    @virginmedia hello Merry Christmas. If any one is there today so you know 8f the e mails are down as from early this morning it keeps asking me to put in mu password and then not recognising it but won't let me re set either and I can't send or receive any e mails :(

  • 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.

  • VenusEnvi VenusEnvi (@VenusEnvi) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia what’s the point of asking me to text when I’m ready to set up the new hub if your going to deactivate the old one before I’m ready!! Good job I have unlimited data on my mobile network!!

  • t3xuga 𝒯𝑒𝓍𝓊𝑔𝒶 (@t3xuga) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia with the new price increase it states with don't need to pay any cancellation fees. My contract ends on the Summer, if I were to cancel do I need to pay the remaining months?

  • willhenrywarren William Warren (@willhenrywarren) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia @trickythecat Will affected users get a refund for the lack of service? We haven't had internet for a week.

  • MrChips2000 MrChips (@MrChips2000) reported from Grays, England

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

  • PIPPAaM Pippa Moss (@PIPPAaM) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia we've had atrocious broadband on SE26 4HN for weeks now, it just keeps dropping out and then coming back. I have just had my bill and I'm not really feeling we should have to pay for the service we've had this month.

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

    @virginmedia I've been having problems with my phoneline and it is currently dead. An engineer came on Friday but its still not working. Charges have also been appearing on my phone bill for calls I have not made. This has happened twice since November.

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

    @virginmedia Yes he left a name & phone number, said I should I let him know if I still have issues. I've contacted him 3 times including this morning since his visit last Friday.

  • sinozza Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @ThatNickElse @virginmedia Did you get through in the end Nick...I'm having similar problems to you.

  • alanburkittgray Alan Burkitt-Gray (@alanburkittgray) reported from London, England

    I have hardly ever heard a good word about @virginmedia service. Why is it so hard to fix?

  • MrRockingGooner Mr Rocking Gooner~ Terry 👨‍🎤 (@MrRockingGooner) reported from Romford, England

    @BorisJohnson @virginmedia @O2 Imagine being part of a club or a group where roaming could be free for every mobile phone network automatically across Europe We should join that club sometime.

  • SeasideAPNP Liam Stanley💙 (@SeasideAPNP) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @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

  • sinozza Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I spent over an hour on the phone yesterday trying to get through to a customer service rep only to get cut off. Still waiting to hear on WhatsApp and been on hold this afternoon 45 mins and still holding???? Whats going on??

  • CarlaMorris18 carla morris (@CarlaMorris18) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia personal line breached,customer service a joke told me i cant log complaint, 29 yrs with you and told wont call me back !!!

  • 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.

  • MSROPER10 S (@MSROPER10) reported from London, England

    @cameraoncaught @virginmedia Have you forwarded this to Virgin media internal complaints? In my opinion Virgin have one of the worst customer service teams around but it may reach someone who can act upon internally.

  • MissFayeRay FClay (@MissFayeRay) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia hope you can help please! Our router is a hub 3. It has a constant red light. It’s not over heating, I’ve done multiple hard resets. Any suggestions? Do I need a new router?

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

    @virginmedia I've been having problems with my phoneline and it is currently dead, can't make or receive calls. An engineer came on Friday but its still not working. Charges have been appearing on my phone bill for calls I have not made. This has happened twice since November.

    @virginmedia Our internet speed keeps dropping out, and is anything from 3mb - 20mb (we pay for 100mb) the online steps are no help and nobody answers the phone. Home learning is becoming impossible for the children

  • alisonh_c Alison H-C (@alisonh_c) reported

    @virginmedia shocking service again. Is there anyone in your company who actually cares and can take ownership of problems and do things right first time? If so, please put me in touch. #poorservice #notbotheredaboutcustomers

  • LellyLelly74 Lelly (@LellyLelly74) reported

    @virginmedia It’s no help at all if you have an old account and you need your cheque resent in your married name!

  • DanielHill21 Daniel Hill (@DanielHill21) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia So why do you not have a chat system? I work in a similar industry and we are able to help our customer through chat, phone, online, social media it’s crazy a company of the size of virgin media can’t accommodate us. Not having a go at you I’m just disappointed in the system

  • abbie91376576 abbie (@abbie91376576) reported
