  • williamjbrown william brown (@williamjbrown) reported from Bristol, England

    @BorisJohnson I can only get virginmedia (at an extortionate price) as it’s the only one who supply more than slow basic speeds - and this is the centre of bristol. Nothings improved for most of us - not only for this but everything else since you’ve wrecked our economy

  • hurleyb0b Rob Hurley ✈️ (@hurleyb0b) reported from Bristol, England

    Hey @virginmedia there’s something VERY wrong with my Wi-Fi. I followed your online instructions and it didn’t clear the problem. I have a really busy few days. What’s the quickest, easiest way of getting it sorted?

  • DanielFry23 Daniel Fry (@DanielFry23) reported from Filton, England

    @bt_uk No need to Matt, appreciate your concerns I’m just saying your service currently is the same level as virgin media who I’m with which always cuts in and hot. Too many users using the overcrowded boxes

  • AndyMWilcox Andy Wilcox (@AndyMWilcox) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia My broadband keeps disconnecting. This is my 4th time contacting and it gets worse each time you apparently fix something. Please can you fix it. I cannot work at home and I’ve just been booted out of your online chat to resolve the problem!

  • amy_noony Amz (@amy_noony) reported from Bristol, England

    Virgin media make me 🤬 Been with them for 6yrs (no other option in our flats), paid their extortionate prices & received pretty poor intermittent service. Moving house & they don’t supply our new area 🥳 but they would like to charge a cancellation fee of £30.38

  • brizzleboy pete jones (@brizzleboy) reported from Avonmouth, England

    @virginmedia Sadly the phone never gets answered,we know if they did answer, someone in the retention centre might even help?

  • BRFCSamuel Sam 🏴‍☠️ (@BRFCSamuel) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia This contact was via the phone. He did give a reason, the reason being he didn’t know what the problem was. So told us to sit here and wait with no Wi-Fi and hope it sorts itself out.

  • BRFCSamuel Sam 🏴‍☠️ (@BRFCSamuel) reported from Kingswood, England

    .@virginmedia telling us to sit and wait for 24 hours without internet just incase our Wi-Fi starts working again before they’ll actually do anything, great customer service… not 👍🏻

  • chrisorman Chris Orman (@chrisorman) reported from Bradley Stoke, England

    @virginmedia Tried to send you a WhatsApp message but got the following message back: "Thanks for choosing to Message us today. We don’t have availability to accept any more messages for faults at the current time." Why is getting help so difficult?

  • LetRIP Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia Yes. That isn’t the point though. Your website has no information about how to contact you. And your web chat takes 1 hour to do the task of reporting bad speeds. Your contact support needs vast improvement.

  • algro10 Al (@algro10) reported from Clevedon, England

    @10sam_h Yeah likewise, virgin media awful still not sorted it

  • chrisorman Chris Orman (@chrisorman) reported from Bradley Stoke, England

    Just spoken to @virginmedia customer services about red light on my hub. They GUARANTEED that the light will revert to white in the next 24 hours. Wonder what happen if their guarantee fails?

  • LetRIP Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia No. Your chat representative cut me off. Have wasted over an hour already. You must be joking if you think I’m going to waste more time on your awful service

  • CloudHQ Mark Andres (@CloudHQ) reported from Bristol, England

    Internet outage in Bristol BS14 / BS4 @virginmedia please give a status update

  • gillih Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Bristol, England

    Hi @virginmedia I want to cancel my account. Still waiting to speak to someone after > 1 hour. Advice please?

  • algro10 Al (@algro10) reported from Clevedon, England

    @stewartcarter6 Appears it’s a Virgin media issue , shambles

  • gillih Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England

    @virginmedia I have got this sorted with your team now. Helpful person. But I suggest changing your auto system to give callers an idea of wait time. Better customer service.

  • williamjbrown william brown (@williamjbrown) reported from Bristol, England

    @O2 @virginmedia Shame you can’t even cope with the odeon cinema tickets every week counts down to time then all I get is “something went wrong”

  • LetRIP Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia Quite the worst customer contact centre ever. Website does not offer phone or email contact. Only way to get web chat is to go to complaints page. 1 hour to get a 1 minute task done. Deliberately cut off twice. #poorservice

  • AcuharmonyUK Acuharmony-UK (@AcuharmonyUK) reported from Clevedon, England

    @virginmedia No reported issues. Tried the fixes before, and so did virgin chat. Not just my handset, other people are having the same problem. Am I going to have to change networks, is that what you're saying? Due to the change to O2?

  • CCBUTTERY its#getting#ridiculous (@CCBUTTERY) reported

    @virginmedia I want to know what actually happened to crash the service. Not just engineers have dealt with it......dealt with what....

  • sw61964 Mike Williams (@sw61964) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia your answers are always the same. I suppose the critical question is when is the service going to get to a point when it’s more reliable. I have issues with availability and speed Going forwards is VM a service me and my family can rely on?

  • jammy_slack James (@jammy_slack) reported

    @bostockk97 @virginmedia Mate I’m not surprised at all I’ve read no end of things online where they’ve done same to other folk and kept charging them. How ******** they get away with it I’ll never know😡
