  Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported 2 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!!

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 3 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 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?

  Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported 9 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

  @virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

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

  @MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee

  @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…

  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 28 minutes ago from Thundersley, England

  @virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

  Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported 29 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @virginmedia I have never been able to access the app. Its says i will receive an email to verify it but never arrives. Ive contacted virgin a few times but the issue doesn't get resolved!

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 35 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @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.

  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 37 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

  jordan lockey (@LockeyJordan) reported 41 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia I am not paying the bill until you fix your ****** internet plus your trying to scam us by raising our bill to £225 even though it's supposed to be £130 and we have never missed a payment

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

  @BorisJohnson @virginmedia @O2 Imagine being part of a club or a group where roaming could be free for every mobile phone network automatically across Europe We should join that club sometime.

  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 48 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.

  Robert Smith (@RobertSSmith66) reported 53 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  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 !

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

  @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 💔

  Emma Spurdle (@EmmaSpurdle) reported 2 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Yes but it’s no help if it keeps changing, this is the third estimated time fix it’s shown since Thursday

• 
  Simon (@cleggy1966) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia customer service is an absolute shambles. Had an appointment with an engineer for this morning due to issues in HD4 and because the wider issue has been resolved, you cancelled my appointment and didn’t even tell me. I had a separate issue to the outage. Shocking

• 
  Dr. William Weir (@WilliamWeirFun) reported 11 minutes ago

  I was wrong about it being streamed on YouTube like previous years. But, if you're a Virgin Media customer the match will be available to watch at no additional cost on channel 526. #PSGARS #champi̇onsleaguefinal

  John Priestley (@JohnPriestley70) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I am trying to link. I can get as far as confirm transfer. After a few seconds I get an error message page saying something about expired, then it jumps to VM page with login. Could not get a screenshot of the error message, it disappeared that fast.

  @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia dude virgin media probably dont even know what theyre charging you for their customer service is so *** talk to an ombudsman theyll get back to you much quicker

• 
  Steven Jackson (@StevieJ____) reported 17 minutes ago

  @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Why did you not just log a formal complaint then go to the ombudsman when they say they won't let you leave without paying the fees? The ombudsman would clearly side with you and you probably would have already been with a new provider by now

• 
  the_beeb_23 (@thebeeb_23) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Oh, I can think you should rest easy in bed knowing that this will never happen. I on the other hand have to spend every moment of every day telling people about what a bunch of front b0ttoms your organisation is and how 5hitty sticks should be deployed to keep away from you

  O2 (@O2) reported 21 minutes ago

  @j2l_971 Hi it's us from Virgin Media O2. We're sorry about ongoing issues that you're having with your account. If you like we can look into this however we would need to do this in a private chat because we would need more info.

  @virginmedia Its ok I've managed to fix the issue, it was down to low frequency. Thanks its all sorted now.

  Lawrence Landray (@Glawsloz) reported 29 minutes ago

  I cannot wait to find a way out of my @virginmedia fibre contract. What a shambles of a company. I book an appointment because my Hub4 isn’t working and they cancel it but don’t tell me. When I call to find out what’s happening I’m the told to “buy a dongle” so we have internet
