    @virginmedia been on hold for a web chat for 3 hours now, and all phone numbers redirect to an automated service, telling me to use the web chat ... Is there any way to actually speak to someone?

    @virginmedia Since moving to @virginmedia 2 weeks ago everything that could go wrong has, and no one at VM has taken resposibilty. I've raised a complaint and have been promised mangers would call but no one does. Just been on phone again, still problems and no help.... #virginmediadontcare

    Andrew Lee (@aplee82) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia What exactly do you think I've been doing? I've lost count of the number of times I've phoned but there is never a manger available to talk to me. I was again told yesterday that someone would call at lunchtime today but they didn't. What more I can do? #virginmediadontcare

    Only @virginmedia will charge you for 2 boosters instead of 1 and their operative is trying to flog me a tv package and ignoring the complaint. Stay classy 👍🏼

    Simon Creese (@creesey) reported from Filton, England

    @virginmedia not a great service, just moved house and it’s taken me a week to get through to you and now you are saying 10days to get my internet and TV working. Try having 3 kids for 10 days without the internet🤬🤬

  • Samzzy
    Alex Sams (@Samzzy) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I've rang up too many times to count over the past few months about a complaint, each time being told I'd receive a call. COM103977747 Received a letter today saying if you don't hear from me you'll close the complaint...

  • shay1808b
    Seamus Brennan (@shay1808b) reported from Bradley Stoke, England

    @virginmedia cannot get through to call centre or login to account. More frustratingly is automated answering service seems to be on a loop asking the same questions

  • Geo88HH

    @virginmedia do you have a live chat service please.

  • aplee82
    Andrew Lee (@aplee82) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Not what your Code of Practise says. And even if it did then that's a pathetic way to way to treat your customers. #virginmediareallydontcare

  • aplee82
    Andrew Lee (@aplee82) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Doesn't explain why I was promised call backs on both Thursday and yesterday and they didn't happen, or why the issues remain unresolved after two weeks and I have to keep chasing... #virginmediaterriblecustomerservice

  • aplee82
    Andrew Lee (@aplee82) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Too many issues to describe in Twitter limit. Problems with installation of broadand, land line, TV and with mobile. Someone at @virginmedia needs to take responsibility and deal with it and my complaint. I'm promised a call back but never happens #virginmediadontcare

    @virginmedia hello. I phoned virgin media yesterday as our broadband speed is too slow , especially to accommodate home working . The vague response I received was that there is a problem in our area and I couldn’t be given a time frame as to when it would be fixed

  • ho_cherrie
    Cherrie Ho (@ho_cherrie) reported from Bristol, England

    Hi @virginmedia, would appreciate some help in cancelling my broadband service. Website suggests a contact number to call which is a voicemail and diverts me to get help online. I’m getting no where.

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

    @virginmedia broadband down in Bristol. Anyone else having problems? It's a nightmare when we're all trying to work from home!

  • aplee82
    Andrew Lee (@aplee82) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia The question is when. No good just telling me they will when theres zero evidence it and time and time again I'm told someone will call me tomorrow and the never do. What's the point in a code of conduct if you ignore it? Such rubbish. #virginmediadontcare

  • scottthomasss05
    Scott Thomas (@scottthomasss05) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia can you sort this out? A whole day with no internet at all? What do we pay thundered a month for your service to take time off?! #jokers

  • ChrisThinkbiker
    Think Bike (@ChrisThinkbiker) reported from Yate, England

    @virginmedia decide to upgrade their sim cards. During roll out they realise previously unlocked phones have to be re-unlocked by previous provider. Virgin customer svc gave me a choice. Sort it yourself or don't be a #virginmobile customer🤔 #rude #notcustomerservice

  • Bob_TheBaldie
    Bob (@Bob_TheBaldie) reported from Kingswood, England

    Just had a random phone call from what I’m guessing is a telemarketing company on behalf of @virginmedia Offering me a deal. If it didn’t sound like a child sat in a cave , I wouldn’t have put the phone down.

    @virginmedia Nice to celebrate your new linkup with yet more garbage service in the London NW3 area. All TV channels digitised to an unwatchable degree. Well done you.

    Eddie Lindsay (@EddieMemps) reported

    @virginmedia What I am trying to relate is there are times I have no service available. Always under the impression as my mobile provider you have masts that determine mobile coverage. My account is with Virgin!!!

  • DreadXix
    XIXDreadXIX (@DreadXix) reported

    @virginmedia's WiFi is complete **** They do NOT take care of their consumers and they quite frankly do NOT give a **** what happens to them. All they care about is money. If you are considering joining Virginmedia, DO NOT. They do not provide the service they advertise.

    RhiLou32 👑 (@RhiLou32) reported

    @virginmedia Yellow power light only. All devices (three phones, a tablet, and a desktop PC) are connected to the router, but have no internet access, so it's not an issue with the device. Rebooted the hub. Nothing. No outages reported in my area on the Virgin site.
