  Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported 2 minutes ago from Dartford, England

  @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 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.

  @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 💔

  @virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

  @virginmedia wi-fi down yet again for about the 5th time this week. Constantly going down over last few weeks as well, absolute shambles.

  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 15 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

  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 17 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

  Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported 19 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @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 been struggling for days with home WiFi. Tried to contact you guys but cant find a number Please help

  Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported 26 minutes ago from Romford, England

  On phone to @virginmedia for 55 mins to cancel, speak to 4 different people about a mis-sold service and then when I ask them to produce my contract they hang up. Not happy.

  @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 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

  @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.

  Liam Stanley💙 (@SeasideAPNP) reported 43 minutes ago 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

  ✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported 47 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia My phone is now over two weeks late, which isn’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. I’m not gonna pay my bills with no phone…

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 49 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @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

  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 51 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.

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

  @virginmedia John - lights are on but the external fault has already been established. It is a contractor that has to deal with the issue - one claimed to have done it but it failed to work - now you contractor is failing to respond to requests by your colleagues 4 updates on a new commission

  Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported 57 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia Obviously i don't have proof because your site doesn't say send recorded so why would i, my number was ported in July and I wrote same time, I have no reason to not send letter and you can see from any data usage that I stopped using your service

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 59 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I raised the complaint on 14/7 and I’ve heard nothing

  X (@XONYT_) reported 3 minutes ago

  I switched my network from EE to O2 because I wanted 1Gbps broadband for my home, and Virgin Media offered me a discount, including unlimited everything and unmaxed speeds on my mobile through O2, which I already had on EE. Tell me why O2 is so much worse than EE, and why I cannot get a signal in many places. #pissed

  NC (@deputynclegg) reported 4 minutes ago

  @Benleo @ChrisSleven @virginmedia I concur......Virgin are crap...and I moved to Sky at the earliest chance I could....but can also say Sky aren't much better - and they both make it as difficult as possible to actually talk to someone if you have a problem - I would say though that Virgin are the worst

• 
  The Emperor Poofius Maximus (@IlPoofto) reported 5 minutes ago

  @Benleo @virginmedia No customer service in the evenings and weekends, when people are most likely to need it...

• 
  Carrie Clarke (@MrsCClarkey) reported 8 minutes ago

  Come on @virginmedia my elderly mother has been without TV since 14th May. Your outage updates are wrong every day. No way of talking to a human. You need to do better!!!!

  Big Ape (@keithman45) reported 21 minutes ago

  Hi @virginmedia I've just received a text to say I'm being charged for "unreturned equipment ". But your engineer took it with him. Can't get through on 150. Can you help?

  Bob holness (@rsole1212) reported 23 minutes ago

  @Benleo @virginmedia Vodafone is very good for internet, we've got it. Never had a problem and if you've got a Vodafone phone you get discount I think.

  Marilyn (@womaninblue1050) reported 28 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Thanks. Now I know it’s the faults team I will call that option. That’s all I wanted to know. You cannot help as it’s not for me and I will now help the person it is for. You’ve always managed to help me in the past but you cannot on this occasion.

  @Benleo @virginmedia Try @NatWindscreens they would give Virgin a run for their money. Tried calling 5 times - different person each time- 5 calls today, 3 emails and voice mail. They have taken my money, realised that window screen needs calibration and offered date in TWO weeks. 3rd world service
