  @MayorofLondon Shame they provide the most terrible customer service and treat you like they've got you by the short and curlies! Pay £400 a year for a service, custome service agents are like robots and stuff you for days when it doesn't work with no alternative offered! @virginmedia

  @virginmedia 8/ have to pay if it came down to a third party router intimating that the fault was mine. No appointment till Thursday! I tried to explain that I care for an elderly lady and he wouldn't let me speak and kept interrupting me which was incredibly rude. I advised him to let me

  Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported 34 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 my wifi is terrible, how do i go about getting some boosters so that my signal is as strong as you promise? I can't access the app (thats another unresolved problem!) Also how do i go about receiving the £100 credit that you also promise? Thank you.

  @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.

  Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported 46 minutes ago from Dartford, England

  @virginmedia We have broadband but no WiFi. Rang customer services on Thursday lunchtime to be told that although nothing shows up in the service checker it' known fault and should be back today, now it's almost two days without WiFi, just want update from someone who knows what's happening

  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 46 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.

  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 48 minutes ago 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.

  Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported 56 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?

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 60 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

  CrankyGeek (@pepetideo) reported 6 minutes ago from Oxford, England

  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.

  Mat ⚙️ (@NotEnoughTECH) reported 8 minutes ago

  @justarieldotcom @virginmedia AI happened. Then no one cared about the service as long as DD was paid on time.

• 
  Lynne Devlin (@lynne_devlin) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Absolutely appalled at the incompetent awful level of service. Over 3 hours on live chat trying to sort out my 96 year old grandmother contract as you are trying to charge her an obscene amount of money and I am no further forward.

  Anyone having issues with Virgin Media TV in the NG16 area? Broadband fine, TV nothing working.

• 
  Bill Graham (@graham69717) reported 11 minutes ago

  @entrustTMF @virginmedia Only way to get good service is to use BT/Open Reach as provider; but you will pay! I have had Shell, TalkTalk and now Utility Warehouse as my contract changed hands. All equally poor in their own way. At last house, in the middle of nowhere, had BT, and never had a problem.

  Michael Day (@JustMike2K24) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia My WiFi and overall service has been up and down for over 2 weeks now. I’ve done all of the trouble shooting. I’ve checked the service. I done the old switch off and on. I just need to get somebody to visit and do it as I am unable to wfh because of it.

  @virginmedia and your team has left the chat twice with no solution!

  Richard Smith (@rickysmith1965) reported 21 minutes ago

  @ClearlyOptional @virginmedia I have the same date for resolution, that will mean a full week without Internet service or any of the other services I pay for.

  @virginmedia No.. I called at 14.35 and was told I’ll be sent a text message once fixed as there is an issue in the area.
