    Ruth Cottingham💙 (@ruthcottz) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia no Internet in BS16 1DY. I called 150. Your recorded message says service out until 3pm, as you're "working to improve services" in this area. Why didn't you tell us before?!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • leedumble
    Lee (@leedumble) reported from Avonmouth, England

    @virginmedia why do I’ve over pay for my services that you can’t deliver customer service joke keep reading off a card no help what do ever what clown do I need to speak to . @SkyHelpTeam might be a able to help £144 a month and still not able to watch i player internet slow😡

  • 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?

  • chrisandobe
    Chris (@chrisandobe) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia That's a shame. Virgin SIM card was so much better and better customer service. I will probably change to a different phone network as soon as I can

  • Fingers247
    Mark Round (@Fingers247) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginhelp @virginmedia I need some way to resolve this, and can’t be the only one stuck in this situation. I can provide birth certificates, passports, etc, etc. Your support staff want 3 letters of a password nobody knows.

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

    @virginmedia John I have done all that already. And it’s not worked. I have spoken with my IT support and they confirm this is a problem with your servers. How are you proposing to sort this out for me please?? I’m paying for a service @virginmedia is not providing.

    Wow @virginmedia you've out done yourself, 45 mins and counting to cancel sports channels for mum after dad passing away all with an agent #shockingservice

    Saw a Sur rune drop but the internet suddenly cut out. @virginmedia does it again. #D2R

    Martin Parfrey (@martinparfrey) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia, your customer support is shocking. Any chance I could speak to a human being not a BOT? Even when I tried to complain, you cut me off!

  • kadenbatt

    @virginmedia After all the outages it's not stopped my WiFi pods working. How do u fix this? I've reset the hib and I've tried plugging the pods in close by to pair again and I get nothing

  • 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

    @NadineDorries @virginmedia @O2 And that is why you are known as the most stupid MP ever

    @virginmedia what's the deal, my box hasn't worked for 2 days??? This is the 3rd technical problem lasting more than 2 days that I've had this year. This is ridiculous now

  • 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?

  • MTurnerNFL
    Matthew Turner (@MTurnerNFL) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Hi there, the engineer came round but it hasn't fixed the issues. It's dropped 4 times now in the last hour, despite me doing a full reset. It's completely unusable. Please help!!

  • kadenbatt
    KB (@kadenbatt) reported from Warmley, England

    @virginmedia I did all that. I waited for thr led to go out. Then went and plugged it in and went green the flashed blue again. 24 hours to connect? It's been working for ages then after the outage yesterday all of a sudden its gone

  • 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 👍🏻

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt I left them last month after 12 years, also gone to open reach (EE) the service is far superior both the hard product and the customer service.

    Virgin Media News (@VirginMediaNews) reported

    The mother of a 9-year-old seriously injured in an e-scooter incident says the consequences of these crashes can be life-changing. Her son was hit by a 15-year-old while on his way home in Leixlip last summer and, a year on, is still walking with a limp. Hear from her on the News at 5.30pm. 📺 More on Virgin Media PLAY and Virgin Media One.

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Was with VM at old residence. Service was fin, suddenly one saturday phone, tv & Internet stopped working. A week later an engineer came out, we had been unplugged by an engineer on that Saturday for a new connection. VM offered a pittance of compensation. Told them to stick it

    Virgin Media News (@VirginMediaNews) reported

    The US has carried out a ninth consecutive night of strikes against Iran. US Central Command said it targeted Iranian military and communication capabilities. Iran also claims two oil tankers exploded in the Strait of Hormuz. The attacks follow the deaths of two US service members who were killed in Jordan during missile and drone attacks by Iran. 📺 More on Virgin Media PLAY

    @virginmedia @gwfvrowell Another Gary here. I agree. By far the worst company ever.

    Alexander Dumas 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Alexand68647317) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt I had a very similar experience with them. They are only interested in new customers and not retaining the ones they already have. I left, pay a fraction of what I used to, and will never do business with them again. Great business model for going bust.

  • LeisaPh20037124
    brooklynn dakota phillips (@LeisaPh20037124) reported

    @virginmedia yet again broadband down again 2nd time in a week this is getting ridiculous now you charge enough each month and for what crap broadband that always goes off

  • DaveRogers27
    Dave Rogers (@DaveRogers27) reported

    @Grimmy01942 @Simon_Whale @virginmedia They did this to me, it was the final straw. I sacked them off and got BT fibre broadband, never looked back.

  • daniel18921892
    Daniel (@daniel18921892) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Confused because they have literally stated they sent you a return pack? I’ve been with them for years and have never had an issue with them. Suppose it’s beucase I’m not a **** like you clearly are

  • Edeaulx
    Adrian Weale (@Edeaulx) reported

    I spent a desultory hour earlier, glued to a 'web-chat' with a bot, and then a human, as I sought to cancel my @virginmedia broadband service. It wasn't unhelpful, though it shouldn't have taken so long but it isn't over. @virginmedia's T&Cs specify 30 days notice... 1/
