    @virginmedia To investigate the problem with my broadband hub.

    Today's @virginmedia phone queue times, and still not sorted my broadband issue: - 1hr 30m - 2hrs 7m (cut off) - 1hr 33m (cut off) - currently, 17m Inept, profit grabbing company. Some more customer service staff would be great!

  • petersnowdon Peter Snowdon (@petersnowdon) reported from Darlington, England

    Hi @virginmedia received a letter this morning advising me of price rise and providing a link for more info. The link directs me to call and you don't answer. Any suggestions? I'd like to cancel my service with you. Thanks

  • leeds2d JT (@leeds2d) reported from Bishop Auckland, England

    @virginmedia No. I’ve been in contact and I was supposed to receive a phone call within 4 hours. This was 6 hours ago. Very poor service

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia Ah, so I do have to wait a week to get my broadband service back then! I was tantalisingly close to being able to do my job! Will have to inform my employers I guess!

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    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

  • leeds2d JT (@leeds2d) reported from Bishop Auckland, England

    @virginmedia hi. I’ve been having intermittent dropouts this last few days. Any network problems ? Bishop Auckland area.

    @virginmedia Internet seems to be down on DL3? Any update?

  • swangell Stephen Angell (@swangell) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @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?

  • Poddddddd Jamie Gilbey (@Poddddddd) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia can I access some support on here?

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    .@virginmedia are amazing me at the levels of incompetence that they're able to reach. Been on hold today now for 1h 33m, 2hrs 7m (then they cut me off!) and currently 33mins! If you need any customer service from them then avoid them!!!

  • petersnowdon Peter Snowdon (@petersnowdon) reported from Darlington, England

    40 mins on the phone to @virginmedia on hold listening to poor music ....have you thought of recruiting some staff? Plenty of people would love a job at the moment...mad way to run a business

  • RobertTamkin94 Robert-Andrew Tamkin (@RobertTamkin94) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

  • NurseInProgr3ss Gemma (@NurseInProgr3ss) reported

    @virginmedia Well clearly not. The customer service agent I'm speaking to has managed to move it 4th August. This guy has been the most helpful, kind and actually done what he said he would. Setting up Internet in a new home should not be as challenging, frustrating or upsetting as this.

  • JamesTurner37 James Turner QC (@JamesTurner37) reported

    @virginmedia I have, constantly yesterday and today - and until about 15 minutes ago it had been claiming there was no problem in my area. Now it shows that there is a problem and it is hoped it will be fixed by 8:15pm. 😱

  • ontheqtpc Secret Squirrel (@ontheqtpc) reported

    @virginmedia is the payment system to buy a WiFi pass for the underground down?

  • DrewSalisbury5 Drew Salisbury (@DrewSalisbury5) reported from Barnet, England

    [1] @virginmedia I have not had access to WiFi for a couple of days now. I have checked the cables, rebooted the Hub and run the final diagnostic tests several times. Still nothing. On the one hand, your system tells me that there is a wider broadband issue in the area and […]

  • malone_silke Silke malone (@malone_silke) reported

    @virginmedia My husband was shouted at on the phone , the customer service was a bad experience overall . All we hear is that an engineer is turning up when nobody bothers, and as I said before we need the internet for Work / Uni work .

  • gmmshly Gemma Ashley (@gmmshly) reported

    DO NOT USE @virginmedia ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING CUSTOMER SERVICE!

  • Carolestfc1 Carole Yeo 🌻 (@Carolestfc1) reported

    @virginmedia How long after confirming my new contract/package should I get the email with my Netflix login code ?

  • BuNgLe_Ali Bungle (@BuNgLe_Ali) reported

    @virginmedia without hinge phone or TV since 13th July. Call in to get it reconnected said 48 hours still nothing. Called again another 48 hours no connection still. Called again today wait another 48 hours disgusting shocking service!

  • zainmas86 Zain Masud (@zainmas86) reported

    @virginmedia is there an easier way to cancel your services? We have called four times and the first three times it was kept on hold for 30 mins before cutting off. This time we are still waiting at 25 mins. This is crazy! Can we get a callback?

  • malone_silke Silke malone (@malone_silke) reported

    @virginmedia Just had the most rudest customer service agents on the phone . We are still without the internet connection after 10 days , tired of waiting now and looking for a different provider . We don’t need to be spoken to like that by someone who is in the wrong job
