    @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

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

  • burdmiester
    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!

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

    @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

  • LetRIP
    Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia No. Your chat representative cut me off. Have wasted over an hour already. You must be joking if you think I’m going to waste more time on your awful service

  • sarahellenk1
    SarahellenK (@sarahellenk1) reported from Westerleigh, England

    @virginmedia please can someone help me. I need a number to call you on

  • 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

  • garethbalmer
    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

  • derbypascal
    Derby Pascal (@derbypascal) reported from Bristol, England

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

  • LOCKLEYHOBSON
    Richard J. Lockley-Hobson (@LOCKLEYHOBSON) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia No internet. You say they’re are no problems in my area. You’re liars #virginmedia …

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 1Joshwa
    🚑🌈Josh 🇪🇺👨‍⚕️ (@1Joshwa) reported from Bristol, England

    So why is it impossible to speak to a real person at @virginmedia ? Live chat is down, phone leads to a system test then hangs up. I just want to speak to someone 😩 #virginmedia

  • SamAndSnooper
    Sam&Snooper (@SamAndSnooper) reported from Bristol, England

    Looks like @virginmedia is down across the UK. The outage is so big it’s crashed their website.

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

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Yes. Have done this and spoken with your ‘fault management service’ who cut me off when I was explaining the problem.

  • 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!

  • 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 🧐

  • KieranTrvlr
    Kieran Traveller 🛫 🏰🚢 (@KieranTrvlr) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I have, and I get an automated service that hangs up on me after sending a text. I just want to order wifipods. I’ve tested the speed in the app, but it’s not allowing me to do anything. Chat doesn’t work, and calling won’t let me speak to anyone.

  • 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.

    Tania Harding (@taniah009) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Sorry you’ve experienced this. I had the same with @virginmedia when my dad passed and on calling, the agent was so rude to me it made everything so much harder. Witnessed and we still cannot believe the conversation. Kindness costs nothing.

  • MannyParmar
    Manoj Parmar (@MannyParmar) reported

    @virginmedia you’ve made no provisions for your vulnerable customers in the LE5 5AA area after a lightning strike took out comms for everyone? Your estimated time to fix has gone from 24 hours to 4th June which is over a week away! How are life line pendants going to work?

  • thebeeb_23
    the_beeb_23 (@thebeeb_23) reported

    @virginmedia a little man from virgin media just rocked up at the door to explore opportunities to get our business back. How poor is the customer relationship software that they don’t have on record that pricing, service and delivery was so bog awful I will never go back?

  • SharonHerbert
    Sharon (@SharonHerbert) reported

    @GeoffJonners @virginmedia They did this to us - went from £124 to £211 so we did the switching service with Sky. Virgin then called to offer us the same package for £74. Too late I’m afraid! 👋

  • marypaul32
    mary32 (@marypaul32) reported

    @virginmedia is this how you treat your vulnerable customers? A 72 year old man has been left with no WiFi after builders cut through a virgin cable. He spent an hour on the phone and virgin won't come to fix it till 10th June. He can't make nhs appt as must be online.

  • df1888
    d_f1888 (@df1888) reported

    @virginmedia @LutzSchueler Shocking customer service from VM. Next step will be contacting the communications ombudsman

  • janethebuell
    Jane (@janethebuell) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Same problem with @skytv. Told them mum had died & wanted account closed. They said "we cannot close the account, we need to talk to the account holder". I repeated she died. I gave up, sent the equipment back & ignored the flurry of demanding emails. Very distressing.

  • PeteUK7
    Pete 😷 #COVIDisAirborne (@PeteUK7) reported

    @ProfChocCaXe @virginmedia Nothing personal? How much more personal than intimating you know my mother's cause of death can you be? Having gone through 3 months of trauma watching her die a slow and painful death, how welcome do you suppose your comments are? I am grieving her loss and people like you are the lowest of the low.

  • GMCC_Diane
    Diane Elebert-Morgan (@GMCC_Diane) reported

    @virginmedia loving the even further dial down of our broadband as we enter InTo the last few days of contract with you! You already turned it down after the first 8 weeks so we had to upgrade! We have never used you before and we will never use you again! Good riddance!

  • Adam83492464721
    Adam (@Adam83492464721) reported

    @Nasher6328 @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Nah **** that. If I need to go through the song and dance anyway I may as well switch and get whatever freebies they throw to new customers. It’s just a stupid system that doesn’t reward loyalty and means we all have to waste our time every 2 years.
