    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

    @virginmedia If you’ve got something positive to contribute DM me, like getting someone to call me. Why would I remember the details of 2 hours that I will never get back

    @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.

    Sam 🏴‍☠️ (@BRFCSamuel) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia This contact was via the phone. He did give a reason, the reason being he didn’t know what the problem was. So told us to sit here and wait with no Wi-Fi and hope it sorts itself out.

    @virginmedia Same as about a month ago. Said I need to enter password. But doesn't work. Have tried resetting password. Still no good. Webmail says can't access my emails right now. And when I go to the sign in page it has my name as 'Jackie' top right though the main page says 'Hi Tina'.

    Hey @virginmedia could your sales team STOP trying to call me everyday, I’ve told them I’m not interested and blocked the number but y’all somehow just keep calling and leave voice mails. I’m already a customer so please just take that as a IM NOT INTERESTED!!!

    @virginmedia can you tell me what your issue is? Over a week to try and speak to someone and no further forward, currently been in a queue for over 3hrs?

  • rchcool
    It's mom not mum (@rchcool) reported

    @virginmedia Yes but it’s always 10pm and is the 3rd time this week. So what is the problem that clearly hasn’t been fixed?

  • _HadleyGamble
    Hadley Gamble (@_HadleyGamble) reported

    15 mins on hold with @virginmedia I have yet to speak with an actual person after receiving a call last week from someone so heavily accented I couldn’t understand them. Repeatedly I asked for an email with the information they were trying to communicate and was refused. Help.

  • cryptocyphereth
    0x00000 (@cryptocyphereth) reported

    @tvrski @virginmedia Yeah. After disconnecting with their human support, I switched to another browser. This time, their web deal page worked, but the price was 50p higher per month than the one i initially seen. Still, it was significantly better than the offer the human agent gave me, so I just went ahead with the renewal.

    @AndrewW12290183 @virginmedia They never send them. Still have old crap of theirs from years ago.

  • ForkYeah07
    Moderately Sarcastic (@ForkYeah07) reported

    An absolute nightmare getting onboard with Virgin Media broadband. They changed my appointment on the last day. Who the hell is going to pay me for the inconvenience this will have? This is absolutely ridiculous. Is this the service you guys provide?? @virginmedia

  • Steven12109

    @virginmedia I've been on hold for one hour and 20 minutes, to correct a mistake on your billing! You really are a crap company!

  • rossmckinley
    Ross McKinley (@rossmckinley) reported

    Yet more shockingly poor service from @virginmedia. Long standing customer but have been trying for three months now to change my package and can’t because three times now I’ve been told I’ll be called and haven’t! Literally don’t care about their customers at all
