    @virginmedia I signed up and got my install on Saturday the 2nd. I was trying to login to my account via the App and through a webpage with me not hearing anything regarding my first billing process And it's not letting me do so I just get an error message saying that my user does not exist.

    So @virginmedia don’t understand my 78 year old deaf father cannot call them. They call me as asked out of the blue and tell me they can’t fix the broadband problem, they WONT send an engineer out and I’m getting upset because I’m not hearing what I want. They got that right x

    @reddersmufc @Ofcom @virginmedia It's awful! I'm sick of calling customer services and getting through to someone who cannot understand basic English language and goes on talking about something else. Then try to speak to three different advisers to raise a simple issue/complaint and they refuse!

    @virginmedia is there an issue with the internet service in ST4 Stoke on Trent?

    @virginmedia do any of your technical support staff have the first clue what they’re on about?

  • 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

  • IXL
    Ian Fraser (@IXL) reported from Keele, England

    Dear @virginmedia. I’d like to cancel my account. I’ve called 4 times this afternoon, put on hold for ages and been disconnected each time. Why are you making it so hard?

  • andy_dickerson
    Andrew Dickerson (@andy_dickerson) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Yes I did and Tuesdays fault was shown and yesterday's wasn't so how about you provide the service I pay for. If this continues I will begin getting quotes from other service providers as I am fed up of dealing with bots and spammers claiming to be from you.

  • Andreaeday
    Andrea Day (@Andreaeday) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia Just also discovered that even though I was told I wouldnt pay for gadget rescue & then I was charged in error. Called last weekend to sort and was told it was sorted, I’ve just been credited £5 rather than the £20 paid for initial set up. I am SO tired of this. Please fix it.

  • Knightfight7
    David Knight (@Knightfight7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Didn’t think your service could get worse.Wifi is now completely unusable.Getting 3mb wired into a Xbox one.Still got considerable amount of tv channels not working.All for £100 per month.What an absolute disgrace

    Matt (@shent) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia how is the admin panel so slow on the hub 3.0, it’s actually terrible and has been since release 😒 I can’t even access my DHCP settings

  • MattHugheslives
    Matthew Hughes (@MattHugheslives) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    So @virginmedia is increasing their prices by £8.50 pm. Wouldn't mind so much if they had decent service, eifi that doesn't cut out when i go upstairs, Sky Atlantic etc. Would go with @SkyUK but their wifi doesn't like bloody copper pipes.

  • sabrevan
    Brendan (@sabrevan) reported

    @virginmedia - broadband down for the majority of the time since Wednesday night in KT2 area. “Helpline” says the engineers are looking into the problem. Surely you can give a straight answer. Sky and Vodafone are offering same speeds. Should I move?

  • rssconsultant
    rssconsultant (@rssconsultant) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service agents on chat are utter crap. Taking 5 mins to reply to every response. Incompetent!

  • TYS20212
    Told You So (@TYS20212) reported

    @Oxford_Life @virginmedia The new tv box is absolutely abysmal, the worst “upgrade” in history. If it wasn’t for lack of high speed broadband alternatives here we would be off like a shot.

    @virginmedia Is there anything you can offer to help us out ? I have to work and we have no entertainment for the evening / weekend
