    Unprivate my account to get a hold of @virginmedia . Please do something about your customer service. This time around, it should be more efficient. 45 minutes waiting in line only to get disconnected.

    @MarkFlannery19 @virginmedia @phonecoop Hi Mark. Tied into a contract for a year. Therefore they just play lip service to any problems. I used to have 100mbps and that was appalling so upgraded to 200 which is slightly better but never anywhere near even 100 coming into the house

    @bt_uk @skytv I’m looking to leave @virginmedia as they don’t want to give us a good deal after being loyal customers for 20 years. What can you offer us? Any guarantees for broadband quality? I can’t stand the moaning when the WiFi signal goes on the PS5 !Kids Working from home

    Georgia Skuse🍭 (@gskusey) reported from Kingswood, England

    If @virginmedia don’t answer the phone in the next 5 minute I will not be paying my next bill!! Second phone call this week (as they cut me off during the last nearly 2 hour call) such **** customer service. 😡😡

    Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia Not being utterly useless do you not think we’d have used all self help avenues... Now waiting for another promised call back that doesn’t come 🤬

  • sarahcliftonsc
    Sarah (@sarahcliftonsc) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia Is there any other way to get through to customer services to speak about my bill? Been cut off again after 20 minutes. 3rd time !!!!!!! I don’t want to pay the extortionate price sent and want to change to SKY as so much cheaper. Can I DM ??

  • ChristianSurfer
    Phil Williams (@ChristianSurfer) reported from Nailsea, England

    @virginmedia the issue now is I was promised a deal on the phone then rang up the day after and they refuse to offer me that same deal, all the details are on the email I believe I have a strong case your word is your bond. @MartinSLewis @WhichUK not best way to deal with a 22 year customers

  • mhendy1971
    mark hendy ⚒ (@mhendy1971) reported from Bristol, England

    Well after many many years of being a @virginmedia customer today I finally cancelled my contract. It’s totally disgusting how much they charge. ie £115 a month & saying it was going to go up another £5

    @virginmedia I’ve been a loyal customer for 22 years & reviewing all my package and find out that if I had been a new customer I can get the same package for 30% cheaper can you explain this please ? Or get somebody to contact me doesn’t sound like good customer care to me

  • leedumble
    Lee (@leedumble) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia No service issues and my other half has said the ping test hard wired by an Ethernet cable is coming back with 0.11’s 0.3 0.5 0.31. The house we are in is a small 2 up 2 down and devices drop out intermittently, it’s really annoying.

    @virginmedia Yes it says there's no issue, I rebooted again about 10 mins ago and still nothing. We spoke to somebody at virgin this morning and they said it would be looked at today but it's still not working. This has been 3 days without Internet or TV now and I work from home.

  • DavidAHSleath
    David@Housing Ladder (@DavidAHSleath) reported

    @virginmedia Who needless to say hadn’t had the courtesy to respond. Any further damage to my financial good standing will result in a significant litigation claim - this is your error and needs to be rectified or the relevant credit note issued.

  • theresahiggins
    Theresa Higgins (@theresahiggins) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia TV and phone are fine. It is the broadband that is still slow despite the reset.

  • snaildude
    Snail Dude (@snaildude) reported

    @virginmedia Reinstalled the app. Still not working.

  • gexrgieleighw
    GLW 🐲 (@gexrgieleighw) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve not had TV, internet or a phone line for 2 days thanks for your “connection issues”🙃

  • BTCMark
    Mark Bates (@BTCMark) reported

    @virginmedia They said the booster was taking all the WiFi and not distributing it. We pay every month for something that really doesn't work. We have the hub 3 is there an upgrade you can send or your own booster to help?

  • NiceLovingFrend
    Brad!!! live at twitch.tv/dacroww (@NiceLovingFrend) reported

    Virgin media's disconnecting issues are so ******* bad I genuinely hate the company with every fibre of my being. So garbage and unreliable. Horrible

  • CraigieTee
    Craig (@CraigieTee) reported

    @virginmedia It's not an installation, I'm already a customer. And I tried to raise a complaint but I was told this would just be opened and closed and nobody would look into it.

  • darrenjfarr
    Darren Farr (@darrenjfarr) reported

    @virginmedia why is my internet down? Why have I been on hold for 30 minutes to your business team? Why is your broadband so unreliable? I seem to make these calls weekly

  • bigbluewolf_
    Chris (@bigbluewolf_) reported

    @BTCMark @virginmedia Report it as a fault and get an engineer in. Something is obviously wrong with the Superhub 3. They are known to have poor WiFi - whatever VM may say.
