    @virginmedia My previous landline telephone number was meant to be ported over and this never got done. I’ve never been able to receive incoming calls on my landline. Internet is very intermittent. My experience with your customer service hasn’t been great. All along I’ve been paying in full.

    @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.

    @Rhodri_H_Davies @virginmedia It's #virginontheridiculous that @virginmedia have had the same lame excuse for their 'temporary', nightmarish wait times on their 'helpline' for 12 months now Who else gets the dropped calls as soon as you mention a bad broadband connection? Were trying to #homeschool here!

  • Chihao
    Steve Tran (@Chihao) reported from Hammersmith, England

    Yet again @virginmedia broadband and router is down. So is the website to check it. #useless.

    Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia There are your usual garbage explanations yes. Saying no fix for hours. Not good enough

  • malaiet

  • ImaginaryCard

  • 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. 😱😱😱

    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @AlexanderTroup @virginmedia I guess there is a retention quota of some sort, that needs to be hit for some big wig get a big fat bonus. Especially, since we staying a customer anyway, just different account.

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

    @virginmedia Issue is still ongoing. I have called the helpline twice and after dialling my password and getting a dial tone, I have been cut off both times before speaking to anyone. Are your phone lines broken?

  • Jo_The_Waiter
    CALUM GRAY (@Jo_The_Waiter) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia It was fixed about 1:30am but this is happening a lot since I moved to Hammersmith. But you never tell us what the problem is or give any compensation. I couldn’t do anything. Even my PS4 wouldn’t allow me to play games as they connect online. No TV nothing

  • DuarteMendonca
    Duarte Mendonça (@DuarteMendonca) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia having massive issues with billing and tried over 5 times to sort this over the phone. Most times someone will hang up and not call back making me have to call again, wait for 30m, tell the whole story again. Need to speak to an actual human at a store. Suggestions?

  • PeteAustin_
    Pete Austin (@PeteAustin_) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia My partner - a current Virgin customer - just got *HUNG UP ON* by one of the rudest customer services advisors I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Abhorrent customer service. Absolutely shocking.

  • 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

  • AndrewGrill

    @virginmedia Hi guys. The voice activated part of my remote isn’t working at the moment. Could you give me some guidance on how to fix the issue please? Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Hamsolo1977
    Paul (@Hamsolo1977) reported

    @O2 your app has been absolute garbage since the @virginmedia account integration, it’s a nightmare to login and payment options consistently fail to work, I’ve been a customer for many years but it’s this kind of nonsense that makes me want to take my business elsewhere.

  • ScottishC87
    Scottish (@ScottishC87) reported

    @Ripple300X did you ever get to the bottom of your packet loss issues on Downbad? Speaking to Joby he says you had to stop playing. Having the same issue elsewhere or only on Downbad? I'm trying to talk to Virgin Media just now.

  • MarkoPoloG1889

    @virginmedia after 20 years have just cancelled my contract awful customer service your company will be on its knees if this continues

  • Tutts558
    Mike T (@Tutts558) reported

    @fia I can rewind my Virgin Media to show you Max breaking the rules. Why can't you ? It effects the result, and other teams responses to what you do. You clearly favour him. Terrible decision.

  • Merse2506
    John Mercer (@Merse2506) reported

    @virginmedia The help on your website is very bad. Please can I arrange an engineer

  • SprocketEtQuill
    Sam Greenland (@SprocketEtQuill) reported

    This week I’ve learnt a lesson. Resilience in AI Agents isn’t just about model provider Vs local hosting. This week @virginmedia accidentally cut my internet connection and it’ll be a week before they can fix it. I’m buying a 5G router so the baby monitors still work because that’s a safety concern! The router will also bring the Mac Mini back online so two of my three agents will be back. The third agent is on a laptop at work so they’re still up anyway. Resilience baked in was a good strategy, but it will get better still. There’s always room for improvement?
