    No company will ever be as inept as @virginmedia: - Phone lines: wait for hours, can't speak to anyone - Message service on app down for two weeks - Text service: messaged Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues; still no reply

    @stompweb @virginmedia I have exactly the same issue in DL1.

    @virginmedia JS, have you taken the time to read the thread through? It would appear not as your previous colleague intimated that you would be looking at auto-comp issue when I notified you that the issue had been resolved though you mentioned nothing about that.

    @virginmedia DM me so I can give contact details. Don’t think it would cause a problem but I’d worry about affecting neighbours services or possible future services should we come back to you.

    @gracedavies I had a dream that I Met a Boy Online was used by Virgin Media in a TV advert, and you got paid a ****-ton of money. Does that count?

    @virginmedia several recent calls to my landline informing me that my broadband would be disconnected within 24 hours, press 1 etc.. I put the phone down as this is surely a scam?

  • gaznolan
    Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia hey virgin media - when I'm told a final figure on my account and find out the agent lied and gave me a higher figure and then your complaint team tell me not to worry it'll be sorted. My contract finished on 30/3 but you've still taken a full month's payment (1/2)

    @misselledee @virginmedia This is normal. My friend has been on a broken line for weeks now. Engineers came out 3 times. His internet is still worse than his mobile internet. Virgin is saying everything is ok. Engineers barely know much more than: Let's reboot your router. Get out. Get City Fibre.

  • gowlos60
    Dee Ess 🇬🇧 (@gowlos60) reported

    @JeanDifford It's made very clear that you do if you want to: 'Watch or record live TV on any pay TV service, like Sky, Virgin Media or EE TV. Watch live TV on streaming services like YouTube, Channel 4, Amazon Prime Video or any international channels'. I don't want a criminal record.

  • iadnan9
    Addy (@iadnan9) reported

    @roisinecarr @virginmedia @virginmedia Reported an issue 2 months ago and only just received a response. The advice given was unhelpful, careless, and frankly unprofessional. The issue is still ongoing with Now being told it could take another 28 days for a follow-up. Completely unacceptable and a waste

  • kingoftheshed
    Paul Parkin (@kingoftheshed) reported

    @virginmedia And once again it goes down just I’m about to watch the boxing. Sort it or I’m putting in a formal complaint.

  • Seanster1984
    Sean Milroy (@Seanster1984) reported

    @virginmedia why are you telling people to get a booster after upgrading to 360 when a box is connected to its router through Ethernet cable? Ethernet connection is better. Wi-Fi is a luxury. People are paying over odds for service but you want them to pay more? Get a grip!!

  • soapyrct
    Sean Pearson (@soapyrct) reported

    @mobily_uk @virginmedia Because they expect lots of folk to either not realise or just pay anyway, its also why they make it so difficult to call. Funny you can join and change everything on line except cancel! Virgin are THE worst company for service.

  • shauny67
    Shaun (@shauny67) reported

    @virginmedia @itswesty Is this WiFi or ethernet if WiFi will be a device issue. Turn all devices off, restart the hub then bring one device up at a time until the internet drops then will know which device has the issue.

  • pwcwright
    Sprout57 (@pwcwright) reported

    @misselledee @virginmedia Yes, you can cancel. They have failed to uphold their end of the contract, including the no-show appointments

  • Merse2506
    John Mercer (@Merse2506) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I have been a VM customer for many years and have complained about my box s8nce you switched to a WiFi version. I get "buffering" and channel failed messages constantly. This happens and a low bandwidth message appears with tbe graphic even when the channel is still working.

    Every single month I have trouble accessing the my o2 app, since it’s became virgin media! Absolute joke can never pay my bill in time because of it, doesn’t let me sign in even though the details are correct!! Shouldn’t have to phone up every month to sort it! @O2 @virginmedia
