  Dr Chris Inglis (@ChrisSwinglis) reported 56 seconds ago from Penarth, Wales

  @GillibrandPeter Virgin Media are - by a significant margin - the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of having to deal with. I literally don't think there's anything in the world that could ever convince me to go back to them.

  @virginmedia It works intermittently. This has been discussed over a series of phone calls through 12 months. A booster box has been sent too and its still poor. We're paying for a service we can't use when we want to. The TV box is next to the WiFi box downstairs & is still poor.

  @virginmedia another day another WiFi outage. This really is the worst WiFi I've ever had. Legally as you are not providing the service as promised am I allowed to cancel the contract ? @CitizensAdvice

  Oh, looks like @virginmedia have disconnected my service 7 days before they were meant to 🙄 Absolute rubbish.

  @virginmedia I get your bills, that is how I realised as a loyal customer I am paying £40 plus a month for Internet access only. Fortunately for me and not for you BT Openreach have been installing fibre to home allowing me greater negotiating power as tou have no respect for loyalty.

  @virginmedia Can I just ask why it is that you can respond within minutes on social media (where the public can see your actions) but then in private you are ignoring your customers and taking three weeks to deal with issues? If you have agents manning twitter why can’t you pick up the phone?

  @virginmedia you absolutely SUCK! Sick to death of the poor service you are providing. No TV at all and having to wait 3 days fir a technician and yet you will still charge us, I’m FUMING!

  @virginmedia still waiting since 7.30 am for the engineer to come to sort out the problems we are having, he’s 25 minutes to get here ( we were given 7.30-13 slot) still no tv since Thursday!

  Carol Gladwin (@carolgladwin) reported 24 minutes ago from Nailsea, England

  @virginmedia Had real problems with the service web page.. took an age to load and then chucked me back a page! Our service is back now.

  Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported 24 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia I'm now waiting on a call from the retentions department (I missed one earlier)! I know exactly what they will say because I've spoken to them on a number of occasions...they will offer me a new contract & raise a complaint about the messing about you've given me!!!

• 
  Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported 28 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia A laughable statement in all honesty you're known for terrible service, demonstrated by the line "Package changes". Who said package changes? I have a TV package, I signed up for, have a contract for and have been using since June. It's disappeared your end, I have the docs.

• 
  Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported 31 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia But the team is impossible to contact!!! And when you do get in contact it’s always someone else’s problem, ‘oh I’ll just pass you onto my colleague’ etc. I’ve WhatsApped the help number too and been told it’s a long wait and told I can ‘get on with [my] day’ - absolute joke.

  Paul 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@paulo1927) reported 32 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia as a former TV customer, now just broadband, I want to reconnect a TV package. I already have 3 boxes in my house can they not be just reconnected instead of sending my out a box?

  @virginmedia Hi our internet is going to be down for 2 days. I have a business acc with you with phone line will I be compensated for inconvenience? 😡

  Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported 37 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia I’m fuming! We were lied to by their customer service , promised an engineer this an no one turned up now been told by customer service that we won’t have one until tomorrow #nithoodenough

  Another day in the life of a @virginmedia customer. TV showing fault. Ran online diagnostics, didn't fix. Site says to call. Call. Go through menu, TV, fault... sends me a text with a link to online diagnostics, says "thanks for calling" and hangs up. Worst. Company. Ever.

  @virginmedia @Dionne96310374 We weren’t offered that when ours went down

  Oh, maybe not. Even though the website says no problem, there is a problem with the broadband round here 🙄 @virginmedia

  @virginmedia No wifi for the last 4 days and this keeps happening. Hub box replaced but still not working 👎

• 
  Shakermaker (@jonno153) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia hello, I’ve been having WiFi problems for some time now. I already have a WiFi pod in the home but if I move it then we get another dead spot. I have called about this but was told that I need to have a speed test below 30mbps.

• 
  Andy W (@AndrewW12290183) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Why did You take £90 out of my account in case I don't send the equipment back ? Thing is I'm still waiting for the returns package from you. Or is another ploy to take more money like when you signed me up for a TV subscription I never asked for.

• 
  Red Hand Rohl (@TheHarvDawg72) reported 15 minutes ago

  8 hours worth of calls and 7 hours sitting on the live chat with virgin media and I haven’t spoken to a single British person 🤯 Genuinely the worst customer service Ave ever had in my life btw

• 
  Sam Greenland (@SprocketEtQuill) reported 17 minutes ago

  This week I’ve learnt a lesson. Resilience in AI Agents isn’t just about model provider Vs local hosting. This week @virginmedia accidentally cut my internet connection and it’ll be a week before they can fix it. I’m buying a 5G router so the baby monitors still work because that’s a safety concern! The router will also bring the Mac Mini back online so two of my three agents will be back. The third agent is on a laptop at work so they’re still up anyway. Resilience baked in was a good strategy, but it will get better still. There’s always room for improvement?

  @O2 is **** for customer service since the Virgin Media merger constantly logged out an log back in won’t let me pay on the app can never get through when I’m at work sort this **** out man I’ve been with you forever same number everything

  @NicolaG01 @virginmedia My experience of Virgin has always been they suffer from technical issues. Many is the time in the past I have called them, they have told me to do things at my end which I know will achieve nothing... and then it magically works!

  @virginmedia I currently have a contract with Virgin Media for a mobile phone which I wish to terminate can you please advise me of a number I can call to sort this matter out Unfortunately I cannot call 202 because the current phone is broken Thank You Colin Burman

  @virginmedia The estimated fix time was initially reported to be 6 May at 1pm Then we got told today at 6pm Now it’s back to 6 May at 1pm Surely we cannot be left without broadband and TV until Wednesday? Ref : F012271473
