    @virginmedia any chance you can contact me regarding my house phone which hasn’t worked for 7weeks. Have written to Sunderland and spoken to robots, and constantly get told to dial 151 which I can’t as house phone line is the problem!ty

    Hi @virginmedia after 2 weeks of repeated calls and being promised a new remote ordered each time when it wasn’t, I finally reached a customer service agent called Maciej Betnat who took the time yesterday and today to help. He is great & I want to see that this is recognised. 👏🏻

    @virginmedia Hub3.0 no problems with connection and had a few other Virgin customers say the same about connections dropping out

    @virginmedia is there a problem with email all of a sudden? It was working this morning and now when I try to send an email from Outlook or on my iPhone, I’m told my password is wrong and when I try to log onto webmail I’m told I have no password.

    @virginmedia Cannot be rectified as the services have been disconnected. I spoke with someone on Friday that said services would be reinstated within 4 hours. After 6 hours, we received nothing. Called back and basically said that call never happened and have no log of the call.

    @virginmedia hi, just wondering if your support staff are trained on identifying and handling complaints properly? So far “to express my dissatisfaction” and “I would like to complain” haven’t worked.

  • Hollz2012
    Holly McCormack 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Hollz2012) reported from Paisley, Scotland

    It seems I made a good call using the OVO priority link this morning and not one through virgin media. Joined a virtual queue of around 12,000 that took half hour and although would like to have been lower down at the gig, I can’t have many complaints. #peterkay

    @virginmedia After spending hours trying to get through to you yesterday on the phone I raised a complaint about that. Solution this morning? ‘Call us’ is this a joke? Are u so think? #dreadfulservice

  • nuttynanaannie
    Anne Marie McPhee (@nuttynanaannie) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    @virginmedia OK. That's fine . Every time I service check my broadband it tells me there's a fault in my area and its being investigated and to come back in 24 hours and it will be looked into but when I do this it just gives the same response . Its very confusing. And not very helpful at.

  • MekQuarrie
    Ian MacQuarrie (@MekQuarrie) reported from Cumbernauld, Scotland

    Anyone else experiencing terrible broadband with @virginmedia right now? Getting into a second week now... 🤷

  • bhoy_al
    Alan 🍀 (@bhoy_al) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    Never ever going with Virgin Media again. Internet has been down for nearly 24 hrs, and it's been down nearly everyday for at least 1-5 hours over the course of the last week or two.

    @virginmedia Unfortunately Gareth has been unresponsive I contacted him last Thursday nothing since then still no service 😡😡

  • LoraineRiddick2
    Loraine Riddick (@LoraineRiddick2) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia How can I phone 151 when my phone line isn’t working! And yes, I’ve dialled the 0345 number on many occasions yet still can’t speak to anyone!!no doubt I will hear from you when I cancel my direct debit and move to another supplier!

  • NorthernSaint72
    Paul Wilcox (@NorthernSaint72) reported from Barrhead, Scotland

    @virginmedia your broadband service is woeful. Every single day for months it goes off. Stuck in a contract that does not provide the service we pay for. All we are told there is an issue in our area. You won’t have any customers here soon.

  • donmackeen
    don mackeen (@donmackeen) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia The service checker tells me either nothing, or - as in the screenshot - something completely contradictory. There is no way to communicate with anyone and yet, strangely enough, you still charge me for a service which only works intermittently.

    Another two tries today. One I had to give up after 55 minutes waiting, now on 44 minutes. Seriously @virginmedia you are now a joke. Was just going to cancel my TV, I am seriously looking up Broadband alternatives while on hold.

    @virginmedia Hi I’m desperate to talk to someone regarding my broadband as it’s cancelling but I need it to continue. I cannot get through on WhatsApp, phone or through the chat. Can you help this is critical for me. I’m a long term customer and have been on hold for two days!

  • SiGallagher
    Simon Gallagher (@SiGallagher) reported

    @virginmedia How about 2.5 hours? Fix your website and app servers!! If you’re using AI coding or agents to run it, you need to stop, the whole thing is broken. I’m paying for this customer service as part of my package and getting no support at all

  • shooter1981
    Stuart Layton (@shooter1981) reported

    @virginmedia how do I get in contact with you??? Awful experience so far. Over 2 hours on hold so far, online chat kicks me out. Not even been able to activate my account or install equipment and now unable to cancel. Glad I won’t be proceeding with you !!

    Cheryl Chau (@CherylChau1029) reported

    @VirginMedia Help! 🚨 24hr+ OUTAGE and billing error (£33.99 quote vs £78 email). Waited 2 hours on phone with no answer. Fix this or I will cancel under the 14-day cooling-off period. #VirginMedia #CustomerService

    Hi @virginmedia my account has been locked and I’ve been trying to contact support for over 3 hours with no response. I urgently need help because I’m trying to set up my new WiFi device. Calls are not being answered either. Terrible customer service 👎
