• 
  Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported 2 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia I tried again today. After faffing with phone, then faulty website, and back to phone, I eventually found a very helpful assistant who managed to convince me to stay; happily. It was close though, as much room for improvement. Please sort out your customer services & website.

  @virginmedia I contacted customer services for an update on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I was informed by your Twitter account I wouldn’t need to send my current phone back until I receive my new one. I was then informed by the gentleman on the phone my new phone won’t be sent until I send this

  @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Broadband down in my area, this is frustrating. Reckon it’ll be fixed by 9. No tv & Broadband during the school holidays

  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 7 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  After 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, I’ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. 😔. #TimeforaChange

  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 9 minutes ago 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.

  @virginmedia any chance you can get your website to work? Change Package Chat does nothing! Links sent via mail do not work! Hyperlink sent by text doesn’t work! Call centre (working from home in India?) worse than useless! Ever heard of Customer Centric design? #Useless

  @AnnG50707311 @virginmedia I always haggled with them and got them to come in at new customer prices. Surprising what they will give you when you let them think you are leaving. Also let them know what other companies will offer you to become a customer as they may match the offer

  Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported 18 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia Yes I have checked the service status, it is the first thing I do & all was fine. The issues is with the cable Ethernet & the phone connection in the Hub 4. I don’t use your WiFi setup as my house is fully cabled for networking. I am a Network Architect, so have done basic tests

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 21 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’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?

  Carol Dover (@CarolB29041964) reported 21 minutes ago from Stifford, England

  Just how **** are Virgin Media...my email was down for two evenings and probably the days as well earlier in the week, and now it's down again. Virgin Media i need to access my emails....this level of service is unacceptable. I'm paying for this crap service! @virginmedia

  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 24 minutes ago from Thundersley, England

  @virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking

• 
  Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported 27 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @virginmedia somehow you have reset my Dad’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?

• 
  Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported 30 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia Thankyou. The site still won't let me check status.. reported this.. says your site down. I've now spoken to someone as I need Internet for work. Someone coming out on Saturday!

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 33 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

  Jay Bourley (@drummerJ83) reported 33 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia Hi, the VMGo app is telling me I need to upgrade to watch live tv but I’ve got the right package to have access and have until today watched live via the app. Is there an issue? Tried restarting it etc.

• 
  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 38 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

• 
  ✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported 40 minutes ago from Romford, England

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

• 
  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 48 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  Hey @virginmedia Parents new 360 box not working and engineer not available to come out til the 27th!!!! Not good enough! 😔

• 
  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 49 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia Think it's more to do with the upgrade work then; when I select Help from the Help & Settings menu, the screen goes blank. I'm thinking it needs a network connection to work. Any plans for a Hub with built in 02 sim to increase connectivity? Currently hot spotting my phone.

  @virginmedia Hi, I would like to cancel my recent broadband order. I found a better deal.

  MrBazza 🎬 (@MrBazza) reported 6 minutes ago

  @O2 I have 3 mobile lines alongside volt package @VirginMedia broadband and an open complaint about contract rates. Your app is quoting me much more than what I currently pay! With Volt double data, I only need a low base plan. Please DM me to sort a fair deal.

  @Rugster_CDS @DianneProc24557 @Starlink I now pay £40, going to to £56. I'm with Virgin Media. I can't afford to be fussy as I have a very bad credit score 😭

  @virginmedia is there an issue with broadband in Leixlip area today? Seems to be poor connectivity

• 
  Paul Wright (@selhurstpaw1) reported 14 minutes ago

  @biggle1908 Avoid Virgin Media at all costs. Call centres are overseas. Back up if you have real issues is very slow. Regular price increases. When you renew your contract, it will be considerably higher.

• 
  Amrit Phull (@Amrit_Phull) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have now received three seperate text messages saying the problem has been fixed, when it clearly hasn’t……..I’m still offline. Not only is your service terrible, you add to that deceptive and wrongful communication to your customers. I expect compensation

• 
  TubzNetz (@TubzNetz) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia smart move switching from analogue to fibre landlines during business hours, causing broadband to reset, what retard in change control approved that in statement of work?

• 
  Chris Davis (@cdavo25) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Send one of your 'engineers' to come round and remove this internet because they cant fix a thing 5 weeks this has been going on now and we're lied to consistently! We're sick to death of it plus we're unable to watch we have paid for! Its embarrassing

• 
  Dan (@DanMontgomery87) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I’ve tried to use your online web chat to speak with a so called “agent” who didn’t respond for 5 minutes and used language that AI would use, if this is the kind of customer service you guys will be using then I’ll be looking to take my custom elsewhere
