    @virginmedia please tell me how to speak to someone in your organisation! I can’t get through on line as it doesn’t recognise me even though you bill me and your phone system won’t allow me to speak to anyone. Customer service is diabolical.

    @virginmedia I just want to report an open cabinet on my street, and it's hard work, I don't want to sign up to your "community" as I have tried now twice and had to do the damn not a robot thing both times which takes ages and it says my email is not valid

  • NikkiPearman

    @virginmedia I have an issue with my wifi signal being weak upstairs - until last 2 mths it was perfectly fine. However it’s impossible to speak with anyone - I don’t want the automated system or a broadband check as service is fine it’s just range. Unhappy customer

  • sarjeantm01
    Michael Sarjeant (@sarjeantm01) reported from Burton upon Trent, England

    @virginmedia We have an engineer booked for Monday but I don't believe this is really acceptable with the amount of money we pay each month we should be able to expect a service which works, I understand there will be issues but over 3 hours later nothing?

  • andyvic7
    Andy Picken (@andyvic7) reported from Walton upon Trent, England

    @drummerwhitey @virginmedia Not sure if you’ve done this Steve but when I had issues and no joy I slated them on here every 10 minutes, they finally pulled me into a private chat room and I got things sorted

  • Neilelse1974
    Neil else (@Neilelse1974) reported from Chellaston, England

    @virginmedia I need to book an engineer visit, meant to work from home but can’t due to your broadband. Have tried everything advised but nothing .. 1.35mb download please help !

  • pdenno
    Paul Dennison (@pdenno) reported from Beeston, England

    @virginmedia why call me twice today, tell me I am a valued customer (22 yrs) and offer me a broadband speed not yet available in my area!! Once again a waste of my time and yours. I would feel more valued if you call and offer me a small saving on my monthly bill! 🤔

  • gaz_smith123
    Gareth Smith (@gaz_smith123) reported from Ilkeston, England

    Area 30 has been having issues for a week now but @virginmedia still won’t admit there’s an issue - according to them everything is just fine & working perfectly! #virginmediadown #virginmedia #ilkeston #area30

    Productivity nearly at zero today because @virginmedia been off for nearly 24 hours 🙃 came on for 1 hour and now no service again! ...not I rely on the internet for work or anything 🤔 🙄🤬

  • derbytrim
    John Byrne 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@derbytrim) reported from Belper, England

    @virginmedia poor customer service i can't cancel my contract online and cant get through on the phone after 30 minutes waiting , ironic for a media company.

  • e2mrk_mark
    Mark Smith (@e2mrk_mark) reported from Sandiacre, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia so not only have virgin hiked my bill to £49.00... I’ve had no phone line for 12 months.. it cost me over £4.00 on my mobile to phone them. How does that work Virgin? Appalling service.

  • lee0510
    Lee Smith (@lee0510) reported from Ilkeston, England

    @virginmedia I cannot contact you by phone, your site will not allow me to sign in as my email is not available, clearly it wasn’t deleted from previous account so I can not see internet status or report faults. My Wi-Fi is intermittent, not working as I type reply.

  • breadf2man
    Fazal Rehman (@breadf2man) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia I checked last night, it was stuck at the same place it was 3 weeks ago, that is why I raised another complaint about my complaint

    @virginmedia need to sort their shit out, we’ve had shitty on off WiFi for months now 🙄🙄

    @virginmedia Hi. Nobody has phoned or sent a text to my parents and there phone internet and tv is still not working. They have to keep topping up there mobile credit and nobody answers there calls

  • 64derby
    paul (@64derby) reported from Duffield, England

    @virginmedia just installed virgin broadband 350 today ! only getting 5 mbps in my study.. phoned customers services for a booster to be told none in stock and phone back in 2 weeks.. took me over an hour to speak to a person in India who couldn’t help

  • neilmjohnson72
    Neil Johnson (@neilmjohnson72) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia You need to sort your customer service out, it is absolutely disgraceful. Your technical team are ignorant and hang calls up without situation. You are getting dumped!

  • acmtix
    𝘼𝙙𝙖𝙢🐰 (@acmtix) reported from Eastwood, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have contacted Virginmedia a couple of times. It looks like there is a problem in Nottingham NG16 area again. This is a common issue. Disconnections and lack of a quality service.

  • acmtix
    𝘼𝙙𝙖𝙢🐰 (@acmtix) reported from Eastwood, England

    @Louise4Mh @virginmedia You wait till they try and rip you off by allowing reverse unsolicited text messages to your devices and charge you a £1 a message for a message never sent or received. Criminal.

  • moore2_jayne
    Jayne Moore (@moore2_jayne) reported from Annesley, England

    @virginmedia @Ofcom how is it acceptable to have no service staff picking up a call after 90 minutes and to leave a vulnerable older person with no telephone?

  • UAVHive
    UAVHive (@UAVHive) reported

    @Edeaulx @virginmedia Having worked in telecoms I can vouch for the fact that Virgin Media's customer service is atrocious and I'd argue is the worst in the industry. I would never be a customer of theirs ever again.

  • HoMcArdle
    Craig McArdle (@HoMcArdle) reported

    Absolutely no ***** given @virginmedia India and Malaysia are your only options as a customer. Poor people having to deal with vm ****** policies. FYI if you make more than one complaint about the same issue, they close the previous ones as resolved. They simply disappear.

  • ScarlettShaw
    Scarlett Shaw (@ScarlettShaw) reported

    The one touch switch for broadband might sound like a good idea but here’s something they don’t mention. When you leave @virginmedia , the email address you’ve had for 30 years is deleted. So you have to spend hours and hours changing login details on everything. It’s so stupid.

  • damienpooley
    Damien Pooley (@damienpooley) reported

    @virginmedia a few weeks ago I had some broadband issues and was told a new hub would be dispatched to me. I still haven’t received it, and my account says I don’t have any open orders. I tried to contact VM via chat, but (twice) the agents said nothing when connected!

  • Uitlander
    🕷️🇪🇺 🇬🇧 Uitlander (@Uitlander) reported

    @virginmedia - They need to talk to someone about my account options. They will call me back "later". - They hang up while I am pleading with them to stay on the line.

  • JagsArthurson
    Jags Arthurson (@JagsArthurson) reported

    WARNING I've had the dreadful new @virginmedia 360 box imposed on me (Virgin updated box without my consent and wiped all my recordings) With the old (36) box, to go to an alphabetical list of recordings was ONE button press With the 360 box it's FOURTEEN!!! Truly awful

  • Edeaulx
    Adrian Weale (@Edeaulx) reported

    I would contact you directly @virginmedia but your 'My Virgin Media' website won't allow me to sign in. I assume that this kind of obstructiveness is what got you fined so lavishly by @Ofcom

  • _DundeePerfect_
    A.Brown (@_DundeePerfect_) reported

    @robhinds @virginmedia I have never been told I need anything other than broadband.... even if do decide to have a home phone that now plugs right in to the router.

  • mrpaulpearce01
    Paul pearce (@mrpaulpearce01) reported

    @virginmedia you are an absolute disgrace. Internet down since Friday and you are saying the 30th to put right? Absolute joke why the delay?

  • lucebarnett
    lucy barnett (@lucebarnett) reported

    @EE I was on a call for 42 minutes this morning and got nowhere. Nobody wants to take any responsibility and suggesting I didn’t order despite the fact SIMs have moved over to One plan and Virgin Media contacted me about leaving. Very poor service
