    @virginmedia any help? Seems a bit excessive if you’re citing inflation… a little bit of transparency may help…!

    @virginmedia hello I’ve supposedly been transferred to the Customer Relations messaging team on WhatsApp but have been waiting since 2pm yesterday for an agent to get back to me, how much longer can I be expected to wait? Thanks

    hey @virginmedia I have a contract that says my price is set to Jan 2023 and I negotiated the deal with customer retention as not the account holder bit authorised to talk on behalf of the account holder and now I've got customer services flat out lying toe on WhatsApp (1)

  • andylance1977

    @virginmedia is it normal practice when a call is made to you about problems with the tivo box (3rd time this year) that you're then on a call for over an hr at at the end of it promised an upgrade, go thro all the protocols only to be told actually you can't have that

  • ChrisSwinglis
    Dr Chris Inglis (@ChrisSwinglis) reported from Penarth, Wales

    @GillibrandPeter Virgin Media are - by a significant margin - the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of having to deal with. I literally don't think there's anything in the world that could ever convince me to go back to them.

    Oh, maybe not. Even though the website says no problem, there is a problem with the broadband round here 🙄 @virginmedia

    @virginmedia @garyketchley Yes was told a manager would call us and it never happened …

  • macauc01

    @virginmedia terrible service. You booked to install my equipment on 13th Dec 2023. Wrong year and no one will sort it out. Your fault entirely

  • behnazakhgar

    @virginmedia I am trying to terminate the account. Its for my dad's house and need it done before the 3rd of March.

  • Paulyb65

    @virginmedia really frustrating morning. First day back from the holidays, stacks to do and internet has been down from minute I signed in!! Really need this back up ASAP!!

  • markccfc70
    Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    Been with @virginmedia back as far as old NTL days. Downgrade our package for the first time ever to keep costs down, and the Internet must have crashed at least 8 times today, the day after we changed. Absolutely useless, on the phone tomorrow to cancel this **** completely.

  • SteveMowat4
    Steve Mowat (@SteveMowat4) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @bristolbluegas @virginmedia @HiveHelper If someone could own a problem it would help. The engineer that came out today said, I just install hubs mate, I’m not authorised to lift man hole covers. Virgin told me yesterday this would be their “priority technician” that could fix everything. What a joke

    Internet not working, virgin media service status page not working @virginmedia shall I assume it's not fricking working and it might be repaired this century

  • andylance1977
    andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales

    Properly for the best part of a yr doesn't seem a problem to yourselves but your quite happy to take out monthly payment for a service we're paying for but you're not providing & seem to be in no hurry to provide it. Disgraceful service @virginmedia

  • djleekee
    Lee Smith 🌻 (@djleekee) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia The channel 4 one seems a bit flakey too. The opening sting on each service plays and then some ads but on both the programmes never play so I give up and use the smart TV apps instead. I've assumed it's a bandwidth issue but I suppose if ads are playing the progs should too.

    mec337 (@mec337) reported

    @virginmedia I’m busy composing an email for ofcom about how I’m forced to pay for a phone service to be able to have a package that’s overpriced. Yet when I actually want to use it, it’s broken- repeatedly. Then forced to go through stupid phone menus and wait >30 mins

  • burgs2010

    @Mccartney2Phil @virginmedia Down for 8 days. Started our contract last Wednesday and still haven't been able to watch TV 😡

    Ex-Fedupcivvy (@Fedupcivvy) reported

    @obbsie @virginmedia Everyone I know who used to be with @virginmedia has moved to another provider having experienced the same rubbish service you're getting. Banged on my door a few weeks ago, got sent packing, told the sales person I'd rather go totally offline than use them

  • scoobiesue82
    Suz (@scoobiesue82) reported

    @virginmedia The big bang theory on TLC suddenly has audio description even though it’s turned off on the box setting. Only every episode of this show nothing else on TLC or any other channel. It’s pretty annoying as it’s my go to channel between shows. Any idea why/how to fix?
