    @virginmedia The service checker just says its down but doesn't tell me what's going on.

    @virginmedia help please. How do o get to choose a football game on the red button? It’s not working.

  • 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.

    Gareth Balmer (@garethbalmer) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia All good now - there were some power issues in another part of Gloucester that seemed to be causing the V6 box at our house and a few friends to restart. Very odd

  • 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.

  • Clottedone
    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!!!

  • 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?

    @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

  • 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?

  • 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?

    @virginmedia Your customer service is a disgrace. I have had intermittent broadband for 4 weeks but you make it almost impossible to get it fixed. I finally managed to connect to a human on a chat who was next to useless and then sent me an email to say everything was resolved.

  • fents71
    Fentz (@fents71) reported

    @virginmedia seriously guys, 15 days to wait for someone to check what appears to be a damaged cable is not great customer service. It’s like last summer all over again!

  • neiloco76
    UTV1874 (@neiloco76) reported

    @virginmedia Just wondering,, the people that work for you,,,,,do any of them actually know how to do their job?? I've only had virgin for 6 weeks and your already on the 6th **** up! TERRIBLE customer service, wouldnt know their arse from their elbow #virginmedia #useless

  • gems_endgame
    Gem🧣 (@gems_endgame) reported

    @EE How would I go about raising a complaint? I’ve spoken to Virgin Media who have said this happens a lot with EE putting through broadband or checking when no permission is given or basing an upgrade deal on it. Store didn’t want to know.

    @jennyk1977 @SilverstoneUK I missed you on the tv Jenny but trying to watch it on virgin media as a nightmare. Didn’t see the national anthem or martins grid walk either as the channel changed to the damn cricket!!! Finally got the race to play but I wasn’t quick enough to spot you sorry.

    @Brand_Concierge @virginmedia Good choice to return kit, they don't give a return box go to your O2 shop, they will scan it and send an email straight away, KEEP EMAIL! they will try and say you never returned and keep changing you also make sure the account is closed and demand your data removed!

    @virginmedia I’ve had an email response to my complaint. It was entirely unsatisfactory but unfortunately I can’t reply to it as it’s from a no reply email. The only way I can reply is by phone. I am deaf. Phone is my last choice communication method. I really struggle with it. Anyway I’ve
