    @virginmedia “Have you checked for any issues in your area” No I have not checked that link. It is intermittent; one minute it is useable and next the internet service is missing; it is regular occurrence, happens almost daily!?

    @DarkDroid__ @Jukeyz @virginmedia I have Hyperoptic and really is the way. Takes literally minutes to get all activated & never had any issues in 8 months with it.

    @virginmedia Busy? I've been fighting allday since 9am. I've paid agreed amount but my services haven't been restored and I can't get through by text, WhatsApp or phone. This isnt a good service a vulnerable customer should receive

  • mrmarkgale
    Mark Gale (@mrmarkgale) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia Honestly, do you think 2.92mb when I'm paying for 500mb is acceptable. Been a customer for 20 years, I can't wait to leave you!

  • PaulswainDJ
    Paul Swain (@PaulswainDJ) reported from Kings Langley, England

    @virginmedia I’ve given up for tonight. I’m struggling to deal with a company that has lied on record and taken money wrongfully out of my account. @MartinSLewis help!

  • ushererofsouls

    @virginmedia Hi. I can see there’s an ongoing issue with the TV in my area with fix date of 1600hrs 25th. This has been going on for over a week now & the blips/surges through the box & it constantly resetting is becoming really annoying & has even taken the wifi out sometimes.

    James Cunningham (@jamescun) reported from London Colney, England

    @doismellburning @danpalmer I have a self-hosted box with DigitalOcean in London. My use case is isolation from local networks and ISP privacy (I know I’m just moving the problem, but I trust DO more than Virgin Media). For those cases, VPN providers are a haven for data collection, so no.

    Dear @virginmedia Congratulations for the worst possible Customer Service going. Been hung up on twice. You don't deserve to be in business

  • sjdhatters
    I Make Stuff Up On Tw*tter (@sjdhatters) reported from Stoke Mandeville, England

    @virginmedia I refer back to my original tweet. Zero attempt to resolve my issue. Just can't do it. Your solution is not acceptable to me or new owner. Can you please provide details on how to escalate this to a complaint? What if I cancel DD and then set up new DD with new owner details?

  • EnriqueGuadiz
    Enrique Guadiz (@EnriqueGuadiz) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia WiFi is an absolute total **** of a service! Reliable WiFi With the hub 5 bullshit! Should be thrown out of the window! No WiFi /service in HP2!

  • GeoRog7
    Geo 🍍 (@GeoRog7) reported from Milton Keynes, England

    @virginmedia I agree they wont but if you see the loss i am getting of -82dbm from being 7 metres away surely a pod will expand coverage into that area with the poor signal strength? If i stand next door to the router i get my expected speeds - thanks

  • vision_e_media
    Vision Elite Media (@vision_e_media) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @virginmedia how can you customer service offer me a new contract £25 more than a new customer contract and then try blame the current economical situation?!?! Aren’t we all in the same economical situation new or existing customers?

  • sjdhatters
    I Make Stuff Up On Tw*tter (@sjdhatters) reported from Stoke Mandeville, England

    @virginmedia That's ridiculous. It's a business. Internet is critical. Thats not an acceptable solution

    Craig R 🇹🇩🌹 (@craigr98_2016) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia I’m on a sim only deal with you recently taken it out, but looks like I have under estimated how much data I need is it possible to switch to a higher data plan? And then if not needed move back down?

    John B 💙🤍🔥💥🚴‍♂️⛷⭐️🇪🇺💫☄️ (@JB_CFFire) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @biggle1908 Been with virgin media since it used to be cabletel 40 yrs ago nearly ... Service is good but if you have a problem your knackered unless you speak Urdu !!!

  • MattOfTheSouth
    Matt ⚡️ (@MattOfTheSouth) reported

    @virginmedia any reason why I can't get gig2 as a gig1 customer? Is it only available to new customers? Ridiculous if so. Postcode checker says it's available on my postcode if I was to order a new package?

  • GW_Mktg
    GW 🔰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@GW_Mktg) reported

    Second guess, for @virginmedia… the classic ‘cut the wrong wire’ then a lot of head scratching to work out where the problem was?

  • NC20023
    Rob Cur (@NC20023) reported

    @O2 why oh why have you made it so damned difficult to login to my account now that Virgin Media are involved ! All I want to do is login to my account the old fashioned way without the need to check my email, return to the original page etc…..

  • CorkinDawn
    dawnieC (@CorkinDawn) reported

    @virginmedia I already said i did status check which is estimating 5.08pm fix. My point was text says should be fixed shortly. I dont consider 9hours being shortly. Why does this happen more often now? You are no longer reliable any more 🙁

  • Navigator429
    The Navigator (@Navigator429) reported

    @virginmedia hi. I am an ex customer of yours but it seems my account is still active. I keep getting emails alerting me to someone trying to log into my account. How do I request my account to be deleted? You shouldn’t hold an active account for me if I’m not a live customer.

  • Adam_Golightly
    Adam Golightly (@Adam_Golightly) reported

    @virginmedia tactics again charging elderly mother in law £149 a month basic TV pack 1 hour on phone 2 sort tried sort own pack after 17 years with virgin kept on hold for another 30 mins before hanging up and didnt call me back. Disgusting company customer service practices.

  • CarlDifford
    Carl Difford (@CarlDifford) reported

    Hey @virginmedia - work on your customer service training. Renewed my contract this morning, then a salesman rings me this afternoon trying to sell me an upgrade. When I told him I’d just sorted my package, he simply cut me off without a further word! Good day to you, too, sir.
