  @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 No issues... I need to speak to someone I've tried everything... Reboot, reset and nothing is working

  Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported 5 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

  @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

  @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 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 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 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.

  @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.

  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 27 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 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

  jordan lockey (@LockeyJordan) reported 35 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

  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 !

  Carol Dover (@CarolB29041964) reported 44 minutes ago from Stifford, England

  Just how **** are Virgin Media...my email was down for two evenings and probably the days as well earlier in the week, and now it's down again. Virgin Media i need to access my emails....this level of service is unacceptable. I'm paying for this crap service! @virginmedia

  @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.

  Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported 54 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.

  Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported 55 minutes ago from Wickford, England

  @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

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 56 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 56 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?

  @DAZNBoxing @virginmedia Black screen for a paid event is piss poor. It’s the same every single time

• 
  Kevin (@TheDoctorMagic) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Then use a more competent delivery partner. I was told to be in from 8am to 6pm. They eventually delivered at 8.45PM. @Yodel_delivery are not competent and make it impossible to contact anyone. @EvriDeliveryCom are equally as bad. Neither care about customer satisfaction.

• 
  Gloucester Glass (@gloucesterglass) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Yes, it said issues with broadband and tv, but it’s been 3 consecutive days now. Plus like I said I can’t get mobile signal and I don’t live in the middle of nowhere so dependent on wifi calls unfortunately.

• 
  Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I'm therefore trying to understand whether there are any additional checks or blocking options available at Virgin Media's end, as I have already exhausted the options available to me as a customer.

• 
  Georgia Lisa (@Georgialisa) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia you’ve put the price of my broadband up yet the connectivity is worse - I cannot get connection upstairs in my house and my devices hive/ring etc are no longer working and you have no contact email on your website - poor service

• 
  GingaGill💙👩🏻‍🎓😷  (@GingaGill) reported 8 minutes ago

  @SarahLudford @virginmedia @O2 Yep…sadly the service has declined since the two companies merged. They blocked my account for weeks for ‘ security reasons’. ( I had changed pw & looking for new deals) No one seemed unable to unblock it. Took several phone calls/DM’s/ emails etc.

  ORIGINAL GOONER JOHN (@1947originalgo1) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @Trebor0501 It's absolute rubbish this stupid new box, it deletes your shows by mistake, error code keeps coming up while trying to record, and when you ring up you get someone from India who wants to know the ins and outs of Jacks arse, Grrrrr.

  Dr Amir Hamid (@DrAmirHamid) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia we have not had broadband since the 11th of June! You estimate it will only be fixed on the 16th. With no other communications. Very very poor
