    Mark ODonnell (@TheLensman) reported from Crewe, England

    @virginmedia The number used 01455443469 in the UK. They said they had detected problems on our router & wanted to help. They asked me to enter a web site. Having spent almost 40 years in IT I felt it was wrong. The router does have slow moments but I had not reported it.

    @drummerwhitey @northernsky67 @virginmedia Steve it was a last resort for me but other avenues were fruitless, I ended up getting a visit from an engineer , a booster and a reduction in my tariff after I told them I’d leave , normal customer service is dreadful, keep on pushing them

    @virginmedia It might be best if you send a DM - we had a phone call from people who said they were virgin support. We have a phone number but the call felt wrong

    Rocketman_86 (@Rocketman_86) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Yes. No human tone. No customer service. The usual have you tried changing the batteries in your phone, could it be your handset etc ( they bought new ones 6/7 week ago thinking it was them) may be they should ask Virgin Media to reimburse them

    Marc Almond (@marcalmond7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @TheHammer180 @virginmedia Best thing to do is give your 30 days notice to cancel and they will call you directly with an offer! Happened to me twice now!

  • iMeyrick
    Meyrick (@iMeyrick) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @zebadee1985 @virginmedia Virgin Media, fastest speeds but slowest customer service. It’s a massive shame, it really lets them down.

    @virginmedia trying to contact you and all I keep getting is a stupid repetitive bot

    Virgin Media is DOG AWFUL

  • moorland2
    Moorland (@moorland2) reported from Endon, England

    We stopped paying @virginmedia the£90 for what in fairness was complete crap and have bought a Manhattan @FreeviewTV box and couldn’t be happier. We would never go back to virgin or sky for their overpriced TV service

  • Rocketman_86
    Rocketman_86 (@Rocketman_86) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Your a tech company and doesn't have an email address. Your live chat is laughable and waiting times on the phones is silly. Trying log into the account - forget password the username doesn't exist. The self help is insulting intelligence is the ringer switched on for instance

  • Scookson2019
    Sophie (@Scookson2019) reported

    @virginmedia What can you actually help with? You say you don't have account access which covers almost every base and this isn't even an account issue, I just need to know whether an install is happening because I've had no confirmation from Virgin. And now nobody can help, Virgin don't care

  • leafy_lucy28
    Lucy Bradley (@leafy_lucy28) reported

    @virginmedia You're telling me. It has now been 24 hours since I first raised this issue

  • RichardNSherwin
    Richard Sherwin (@RichardNSherwin) reported

    @virginmedia my Internet connection is really poor today. I've done 3 videos calls and the image keeps freezing, sound keeping cutting out. Your website claims there are no issues in my area but this is doesn't seem to be the case. Postcode ME16 8EU

  • DeeSingh86
    DeeSingh (@DeeSingh86) reported

    @virginmedia As always your service page lies. It's says broadband is ok, but it's NOT ok.

  • AmyDenatale
    amy denatale (@AmyDenatale) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately it is not acceptable and I will be following the avenues to have this resolved. From what I am hearing Virgin have a habit of not advising their new customers of the process and it is down to experiences like this what we are stung!

  • Hpsaucy515
    Helen Peers (was Partridge) (@Hpsaucy515) reported

    @O2 I’m actually with @virginmedia mobile but since they joined with you our data service is rubbish.. we used to use data more than WiFi as that was how good it was.. but not anymore x

  • GavinHannon56
    Gavin Hannon (@GavinHannon56) reported

    @virginmedia @timfen8 Mine is the same on all 3 boxes. Why? I have tried everything. I’m only a new customer too. It’s a load of bollox tbh.

  • Chris198773
    Chris Potts (@Chris198773) reported

    @DonnaBrannan12 @virginmedia I'm in the same situation Donna. Given a renewed deal for ultimate volt. On Sunday they put me onto maxit tv and 200Mb broadband. Tried multiple calls and had phone put down. Its ridiculous!

  • jwaterworth
    John Waterworth (@jwaterworth) reported

    @virginmedia Our remote is broken. I’ve been trying to order a new one since last week, but your website just shows a “something’s broken, come back later” page. Can you help?

  • SteveEdis
    Steven Edis (@SteveEdis) reported

    Oh no @virginmedia yet again I have no internet and you're letting me down. For the umpteenth time this year. People, don't sign up to @virginmedia the reliability of the service is truly awful
