    @virginmedia someone on your 0800 number told us to ring back at 9pm, said she would be there till 10pm. Tried to call at 9 pm no one there. Disgusting customer service.

    @virginmedia can I have the customer service number to cancel my broadband.... There are seemingly better deals out there for faster services

  • wesleyddolly
    Wesley Dolly (@wesleyddolly) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia Done this when I can’t give account or anything they say can’t help you don’t think I tried this first

  • Editmonster
    Stewart Daniels (@Editmonster) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @MoneySavingExp , good morning just wondering if having no service from @virginmedia for over 20 Days is that ground to cancel with no costs

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

    @virginmedia I presume so. I was quite clear I wanted to leave Virgin as I was not happy with the services provided even though they tried to keep me as a customer. I feel Virgin are making it as difficult as possible and I am paying for it

  • GraemePuttock
    Graeme Puttock (@GraemePuttock) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia service status on your website is not correct for the N9 area. The site says no issues but CS line confirms there are issues and engineers are working on it. No useable broadband since Friday. Will we get refunds and what's the ETA on a fix?

  • wesleyddolly
    Wesley Dolly (@wesleyddolly) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia how do I get my account details if you have never emailed me or sent me and letters. I don’t even know my account number and have to wait till you text to say my bill is overdue to be able to pay my account. What the hell? Customer service is no help so wtf?

    @virginmedia It's ok for now but evenings are the worst.

    @virginmedia 16 years of loyalty means absolutely nothing to this company! Even when we were transfered to the disconnection department the woman was extremely rude! No wonder more people are going to @SkyUK 🤬

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • stuart_foy
    foy (@stuart_foy) reported from Haringey, England

    lying in bed and I've just realised I can't turn off my lights because @virginmedia has been down since I got home. this is the future, lads

  • paulstevenlewis
    Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia how do I connect to London Underground WiFi now you have turned off your own hotspots? Hopefully you are not just depriving all Virgin Media customers of the service! Especially as you are putting all your prices up!

  • Pegnarista
    Carlo (@Pegnarista) reported from Stanstead Abbotts, England

    @virginmedia You are the worst. 1. Never once asked me to DM my account details so you can look into and resolve privately. 2. Paid no attention to my first tweet, in effect advising me to continue to do the very thing I complained about telephone call after telephone call Pathetic.

  • marionmurray13
    Maz 💙 (@marionmurray13) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia I lost all services yesterday, without warning. The automated message advised that the fault would be fixed by today! I had to go through numerous teams before I could finally get to speak to someone. This same customer support agent was supposed to call me today once the fault

  • nan2thou
    PAT WEBB (@nan2thou) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia There are always issues in this area. I would suggest that most the equipment needs replacing. But I won hold my breath

  • DerrickSWB
    Derrick Brown (@DerrickSWB) reported from Lower Clapton, England

    @virginmedia Can someone advise how I fix the Wi-Fi pod which isn’t working with my new router - I had to upgrade at extra cost to receive new kit as the lead time was shorter than getting a competitor in #ThisIsWrong

  • essojohn
    Johnny Allen 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧⚒WHU (@essojohn) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @virginmedia No I have not and at no stage has any one or any virgin media Web site indicated to do so I have as stated spent hrs on the phone talking to yr people about the problem and now you suggest this I am totally fed up ringing VIRGIN MEDIA and constantly going over the same things.

  • JohnMoo99882213
    John Moore (@JohnMoo99882213) reported

    @bmstewart2004 This is exactly why I cancelled my Virgin Media subscription and moved to BT over 5 years ago. My bill went down from over £100 a month to £42 a month. When my contract is up for renewal I make contact and negotiate a deal. I am now paying £39 a month for broadband & TV package.

  • PD1_8_8_2
    PD1882 (@PD1_8_8_2) reported

    @virginmedia what’s wrong with your virgin media tv? Did an ‘update’ and now every time I turn on the tv it loads into TiVo and I have to go back to Virgin again. And now your red button for Sky sports doesn’t work. Tell me how to fix these issues, they’re maddening.

  • lizzyfmant
    Liz Vine (@lizzyfmant) reported

    @virginmedia can you please update when you plan to solve the intermittent service issue in the ME8 area. Really fed up of my internet cutting out daily. Engineer yesterday says it’s an open issue however it’s been going on weeks. Surely you should have resolved this by now?

  • vdaybabygirl85
    Krystle (@vdaybabygirl85) reported

    @virginmedia Imagine for weeks upon weeks your internet has not been working. Can't connect on chat as no data and WiFi not working. Ran out of data repeatedly and have had to top up eSims And U have the AUDACITY to say my services will be suspended for non payment. No thanks

    @virginmedia @njwoodward You say your technical teams are working actively to fix the problem!With regards do they know what they are doing as it’s been like this since yesterday and I’ll be requesting a refund for this inconvenience?

  • IainSankey
    Iain Sankey (@IainSankey) reported

    Appalled at Virgin Media @virginmedia I was paying £105 a month for a TV package and landline phone I never use. All I want is the broadband. So I try to fix this and get told that having the internet alone will cost more more than the 'improved' £65 contract for all 3 things!

  • SarkySodRyan
    Ryan (@SarkySodRyan) reported

    @virginmedia And given I'm already annoyed - don't ask me if I've switched it off and back on again. Of course I have. It still doesn't work.
