    @virginmedia your service checker isn’t working. Can you please advise of service issues in the N1 area as the broadband has gone down again? Thank you.

    @virginmedia I’m going to get disciplined in work as I don’t have internet connection. Who can my employer speak with to confirm this is a virgin issue??

    @virginmedia still no answers and no broadband - can someone help !? I’m working from home and it’s so frustrating

    @virginmedia I’ve already terminated my service with you since you were unable to get it installed in less than a month.

    @BBCWatchdog I was without TV service with Virgin Media for over a week this month, could only use chat bot, eventually a live chat with a person because I took to twitter, but they couldn't help me either. Still waiting for the comp form they said would come automatically.

    @virginhelp @MistryMistry21 @virginmedia Virgin Media give really poor customer service. I’ve been waiting over 14 hours? It feels like your customer service team is a team of 1

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia 14 hour wait for a response on your chat bot and I still haven’t passed security. That’s some service

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia How long is due course? I’ve already spent hours on this issue with no resolution. I started this chat conversation on Wednesday 1st February. Wouldn’t you agree the customer service from Virgin is woeful?

    @virginmedia Do you, or could you make a TV box remote for the elderly? Tiny buttons with tinier symbols instead of words, black buttons on black body.... Almost impossible for some older people to use. An OAP version with larger coloured buttons would be such a help!

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

    Hello @virginmedia I get that things break sometimes. Do you think there’s a way you cld keep customers informed about how long it might take to fix it? I’ve tried your status page which tells me both that there’s no issue in our area and also that there is an issue . .

    @virginmedia If you were sorry, this issues was fixed long time ago…

    @virginmedia Please as I have been paying for service

    Or #virginmedia wiping the Wi-Fi network name every other month on the 2G and 5G saaaaaaaaaake

    Steven Peterson 🏳️‍🌈 (@squeakytoy) reported from Islington, England

    I called @virginmedia back and they are now saying they won’t be able to install my internet until February 15th, a month after they sent me the modem. They’ve already activated my account and are charging me, but are telling me that shouldn’t have happened and they can’t fix it.

  • emmalouchu
    Emma Churcher-Holt (@emmalouchu) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia No, I have TV service only and the live chat agent said I would get the compensation form.

    @virginmedia what is the number for your complaints department? It seems impossible to actually terminate my contract with you. Am I in the Hotel California?

    @virginmedia Absolutely despicable. My elderly parents had problems too when they first signed up to them, then they had to navigate their call centre speak from India to resolve it. They're not that good and don't care

  • enquiriesdesk
    Lol B (@enquiriesdesk) reported

    @Benleo Virgin Media are honestly useless. Hours and hours wasted on the phone over the years, nothing ever fixed. Staff seem completely incompetent. At one point I was so stressed I thought I was having a heart attack. Shocking service.

  • ArsenalInjuries
    Arsenal Mark (@ArsenalInjuries) reported

    @Benleo Sadly that experience is not exclusive to @virginmedia @skytv are exactly the same, their customer service is also non existent, they care little for the customer and have no regard for customer loyalty or satisfaction. #skytv

    Hey @virginmedia we just took out a new contract with you, had our box fitted on Friday, reprogrammed on Saturday due to an outage. Now we've just gone over 24 hours with no internet or TV yet again and the fix times constantly being pushed back. What's your cancellation period?

    Since this day AppStore asks me for password every time I want to get any app and i coild swaer- its like- another App store site is opening. But Apple explains: all is good. I don't think so. If Apple cannot help, police doesn't care,Virgin media couldn't get anything: is there anyone in this world who knows what ******** is on? Or gypsy hacker is the cyber-master of the whole world?

    @Benleo @virginmedia My experience last week…..after leaving Virgin Media 2 years ago, and switching to City Fibre (Braw Band). I inadvertently cut my external cable, cutting my hedge. Phoned up, - spoke to a real person first time. They came out next morning at 8.10 and replaced my cable. SERVICE!
