    @virginmedia what is so difficult about customer service these days? Spent the last 4 days going through the repetitive process of checking out WiFi connection, eventually got a number to call TL get cut off after a 30 min wait! Not impressed!

    @virginmedia I can't sign in as I no longer hold an account, your CS don't care and obviously fobbing me off and not raising complaints as requested, I will just pursue via FCA and/or trading standards.

    You only know how sitty a service provider relly is when something goes wrong. Was with @virginmedia for over 5 years. Now that i decided to leave they have charged me for 2 months with me already with another provider. After complaining they take 2 months to refund you and now that i sent them their router they somehow misplaced it and charged me 40 quid saying i didnt send it (even thought i had a call last week where i gave them the receipt) If you are their customer.. Get out as soon as possible and remember to block the direct debits. They cannot be trusted with your money.

    @virginmedia My WIFI is unbearable and affects my day of online meetings. I’ve done the usual troubleshooting and have your app too. Calling your support is useless and I can’t get through to a human. What do I need to do to resolve my issues? Message your CEO?

  • HilaryGurden
    Hilary Gurden (@HilaryGurden) reported from Abingdon, England

    @virginmedia can you tell us if the service is down. We have had no tv or internet for the last half an hour

    @virginmedia Internet is not working properly in my pc and your virgin app does not work either. It has been like that since last night.

    @virginmedia what's the best department to get My Virgin Media support? I am a customer and it won't let me register an account using my email address although my bill is sent to the same email.

    @virginmedia Hi again. Just letting you know we’ve made contact with him and all seems fine. So please can we cancel the engineer for Friday.

    @virginmedia how do I speak to someone about my mobile phone. I haven’t been able to swap my sim as my sim port is broken, so today you have cut me off, despite me still paying bills!!!

  • kqbrain
    Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia It's always the same response. No service impacting issues reported. However, the service is pretty bad. Wondering if @virginmedia network is capable of handling traffic or deliberately doing throttling. @Ofcom

  • safdar
    Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Followed all you suggested actions, and still no joy. Also have a complaint open COM103973949, someone should have got in touch within 24h. 2 days and still nothing.

    Another day of pathetic experience on @virginmedia broadband service. No broadband service in RG6 area. Regretting my decision to switch. @Ofcom @DowndetectorUK

  • pepetideo
    CrankyGeek (@pepetideo) reported from Oxford, England

    @virginmedia @FuzziePieRat Yes.. And how ****** up is it that you treat your existing paying customers so badly they have to attempt to do these hacks to get what you are freely giving away to new customers?

    Trying to cancel our Virgin Broadband what a nightmare. On hold for 90 mins still no one answers from the cancellation department. #virginmedia @virginmedia

    @virginmedia hi, I’m trying to contact you regarding a mobile phone contract I wish to cancel, but can’t get through by phone and the chat function won’t pick up my problem

    @virginmedia Exactly - hands washed of the issue. I don’t need an update, you’ve told me it’s done. It isn’t.

    @O2 signed up 2yr sim only Fri 12/06. received msg "my new number active" but I put in a pac code to keep my old number AND the new SIM hasn't arrived yet. Also I keep getting booted out the login page now of my virgin media account. Not impressed at all. Considering cancelling

    @virginmedia I have to say your customer service is absolutely pathetic and one of the worst I’ve ever had the misfortune to have to deal with. Almost 2 weeks since installation and it’s still not all working

  • Georgialisa
    Georgia Lisa (@Georgialisa) reported

    @virginmedia you’ve put the price of my broadband up yet the connectivity is worse - I cannot get connection upstairs in my house and my devices hive/ring etc are no longer working and you have no contact email on your website - poor service

  • FrazzzYT
    Frazzz (@FrazzzYT) reported

    I guess @virginmedia hardware can't handle a little rain? No wonder they go down so much in Scotland -_-

    @arabiaclaire @AnGabharCliste @rte I'm exactly the same ! Virgin Media who run The Tonight Show with Master Gaslighter & Deflector Shane Coleman is just as bad. Thank God for Netflix !

  • JameskRobbo
    James Robertson (@JameskRobbo) reported

    @virginmedia I’m forever wasting my time trying to cancel my service but because the email is old and I can’t access it, you can’t do anything

  • andreac14064810
    andrea crosby (@andreac14064810) reported

    @virginmedia And yet two days later the email I was promised has not arrived I’m not surprised it’s your usual poor service take money from customers but very little help
