    Hi @virginmedia I have just moved into a new apartment where Wi-Fi is included. I have registered as a resident and I have received a pre-contract email but no account number and I am unable to connect to the Internet. Can you help me set things up?

    @virginmedia Have you just stopped responding now? Having some system issues?

    @virginmedia on my second week of being a first time customer with you and my connection has been down for nearly 10 hours now. What’s going on?

  • martinmoscrop

    @LennieThevan @virginmedia That sounds terrible Lennie. If you want to change a plan and save money they go out of their way to be unhelpful. However, if you want to spend more their customers service Is better.

    @virginmedia customer service is so ****. They just transfer you round to different departments

    Every time speak to @virginmedia @Virgin customer service I die a little bit inside #emogirl

    @virginmedia yet again my Internet isn't working. 18m on the old Internet and not one outage. now on the new and 'improved' service and yet another outage, so many outages already.... come on sort it out I'm paying good money for this......

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

  • mark001282
    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Don't give me your copy and pasted waffle. You have done nothing to help. You have been an absolute thorn in my side! "I'm so sorry you feel this way" is such an outdated and terrible response from a marketing point of view btw.

    Smyth Harper 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia No it’s not, and it has now transpired that your customer services agent told me a direct lie that there was a fault in my area when there is not. Someone else has now booked an engineer to come out - next Wednesday. I can’t even have my heating on as that’s controlled vía wifi

  • pillbo01
    kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia That number is a automated response not a customer service agent and an utter waste of time

  • dantheman8t5
    Daniel McDermott (@dantheman8t5) reported from Dukinfield, England

    @virginmedia Not as yet. Just that my postcode seems to be affected when checking service status

  • nadeem030986
    Nadeem (@nadeem030986) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia we having issues with our phone line at home called @virginmedia to book an engineer for a home visit after 1hr 20min @virginmedia put the phone down thank you 🤬😡😡😡

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia Could the problems in the area have caused damage to the equipment? As it was working fine before. Do I get compensation for all this time as the earliest appointment is Friday 14th?

  • Scarlet0Pimp
    Liam 🐀 (@Scarlet0Pimp) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia hello, can you please fix the broadband in the sk11 8aa area once and for all. It was down yesterday afternoon, just gone down today and down last week. Clearly there is some Faulty hardware that needs replacing. How can people work from home with broadband like this

  • blokealex
    alex. (@blokealex) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Complaint is about billing after cancellation, your staff refusing to process my request to cancel and being told a different thing every time I call back… it’s been awful.

  • barrys59
    Barry Slater (@barrys59) reported from Barton upon Irwell, England

    @virginmedia still no service M27. 4th hour! Rubbish!

  • _AdamGardiner
    Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia I have phoned you at least 10 times this week. I’ve had a visit from a technician. My Wi-Fi still doesn’t work. I rang up AGAIN in the last half an hour, after waiting for 30 mins to speak to someone, they said they had ‘system issues’ and hung up on me. (1/3)

  • AckersStorm
    Chris Atkinson (@AckersStorm) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia when will the broadband issues be fixed properly in my area?

  • johnsonhomes2
    johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia If that was the only issue than yes that would be the logical next step. But as you’ll see from the previous tweets and email sent on Wednesday it isn’t. All the issues need dealing with in the round or otherwise I’ll have to cancel and go back to sky.

  • MrMickey142
    Mr. Mickey (@MrMickey142) reported

    @Argos_Online I've always thought Virgin Media were the unanimous heavyweight champions of 'couldn't give a ****' customer 'care' but today, I've just realised (only because I deal with VM a lot more) that there's a genuine contender - a great white 'hope'!🤬 DISGUSTING!

  • ferdi_rezvan
    Ferdi Rezvan (@ferdi_rezvan) reported

    @virginmedia For the last 72 hours the internet goes down around 930 and comes back up in the evening. What is going on? I have sent a DM and not getting a response

  • MICKLE_M
    Michael (@MICKLE_M) reported

    @virginmedia could you please supply me with a contact number please. You are telling me I have to upgrade to anew box , however when I sp yourself 2 remote controls rather than 2 boxes. Your app is ridiculously poor. Give me a number please

  • Notonyournell10
    Dave. (@Notonyournell10) reported

    @virginmedia Appt booked for between 8 and 12 today, phoned you at 12, took 25 minutes to speak to someone, was told engineer would call me with a time within the hour, still heard nothing. Shambolic customer service.

  • hrcastle
    HRCastle (@hrcastle) reported

    @virginmedia Since 10am I have been trying to speak to someone to see if there is a problem in my area, or whether I need an engineer out. I have had phone calls from the complaints department, but still, no answer. Why won’t you confirm this?

  • MrJacobi
    Adam Jacobi (@MrJacobi) reported

    @virginmedia is there an outage in GU16 right now?

  • xTHEDROIDx
    Richard (@xTHEDROIDx) reported

    @virginmedia I've managed to sort it. Your customer service is appalling and because they're based in India, they lack any form of understanding or compassion and language barriers made the entite situation worse. Your UK based customer service team are flawless.
