  @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 All of our WiFi appliances stopped working at the exact same time. The WiFi keeps trying to connect but just whirls and whirls. No issues with our appliances

  @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!!

  @BBCNews please help. @virginmedia refusing to make an 87 year old with a heart condition who needs her telephone 24/7 for her emergency button a priority. Not sending an engineer for ANOTHER 6 DAYS.

  @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. I’m lost for words

  @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 Though I am dyslexic I have painstakingly done this on multiple devices and have photos to show It - not posting them publicly but it does not recognise that password 😢 A search on line suggests the problem is not unique. I have one hour to call the manufacturer if you advice.

  @virginmedia awful disgusting customer service. 3 different agents 3 conflicting replies and told other were lies! What has happened to virgin? Supervisor was so rude. Didn't listen and kept interrupting me with robot replies. #terriblecustomerservice #badcustomerservice

  Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported 30 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.

  Q. What kind of moronic company thinks it enhances customer service by only allowing communication via WhatsApp on a phone? A. @virginmedia! @SkyUK here I come !

  @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 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??

  Be careful if you ever want to cancel a @virginmedia account, I wrote to them, twice as per their T&C because you can never get through on chat or phone, they deny receipt of letters because you cant send recorded delivery so they just keep sending bills and chasing payments

• 
  Tony Patis-Stannard (@tonyps1977) reported 49 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia your service is shocking and spent 40mins on the phone to be told you can’t connect my call and to try again, you have my contact details get in touch with me as I want to speak to someone about the service I’m not getting…

• 
  Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported 51 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @virginmedia It’s everything downstream of the LAN ports, so wifi on the box is on and working but all his wired network is offline. I have asked him to check all the cabling to make sure it’s all connected.

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 53 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  After a mammoth session on the phone to 6 of your departments to arrange interim broadband given your service failed in Nov. & won't be fixed to March I spoke to a helpful chap called David in the Customer Care Dept before I was cut off. Can you help reconnect me @virginmedia 🙏🏻

  @virginmedia Hi I have an issue with my current plan? It says I’ve cancelled my O2 benefits but I never received the sim nor did I cancel.

  @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Left VM after 10 years! They are ****!

• 
  🌸🌻Owen🌻🌸 (@SmoothBrainOwen) reported 6 minutes ago

  @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Virgin media were diabolical when I was with them for telly and Internet. Charged an arm and a leg, nothing ever worked. They tried the same **** with kit plus early exit fees - even though I left at the end of the contract.

• 
  Dave Rogers (@DaveRogers27) reported 7 minutes ago

  @Grimmy01942 @Simon_Whale @virginmedia They did this to me, it was the final straw. I sacked them off and got BT fibre broadband, never looked back.

  SFB-Mod (@cycleprawn) reported 7 minutes ago

  @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Scum company. Lying cheats on their OS call centres. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced.

• 
  DWS | Sound lighting Video installation services (@DWsound) reported 14 minutes ago

  @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Was with VM at old residence. Service was fin, suddenly one saturday phone, tv & Internet stopped working. A week later an engineer came out, we had been unplugged by an engineer on that Saturday for a new connection. VM offered a pittance of compensation. Told them to stick it

• 
  R.L. MacMurray 🇬🇧 (@DeviateDefiant) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt I've switched, I'm getting an Openreach FTTP line installed in a couple of weeks 👍 I've gone through BT, not sure if I'll stick with them, or just cancel within the 14 days - but that line gives me access to tons more ISPs. Latency will be way better than old Virgin coax too.

  @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Go with zen internet, 15 years and zero issues . Don’t go with the big ones

  @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Yeah imagine getting shafted for being a loyal customer

  Jessica Simpson 😺🐶🐾 (@Jess_Simpson645) reported 19 minutes ago

  @virginmedia The outage was a nightmare for me, important online tasks could not be completed. Had to spend ages online trying to find a solution to jobs that could not be done offline. Managed to finally speak to someone at Virginmedia and shown how to get update some progress. Finally, I have got back online again.

  Top Cat (@SpinCat1) reported 21 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have heard from a distressed customer who’s having their correspondence CONTINUALLY ignored by your CEO’s office AND your “resolutions” office. You have also decided to substantially increase their monthly payments before their contract has ended. UNACCEPTABLE!!
