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

    @virginmedia Hi No absolutely nothing. Its so poor and terrible customer service. I am so unhappy with you. The funny thing is that @virginmedia rang me yesterday to see if you could win my business back from @SkyUK if I have a problem they sort it may take a call or 2 but its dealt with.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Geo88HH George Hoddinott (@Geo88HH) reported from Bristol, England

    @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?

  • TheTestDoctor Dan Billing (@TheTestDoctor) reported from Bristol, England

    @inclusively_amy @virginmedia Nope...Manchester issue?

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

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

  • daintree75 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 🤔

  • brizzleboy pete jones (@brizzleboy) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Tried using that contact forms again, still nothing helps, I'll just hang on line for another hour 🤬🤬

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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?

  • digthisfood Pete Lawrence (@digthisfood) reported from Bristol, England

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • adamnieman Adam Nieman 💙 (@adamnieman) reported from Bristol, England

    @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.

  • jason_stealth Jason Stealth #FBPE #ProEU (@jason_stealth) reported

    @virginmedia it's shocking that you can't get to talk to anyone via the internet or by phone! Terrible service!

  • StuartF99197179 Stuart Ferguson (@StuartF99197179) reported

    @virginmedia I’m in Glasgow his big an outage is this ffs

  • luc7654 lucy smith (@luc7654) reported

    @virginmedia How long before its fixed and why are you taking your time. You will be quick enough to take out your direct debit but not quick enough to fix problems

  • Djfoldy69 🎭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿not-so essential worker (@Djfoldy69) reported

    @virginmedia Honestly everyone is rightly upset with the lose of service, but you and your colleagues are taking the worst of it, when there's nothing really you can do! Hopefully the guys that are responsible for getting it sorted, do so ASAP!

  • NClatters Clatters (@NClatters) reported

    @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV Your TV service in WN4 9LG is down - website is partially down (not the bit selling to new customers) and nor do your phone numbers work. How do customers contact you.

  • KayakmooseF Kayakmoose (@KayakmooseF) reported

    @JohnnyTortoise @Seons_Le @virginmedia How would you like the message to be sent. If TV and internet are down would you want Mavis from the staff canteen to start phoning VM customers to warn that their services are off. You have Twitter. The message is clearly displayed. **** happens and I am no fan of VM but hey
