    @virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia The link asks me to log in which I do, then it shows me my contract etc, I can either fill a form in for someone to contact me but I’ve did it before or it shows the complaint as been closed

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Yes that’s fine, I offered to send it back but I was told to use it until the call was listened to. Can you check on the progress of the complaint

  • abbeyuk Abbeyuk@twitch (@abbeyuk) reported

    @virginmedia fish work want to play some games can’t as all I get is lag spikes high latency issues every night from 5-11pm only been with you 3 months worst decision ever made

  • markdenholm Mark Denholm 📻 (@markdenholm) reported

    @virginmedia Once again my WiFi is not working properly. If I endure yet another 25 minute wait on hold to get through to your customer service line tomorrow will you actually do something towards sorting this out tomorrow or will I just be fobbed off with more nonsense again?

  • brian_stormont Brian Stormont 👨🏻‍🦰 (@brian_stormont) reported

    @virginmedia loved spending the last hour turning my router and box off and on cause you insist there is no problem through the online problem solver - that then tells me there is a problem and it cannot connect. #jokers

  • JoolsofLuton Julian Pennifold (@JoolsofLuton) reported

    @virginmedia why does a £3.55 phone payment charge keep appearing on my account? We never use our landline. The bill states 8 calls of a minute each. Please investigate and let me know the numbers being called and the please refund me the £3.55.

  • Heathfield2007 Roderick Stuart (@Heathfield2007) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you, I’ve tried that, but still no change. My frustration is not being able to talk to anyone to try and explain and resolve the problem. Poor customer experience - I’ve been with you less than 24 hours.

  • Justreidesign James Reid (@Justreidesign) reported

    My mum went into an @O2 shop by herself to get a new phone as hers was broken. She got railroaded into a @virginmedia contract for the next 2 years for her home Internet & phone line. She didn't want it, but felt she was forced into it. I'm disgusted with salespeople like that.

  • nrd1981 Neil Delaney (@nrd1981) reported

    @virginmedia Hi! Hopefully you can help me. When I made a telephone call earlier, I was cut off. I’ve recently been sent a replacement for my TiVo box (your decision entirely). Now I can no longer record programmes. The error says CS6031 and that you you can’t find my hard drive.

  • sanb01182658 sanb (@sanb01182658) reported

    @virginmedia been waiting two hours for an agent - pixelation and freezing from Tivo box (very old) as your AI could not cut it - Send Help.

  • brian_stormont Brian Stormont 👨🏻‍🦰 (@brian_stormont) reported

    I have no internet which is one of these things but why when I contact @virginmedia by phone they tell me there is a complex issue engineers are working on but on the website they tell me it’s my router? You also cannot speak to anyone. Hope it’s fixed soon. Working in 10 hours
