    @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.

    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.

    @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 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?

    Sadly, the @horror_channel catchup service isn’t on @virginmedia , which is a total bummer.

  • MrsDyer25

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

  • RohanAtaa

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

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

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

    @virginmedia Hi, yeah done that - no issues

  • 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. 👍

  • 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

  • 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 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

  • 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.

    @O2 I’m actually with @virginmedia mobile but since they joined with you our data service is rubbish.. we used to use data more than WiFi as that was how good it was.. but not anymore x

  • SerSchnuupi

    @virginmedia my Internet is down. My hub is telling me to visit the virgin media app but the app is not working and I cannot access any of my account information.

    Steven Edis (@SteveEdis) reported

    Oh no @virginmedia yet again I have no internet and you're letting me down. For the umpteenth time this year. People, don't sign up to @virginmedia the reliability of the service is truly awful

    @virginmedia Our remote is broken. I’ve been trying to order a new one since last week, but your website just shows a “something’s broken, come back later” page. Can you help?

  • PaulHos93404413
    Paul Hoskins (@PaulHos93404413) reported

    @virginmedia 7th March which is now far too late. No other response from any media (email, phone, website). @virginmedia if this is how new customers are treated…..?? I don’t want to be a customer of such poor service.

  • Juleseypoo
    Juleseypoo (@Juleseypoo) reported

    @virginmedia My landline doesn't seem to be working & I'm not prepared to call on my mobile & pay the charges. I think you contacting me is the least you could do after such poor service! You should also be talking to the agent!!

  • ManikhamSharon
    Margy (@ManikhamSharon) reported

    @virginmedia There is text and email but right now I want to speak to a human not a text or an email! Another part of virgin that is missing for customers. I would of been completely understanding if there was issues on Friday due to weather not today!

  • Rosieleth32
    Rosie Lethbridge (@Rosieleth32) reported

    .@virginmedia any chance you'll ever show up and setup our broadband? Date been pushed back 3 times now and we're working from home. Each customer service rep states different things and no engineer in sight...

  • ManikhamSharon
    Margy (@ManikhamSharon) reported

    I don't understand why customers cannot be sent an email or text when there will be issues with @virginmedia services We are paying for a service and have chosen to use Virgin as loyal customers we deserve better! How about Virgin updates it's systems for for issues like that?

  • LucyKHumphrey
    Lucy Humphrey (@LucyKHumphrey) reported

    Just had a call from a scammer saying that are calling from @virginmedia, apparently they know my router is playing up and internet service is inconsistent. Can’t imagine why they would think that!
