  • edwinokli
    Edwin Walker (@edwinokli) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I have an issue with Bluetooth headphones interfering with WiFi signal. Two pairs of headphones, same result. Is there anything I can do to the router to stop this from happening? It's better when I switch off the 2.4GHz band.

  • MartinRose2
    Martin Rose (@MartinRose2) reported from Bristol, England

    @mouthwaite @virginmedia All of the wi-fi providers are rubbish. I am with BT and had to make several complaints about poor signal. You would be better off with a pay as you go dongle to be perfectly honest.

    @jonWturney @virginmedia If only they DID invest in their network. They bought Telewest in a fire-sale many years ago and have spent barely a penny on it. My guess is that they are able to ‘upgrade’ your speed because all of your neighbours have switched to BT, who actually have invested.

    I cannot believe just how lousy the service is from @virginmedia . Counting down the days to my contract end.

    @virginmedia how can I contact you in regards to removing premium channels from my account please? Have tried calling a number of times but cannot get through to a human. Is there a webchat service or similar?

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

    @virginmedia another 5 days waiting for a call back .. and this was after my case had been ‘elevated’ and a promise for all to be sorted on a Friday - more broken promises / what do you suggest now ? Just leave after 22 years ? @MartinSLewis @WhichUK - all details being recorded

  • Saralimback

    Hi @virginmedia we are trying to get hold of someone to cancel our internet/tv with you but it seems impossible. Please advise. @AndyVenn1

    leighton daintree (@daintree75) reported from Bristol, England

    @liveseytowers @virginmedia @SkyUK Thanks I just might as I have never gave them any information. They had my mobile number and email address. So I need to get to the bottom of the problem 🤔

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

    @richardbranson are you anything to do with @virginmedia ? If so please can you get someone to finally do something they promise. 15 hours on phone, promised credits, nothing arrives, overcharge £50 p/month & promised of a call back & nothing 22 years a customer, 6 weeks waiting

  • fifiifif
    Fi Willi (@fifiifif) reported from Bristol, England

    AGH! 40 mins waiting on the phone to find out that @virginmedia will not help you understand why the internet service is slow unless you have an Ethernet plugged in... WHO CONNECTS BY WIRE TO THE INTERNET IN THE AGE OF TABLETS AND SMARTPHONE?! Ugh! 😡 #penalised

  • daintree75
    leighton daintree (@daintree75) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I dont want an account with you to send a complaint. I do not want to be your customer. All I want is to get this resolved. Do I have to go through @Offcom to resolve the issue issue?

  • jonki1980
    Jon K (@jonki1980) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Broadband is down in Bristol BS16. Stopped about 30 minutes - tried rebooting twice on and off included are you aware of any issues? Service Status says no issues - no message on calling 150 #virginmediadown

  • daintree75
    leighton daintree (@daintree75) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Im not sure but a few questions? Im not your customer? I have never gave you my information? I left you and I have a different number? So why do I have to contact you? I dont think I shall ever come back to you after this?

  • daintree75
    leighton daintree (@daintree75) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I have had to email your DPO department again today for an update as it will be 3 weeks tomorrow since last reply. This has been rumbling on for a month. Your customer service is shocking. Who do I need to complain to? @Offcom?

  • misseschampers
    Lucy Champion (@misseschampers) reported from Bristol, England

    Today's @virginmedia update... 9.46 I connected to the messaging service. At 10.48 I was put through to the correct department. Still waiting. 5.5 hours so far. Carrier pigeon may be quicker 🤔 So far over 3 days I have been waiting on their messenger thing for 12.5 hours.

    @inclusively_amy @virginmedia Nope...Manchester issue?

  • Saralimback
    Sara Venn (@Saralimback) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia No someone has deleted it overnight after saying they could help via DM. This is appalling behaviour-it was whoever was tweeting yesterday.

  • avh12
    aimeeeee (@avh12) reported from Patchway, England

    @virginmedia intermittent WiFi, that keeps cutting out. Service test says nothing is wrong. I've followed all the instructions. No way of contacting you online?

  • CraigAllan5
    Craig Allan (@CraigAllan5) reported from Clevedon, England

    @virginmedia shocking service so far. Ordered our broadband a month in advance of our house move as is essential because we’re both working from home. Been in a week and had delivery of my hub but still not able to connect. Advice is always just to wait and it will come online.

    Martin (@mciver_martin) reported

    The worst customer care from @virginmedia on the phone for an hour to try and discuss changing our bill. Speaking with someone who can barely understand Me or Me them. After the hour they either hung up or lost connection. Either way nothing was resolved. Awful.

  • LaptopGeek92
    Jenn 🔜 meets (David) Tenn(ant)! (@LaptopGeek92) reported

    @virginmedia She is threatening to cancel her direct debit.

  • Hammybunny

    @virginmedia To find my username, nothing comes up. I'm wondering if should try to register as if am new customer?

  • eliaylott
    Elaine Aylott (@eliaylott) reported

    @virginmedia I have had terrible service from yourselves this afternoon. So far I’ve spent 2 hours on the phone (mostly on hold) to rectify your mistake. Needless to say I will be looking elsewhere for my broadband and tv service after six years.

  • ahxrt
    Amber Hartley (@ahxrt) reported

    Has anyone ever been successful getting through to @virginmedia ?! I’ve been trying every day for over a week and it’s pathetic now, did want to upgrade but instead to want to cancel. Always the same, can’t get through by phone, get ignored on chat

  • johnnypleeds
    Johnny Pickersgill (@johnnypleeds) reported

    @virginmedia This company is absolutely shocking!!!! 4 times I've tried to call, nobody is able to understand what I am calling for. someone DM me so Im able to speak to someone direct and lodge a complaint and if not received I will be cancelling every single service I have. Hrs wasted!!!!

  • PaulaOB36861931
    Paula O Brien (@PaulaOB36861931) reported

    @virginmedia This is the junction box at my neighbors. The wire loose is mine . Can not get a signal if not connected. I still don't understand why nobody can speak to me other than on a public Twitter page . I have been charged a fortune

  • PaulaOB36861931
    Paula O Brien (@PaulaOB36861931) reported

    @virginmedia After my issues with being able to get through to you identified surely the solution is not to just tell me to try to contact you .. the very thing I have told you I'm having an issue with. There must be some element of customer care

  • FusionFabrics
    jackie fusion (@FusionFabrics) reported

    @liamw48 @virginmedia @Ofcom I’ve never had a letter or email saying when my contract is up. Been with them 17yrs.

  • mistocky
