  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 7 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?

• 
  Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported 11 minutes ago from Rayleigh, England

  @Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

  @virginmedia Your link says it can’t find any issues, there are issues. Can you advise if it’s being investigated? What’s the eta? Thanks.

  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 18 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia They haven’t got through to anyone to cancel it yet?

• 
  Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported 18 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  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

  @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 Williams (@katie_2521) reported 24 minutes ago from Wickford, England

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

• 
  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 28 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!

  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 28 minutes ago 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.

  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 30 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia 4/ I work from home so asked what can I do in the meantime? No help given. I asked to speak to a supervisor. Waited 15 mins to speak to Supervisor ( 45 mins total already spent on phone)..

• 
  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 33 minutes ago 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.

  Janet E Baldwin 🌸 (@JanetEBaldwin) reported 34 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @_andy_pandy_ @virginmedia Outrageous 😱 I’d cancel my subscription.

• 
  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 35 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia Phoned, and as expected; they can't just "put this right". The equipment and service are working fine. That the dish is broken and there is little slack to enable me to bury the cable deeper is due to local engineers. Will just have to dig trench, break cable and wait again!

• 
  VenusEnvi (@VenusEnvi) reported 39 minutes ago 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!!

• 
  Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported 45 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.

• 
  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 47 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.

  Gerry (@guinnessaddick) reported 48 minutes ago from Dartford, England

  @thorogodies @Missbwattie @virginmedia We don’t have many problems with ours, surprised you do, as you’re only round the corner, must be a box problem.

• 
  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 52 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia 1/ I've been without internet access since last night. I called this morning at 830 and did reset as told, didn't work so was told it'd be passed on to network engineers and they'd get back to me if it didn't come back on within the hour.

  Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported 52 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.

  Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported 56 minutes ago from Rayleigh, England

  @virginmedia Sort it out Virgin IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!! Can’t even log on to get service updates 😡😡😡

  The weirdest thing with this virgin media being down if i turn my vpn on twitter will load if i turn it off it wont load

  Honest John (@HonestJ89478453) reported 5 minutes ago

  @EoinLenihan Virgin Media promoted by FFG without public consultation to status of a Public Broadcasting Co Should not be allowed on X to use an a/c when reporting on a news incident eg. Skerries brawl which denies the public to make comment When they allow only selected accounts reply

• 
  mr b (@uxbridgeblade) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia You keep moving the fix day by day,trying to run a business from home ,your service is not reliable at all

• 
  NUFCR (@NUFCR2) reported 9 minutes ago

  @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt They did this to me last year so I just phoned up and said exactly what you’ve said here, why should my price go up when new customer prices are going down. Woman on the phone matched the promo rate 👍🏻

• 
  Oscar (@OsCraven) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia can you improve your customer app experience? Your app is broken and your *** clearly aren't using it to see how broken it is. 1. App refreshes when swapping apps to get your requested information disconnecting Comms with a human with no ability to return 2. Unable to lodge a complaint within app 3. 2 plus hour waiting times on phone 4. Showing incorrect information about my contract (says it's ended, but it definitely hasn't) I've been without WiFi for 3 days and once again I'm stuck having to reach out on twitter to be heard.

  @virginmedia absolutely disgusting that we have no tv or broadband until tomorrow afternoon. I can’t wait to move house so we never have to use you again !!

• 
  Ewan McLachlan (@original1hanwoo) reported 20 minutes ago

  @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Ive been charged by @virginmedia for using a service after I left the property and cancelled everything. Their customer service are so inept that after multiple phone calls etc they still dont understand the situation and have passed the £500 pound charge onto debt collectors.

• 
  Craig McArdle (@HoMcArdle) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Already done this many times with the same outcome. You have made no attempt to fix this issue. I’ve responded several times with my account details and you do nothing. Reported to ofcom and now dealing with CISAS. You have everything you need already

  @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia Agreed, as a Bok supporter,when we crunched them half to death last November they started to call for scrumming laws to be changed,good to see that the ABs are back,looking forward to a tough series now…just get rid of that **** Ben Smith he’s giving AB rugby a bad name.
