    Matthew Turner (@MTurnerNFL) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Hi again guys. Exactly the same experience. They can't help me because by the time I've waited on hold, and weve discussed the problem again (for the 20th time or so), the problem has resolved. It's still happening 4 times an evening and it needs fixing. Please help.

  • 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

    Simon H (@Hekler21) reported from Westerleigh, England

    @virginmedia hardly a great start as new customer!! Moving house and ordered a new box for moving day, but now won’t be delivered there for over 2 weeks!! #shambles

  • AcuharmonyUK
    Acuharmony-UK (@AcuharmonyUK) reported from Clevedon, England

    @virginmedia No reported issues. Tried the fixes before, and so did virgin chat. Not just my handset, other people are having the same problem. Am I going to have to change networks, is that what you're saying? Due to the change to O2?

    @virginmedia After all the outages it's not stopped my WiFi pods working. How do u fix this? I've reset the hib and I've tried plugging the pods in close by to pair again and I get nothing

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • williamjbrown
    william brown (@williamjbrown) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia You put the prices UP and your service we get goes DOWN. How much are you knocking OFF our bills, after all there’s compensation when your trains 15 or 30 min late.

  • 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?

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

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

  • 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!

  • DigitalJonathan
    Jonathan (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia That's a shame. Virgin SIM card was so much better and better customer service. I will probably change to a different phone network as soon as I can

  • Fingers247
    Mark Round (@Fingers247) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginhelp @virginmedia I need some way to resolve this, and can’t be the only one stuck in this situation. I can provide birth certificates, passports, etc, etc. Your support staff want 3 letters of a password nobody knows.

    @henningmc_ @virginmedia Nightmare! At least I have a paperback to help me get to sleep!

    Has anyone else's @virginmedia email gone down AGAIN? I'm trying to run a business here.

    Second guess, for @virginmedia… the classic ‘cut the wrong wire’ then a lot of head scratching to work out where the problem was?

    @virginmedia is the Clients Support Team a bona fida Virgin media account?

  • CarlDifford
    Carl Difford (@CarlDifford) reported

    Hey @virginmedia - work on your customer service training. Renewed my contract this morning, then a salesman rings me this afternoon trying to sell me an upgrade. When I told him I’d just sorted my package, he simply cut me off without a further word! Good day to you, too, sir.

  • PaulTurner140

    @DrealSMAK @virginmedia Don’t waste your time. They only want you to DM them to keep your complaint from public view.

  • selhurstpaw1
    Paul Wright (@selhurstpaw1) reported

    @biggle1908 Avoid Virgin Media at all costs. Call centres are overseas. Back up if you have real issues is very slow. Regular price increases. When you renew your contract, it will be considerably higher.

  • redwallreality
    nigel (@redwallreality) reported

    @biggle1908 Virgin media broadband is excellent. Problems start when you phone them…if you understand Indians with a less than rudimentary ability to speak English, go for it.

  • tirpse
    Mark (@tirpse) reported

    @virginmedia every night this week broadbands gone down at the same time. Do a check no issues, check again no issues check again intermittent issues check back in 24 hours. It’s not as if broadband is new, surely you should know what you’re doing by now? Fix it and get reliable!

  • WiJayWhelan
    Jase Whelan (@WiJayWhelan) reported

    @virginmedia I have! still no Wifi 😡 day 3 , still no sign of any engineers who are apparently ' working to resolve the complex issue'?

  • lovelylisaj
    Lisa Allen (@lovelylisaj) reported

    @virginmedia hi, my mum got a call supposedly from you about the router being slow. I took over and I don’t think it was legit. They were asking me to switch off the router and put it on again. I ended the call as I was suspicious. Internet speed is fine.
