  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

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

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

    @virginmedia If it's better customer service then that would be better than having to be with O2

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

    @virginmedia I'm disappointed with the service I have received. Finally ended my contract, claimed my credit refund only for it still not arrive 6weeks later. Called call centre & was told I'd have to wait 2/3 more weeks. Why? Its unacceptable to have to wait so long. #complaint

  • TobyOsborne1
    Toby Osborne (@TobyOsborne1) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia As early as possible before whoever does this manages to help themselves to my money like last time

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

    @virginmedia is everything down in BS1? Trying to work and can't send any emails 🙄

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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😡

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

    @virginmedia Even if everything is replaced. Box, entire cabling, whatever. I'm not getting the service that I pay for, over an extended period of time.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia The only issue I have with that is that every time I contact that number, the following happens: 1) I explain the issue, again 2) they advise me to follow the steps as are online, again, that I've already done, even though I say I've done them 3) they ask me to monitor 1/2

  • chrisorman
    Chris Orman (@chrisorman) reported from Bradley Stoke, England

    Just spoken to @virginmedia customer services about red light on my hub. They GUARANTEED that the light will revert to white in the next 24 hours. Wonder what happen if their guarantee fails?

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

  • 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

  • _dreamer_
    Pilar Gómez (@_dreamer_) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Actually, the new owners are porting their virgin contract here, if the contract is per property, and it will be Virgin providing the service, that would mean we DON'T have to pay the fee right?

    @andyburnham It is the truth. Virgin subscription from £85 to £254 a month because contract expired and they’ll never contact you. This is affecting millions of people @virginmedia. He is attending to the truth about what is affecting people.

    Daran (@LoyalRoyalDaz) reported

    @shaunriley1954 @DarcKni68649817 @virginmedia Telecential.. i started with them as well. They were based just down the road from. The lack of respect we get as super longterm customers is terrible but they are all the same..

  • StephenP311275
    StephenP (@StephenP311275) reported

    @virginmedia You were "looking into it" a couple of months ago and nothing happened. I can get a better deal and service by going back to Sky as a new customer.

    Rationalist44 (@rationalist44) reported

    @andyburnham You might like to add VIRGINMEDIA to your list of organisations that do everything they can to prevent customers ending contracts. They are THE WORST.

    @Starlink Sorry but much rather stick with @virginmedia They've never done me wrong. They rarely go down AND I'm getting faster speeds at less price than your top package.
