    @virginmedia Your company is awful. I’ve called today waited 10min to the worst hold music only to be cut off. Call back to be told your closed now then state you are open between 9-6. Why are you deliberately obstructive?

    Properly for the best part of a yr doesn't seem a problem to yourselves but your quite happy to take out monthly payment for a service we're paying for but you're not providing & seem to be in no hurry to provide it. Disgraceful service @virginmedia

    @richie_rich77 @virginmedia If it's just a WiFi issue and your LAN connection is OK maybe try a mesh system. Works great here with BT

    @virginmedia any chance of supporting existing customers, currently paying £32 a month but your offering new customers 25 a month. Helpline said nothing I can do as existing customer.

  • AcuharmonyUK
    Acuharmony-UK (@AcuharmonyUK) reported from Clevedon, England

    @virginmedia No reported issues. Tried the fixes before, and so did virgin chat. Not just my handset, other people are having the same problem. Am I going to have to change networks, is that what you're saying? Due to the change to O2?

  • Dazc090861
    Darren Coomber (@Dazc090861) reported 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!!!

  • andylance1977
    andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales

    @virginmedia is it normal practice when a call is made to you about problems with the tivo box (3rd time this year) that you're then on a call for over an hr at at the end of it promised an upgrade, go thro all the protocols only to be told actually you can't have that

  • j_bettany
    Jacob (@j_bettany) reported from Clevedon, England

    So many scammers calling from '@VirginMedia Technical Support' at the moment. 5 in 24 hours. I've taken to suggesting they might think about getting a different job but heartbreaking to get the response, 'can you give me one?' It's basically #organisedcrime built on #poverty

    @virginmedia @HopeForTo Is this a joke! Estimated fix time after 5pm. Broadband and TV both down. Supposed to be working! Put prices up again and on one of the most important dates in TV history (WC26 Semi Finals) everything is down!

  • sinbinnin
    Sinbinnin (@sinbinnin) reported

    @virginmedia We have had no TV in L22 since Saturday 11th July, outage checker has shown fix time this afternoon - just received a text to say engineer on the way, fix time now tomorrow. This is a bit more than rubbish, how do I claim compensation? (I thought it was automatic)

  • George66Steve
    Steve George🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@George66Steve) reported

    @virginmedia I've given you the incident number. What's to look into apart from your appalling service. But I've DMd you so feel free to send me more platitudinous bullshit!

  • Mayur_pdf
    Mayur Shikotra (@Mayur_pdf) reported

    Shocking bad service by @virginmedia. Engineer was meant to come to see if our property could get broadband. Apparently he “turned up” and decided we cannot have broadband. All while I’ve been waiting here for him. Checked CCTV and no sign of this engineer.

  • Salfordoriginal
    SalfordOriginal (@Salfordoriginal) reported

    @virginmedia Obviously a capacity issue and rate throttling going wrong!!!

    Dr Elaine Rust (@elainerust) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve sent a direct message but have received an auto response identical to the message you have already sent me. Is anyone prepared to help?

  • HolliCarden
    Holli (@HolliCarden) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK This is why I’m happy that Virgin Media are being fined millions of pounds. Their customer service is disgraceful.
