    @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!

    Jonathan (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    Looks like @virginmedia #virginmedia is down in Bristol again. Bravo. Idiots

    @virginmedia Multiple problems when moving home. Now we have been told we won't have anything installed until 31st December when we moved in on 29th November.

    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 🤬

  • 0JTheJuice
    Alex (@0JTheJuice) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Hey BG, so in total it disconnected 7 times from 7pm yesterday. The lights started flashing Green, after multiple resets it continued to disconnect throughout the evening. Really disappointed. Not the first time I’ve had issues with virgin’s internet.

    @Virgin @virginmedia @virginhelp well it's now been 21 hours since I was passed over to the help desk for picture break up on all channels on TiVo box and I'm still waiting this is shocking

    @virginmedia Nothing on there - just a lot of people with same issue! I’ve changed my password, run a security scan and still not getting emails or able to send. What do you suggest I do now please?? @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia

    @Birdybabe07 @virginmedia Bt, great deals atm. Once back on openreach network you can move around with over 50 companies. Once on virgin you can only use virgin. bt will happily re instal to get you back on openreach network. Unless you need business fibre...then I can provide or advise👍.

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

  • 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?

  • gingermurkin
    Alexandra Powell (@gingermurkin) reported from Patchway, England

    @virginmedia Issue with virgin mobiles not accepting incoming calls, going straight to voicemail. Was told this would be resolved last night but still not working. Any resolution ETA??

  • emmainglasgow
    emmainbristol (@emmainglasgow) reported from Bristol, England

    @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

  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia where can I email to complain? My VirginMedia Box won’t let me delete a number of things and my Internet is patchy at best! £83 a month for this ****? Every time you call you people you’re on hold or cut off!

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Yes. Powered down, switched off etc etc. Why would only certain content not delete and other content delete fine? Doesn’t make sense?

  • enzo_faulhaber
    Enzo Faulhaber (@enzo_faulhaber) reported from Yate, England

    @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 🧐

  • AngelMel2017
    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. 😒😥

  • dave_backwell
    David Lloyd (@dave_backwell) reported from Backwell, England

    She tried to complain, but got nowhere. This month her contract expired, so she tried again. Yesterday she spoke to a customer service guy @virginmedia who was very surprised at what she had been told back in July. He told her to contact the house moving dept, who'd refund her

    Alfie Pupper Esq 2 (@AlfiePupper) reported

    Hey @virginmedia how come the only part of your service that works consistently is billing? Posting on here because I have more chance of handcuffing a ghost than speaking to a human employee for help. Funny, cos when you wanted to sell your service we couldn’t get rid of you!

  • Vikk3rs146
    Mark vix (@Vikk3rs146) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t think you give a toss tbh in an age of working from home I had to hotspot and use my data to get through work the last 2 days ..texts from you to say it’s fixed then 10 mins later it’s down again ..I reckon in the 2 years of my current contract I’ve lost 20 days service

  • greencatbooks
    Green Cat Books ~ publisher | bookshop | mentor (@greencatbooks) reported

    @melon_h @virginmedia I switched to Sky last month. I was out of contract with VM and they were charging me £90 a month. They now reckon that I owe over £200 and have unleashed debt collectors, although I did try and cancel them (no contract). I have a referral link for Sky if you like? Gives us both some money off I think

  • DavidVaughan5
    Wirtz machine (@DavidVaughan5) reported

    @virginmedia Its ok I've managed to fix the issue, it was down to low frequency. Thanks its all sorted now.

  • timlumley
    Tim (@timlumley) reported

    @virginmedia Getting fed up of my Broadband speed dropping. Others in the Gateford area of Worksop are saying the same. Kindly rectify whatever is wrong please. I do not pay you for slow speeds!

  • CarryOnGemma
    CarryOnGemma (@CarryOnGemma) reported

    @virginmedia this has gone beyond the pale now. You already know all the issues my dad and I have had for, well, weeks now. Dad had all his recordings deleted and now his new recordings are recording and now, when he’s watched part of something he can’t go back and watch it because it says the recording has failed. This has happened on every recording. It seems to record fine then changes to failed. Get this sorted and get the broadband sorted. How @Ofcom isn’t all over this I don’t know. Pushing people to take the V6 and then a year later this happens. Shocking.

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia For a media company they are extraordinary bad at being able to communicate, had them once-never again.

    @virginmedia still waiting on email 1.5hrs later. Appalling customer service #joke

  • LiamHiggins5
    Liam Higgins (@LiamHiggins5) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia @MartinSLewis honestly think you should help put more pressure on broadband providers. The fact this person has been without broadband for several weeks and can't leave without paying a exit fee is ridiculous.
