    Hey @virginmedia, can you help please? I’ve never plugged a landline phone to my router since becoming a customer. (I never needed one til now). So I just took the voip/landline adapter out the box and it’s broken. How do I get a new one so that I can plug in a landline? Thanks.

    Alan Lappin (@GiggsyBlantyre) reported from Hamilton, Scotland

    Here @virginmedia - any idea of some suggestions please, on how to contact your complaints/Customer Relations Team about a complaint I’ve submitted? Tried phoning, passed from pillar to post in the sub-continent, and getting nowhere. Two words: NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

    @virginmedia Email sent hopefully I will get a speedy resolution. Another 40 minutes of my time wasted!!

  • seawxy
    rach ✨ (@seawxy) reported from Motherwell, Scotland

    @virginmedia no, i’ve not received a resolution. someone contacted me regarding the complaint, then when i responded, they have just ignored it. the complaint is regarding incorrect billing and poor customer service.

  • oletalk
    Colin M (@oletalk) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    What's going on with @virginmedia broadband just now? Just managed to find out on 150 that they seem to be doing (emergency?) maintenance of some sort. Is this how they justify "returning to the office"?! 🤪

  • tofolo_1
    David A (@tofolo_1) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia how do I contact the help team? Recently joined and trying to setup billing / online account says to call you. But 0345 is 30p a minute. Can't find webchat, can't find text thing, don't have a live landline yet. I can access the dark web easier!

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

    @virginmedia Thanks. I'll try that. When I do a status check it flags Tivo right away but shows no issues with broadband or phone when I then run a broadband check it says there's an intermittent fault in my area. !

    @virginmedia What is going on with your customer care(?) line? I call 789, I get an automated voice telling me that calls are not being connected to this number and I'm told to call 789 to speak to a member of the team, so i call 789, I get an automated voice.........!!!!!!!!!!!!

    @virginmedia I’ve phoned numerous times and had to hang up as constantly kept waiting, but will try again this evening when it might be easier to speak to someone

    That Glasgow Florida Family🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈 (@GlasgowThat) reported from Cambuslang, Scotland

    Virgin Media @virginmedia should be investigated by Ofcom they are taking money from people while not supplying a service. They are providing a substandard service when the do supply it. Major areas of Glasgow no internet until Jan 5th. Do not join this company they are the worst

    David (@DRoss215) reported from Paisley, Scotland

    @virginmedia I have never experienced such shocking service on the telephone for 150 mins still not resolved. I have 2 properties in the one block I requested one of them to be disconnected! VM disconnected both the tenant is now screaming at me as she works from home 😡😡

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @virginmedia @JohnMac22756388 I got the same text and haven’t reported any issue

  • KevinMuldoon
    Kevin Muldoon (@KevinMuldoon) reported

    @virginmedia has to be the worst ISP in the UK. Currently raising a CISAS complaint against them due to how they're terrorirising my elderly mother. May have to take this to small claims too as it's impossible to speak to any UK staff who can resolve anything.

  • 4peterborough
    🇬🇧 Andy🇬🇧 (@4peterborough) reported

    @virginmedia A recent software update for Virgin TV 360 and Stream boxes intentionally changed the startup behavior so the box now boots directly to the Home screen instead of the last watched channel. This update aims to give you quicker access to your apps, recordings, and recommendations. It's all a social media. Everyone hates it. Do you take feedback from? Your customer

  • wanna_be_dj
    Matty M (@wanna_be_dj) reported

    @ryantegan @skytv My renewal offer from @virginmedia kept going down. Ended up getting it for £75 a month for all channels, 1gb internet and 2 boxes.

    @moonpeach212 @virginmedia Hey, VM will not sort anything out. I have spent so much time trying to sort out my issue as O2 failed to apply my Volt benefit. VM claims they have done everything while O2 claim they are waiting for VM confirmation. They drag the issue out hoping you will go away

  • Msenior89Senior

    @virginmedia absolute joke of a service, cant watch the rugby league again!! When are you going to sort out these issues its beyond a joke!

  • Find_truth4all
    The Great Socrates (@Find_truth4all) reported

    @virginmedia This new 360 box update forcing the home screen on startup is terrible. Give us an option to boot straight to live TV!

    @o2 @virginmedia @Virgin CEO LUTZ SCHUELER seems only your bot accounts actually care about the customer

  • smith_john33910
    John smith (@smith_john33910) reported

    @LordDunners @ryantegan @skytv When I wanted to cancel Virgin Media they would not let me. I had to force a cancellation by withholding payment. Yes I got rid of Virgin Media..but it left a nasty “non payment” black mark on my credit rating. So beware!
