    @virginmedia - if I have a problem actually logging in, it would appear that there is no way to actually contact you... help please!

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

    @virginmedia Hi again guys. Exactly the same experience. They can't help me because by the time I've waited on hold, and weve discussed the problem again (for the 20th time or so), the problem has resolved. It's still happening 4 times an evening and it needs fixing. Please help.

    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?

    AngelMelSelector (@AngelMel2017) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for your reply. He told me that the cheque had not been activated when I first called 5th June. I was told it would be sent out via check. He told me today it would take a further 2/3 weeks. Sadly was no help at all. 😒😥

    Genius timing @virginmedia - webinar to deliver in 2 hours and now you go cold again. I’m not even surprised. Terrible company, utterly unreliable.

    @JaydMulligan @virginmedia Bs3 working 90% since about 9.30 this morning It went down about 10 mins ago but now up and running

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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • AngelMel2017
    AngelMelSelector (@AngelMel2017) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Hello, following on from my tweet regarding complaint of not receiving my credit refund. I have not heard back from the complaints team. What's the best way to proceed? Thanks

    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

    @virginmedia running with some issue with some of your staff member. As they promise me to Install a broadband at my house but now ignore 🧐

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia Same as about a month ago. Said I need to enter password. But doesn't work. Have tried resetting password. Still no good. Webmail says can't access my emails right now. And when I go to the sign in page it has my name as 'Jackie' top right though the main page says 'Hi Tina'.

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

    william brown (@williamjbrown) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia You put the prices UP and your service we get goes DOWN. How much are you knocking OFF our bills, after all there’s compensation when your trains 15 or 30 min late.

    @virginmedia I can’t use a different browser as I have to use my phone’s 5G as the internet down…

    @virginmedia hi my internet service has been down since this morning tried getting in touch but no joy

    @virginmedia @fluffybubbles73 Over 20 years with NTL/Virgin Media and honest truth, never a real problem. Nothing at all.

  • clarewo86
    Clare (@clarewo86) reported

    @virginmedia having issues with our internet going offline multiple times a day. Been happening for weeks and just happened again for the 5th time today. What’s happening with the network lately?

  • ShovelTrigger
    ShovelTrigger (@ShovelTrigger) reported

    @whisperwoIf @virginmedia was screwing me over too, was trying to play Fortnite with my Scottish friend and I lagged when in game and then when we reached lobby? My damn PlayStation overheated because of the heatwave

  • unia_x
    unia (@unia_x) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Hartlepool, Swindon, Reading - 3 places where I know for a fact a VM connection has packet loss. They’re selling a broken service and are getting away with it.

  • gill_frost
    Gill (@gill_frost) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Thank you for sharing. I have been meaning to move from virgin media for a while because of their poor customer service and this has decided it for me.

  • Howard1963OT
    Howard Borrington (@Howard1963OT) reported

    @JasonAlderwick @richardbranson Confusing though it is Jason, Richard Branson has never owned Virgin Media. He held a minority stake of roughly 10% and licensed the Virgin brand name to the business until the company was bought out by Liberty Global in 2013.

  • PDogTricks
    PDogTricks (@PDogTricks) reported

    @ClientsSupTech @missLucy127 Be careful. X is awash with accounts claiming to represent big companies. Only a profile pic given, no website quoted. DM supposedly to identify a customer may in fact be phishing for personal details. If @virginmedia cared they would report such accounts, get them closed down.

  • JuliaCoombcj
    Julia Coombs (@JuliaCoombcj) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Unfortunately this is standard procedure. Tried to cancel Sky TV just before contract ended as price had risen,watched the date like a hawk. They advised me to take out the 2 years again and cancel on the date. Hope you never notice. Why isn’t this illegal?

  • ryanbrittain1
    Ryan Brittain (@ryanbrittain1) reported

    @virginmedia @JSims_92 During lockdown they off loaded staff and then didn’t re-employ - worse customer service across the industry and that says something when in the same list as BT and Vodafone
