  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 1 minute ago 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.

  @virginmedia I had already look at this page previously. And when we have issues there is no indication on what it could be, I. E the *********** light is in as if its connected

  Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported 5 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia @virginmedia can have no rival to the worst customer service out there! Said resolved an issue after held for over an hour only to find it’s not and I now can’t get back in touch. 2nd day work ruined

  Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported 9 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 They haven’t got through to anyone to cancel it yet?

  @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.

  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 26 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.

  @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 :(

  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 34 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.

  @virginmedia I’m going into my 5 week of problems with this crap company they say they will investigate but nothing, no compensation nothing.

• 
  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 38 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

  Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported 39 minutes ago from Wainscott, England

  @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

• 
  Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported 42 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia Yes I have checked the service status, it is the first thing I do & all was fine. The issues is with the cable Ethernet & the phone connection in the Hub 4. I don’t use your WiFi setup as my house is fully cabled for networking. I am a Network Architect, so have done basic tests

  Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported 47 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 Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

  Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported 53 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia Yes I have chased and chased and spent 4 hours today on WhatsApp, no advise just can't help because I have outstanding bill....no the line isn't active because it was ported over to Community Fibre on 8th July

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 54 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @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.

  I’ve had 3 hours sleep, I’m trying to catch up and within 10 mins I’ve had four calls from **** bags pretending to be from Virgin Media. The next **** to do this, I’ll be tracking your location and paying you a ******* visit! 😡

• 
  ✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported 58 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @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

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 58 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?

  @virginmedia Don’t need the speed testing downstairs that’s fine just upstairs used to be normal but I do need someone tho come lay the cab,e back down

• 
  Denny Wright (@DennyTWright) reported 3 minutes ago

  @seanhg72 @virginmedia I’d be fuming as I use my phone as an alarm and it’s nearby incase of family emergency.

• 
  Lisa (@LisaRacheal) reported 7 minutes ago

  Worst company ever @virginmedia They say the same thing over and over again instead of just sending an engineer to actually fix it. I don’t work for you, you take my money so provide the service

• 
  dawnieC (@CorkinDawn) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Plus convenient for you to get out of the compensation clause, restoring it for a few hours. The latest update showing is fix by 5 August at 16:08, so another whole day without internet. Is this a new fault or the last one not fixed properly?

• 
  Dave Wright (@DavidPaintdw) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia haven’t you just been fined for making it hard to cancel. It’s nearly impossible day 2 still no reply

• 
  rhi (@travichughes) reported 9 minutes ago

  @j_ball13 @virginmedia our files or something so we couldn’t even join back on that network

• 
  Kate and her girls (@kateandhergirls) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Your chat colleague already looked into it and was incredibly rude and basically said tough you’re an existing customer on a contract and we don’t help our loyal customers, just new ones 🙄

• 
  Luis Alvarez (@alvarezluisf) reported 14 minutes ago

  Does anyone else in Ireland has @VirginMediaIE as their mobile data provider? It's THE WORST service out there! God do I regret switching to Virgin Media, this mistake has cost me money and patience.

• 
  Militia Matt (@DrealSMAK) reported 16 minutes ago

  @PaulTurner140 @virginmedia Oh I know this. I did DM and they’ve given some instructions. If those don’t work I’ll be gone. Can’t be paying for rubbish service

• 
  Ravi Pal (@ravipal1214) reported 16 minutes ago

  I gave you my proposed resolution three times, two working pods shipped together, pre activated and 50% off until both function as am losing productivity and your service isn’t useful for my work. @virginmedia since I have been asked to cancel- I don’t think that proposal matters anymore.
