    @gashead @virginmedia Bizarre that it’s not actually Kelly causing an issue yet they’re being very helpful for me! Unfortunately not sorted! Honestly lost all faith in it being resolved. Never had such an issue trying to get an answer from a company. Hope you get sorted too!

    @virginmedia Already done that 4 times and got nowhere. I need someone who can help to actually call back as promised.

    @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?

    @virginmedia This is boring. I’ll reach out to third parties to resolve my account issue.

    @virginmedia Unbelievably shockingly bad customer support today. 1hr 25 mins on the phone, spoke to 7 agents and no resolution 2 of your agents were excellent the rest were appaling. As a long standing customer I feel I have no option but to change provider. #virginfail

    @virginmedia I've tried both of those. I was going to restart the router and see if that made any difference. Appreciate the help 👍🏼

    tim (@Claydon8Tim) reported from Hitchin, England

    @virginmedia I have been forced to work from home and work internationally. For the past 48hrs your WiFi has been down in Hertfordshire. Completely. Have been unable to work and have thus lost money. Get a costumer service that works or I will take my business elsewhere

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

  • lutonmagoo
    Big E (@lutonmagoo) reported from Caddington, England

    @virginmedia Yes conveniently he said we cannot run a test on the service at the moment because there is no service and it’s crap and doesn’t work

  • Rebeccadundon1

    Hey @virginmedia I've been on hold for 20 minutes and I'm losing the will to live. Need help with WiFi password

    Jake Kirby (@848Jake) reported from Toddington, England

    @virginmedia The issue has been random and, with typical timing, I can’t find it right now so I guess you can’t help.

    @virginmedia Hub which they said will take 3 days!! 🙄🙈😡 I have had a catalogue of issues with Virgin over the years. I expect some recompense & I don't mean the '£8 after 48 hours has passed' insult I was told today. Been with Virgin since you took over NTL. Where's the customer loyalty?

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

    @virginmedia Router WiFi connection is so unstable people are about to throw them out their windows!! Might be worth moving to @VodafoneUK to get a better price and service? #VirginMedia has been truly awful recently

  • xArtik
    RVNS Artik - Marcos (@xArtik) reported from Milton Keynes, England

    @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.

  • LisaYidetteWHL
    Lisa 😺🛍⚽️💃💅✌🥦🥕🌽 (@LisaYidetteWHL) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    More **** with @Virginmedia - Paying well over £100 a month and now can't get any internet connection and cannot work from home! So I will not be paid. After hanging on for an eternity they say 3 days till a new hub can be sent out! Disgrace. That won't pay my bills 😡😡😡

  • Dan_lutonbear
    dan@randrhotrodimports (@Dan_lutonbear) reported from Luton, England

    @virginmedia Same as usual. Bots. Round and round in circles I want to cancel virgin media. Maybe you will contact me when I cancel any further direct debit payment 😡😡😡

    @virginmedia Thanks for trying. Three Exec Dept people in the last 10 days promised to call me back after initial calls - none have. I have put it all in an e-mail against what I believe is my reference number. I want the mobile internet service you've arranged to work.

  • sianhelena_m
    Sian Milner (@sianhelena_m) reported from Hitchin, England

    @virginmedia Is anyone actually reading my tweets… I’ve called 10+ times and no one seems able to help!? Apparently no one here can either…

    Yo @virginmedia can you sort your issues out? Every time I bloody watch TV it keeps shouting there’s a connection problem when there isn’t as it’s broadcasting tv normally and keeps blocking my screen

    doozerlyn (@doozerlyn) reported

    @virginmedia Why are you fixing everyone's red button issue on 28th August?? Mine says its going to be done at 1008 hours that day??? All engineers off till then or something else???

  • _lliesl_
    Liesl_ (@_lliesl_) reported

    This is not a *me* problem I went into an O2 store who told me that there was a known issue with the O2/Virgin media set up. I do not care. I expect to be able to access my account. I expect to be able to take the offer to change my tariff

  • Chris4RAFC

    @Smallworth_xx @virginmedia my son had the same problem but lucky he went to the Wycombe match on Saturday but tonight had to watch it via the sky sports app as he is with Virgin too, luckily I am with sky and could watch my team Saturday on the red button and i watched a game tonight and no issues

  • APTSArchive
    APTS Archive (@APTSArchive) reported

    @virginmedia we notified you in early July that we would be moving on 31st. You deemed our new address as unserviceable & therefore there would be no early termination fee & to return the kit to you. I have made in excess of 10 phone calls with your moving home team - amount to several hours getting contradictory information every time I've phoned, depending on who I spoke with. On Wednesday you took £1,070 from our bank account, causing us to become overdrawn, despite assurances from your moving home team that there was an extension on our account in order to give us time to return the kit, & no early termination fee would be charged. The kit was returned to you on Wednesday morning. Upon phoning yesterday (yet again), I was dealt with someone that might as well have been a robot, he's inability to listen & constant repeating set phrases over & over again was of little help & particularly annoying. You have made the issue of moving home particularly difficult and stressful, which for a company of your size I find inexcusable. I emailed your moving home team on Tuesday & yesterday yet have still not received a reply, despite being told in a phone call my email would be dealt with as a matter or urgency! I'm resorting to public exposure in the vain hope there will be some action & you will expedite this matter.

    @virginmedia my wireless router was upgraded by you because it was old. Installed new & now have less wifi coverage at my home than before. Engineer attends & recommends 2 boosters, have now spoken to customer services on several occasions & made a complaint but still waiting !!

  • GazzaAdams
    Gary Adams (@GazzaAdams) reported

    @UKDan86 @virginmedia I have read the T&Cs, Dan. Working from home isn't the basis of my complaint — paying for a broadband service that's been repeatedly intermittent for four weeks is. Virgin Media themselves acknowledge an ongoing fault. Whether I use my connection for work, Netflix or watching cat videos is irrelevant to expecting the service I'm paying for to actually work.

  • johngunn2
    johngunn (@johngunn2) reported

    @virginmedia @CliveR39 The last time I checked a couple of days ago it gave an estimated fix of 28th August. Which considering it’s been at least a week since it went down is a considerable length of time to not receive the service we’re paying for.
