    @virginmedia Busy? I've been fighting allday since 9am. I've paid agreed amount but my services haven't been restored and I can't get through by text, WhatsApp or phone. This isnt a good service a vulnerable customer should receive

  • maggietodd10 maggie.todd@live.co. (@maggietodd10) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England

    @virginmedia Landline is still NOT working. Try ringing yourself.

  • maggietodd10 maggie.todd@live.co. (@maggietodd10) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England

    @virginmedia We can’t use landline because of fault. Tried mobile - no response. We shouldn’t have to keep reporting. You know there is a problem. Fix it please.

  • DawnHar90476836 🦄 UnicornFarts641🦄 LegitBossQueen69🦄 (@DawnHar90476836) reported from Luton, England

    @virginmedia Your agent was also very rude yet reckoned I couldn't make a complaint.

  • DarylSThompson DarylSThompson (@DarylSThompson) reported from Harpenden, England

    @virginmedia no updates since 15:30 is really quite poor...

  • KevinSaunders23 Kefaloniaman23 (@KevinSaunders23) reported from Flitwick, England

    @virginmedia just how much longer can we be expected to wait for you to get this problem sorted no TV all day, will this loss see us getting some sort of refund on our next bill???

  • moffmark Mark (@moffmark) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @virginmedia So VM, I’ve been ‘talking’ to Andi BOT for the past 90 minutes and it says wait times are over 15mins but ‘it’ has been saying this for over an hour!! There’s only so many times I can reset the damn router to try and improve wifi! Really regretting leaving @SkyUK atm

  • TriciaCaputo Patricia Rayney Ⓥ (@TriciaCaputo) reported from Luton, England

    @virginmedia We have business broadband and received an email saying that there was a planned outage in our area. As we are due to give a live broadcast soon we need to know if the work has been completed.

  • TimRead1971 Tim Read (@TimRead1971) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @virginmedia services might have come back as per your update (terrestrial ones) but they’re now not working again. Channels now ‘not authorised’. How about some proper action and updates.

  • NikLane7 Nik Lane (@NikLane7) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @TheStevieG123 @virginmedia I had a similar issue with EE (plus the phone wasn't a good enough upgrade for the money!) I sent it back within 14 days and got a sim only. 5g prob won't be worthwhile over here for some time yet

  • PigsIggle Iggle Piggle Guinea Pigs (@PigsIggle) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England

    @virginmedia service is rubbish , I pay £90 a month for flms to buffer every 3 seconds ..so frustrating

  • DawnHar90476836 🦄 UnicornFarts641🦄 LegitBossQueen69🦄 (@DawnHar90476836) reported from Luton, England

    @virginmedia Very angry. And upset. Been at this since 9am today. And its such awful customer service. I will be looking for new provider

  • maggietodd10 maggie.todd@live.co. (@maggietodd10) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England

    @virginmedia This problem was reported 11th November 2021. You promised to correct the problem by 18th November.

  • DarylSThompson DarylSThompson (@DarylSThompson) reported from Harpenden, England

    @virginmedia @kamikaz3Topnam Wow, that may be one of the worst responses I've seen...

  • ERS_SteveG SteveG@ERS (@ERS_SteveG) reported from Toddington, England

    @skytv very poor service when switching to your service. Currently left without broadband for 2 weeks due to a BT Engineer not being able to go up a ladder to fit a cable! Regret leaving @virginmedia

  • nicholasjemetta Nicholas Jemetta (@nicholasjemetta) reported from Hitchin, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to help my mother-in-law who’s a registered cater, with her broadband. Her wi-fi signal is very patchy and it’s causing her problems (plus unnecessary extra stress). She has a Hub 3; can she get a Hub 4 without upgrading to Gig 1?

  • JB_CFFire John B 💙🤍🔥💥🚴‍♂️⛷⭐️🇪🇺💫☄️ (@JB_CFFire) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @Paulos_the_fog @virginmedia Because of home working I upgraded to 350mbps package and was getting that until a few months ago measured using a variety of apps - now it’s down to 80 consistently.

  • jasondflynn Jason Flynn 💙 (@jasondflynn) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England

    @virginmedia It’s not specific to me; and to be honest I’m not really bothered. The problem is your marketing 5G phones in areas that don’t have 5G which is affectively mis-selling. Probably something you should look into.

  • JB_CFFire John B 💙🤍🔥💥🚴‍♂️⛷⭐️🇪🇺💫☄️ (@JB_CFFire) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @Paulos_the_fog @virginmedia Yes, that is a problem but I may be able to log into the router. Thanks for your help.

  • johnvasili1 VAS (@johnvasili1) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @virginmedia Again why send me a bill when I'm no longer a customer

    @virginmedia Your resolution provided was embarrassing please let me know how I can escalate this further beyond the complaints team

  • Juckylim Stuart (@Juckylim) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. No luck. Followed the link to sign into my account, clicked on the help for tv box, just took me through the same routine I've done several times. Ended with the message 'sorry we cannot help you at this time, try again later'. No option of a Web chat. 🙄

  • Ruth21ski Ruth Burns-price (@Ruth21ski) reported

    @virginmedia And so there you have it cable guys come tried 3 times and the 2nd blockage was never sorted out properly and yet again not checked that it was clear and ready for the cable guys. Absolute joke so I reckon another month unless someone really licks off and gets this sorted.

  • K90Missy Missy_K90 (@K90Missy) reported

    @virginmedia Its not even about just causing offence. If customers are coming and asking for extentions or help with their bills do you really think its reasonable to suggest they get themselves in even more debt to pay you?

  • matthiggo matthiggo (@matthiggo) reported

    @virginmedia how do I speak to someone about my broadband and tv installation? It’s meant to be today and heard nothing. When I call customer services it asks for my virgin landline number or account number - I don’t have either of them as I’m a completely new customer?

  • iainraelennox Iain Rae Lennox (@iainraelennox) reported

    @virginmedia Can you confirm there is an issue in G68 9NF and that someone is actually looking at this issue? I just keep getting the same automated message saying it will be fixed by a specific time? Thanks.

  • BrightonCrouch Tim Crouch (@BrightonCrouch) reported

    @virginmedia A Hub 3. As it’s old I suggested maybe a new hub would help, but they didn’t agree to this. We work from home and rely on good WiFi, and to be honest are at our wits’ end. We just need it to work.

  • Xergal Dan Muir🌻 (@Xergal) reported

    For three hours, @virginmedia, my internet is down. I'm unable to work. Can you tell me how much longer I'm faced with waiting please? I am tethering to my phone & it has incredibly spotty reception.

  • ritirishi Riti Rishi (@ritirishi) reported

    .@virginmedia by far the worst #CustomerService I have experienced. I've spoken to 11 different people today and have been cut off every time. They will not allow me to make a complaint. Outrageous. Poor. Cancel my contract!!!
