    Alison Wilson (@allycardmaker) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia why am I getting so many spam emails don’t you filter them ? Never normally get this many

  • timdnottingham
    Tim Dawson (@timdnottingham) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia help! I dropped my virgin TV remote in my drunk and now it won't work! What do I need to to do to get a new one?

  • MYLA5TROLO
    Tiger Sue (@MYLA5TROLO) reported from Blaby, England

    @virginmedia No, never been asked before. And the advisor said ‘within 4 hours’, engineer turned up today, I’m not there! He said they don’t work Sunday anyway. Advisor needs some re training.

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

    @virginmedia I just never get anywhere, constantly going around in circles and no one seems capable or willing to help. The broadband kit provided isn’t fit for purpose considering how much I pay for it.

  • JessLeighA
    Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @Jake_BHughes @virginmedia we had similar issue. they came when we were on holiday, no communication. we rang, were told they were coming yesterday to connect us, they didn’t arrive. told they’re coming today, didn’t arrive. spent 2 hours on the phone cancelling and was hung up on 3 times.

  • ChrisLonelyguy
    Christopher Hallick (@ChrisLonelyguy) reported from Leicestershire, England

    Come on @virginmedia I'm again being plagued by #fake #scam #fraud calls on landline. I'm not registered anywhere and on blocked lists. There's auto diallers i believe but operators should be cracking down on this.

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

    @virginmedia I know I recently extended my broadband contract with you but the service is abysmal and the customer service even worse. Can I cancel please and I will go back to Sky.

  • TeresaBudworth
    Teresa Budworth (@TeresaBudworth) reported from Quorn, England

    52 minutes and two escalations for @virginmedia call centre to agree the diagnosis I’d already made. ‘Your “intelligent” booster pod is not working. A new one will be with you in 3-5 working days’ No wifi upstairs for a week is unacceptable

  • LittleTed84
    Chris Roberts (@LittleTed84) reported from Hinckley, England

    @OpenreachHelp Could you confirm if Virgin Media are planning to utilise the same exchange as they are expanding there network in the same area.

  • Dog_in_a_hat
    Wayne™ (@Dog_in_a_hat) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia Why would I run a wired speed test when I have no wired appliances? I pay for a wifi service...

  • Manraj_Virkk
    Manraj (@Manraj_Virkk) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia why does my wifi keep cutting out every 15 mins for about 2 mins then come back? Not great when I work from home and my meetings cut out midway through…

  • djstar3d
    David Johnston (@djstar3d) reported from Melton Mowbray, England

    @virginmedia Come on guys. Can you at least let me watch the MotoGP on BT sport 2? I’m pretty sure I have the rights to watch it since I watched it yesterday no problem

  • yogi7592
    Yv (@yogi7592) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia been on live chat hold for nearly 30 minutes and it’s still saying 45 minutes wait as it did at the start. Not very good customer service since pandemic.

  • jnlangton
    joseph langton (@jnlangton) reported from Braunstone, England

    @timofnewbury @virginmedia there is an outage here in middle england 16:00 ETR

  • NikkiPearman
    Nikki Pearman 💙 (@NikkiPearman) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia That’s my problem. I can’t get to speak to a person and your automated system doesn’t allow me to discuss the issue properly.

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

    @virginmedia I rang Virgin again after work, redirected to technical advise, done some things from his end and he said it would settle down and be just fine .... the internet is dropping off just the same, no improvement

  • SimeonHockley
    Simeon Hockley (@SimeonHockley) reported from Ketteringham, England

    Something rather awful about being on hold with @virginmedia! 2 hours and counting....

    @om_riff @RICHEYHELL We have **** all 4g coverage here too unless you stand in the front bedroom with your arm out the window. Our virgin media is either on & working well or down for half a day while they 'upgrade the network' 🤔

  • LeFuzzyOtter
    Ann Chapman (@LeFuzzyOtter) reported from Hinckley, England

    Is anyone else having issues with @virginmedia? Internet is being very spotty and seems others are having issues too according to Down Detector.

    @Doddstar79 @virginmedia Their service seems to be particularly bad in recent weeks...

  • MasterRoshi1667
    Master Roshi (@MasterRoshi1667) reported

    @MelJanie @virginmedia They really are a pack of useless *****. Typical VM. Takes your money and a shite service. We all accept it anyway because they are allowed to get away with it. It doesn’t pay to be loyal any more.

  • PaulOBrienKil
    Paul O'Brien (@PaulOBrienKil) reported

    @virginmedia @MizzCQ I strongly urge anyone thinking of subscribing to @virginmedia to NOT do it. Took over a hour to get through to customer service & they still won't fix their mistake. Shambles of an organisation.

  • rob_elcock

    @elScreech81 @virginmedia Absolutely terrible mate !!!!

  • william27504693
    william (@william27504693) reported

    @LeeHarris @virginmedia The fact you seem shocked by this means 1 of 2 things. 1) You're really dense & didn't research how truly terrible VM services are 2) You went for the cheap option & this is the result

  • KevCrane41
    Kev Crane (@KevCrane41) reported

    @BonesE78 @virginmedia I have the same reply, I've sent them a dozen messages, including photos and videos of the streaming box not working but my Alexa still able to say date and time. Not interested, just saying I have to call them from my landline, I don't have one. The service is pathetic.

  • wolve585
    Craig (@wolve585) reported

    What a joke @virginmedia are! 2 weeks, twice "the system isn't working", 3 times been promised call backs to sort the account of my dad who has passed away and nothing! As if its not a hard enough time as it is! I was going to keep the account but this has made me want to cancel!

  • PaddySw99745534
    Paddy Sweeney (@PaddySw99745534) reported

    @virginmedia @LucyW1972 Why is no one dealing with customer service complaints. For one month now I have emailed, messaged called but still your equipment has not been sorted. Paddy Sweeney
