    @virginmedia So what can be done to improve the technical issues we are having? Could it be our equipment?

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Thank you I am going to try again via sales as managed to get through last night but was informed I need to speak to construction and they were closed. Complaint ref was/is C-030920566 Thanks for helping Mark

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia I have checked and there are no faults. I am still having issues over a week later and this is totally unacceptable! Two children trying to take part of zoom lessons which they keep dipping in and out of as the connection just keeps dropping! Unable to get through to you on 150

  • leipperm m (@leipperm) reported from Braintree, England

    It's annoying that @virginmedia customer service refused to acknowledge this other persons details had some how been linked to my email with my bank account on their account.

  • DjOoooosch CK|Fitness (@DjOoooosch) reported from Braintree, England

    @virginmedia How is it I can buy a new mobile phone from you yet I can’t speak to anyone about my current phone? Shocking and **** Customer care.

  • Big_D_2012 Darral.s (@Big_D_2012) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia you really have to sort your internet service out shocking!!

  • lizdeoli liz de oliveira (@lizdeoli) reported from Sudbury, England

    @virginmedia I have rung twice waited over 2 hours and still can’t sort out a request to cancel an account for someone who has learning difficulties and is escaping domestic violence. Disgraceful

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia Yes and I am doing it again now. No network issue has been found

  • RohanAtaa Rohan Ataa (@RohanAtaa) reported from Great Notley, England

    @virginmedia @deantorris Why you guys don't have call back service?

  • joniread68 Jon Read (@joniread68) reported from Great Baddow, England

    Any @virginmedia customers out there who’ve been landed a price increase - just ring them on 03454541111 and the automated service immediately offers you a £4.50 pm discount for 6 months = £27 of savings. Bit of a weird way of doing business but obvs hope many just suck it up. 👍

  • Jakec1505 Jake (@Jakec1505) reported from Chelmsford, England

    Virgin media are actually ***************. Worst WiFi I’ve ever had

  • Paul07852224 Paul (@Paul07852224) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Hi, done the reboot and pin reboot but still dropping out drastically. The speeds I was getting to the speeds I am getting is really bad

  • Paul07852224 Paul (@Paul07852224) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Hi, yeah done that - no issues

  • katiewoo26 katie lee (@katiewoo26) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia After spending 1 hour on hold, I gave up. I just want to order a booster for my broadband! Please help!

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia I have continually tried to call, your wait times are really unacceptable, anyway I have also opted for the text service, however no text received. I am losing faith I’ve been waiting since August for some kind of contact from you. Any other options?

  • lizdeoli liz de oliveira (@lizdeoli) reported from Sudbury, England

    @virginmedia Amazing how you won’t sort out the problem with the account holder but you’ll speak to someone else about the account without the account holder’s permission!

  • DjOoooosch CK|Fitness (@DjOoooosch) reported from Braintree, England

    @virginmedia Please don’t conveniently close the live chat because you cut my phone and you’re having massive issues. The phone is my business phone and you are now liable for any missed work. Sort it out, shocking service.

  • joniread68 Jon Read (@joniread68) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia no way of contacting you over cancelling my contract, lines are down. How do we speak to you?

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Ok so I need to arrange another visit I won’t be contacted? Can you see how bad this looks? Now I’ll be in London I need to arrange someone to be there to let an engineer in unless there is a smaller window

  • 4442444its A (@4442444its) reported

    @virginmedia Hi . What do you mean you don't support vpn's? Is this a new thing? It was working fine until two days ago. Are you saying I need to change to Sky?

  • TerezaLoux Tereza Louise Kirwan (@TerezaLoux) reported

    @virginmedia have got to be the WORST rip off serviced and boast the most frustrating customer service business EVER Draining ..... like if you agree!

  • DaMall1n DM (@DaMall1n) reported

    @CallyM_ @virginmedia @virginmedia might be worthwhile jumping on this straight away “piss poor” is fair on this occasion

  • danjack1871 Daniel Jackson (@danjack1871) reported

    @virginmedia I booked an appointment this evening (for Friday morning), but didn’t book one beforehand as I was specifically told by your customer service that there was a problem in my area and engineers were working on it? Is there no record of this?

  • grant_cherry Grant Cherry (@grant_cherry) reported

    @virginmedia WiFi has been down for two days not in SW London, what’s going on?

  • Marlon_Ferro Marlon (@Marlon_Ferro) reported

    @virginmedia Compensation doesn't help during the last 8 days or right now

  • TheBn102 Bn102 (@TheBn102) reported

    @virginmedia I am and have been since December 2016. Your marketing team decide to harass me from time to time despite my preferences, but this is by far the worst.

  • gregofallgregs Greg (@gregofallgregs) reported

    @virginmedia Absolute joke of a company. Put me in touch with someone who can actually help and talk more than 3 sentences of english in 45 minutes. Nothing has been fixed. New router still hasn’t solved intermittent connection issue. No effort from technician to resolve issue
