    @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.

    Chris (@chrisandobe) reported from Kingswood, England

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

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

    @virginmedia @EGX 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!

  • lazy__goth
    Tiffany (@lazy__goth) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia No, it doesn’t, and the internet goes down again within hours, usually in the evening when I presume there’s high usage. We’re in a loop - report issue, told issue is resolved, issue happens again.

  • 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?

  • martinparfrey
    Martin Parfrey (@martinparfrey) reported from Kingswood, England

    @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!

  • jamesmjharrison
    James Harrison (@jamesmjharrison) reported from Bristol, England

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

  • thisisryanc
    Ryan Carrington (@thisisryanc) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Constantly drops out, coupled with frequently slow speeds. Price increases for a worsening service.

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

    Appalling customer service thread to follow about @VirginMedia. 6 months ago my partner and I moved in together. We were both customers with @virginmedia but for obvious reasons decided we only needed one account in our new house ...

  • 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

  • burdmiester
    Paul Burdon (@burdmiester) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia broadband in BS166EB is totally rubbish again, got to switch this service is really really poor #inconsistent at best.

  • ruthcottz
    Ruth Cottingham💙 (@ruthcottz) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia no Internet in BS16 1DY. I called 150. Your recorded message says service out until 3pm, as you're "working to improve services" in this area. Why didn't you tell us before?!

  • Bristolvor
    Ivor the Vorlord (@Bristolvor) reported from Bristol, England

    @KGravil @virginmedia Service?

  • 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

  • alisterbetts
    Alister Betts (@alisterbetts) reported from Bristol, England

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

  • morefluids
    Sethina A Watson (@morefluids) reported from Bristol, England

    It is rubbish right now. Dropped my WiFi and couldn’t use mobile network. Service has been terrible past 3 weeks. Really bad @virginmedia #virginmedia Seems like it’s not just me

    @lewclarke1 @virginmedia Oh I could have told you they were awful. Try moving house with them! It's "character building"

    *carly* RN DN (@CarlyBoo78) reported

    @virginmedia been trying to get through to your customer service line for over 5 hours in the past 2 days!!! Chatbot useless! Can’t get on the app. You have taken an extra £122.00 on top of our usual bill this month and we can’t speak to anyone about it! Poor, poor service!!

  • obbsie
    Chris Hobbs (@obbsie) reported

    @virginmedia For fours hours I've been holding for customer service and listening to the same piece of dire muzak over and over again. Across SM I see nothing but complaints about customer service & a failure to respond. This surely isn't good enough.

  • DavidSh77116164
    David Shaw (@DavidSh77116164) reported

    Is at @virginmedia broke? My services doesnt work, Web chat doesn't work, been on hold for ages. Disgusting service.

  • Omersaeela
    👾 (@Omersaeela) reported

    Hi @VirginMedia, my account has been locked and I’ve been trying to contact support for 2 days now with no response. Calls are not being answered at all. I urgently need help setting up my new WiFi device. This level of support is really disappointing. Have no option 👎

    Luke Robert Mason (@LukeRobertMason) reported

    @virginmedia Where do we start? 1) Your 'Contact Us' ChatBot is utterly unusable. It forces you to move to scan a QR code to move to the app - where you continue to have exactly the same conversation with the same bot in the same web-bases system. 2) It is impossible to ask simple questions: Like 'Cancel Extras'. 3) Everything on the website is about upselling a service over providing customers useful information about their currently plan.
