    @virginmedia Virgin Broadband / WiFi not working again this morning RG14 6xx Newbury. service line and app say no issues. Please resolve ASAP. We need working WiFi and not rely on 4G.

  • JobbyOvy
    Jon Bond (@JobbyOvy) reported from Basingstoke, England

    Phoned @virginmedia tonight to cancel, as my price was going to £74 from £55 a month. Best they could offer was £60 a month even though as a new customer it is currently £50 a month! I was told if they offered their current customers those prices, they’d go out of business...

    @virginmedia I have a security issue with my router, I cannot login in or change password as somebody else is logged in. I have tried repeatedly over the last few days to contact you. We have 2 vulnerable adults in the house and need to sort this ASAP!

  • Loafite
    Tony Phillips (@Loafite) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Thanks @virginmedia perhaps you should be making the effort to get me to stay as a customer. Hopefully @SkyHelpTeam will be able to offer me something more cost effective

  • AfroChuck87
    Dan 🇪🇺 #TitanUp (@AfroChuck87) reported from Basingstoke, England

    . Why have you hung up on be after being on hold after 40 minutes. Your customer service is an absolute disgrace. You should be ashamed. @virginmedia

  • drewy__
    Jez (@drewy__) reported from Whitchurch, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to contact via calling the number but I can’t get through as I’m a new customer wanting to join!

  • CathyTVNews
    Cathy Alexander (@CathyTVNews) reported from Thatcham, England

    What's the problem @virginmedia ? No broadband all day in RG18. Work day wasted. Your signal check says "problems" but no updates. Can't get thro to customer service.

  • Gazimoff
    Gareth “Gazimoff” Harmer (@Gazimoff) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia That’s right. We’d moved house and we’re hoping to keep you with us, but there’s been over a month of delays (issues with current cable). I need it for work, so I’ve been forced to cancel and organise alternatives.

    Jay (@Jason87r) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Contact ofcom or ombudsman as they have to show responsible attempts to fix the issue if not they need release from contract without penalty and they are also members of the telecoms auto compensation scheme so should be adding a certain amount of credit to ur bills

  • okaibedi
    Chidi Ebere (@okaibedi) reported

    Virgin media @virginmedia your network won’t let me enjoy the #UCLFinal. I have never been this terrified before!!!

  • Cloverbeech
    Gary Silvester (@Cloverbeech) reported

    @rpd_pacer @virginmedia OK. I know a lot of people over here. I’ll switch into Starlink, I suppose it’s the trade-off of a good deal and package versus terrible and infuriating customerservice! Good luck

  • SpikeLawson1
    Spike Lawson (@SpikeLawson1) reported

    @virginmedia What is it with the total indifference shown by virgin media? Service is down and we get three different timescales to fix it! They have obviously forgotten that we customers pay for their company

  • rpd_pacer
    RPD Pacer (@rpd_pacer) reported

    @Cloverbeech @virginmedia Just checked. Their top range broadband is as much as my VM bundle. The service we get is really good, it's the absolutely shocking customer service that comes with it 🙄🙄🙄

  • Mattyamc
    Mathew (@Mattyamc) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Every broadband company has a minimum speed they must deliver, if there failing then you are well within your rights to cancel. Call citizens advice, they have professional lawyers that will speak to them for you and trust me they will kick them in the nuts while there at it.

  • Teresacooper
    🌸 🙀 Teresa Cooper (@Teresacooper) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin media still down 18 hours later

  • DavidGerrish
    David Gerrish (@DavidGerrish) reported

    Misleading email @virginmedia saying I can watch Champions League Final for free. Seems I can’t. Now my son is in tears and he thinks I’m a terrible Dad.

  • JayneNunez11
    Kelli Jayne Nunez (@JayneNunez11) reported

    @keithward329 @virginmedia Depends. Auto replies are usually garbage, but the real issue is no human loop. We set up Replymer to catch mentions, then still route the messy ones to a person.

    Scarlett Shaw (@ScarlettShaw) reported

    @virginmedia Unless you’re going to assist me in fixing your software updates, I don’t see what you can do. But it’s a big problem not being able to rely on your box to record what I’ve asked it to because your constant software updates keeps wiping them.
