    @virginmedia I can find the answer but can’t access my hub settings as won’t open, page not found. Can someone help please?

  • MatthewWalne
    Matthew Walne MCSI (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia The text service is a bot so doesn’t understand what I want. I don’t understand how posting on a community forum will help me order wifi pods. I’ve posted but just get replies from other members. I want to be able to contact someone at Virgin not other customers.

  • iamthemummy
    julie marlow (@iamthemummy) reported from Ibstock, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Refund me 6 weeks line rental for a start ... issue adapters to all house holds on the land line system before you change to hub, so customers are not left unable to make or receive calls.

    @virginmedia If you can sort out the compensation for the 2 weeks loss of service, that'd be great 👍

    Nimfresh.exe (@NimeshDave7) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia @vmbusiness why does my RTC internet connection disconnect every hour and connect 10 seconds later? It’s been happening for weeks, every hour it will go down for 10 seconds then reconnect??!?!? It’s problematic for my work!

  • ASJPhotography
    Alexandra Johnson (@ASJPhotography) reported from Coalville, England

    @virginmedia have to be the MOST unhelpful when it comes to customer service. I’ve been going round and round and round for an issue your technical engineer has already highlighted!!!!

  • VictorKaufman
    Victor Kaufman-Bartfield (@VictorKaufman) reported from Oadby and Wigston, England

    Quite apt that @virginmedia use the nil point British #eurovision2021 entry as their hold music - reflective of their customer service.

  • HarjitDosanjh8
    High End Chauffeurs of leicester (@HarjitDosanjh8) reported from Thurnby, England

  • breadf2man
    Fazal Rehman (@breadf2man) reported from Thurmaston, England

  • BillKilvington
    Bill Kilvington 💙 FCODP, FRCA (@BillKilvington) reported

    @virginmedia This isn't working is it. Asking if I'm available 'now' to answer security questions, when I respond yes you didn't get back to me for 3 hours. When, oddly I was no longer available. Very poor.

  • em_doapsi
    Emma (@em_doapsi) reported

    @virginmedia please fix your phone issues in the burbage area.

  • chrisnewts
    Chris Newton (@chrisnewts) reported

    @virginmedia why is it so difficult to reduce your package. Numerous phone calls and messages and none of your employees can manage to take off items off my package. Please respond before I cancel completely. Appalling customer service.

  • Edeaulx
    Adrian Weale (@Edeaulx) reported

    I spent a desultory hour earlier, glued to a 'web-chat' with a bot, and then a human, as I sought to cancel my @virginmedia broadband service. It wasn't unhelpful, though it shouldn't have taken so long but it isn't over. @virginmedia's T&Cs specify 30 days notice... 1/

    Simon Fitzgerald 🇺🇦 (@Bargainhunter85) reported

    @SteWhoPlays @virginmedia Had the same problem. They give you yodel to use so they must get a notification it’s been sent but then bill you because they haven’t checked in the equipment 😩

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Virgin was fine for me for the first few years then last 6 months of contract was nothing but issues ,was glad to be rid of them

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia That's exactly why so many people are switching to IP**—it offers better quality, greater stability, and costs much less than traditional TV subscriptions. 👍
