    @virginmedia So that’s it. We’re still no closer to solving this issue than we were when it went down at the beginning of the week. Absolutely dreadful service.

    Richard Gendal Brown (@gendal) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your help but this is a problem only Three can sort! Their new system works where it’s deployed. The problem is that they haven’t deployed it everywhere - eg Elizabeth Line.

    @virginmedia hey. I’m having problems with my tv. Your status says it will be fixed by 20th December. That’s not good enough. It’s Leeds v Arsenal today and I need to watch it. Any updates? London N4

  • drewerydyke
    Drewery **** (@drewerydyke) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia That is the box that appears *after* clicking to register loss of service. See top line:”problem registering loss of service”. System apparently designed to avoid and flaws being found in it. Old capitalist adage:”the provider is always right”😜😎

    Our @virginmedia internet goes down ALL THE TIME and it's been off for over a week and I'm nearly out of data so with my dying breath I curse Richard Branson.

    How ******** do I find #StarTrekDiscovery on @PlutoTV??? I have the app on my virgin media box but can't find Discovery. Is it only on at certain times, so if I miss it I can't watch it? It's not an easy platform to navigate

  • goonerlgh
    Lawrence ****** 🇺🇦 (@goonerlgh) reported from Islington, England

    @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!

  • IzO_TTV
    IzO (@IzO_TTV) reported

    @virginmedia You have literally the most infuriating customer service process known to the entire universe. I cannot wait to be out of this Devil spawn of a contract. I actually pray for the down fall of this company with a passion. Zero interest in customer needs just straight aggressive sales tactics. Get out of my life seriously.

  • rising_lefty
    A-A-RON (@rising_lefty) reported

    @j_ball13 @virginmedia They were awful when my nan died. I told them so they could cancel everything, sent proof and still tried to charge each month.

  • TomQuante
    Tom Quante (@TomQuante) reported

    @virginmedia You won't answer your phone (apparently this is a tactic you use..?) and I am not paying my increased bill. Cancelled my DD with you so I will let you chase me instead. Your customer service is still terrible

  • KarlDyer15
    Karl Dyer (@KarlDyer15) reported

    To work for @virginmedia you don’t need a brain cell, maybe the worst company in the UK I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Avoid them at all costs

  • iainsykes2014
    Iain Sykes (@iainsykes2014) reported

    @virginmedia appalling service, since I logged a complaint over a week ago, no one has responded at all. I even messaged you via X and the conversation on your side has run dry.

  • realpalmtrees11
    me (@realpalmtrees11) reported

    @virginmedia is there an issue in the sg1 area please? Our broadband has been woeful all day.

  • tcevasive
    Evasive (@tcevasive) reported

    will exitlag work for lower MS for eu if i have bad routing because of virgin media?

  • B1yth3y
    gary blythe (@B1yth3y) reported

    @virginmedia hi, wrote to you a few days ago, spoke to customer services via dm and halfway through conversation no one got back to me so basically cut off before query was sorted.

  • 306notout
    Matt Fowler (@306notout) reported

    Abysmal service from @virginmedia today, no problem I’ll source broadband from @VodafoneUK instead. 👋👋

  • ravipal1214
    Ravi Pal (@ravipal1214) reported

    @virginmedia customer. Activated 24 July on Gig1. Nine days in: WiFi works in one floor of my house, upload is 40% below spec on router, I’ve been told I cannot order the equipment needed to fix it. 90 minutes on chat today produced a £5 offer and a suggestion that I cancel. Detail below. 🧵
