    @virginmedia as you know PR is important to a company. If you want to look good on the public eye and social media. I think you should automatically credit all customers effected by service issues Friday and last night. Hopefully I going to be able to watch the final episode of

    @virginmedia We’ve been disconnected early. Been trying for nearly an hour on your live chat but no help provided at all. Still waiting.

    @virginmedia help why have you made it so difficult to log a landline vault on line. Need to call, as line out of order since friday. I am certain it's systems fault as display message I have seen on previous occasions.

    Nick Blackburn (@Omnomnick) reported from Camden Town, England

    @hellylovesrawk @Ellydoestelly @CTweakThorne Oh no, never at work! This was to Virgin Media, who were clawing onto keeping me as a customer and sending me bills months after I'd cancelled the service!

  • KikassP
    kikassPhotography(official) 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@KikassP) reported from London, England

    Please @virginmedia can you change your waiting music. Its the same 4 tracks adnauseum & very poor quality at that. No wonder customers who wait for over an hour hang up. Its enough to drive you mad with these earworms all day.

  • silvergoatish

    @virginmedia Duly noted. I'm not likely to be a customer for much longer though, with your general level of service and pricing.

  • _RhysThorne
    Rhys (@_RhysThorne) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia have to be *the* most unreliable WiFi providers. 2 days with no internet and it’s still not working!

  • KikassP
    kikassPhotography(official) 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@KikassP) reported from London, England

    I've just had to suffer the same 4 songs,1 a poor cover of 'Where my Rosemary goes', on a loop, in 2,45 mins of waiting for @virginmedia to pick up. Within 10 mins of engineer fixing fault, its playing up again. Its also the end of my contract so I want to deal with it.

  • blackheathma
    Amanda Birrell (@blackheathma) reported from London, England

    @MartinSLewis It is the worst company I have ever dealt with and I’m now actively discouraging others to use Virgin Media. Cancelling is also very difficult and deliberately so

    @virginmedia So maybe I have also a problem with my phone line! ******* now

    Rebecca Gould (@beccaleigh99) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia hello, since you ‘upgraded’ the WiFi in our area - Clerkenwell- the WiFi signal has been terrible. To whom shall I complain? Thanks

  • tomaszrykala
    Tomasz Rykała (@tomaszrykala) reported from London, England

    Wow @virginmedia is having a complete meltdown in my area and their automated service is telling me that this "short" interruption to my internet services should be resolved at 10 am tomorrow. That's 14 hours from now! What if my work depended on it?

  • farnsworth_adam
    Adam Farnsworth (@farnsworth_adam) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s appalling they can act so quickly What about the speed issue?

    Nicolas Laborie ( He/Him ) (@nicolas_laborie) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Whats is happening ?? Been put in a queue only to have the CV phone put down on me twice without even talking to an operator ? What do I need to do to speak to someone??

  • lucyfrancis_tri

    @LPNevin @virginmedia I have the same problem, lost access to my email account

  • guyrleech
    Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Here we go, phones again. This is the 21st century where other communication methods are much more efficient. I'll be surprised if they do respond to me and actually help with my 2 open support tickets (both failing your SLA)

    Connor Dean (@donnorcean) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Still cutting in and out as it has been for many weeks… no local area issues listed anywhere. Have been trying to get ahold of someone for weeks now but just keeps looping in the app, really frustrating

    @virginmedia It says there aren't any known issues but we have been struggling with it for the last few years - the service is just getting worse!

  • MonsterMikeyG
    mike gorman💙 (@MonsterMikeyG) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia I cancelled @virginmedia after 15years last week as my bill hit £200. They offered me a decent package but I said no. Phoned me over 6 times over the next 2 days before I answered only for them to offer me a worse deal than the one I turned down. Madness

  • racenerd2
    racenerd2 (@racenerd2) reported

    @virginmedia @JamieGBarry @virginmedia This really is a terrible response. The price goes up because the price goes up. Seriously? We were with you for years, but got sick of the constant increases and the depressingly asymmetric customer interface... trivial to move to a higher cost contract, but reducing the cost involves sitting on hold then speaking to an overseas call centre. This business model screams desperation. It's customer hostile. Please, wake up and pack it in. We're now with Toob, £29/mo for 900M+ fibre. We ported our phone number to a VoIP service for about £2.99/mo and don't miss the ad-stuffed cable TV channels at all.

    @virginmedia Your WiFi is AWFUL

  • DanielCasey7
    Daniel Casey (@DanielCasey7) reported

    @virginmedia @JamieGBarry @virginmedia we shouldn't have to move through three call centre departments, 20 requests to cancel the contract only to be hard sold a more expensive contract, eventually the cancellation request is accepted, then the retentions dept can actually offer a fair deal.

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 3months to update an auto send template. Media savvy VM at the cutting edge of tech and customer service.

  • pauliebwillcox
    Pauliebwillcox💙 (@pauliebwillcox) reported

    @virginmedia I upgraded to Virgin360, it's been a nightmare- 4 times the box has reset & lost all our recordings, it fails to records things and its been impossible to get any help - we've been with you with no problems for decades, can you get me some help before I move to Sky?

  • FractalDoctor
    Dr Stuart Woolley (@FractalDoctor) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Had exactly the same situation last year with a close relative. Complete shambles that took many mails and waiting on hold on the phone to resolve, then sending back boxes of crap that would no doubt go into landfill. I'd recommend avoiding them at all costs, for anyone.

  • WeHearYou2020
    WeHearYou (@WeHearYou2020) reported

    @virginmedia @rafthemaster They offer an awful service. When there was a national outage a fee weeks ago our main box coincidentally went off and stopped working. Spent nearly two hours on the phone waiting and then trying to explain our problem. We were promised a new box. Still waiting. Shocking service.

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Once our contract is up we are off from virgin media. Terrible company
