    @virginmedia - if I have a problem actually logging in, it would appear that there is no way to actually contact you... help please!

    @virginmedia Had real problems with the service web page.. took an age to load and then chucked me back a page! Our service is back now.

  • LetRIP
    Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia Yes. That isn’t the point though. Your website has no information about how to contact you. And your web chat takes 1 hour to do the task of reporting bad speeds. Your contact support needs vast improvement.

    Trevor Whiteman (@nongrockle) reported from Bristol, England

    @JuanaWhiteman @virginmedia Zero customer service

  • 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.

    @virginmedia Hey BG, so in total it disconnected 7 times from 7pm yesterday. The lights started flashing Green, after multiple resets it continued to disconnect throughout the evening. Really disappointed. Not the first time I’ve had issues with virgin’s internet.

    @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

    @virginmedia Nothing on there - just a lot of people with same issue! I’ve changed my password, run a security scan and still not getting emails or able to send. What do you suggest I do now please?? @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia

    Appalling customer service thread to follow about @VirginMedia. 6 months ago my partner and I moved in together. We were both customers with @virginmedia but for obvious reasons decided we only needed one account in our new house ...

    🚑🌈Josh 🇪🇺👨‍⚕️ (@1Joshwa) reported from Bristol, England

    So why is it impossible to speak to a real person at @virginmedia ? Live chat is down, phone leads to a system test then hangs up. I just want to speak to someone 😩 #virginmedia

  • ruthcottz
    Ruth Cottingham💙 (@ruthcottz) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia no Internet in BS16 1DY. I called 150. Your recorded message says service out until 3pm, as you're "working to improve services" in this area. Why didn't you tell us before?!

  • 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!

  • AndyMWilcox
    Andy Wilcox (@AndyMWilcox) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia My broadband keeps disconnecting. This is my 4th time contacting and it gets worse each time you apparently fix something. Please can you fix it. I cannot work at home and I’ve just been booted out of your online chat to resolve the problem!

  • NadineD_G
    Nadine_CCN (@NadineD_G) reported

    @virginmedia more than 24 hours of no internet service in the E4 area. I’m seeing people saying that this has gone on for days with them. How can we confirm that our service will be up and running by the suggested time? I have work to do and this is really causing a delay.

    @virginmedia my internet was down for almost a month (now restored), but I haven’t received any automatic compensation. Please look into this urgently so I don't need to involve ombudsman.

    @virginmedia Internet, and subsequently TV, have been down since yesterday in G67 area. Someone posted a picture of the junction box knocked over, any idea of how long to fix? I work from home and need the Internet to do my job. This needs fixed ASAP.
