    @virginmedia a want to upgrade my account but your site hasn't let me view my options in over a week and I can't get through on the phone. Please help.

  • trippfuller trippfuller (@trippfuller) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia It's a bit offensive to send someone u cost significant income a link so they can get a fee bucks. If u just communicate sucking in advance those who count on service can arrange.

  • sh0110b8995 Stephen Honeyman (@sh0110b8995) reported from Kirkcaldy, Scotland

    @virginmedia hello I'm trying to sort out my new upgrade as I have problems with it. The customer service is closed when can I get help?

  • thelifeoftul Tullia (@thelifeoftul) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @ScottM083 @virginmedia If that’s the case then Virgin need to communicate this to their customers as the lack of communication is doing more damage than the lack of wifi at this point! 🙈

  • wshiells willie shiells (@wshiells) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia , spent 2 hours online chat with yourselves, then passed onto customer service , now 5 hours later still no response. Worst customer service out there folks

  • brucerisk bruce findlay 🟢 power to the people 🇺🇦✌ (@brucerisk) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Thank you, but, hey...they didn't fool me...just thought you should know and maybe warn others. I've had 'it' before but fortunately never been 'taken in'.

  • etjorgensen upgrade completed (@etjorgensen) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    That's virgin media back down to £30 a month from £53, all because of one call. If energy prices are going up just tell everyone you can't afford them any more and they'll soon offer a discount!

  • KSC_319 Kyle (@KSC_319) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Virgin media are the worst company in the universe to deal with

  • WendyBe54745206 Wendy Bell (@WendyBe54745206) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

  • trippfuller trippfuller (@trippfuller) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia is the worst. Three days of off and on service has cost me significant time and money.

  • lethalshirl Shirley Monteith (@lethalshirl) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Yes and there are no issues in the area so it’s something in my house - my neighbour below is also having broadband issues. I need to book an engineer to come & check connection/equipment etc but can’t get logged in to do this either on computer or phone

  • oliviamck0 olivia (@oliviamck0) reported

    @virginmedia was expecting my new router to be delivered by yodel yesterday, no sign of it, had to cancel work today, due to work from home all of next week with no wifi thanks to you. Tried to plug in my old router so I could work today, didn’t work, disgrace

  • Drcox22222 …… (@Drcox22222) reported

    @virginmedia Looks like I’ve been given a speed boost..but the Wi-Fi is slow at times it takes ages to load up some times

  • barlow99 Unique CB7 (@barlow99) reported

    @virginmedia About a couple of months I got the Wi-Fi booster pods and now it’s not working keep kicking me off of my internet and just keep flashing. I’ve reset the internet and done most things to fix it any reason why it’s not working all of a sudden?

  • halobabeee Hazel (@halobabeee) reported

    @virginmedia I’m trying via the WhatsApp option as my signal area isn’t good enough for phonecalls

  • Xxassassinzz CameronSwaby (@Xxassassinzz) reported

    @virginmedia No I check whenever it gets really bad but nothing ever shows up. When I did the speedtest I made sure I was near the box to ensure I was getting the best reading possible but it was still only near 90Mbps and I was the only person in the house at the time.

  • catfarm42 Louise Bennington (@catfarm42) reported

    @virginmedia This IS what I did, they were supposed to come yesterday, but I got a text saying they put it on hold to investigate a a network issue and would update me when this was fixed. THERE IS NO NETWORK ISSUE, why haven't I been updated?

  • Winepal_ winepal (@Winepal_) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing says the lines are down for routine maintenance been like that since Tuesday. It was out for delivery Monday then never turned up and tracking said was out for delivery yesterday then said car left at neighbours now saying waiting to receive from you.

  • sarahellenk1 SarahellenK (@sarahellenk1) reported

    @virginmedia We agreed 3 weeks ago that I could use the account for a while to go through crucial emails and forward them. The next day the account was deleted, and this has caused me no end of problems. I felt positive after this convo - not now. And I’m paying £7 per month for what?

  • NoteOfKai Note Of Kai (@NoteOfKai) reported

    @RichieUK_TTV @virginmedia @YodelOnline I'd report it down as theft at this point mate

  • jellybaby1968 Nicola Middleton (@jellybaby1968) reported

    So @Specsavers and @virginmedia seem to have zero customer service! Tried contacting both today and nothing... Zilch! Sadly shoddy service is rife these days and it is damn frustrating... #CustomerServiceIsDead
