    @virginmedia as per usual the red button not working AGAIN the amount I pay you each month should provide me with a much much better service than this. What are you doing??????

    @gracedavies I had a dream that I Met a Boy Online was used by Virgin Media in a TV advert, and you got paid a ****-ton of money. Does that count?

    @virginmedia @justwearmasks Instead of employing robots in your impossible to contact call centres and ripping of the public for your shareholders, set up a proper system of customer care which is accessible, helpful, considerate and capable of fixing customer problems quickly and competently.

    @virginmedia I’m using a lot of data trying to sort this out as no internet. I feel like I’m going mad. Your company says ask us for help during these difficult times yet I have and have been treat really shabbily. I’m so frustrated and angry please help me

  • simonmp68
    SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I have tried phoning and am being passed from pillar to post on chat. I have no services. I’m housebound and cannot do anything. I’ve asked for help as suggested and am receiving none. Very unhappy

  • DanielHill21
    Daniel Hill (@DanielHill21) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia So why do you not have a chat system? I work in a similar industry and we are able to help our customer through chat, phone, online, social media it’s crazy a company of the size of virgin media can’t accommodate us. Not having a go at you I’m just disappointed in the system

  • Shaunelious
    Shaun Calvert (@Shaunelious) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia I’ve cancelled the visit but why should I have to call back in the first place to cancel a visit I didn’t agree to? I wanted it adding to my initial complaint or raising separately but no one was interested. Cancel my contract

  • UKLightCreation
    Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia You won't process it as I am not willing to pay for 30 days of no Internet as the hub has almost zero range even if my line issues are resolved

    @virginmedia DM about what? From my post you have my details, the situation that repeats and repeats and repeats. None of this happened until VM decided that you would make changes for better security by having the VMO2 p'word. Is this problem just us or are others affected? #virginmedia #O2

    Day 22 without @virginmedia broadband, with still no explanation of why it’s taking so long to fix the outage in my area. It’s also the 4th date they’ve said it will be fixed by this pm. On the other 3 I’ve had a lunchtime message to say it will be 1 more week. Let’s see today..
