    Paul Burdon (@burdmiester) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia Totally shocking services again, tried web chat messaging etc crap. Speed test less that 12 mbps, paying for 100mbps 🤯🤯🤯 What are you going to do it In off after 20+ years of pain, no more!

  • 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?

  • tinabadley
    Tina Badley (@tinabadley) reported from Bristol, England

    Has anyone else's @virginmedia email gone down AGAIN? I'm trying to run a business here.

  • Yippers
    Amy (@Yippers) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Email to say it was resolved by offer of an apology which I never accepted so I called customer services who offered the credit of overpayment onto my account which I’m still waiting for.

  • steveparsnips
    Steve Parsons (@steveparsnips) reported from Stoke Gifford, England

    @virginmedia I have spent 7hrs40mins today in a WhatsApp chat with your customer services trying to terminate my broadband and still haven't finalised it. I will be cancelling my DD as I am paid up until May 4th and your hub will be available for you to collect if you wish

  • neilcairns
    Neil Cairns (@neilcairns) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Why can’t anyone just forward a message or reply to an email? Why does the customer always have to do something else? Absolute ball ache as usual with this nonsense. Wonder how quickly you’d fix issues if people stopped paying their bills?

  • 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

    Blood Claw Bob (@Clottedone) reported from Bristol, England

    Hey @virginmedia could your sales team STOP trying to call me everyday, I’ve told them I’m not interested and blocked the number but y’all somehow just keep calling and leave voice mails. I’m already a customer so please just take that as a IM NOT INTERESTED!!!

  • DerShru

  • carolgladwin
    Carol Gladwin (@carolgladwin) reported from Nailsea, England

    @virginmedia Had real problems with the service web page.. took an age to load and then chucked me back a page! Our service is back now.

  • craigcapes
    Craig Capel (@craigcapes) reported from Bristol, England

    The £ gleaned by both @virginmedia and @SkySports in making it difficult for fee/ subscription paying members to watch “each others” content must clearly outweigh the customer service calls and complaints 🤬

  • chloehester
    Chloe (@chloehester) reported from Bristol, England

    Why does @virginmedia online chat never work?! Its a nightmare trying to get through on the phone 😭 I just need to change my package ffs.

  • ShanahanMary
    Mary Shanahan (@ShanahanMary) reported from Bristol, England

    Not happy with @virginmedia paying £70 a month for tv/(which is awful) internet and landline - want to delete tv still (£61) - internet drops out all the time exit fees would be £240 anyone else find them extortionate for poor service?

  • xChuChux911
    Hi, call me Chu x (@xChuChux911) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I never gave out any personal information as I knew it was a scam cus I'm with Sky. The number was 02045099664 but it was spoofed. Lady had an Indian accent and said technicians in my area had fould a fault which was affecting my computer.

  • bethkorf
    Beth Ryan (@bethkorf) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia Its done now but fairly sure it shouldn't take your agents 45 mins to cancel sky and bt sports and change the TV package to the basic. Maybe more training or better systems are needed. Just saying Sky took about 3 minutes to cancel BT sports for me a year or so ago #competitors

  • TobyOsborne1
    Toby Osborne (@TobyOsborne1) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to a rude adviser who said they’d escalate it. However my pac code has already been swapped out and there was no urgency. I am now waiting in the hope that someone else doesn’t get control of my phone

    The Navigator (@Navigator429) reported

    @virginmedia hi. I am an ex customer of yours but it seems my account is still active. I keep getting emails alerting me to someone trying to log into my account. How do I request my account to be deleted? You shouldn’t hold an active account for me if I’m not a live customer.

  • shauny67
    Shaun (@shauny67) reported

    @QxPain_ @virginmedia You said router with ethernet under the pc, is the pc connected with eithernet or WiFi as if both this will cause a loop back if on the same network and hence why WiFi is not working. For best rest result connect the pc via ethernet & phone to WiFi

  • germann_ro

    @virginmedia @bexholloway Hi is there any known issues with sky sports app login ?

  • StephenOld
    Stephen Old #FBPE (@StephenOld) reported

    @thenorth4theeu @virginmedia I tried to change a few years ago but they made the process impossible. They sent me texts instead of emails and no other providers will deal with Virgin directly. They have just been fined for their poor customer service, I think. They don't even reach basic standards of decency

  • WingsSherpa
    Wingssherpa (@WingsSherpa) reported

    @VirginMedia_TV Shouldn’t it be ‘heavy entertainment’? I’ll look forward to that on Virgin Media Player. Actually, no I won’t because it never puts anything on there for UK viewers.

    No work phone for 3 weeks, Over 20 calls to “Customer Service”, AI that doesn’t work, Technical support that doesn’t work, Incompetence at a level impossible to describe, And no call back since Monday. I’ve had same number for 32 years-until I went to @virginmedia
