    Ben tried contacting @virginmedia because someone has ****** up our account during our house move. He was ignored and could hear the girl typing in the background. He tried saying hello repetitively but no one responded. Not acceptable to treat your customers this way!!!!

  • jasmine_marien Jay™ (@jasmine_marien) reported

    @virginmedia No diagnostic issues with the Hub either. Not sure what else there is to do - I’d more than happy get WiFi Max to get a Pod, or get a Volt subscription (so I get a free one or at least the credit), but I can’t seem to change plans/packages anywhere.

  • Eddie_Vermeer Eddie Vermeer (@Eddie_Vermeer) reported

    @virginmedia a rival company to yours has just severed the Virgin cable in the road when installing their own cable. There's a hole outside where you can access it to fix it. Except when I called, the soonest anyone can reach this area to fix it is about 72 hours.

  • Wa72279508Danny Danny Walker (@Wa72279508Danny) reported

    @virginmedia You should have a two calls from yourselves to me saying I won’t be charged anything as I’ve never had a service. You say it’s recorded so you will have the recordings

  • Peopleschamp78 Mr Wonder (@Peopleschamp78) reported

    @virginmedia Hi my broadband is so spotty constant dropouts plus I’ve had a new router and still the issues occur

  • antpharoah Nalles (@antpharoah) reported

    @virginmedia Unreliable and quite frankly a joke service

  • KateHollands1 Kate Hollands (@KateHollands1) reported

    @virginmedia Ice copied the link over to my laptop instead of my phone. It still asksme to sign in

  • KateHollands1 Kate Hollands (@KateHollands1) reported

    @virginmedia It's asking me to sign in John. I can't sign in. That's why I need help

  • ToniMarshall84 Toni Marshall (@ToniMarshall84) reported

    @virginmedia I logged complaint in Jan & heard nothing, had to ring for an update, didn't get the best service there & found no complaint was logged. The guy said he'd log one and I'd get an email, at no point did I say that the complaint was resolved but got an email to say it's resolved!!!

  • PnePeteC Pete Clenshaw 💙🇺🇦 (@PnePeteC) reported

    @virginmedia I'm currently receiving no emails. Is there a problem?

  • ElJaffoGuzman ElJaffoGuzman (@ElJaffoGuzman) reported

    @virginmedia Every time I enquire about it "I'm not sure" "I cant tell you" every time I get a technician out. They say its utilisation and nothing they can do about it. They change the router. Check connections. Then same **** different day
