    @virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too

    @virginmedia We have two VM boxes for collection as we have already left your network. Can you please arrange for someone to disconnect and collect them? Thanks in anticipation.

    @virginmedia The link asks me to log in which I do, then it shows me my contract etc, I can either fill a form in for someone to contact me but I’ve did it before or it shows the complaint as been closed

    Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia I’ve sorted the problem I think. Or maybe until the next time it goes off. I’ve disconnected coax cable etc and blew them clean and tightened them back up and done a speed test and it’s up to 365mb download speed. Hopefully this has fixed problem

    Hi @virginmedia, I have recently signed up for your WiFi package. However the Webpage when I try to register for a My Virgin Media account appears to be broken. Is there any other way to register for an account online? Thank you

    @virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

    @katiexmiddleton @virginmedia VM is big in my area for internet but the last house I was in could only have TalkTalk. When I moved, I just transferred my address over instead of moving across to VM. The trouble you’ve, and everybody else it seems, had makes me glad I did! I’ve not had an issue with TT once!

    @MelJanie @virginmedia Virgin are diabolical do not bother at all, woeful customer service levels zero information given and just as good internet speeds found at better company’s

  • Borgle1
    M-O-O-N (@Borgle1) reported

    @caz_fizz @MelJanie @virginmedia Virgin are terrible now. Since the Welsh and North East staff were laid off. The overseas workers are untrained and promise the earth but deliver nothing and cause hours of phone calls for issues that could and should be solved in 3 minutes.

  • KumbullaMonty
    Monty Kumbulla (@KumbullaMonty) reported

    @virginmedia What are the chances of a very-light-use customer that has been with you for THIRTY YEARS getting a deal at the same cost as a brand new customer?

  • helenxbedford
    Helen Bedford (@helenxbedford) reported

    @virginmedia Hello! I have an engineer visit booked but it’s not on the app. I’ve raised a complaint about that but my complaint isn’t on the app. I started a live chat and was asked to move it to WhatsApp’s, but didn’t receive any comms. How can I get any response from Virgin?

  • PaulOBrienKil
    Paul O'Brien (@PaulOBrienKil) reported

    @VMSportIE I strongly urge anyone thinking of subscribing to @virginmedia to NOT do it. Took over a hour to get through to customer service & they still won't fix their mistake. Shambles of an organisation.

    @virginmedia @LucyW1972 Why is no one dealing with customer service complaints. For one month now I have emailed, messaged called but still your equipment has not been sorted. Paddy Sweeney
