    @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.

    @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?

    @virginmedia @richardbranson @bt_uk virgin your broadband service in waltham Abbey is disgraceful, even though we have complained you fail to resolve my problems, and are no delivering on your own contract terms. I want this resolved or released frommy contract @poppy_tompkinsx

    @virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

    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.

    @virginmedia the worst company for broadband @richardbranson and your name is attached to it. @Offcom please investigate the shambles off an outfit

    Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Eight Ash Green, England

    Looks like #VirginMedia is on the verge of falling over again. Had connection issues over the last half hour including Twitter not loading, *** pushes failing and Zoom being slow to connect. But weirdly I can still run a solid speed test.

  • 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

    @richstrickland @LDNPeter I usually connect to virgin media, but always have to sign in, and for some reason every time at Wanstead it says I'm not registered

  • 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!

    @virginmedia my father in law has late stage dementia and doesn't recognise family, nor speak most of the time, his house is being sold to pay for care, how can we cancel his Virgin package he no longer lives in the house..... password unknown!

  • 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

    @virginmedia hi virgin now a other problem since my Internet went down when I reported it the advisor said they should put 15 pound credit on my bill hasn't happen as it was down for that long.

    Tom-Stockton. No DMs without asking please. (@tomstocktontees) reported

    @virginmedia #virginmedia made a complaint to these clowns after having three weeks of a locked account. Their response was “login to your account” #fuckinguseless

    @virginmedia is your broadband status checker not working? Doesn't seem to be here...

  • AndrewW12290183
    Andy W (@AndrewW12290183) reported

    @virginmedia Still yet to happen. Plus you will still keep my money for a TV subscription that I never signed up for. Virgin does not reward customer loyalty. I also see you think customers issues are funny

  • TomBaggott96
    Tom Baggott (@TomBaggott96) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service via telephone call is absolutely atrocious.

    Elizabeth Ellis (@LizEllisPianist) reported

    Ghastly customer service from @virginmedia #O2mobile , no resolution to an issue which started in August 2024 ! Beyond a joke at this point ! Legal route is now the only way forward with this !

    @JoshCF_ I’m with virgin media going up to £92 pm for phone & broadband when contract ends in September. I’ve been happy with the service but over £50 pm difference going with sky is just ridiculous.

  • dougbowski
    Paul Douglass (@dougbowski) reported

    @virginmedia Why is dealing with your customer services such a pain? Contract renewal for broadband only - £84 nearly double. Get in touch, 3 different departs, offers from £77 down to £44 then up to £53 all for the same deal. I’m thinking I will just leave for @Vodafone

  • Huxleypiguk
    Bob Price - bobsrailrelics (@Huxleypiguk) reported

    Another two tries today. One I had to give up after 55 minutes waiting, now on 44 minutes. Seriously @virginmedia you are now a joke. Was just going to cancel my TV, I am seriously looking up Broadband alternatives while on hold.
