Twitter. I have made official complaint.

  • RachelleLawley
    Rachelle Lawley (@RachelleLawley) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia No and there never seems to be anything on the service status either. Always says its fine I also have the connect app which is when it states its turned off when it's clearly on.

  • elayne100360
    Elayne (@elayne100360) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia We can never get through or get cut off continually hence visit to shop in desperation. We both work during day. Also phone agents have no clue what to do about it or give wrong info or transfer then line goes dead. It is complete nightmare.

  • RachelleLawley
    Rachelle Lawley (@RachelleLawley) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia we have had Internet and TV trouble for weeks and now it's currently hours at a time. Yes least now it's acknowledging there is an issue in area but nothing seems to be a perm fix. Because it's only hours we are not compensated and yet I'm using my data up too.

  • elayne100360
    Elayne (@elayne100360) reported from Bournemouth, England

    Just want to apologise for current Virgin rants to work colleagues but we have been totally mislead & now can't get anyone to fix it. Wrong info given by staff on phones, cut off contantly @virginmedia @richardbranson

  • Hucklehoff
    James Huckle (@Hucklehoff) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia Yes and says no issues. All the sudden around 11.30 internet went dead and the traffic light was flashing green on the super hub 2 router

    James Huckle (@Hucklehoff) reported from Bournemouth, England

    🤞I think we may have actually made headway this morn with @virginmedia issue. But it's been 2 weeks of constant complaining. It shouldn't be this hard & shouldn't haven't arisen in first place. Wasted time on this approx 18 hrs of our time 😟 #CustomerService #exhausted

  • MickLLF
    Michael Moran (@MickLLF) reported

    @virginmedia So what is the incentive to remain a VM customer? What is the reward for loyalty? I’ve looked at your offers for existing customers and they are nowhere near the value you provide for new customers. Does this mean Virgin Media values new customers higher than existing?

    @virginmedia why don't I have a data signal in Guildford Town centre? Can you please fix this? I know you've had complaints about this before. I'm with virgin mobile.

  • twolftaz
    Taz (@twolftaz) reported

    @virginmedia Yes - I repeat, the signal is a strong 5G, on my 3 mobile phone and I am getting speeds of 250mbs but on the wifi dongle it is 5-10 mbs as I mentioned before, why is there a difference and how can this be corrected?

  • Jo_Higson
    Jo Higson MA (@Jo_Higson) reported

    @virginmedia This is just a complete nightmare. I have never come across anything so twisted. My son moved into a student house and went to set up WiFi. There was an issue because the previous tenants had left without cancelling their service. He either took over the account or was set up…

    @virginmedia I’ve been firstly on your triage bot & then a What’s App chat since 2.20pm today (that’s nearly 4 hours at the time of writing) & I’m still waiting for help about downgrading my package. Please help me out here, it’s not much to ask is it?
