    @virginmedia so after weeks of unbelievably poor broadband and customer service there was an offer from you to resolve the situation with a web chat at 11am, with a link being provided here. No link. Iโ€™m lost for words

    @virginmedia It's okay I've taken it up with CEDR now and let them resolve it, I'm just highlighting to people how difficult it is to cancel contracts and the fact that VM consistently "loose" letters

    @virginmedia The issue has now been resolved just after my tweet, I was just very angry at the time. Thank you though for responding.

    @virginmedia somehow you have reset my Dadโ€™s Virgin media box, LAN seems to be off and the wifi on it is back on. This is rubbish because we have network setup there with much better hardware than your box. Now none of it works and I am hundreds of miles from his house. Why?

    @virginmedia My phone is now over two weeks late, which isnโ€™t an issue, I understand waiting for one to become available to send but to suggest I send this phone back and go without a phone until one eventually gets sent to me is just ridiculous. Iโ€™m not gonna pay my bills with no phoneโ€ฆ

    @Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

    @virginmedia I performed the reset, it still does not recognise the code. Very disappointed. On Wednesday I wasted 3 hours on the phone talking to 13 of your people one of whom brazenly told me to fix all issues I must buy an upgrade. I am sorry to say the whole experience is abysmal ๐Ÿ’”

    @virginmedia Hi. Have no wifi (green light) and despite rebooting several times have a had no luck. This has happened after following your instruction to reboot for โ€˜faster speedโ€™. Please advise asap - no issues in the area according to your website.

    @virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as Iโ€™ve had one within six months I canโ€™t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

    @virginmedia 11/ I've never been 6 days without internet and help was much more available in the past with virgin. Now, customers are being left high and dry.

    @virginmedia Your link says it canโ€™t find any issues, there are issues. Can you advise if itโ€™s being investigated? Whatโ€™s the eta? Thanks.

    Iโ€™ve had 3 hours sleep, Iโ€™m trying to catch up and within 10 mins Iโ€™ve had four calls from **** bags pretending to be from Virgin Media. The next **** to do this, Iโ€™ll be tracking your location and paying you a ******* visit! ๐Ÿ˜ก

    @virginmedia There is a blockage, that I know - I have had no service since November. I was told it would not be sorted before March 6th. I had been promised 3 call backs from different people in the Exec Department - none have followed up.

    rachel Wheelhouse ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ (@RWheelhouse1) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @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

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Iโ€™ve now been told that there is no complaints team, despite the fact I spoke to them earlier. How is it possible to be so poor?

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Actually thatโ€™s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasnโ€™t. What hope is there when you canโ€™t even get a complaint right?

  • mizznansea
    Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    So trying to cancel @virginmedia services and the stalling tactics being used are not cool. If customers want to leave they have every right to do so. Let them go.

    Wesley Hammer โš’๏ธ (@CouchPotatoUK) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia for a media company that sells amazing broadband, your website is terrible. Just goes in circles, doesn't let you change packages online. Terrible.

  • mizznansea
    Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    @TracyWoodley4 @virginmedia @Virgin Their service has certainly gone down hill and this issue with the call centre is a complete farce. If they can't even get their own internal systems sorted as a telecomms company what hope do we have? My contract is up in March and I will defo be leaving Virgin.

    @virginmedia My 75 year old mums tv not working according to your checker then is a internet issue which will not be repaired until the 18/05/26!. Totally unacceptable! 4 days with no tv or internet I thought you were the best out there clearly not. Be quick or will be cancelled

    @virginmedia ...in 24-48 hours. Will i be compensated for not having a service i am paying for?

  • john1mccarthy
    John M (@john1mccarthy) reported

    @virginmedia yet again I've been let down by you. But I am not surprised. My fault is finally fixed after 43 days without service. Yesterday, I was told I couldn't be put through to the correct team but they would call me back within 24hours. That was 25 hours ago now. ๐Ÿ™„

    Michael Bradley #FBPE #SocialistSunday (@Mike_J_Bradley) reported

    @virginmedia Mines by down at least 24hrs. Ridiculous and told they are working on it. Not good enough considering how much we pay. I live in Liverpool. It seems to be affecting different areas differently. I just get to welcome on the screen and nothing else. Tried rebooting etc nothing

  • gordonwd
    David Gordon (@gordonwd) reported

    @virginmedia So you accept there's been an error processing my order and tell my you can't resolve it - I have to call your customer support team. I call them, get out on hold for 5-10 minutes and the call simply gets disconnected. Been a fan of you guys for years - I'm wavering.
