    @virginmedia not very happy with the service from Virgin Media! After looking to leave them last week they promised to improve the WiFi and install a 2nd box. Well we have never and now they want to install the 2nd box in a MONTH and a HALF! #poorservice #virginmedia

    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @Mike_Randazzo1 @virginmedia Oh, they did let me cancel, but I had to answer about 3 “last question”s before they proceeded 5 minute response time on chat, took me nearly two hours, after the 4 hours it took to connect an agent. We could get a contract with a credit check in 5 minutes.

    Can @virginmedia WiFi please fix up!! Gave me a right scare

  • MilesMalaya
    Milesfiles (@MilesMalaya) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia The connection has been terribly weak the past 2 weeks. I keep getting kicked out of video calls. Please could you fix, I need to work.

  • REHerrera
    Ralph E. Herrera (@REHerrera) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia how can I contact u? Nothing works online, no text sent, calls are not answered. I have been trying to contact u for two weeks. I am moving overseas and need to cancel unless you have service in USA. #virginmedia

  • iamAleFerrara
    Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Can you just send a technician over to us? I’d assume you’d prioritise a customer that has been left with no Internet for 5 days? I’m not going to post the issue on an online forum, I’m asking you to provide support please.

  • GaborPfalzer
    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia After the two hour chat, it was finally resolved. Wife have arranged an internet connection to our new flat before this(with Virgin btw), took 5 minutes. Lot of hoops to jump through to cancel, when I just wanted to get it over with. No offers, just cancel.

  • FoodwiseWomen
    Foodwise Woman (@FoodwiseWomen) reported from Kensington, England

    I’m trying to live chat to @virginmedia to see if they can install a Hub 5 router in our area as Apple reporting privacy problems with existing router. I’m on hold for a ‘live’ agent but their Terri Triage BOT requires me to press the ‘Yes I’ll hold button’ every 40secs. 😱😱😱

  • Julia___Valerie
    Julia Valerie (@Julia___Valerie) reported from Kensington, England

    @dazzleeds @virginmedia Have exactly the same experience with @virginmedia - customer service does not exist but the charges are taken and increased without fail. For three weeks have been trying to get in touch and get some support with zero result argh 😖🤯😭😭😭😭

  • nickhooker
    Nick ****** (@nickhooker) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia has the very worst customer service of any company I have ever had to deal with. If you value your sanity DO NOT sign up with them to provide anything!

  • ImaginaryCard
    Mo-Mo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia it's been 3 hours and we still don't have WiFi. We shouldn't have to wait 48 hours of bad service for a refund when this **** happens every few days 😵#virginmediadown

  • ImaginaryCard
    Mo-Mo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia down yet again. Where's the refund for all the hours lost with no WiFi connection?

  • iamAleFerrara
    Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Yes I did try to call but couldn’t get hold of anyone after a 20 min wait. As you can see from the screenshot above in previous tweet, every appointment I make gets cancelled. Are you able to do something about this? Any help would be much appreciated

  • craiginmotion
    craig crawford (@craiginmotion) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia And how am I to do that with no service? It took 3 technicians to figure out my modem had to be “pin reset” and another to rename it properly. Thats 1 hr of my life gone. So glad @CommunityFibre has arrived near me.

  • tobygilles
    🎤Toby Gilles🎤 (@tobygilles) reported from Paddington, England

    Anyone else having an issue making calls on @virginmedia mobile? Is this a known issue?

  • markhayo
    MarcHayo (@markhayo) reported from Kensington, England

    Well done to the engineers @virginmedia for sorting out my internet in Earl’s Court (ahead of time as usual). I appreciate that people have genuine problems, but we need to keep a sense of proportion. Especially compared with brave Ukrainians who face far worse troubles than us.

  • margarethines1
    mags (@margarethines1) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Your 08000643777 or 03454541111 are not working properly! They not go back to the beginning after my area reference!!!

  • AsadMoghal
    Asad Moghal (@AsadMoghal) reported from Kensington, England

    Why does @virginmedia have the worst customer service - the chatbot won’t work, the telephone service disconnects straight away - why bother with the service?

    Tons of organisations where you want to speak to a human and can't find a phone number. Yet. Virgin media down. I just want to click a button to report and all I can find is a phone number.

  • SiGallagher
    Simon Gallagher (@SiGallagher) reported

    @virginmedia What's the issue with the app and website log ins? It's not working, not showing an error message other than "server_error" in the URL, and I see no status update from you?

  • old_stephen
    Stephen Old German - English Translator (@old_stephen) reported

    @virginmedia It did not work. Also, my landline stopped working when you switched us over to the new fibre connection. I am told that a lot of people have had this problem. I will find a better provider.

    Andy Devine (@AndyDevineCOYS) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely despicable that since January this year we have been trying to sort out fraud on my 83 year old disabled mother in laws account where somehow she is been hacked with additional services on her account. Despite over 100 calls and live chats and 8 complaint

  • Dgjbear1
    Dgjbear (@Dgjbear1) reported

    @virginmedia Why do you bother to ask everyone to send you a DM detailing our issue and then simply ignore it. I am now on hold to you customer service (lol) team for 2hrs 9mons. The team obviously doesn’t exist anymore. I will be messaging you in public until you reply to me

    Not only that but they said they’d call me to discuss next steps . What next steps @VirginMediaIE ?!! What could I possibly contribute to solving the issue. This isn’t good enough @virginmedia. I have friends also experiencing problems with VM .
