  @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 hope you can help please! Our router is a hub 3. It has a constant red light. It’s not over heating, I’ve done multiple hard resets. Any suggestions? Do I need a new router?

  @virginmedia for a media company that sells amazing broadband, your website is terrible. Just goes in circles, doesn't let you change packages online. Terrible.

  @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

  @virginmedia The issue has now been resolved just after my tweet, I was just very angry at the time. Thank you though for responding.

  @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

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 30 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 💔

  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 32 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.

  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 35 minutes 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.

  Going for Gold (@Gold_Accounting) reported 41 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @BBCNews please help. @virginmedia refusing to make an 87 year old with a heart condition who needs her telephone 24/7 for her emergency button a priority. Not sending an engineer for ANOTHER 6 DAYS.

  @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.

  @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 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 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 :(

  Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported 54 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

  Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported 56 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.

  @PaulWelsh_UK @virginmedia There is no service. 26 November reported - 6th March earliest date for works. I was past to no less than 6 different teams before finally getting somewhere and then being cut off. Anyway welcome home my friend - hope you have more luck than me!

  @virginmedia It's okay I've taken it up with CEDR now and let them resolve it, I'm just highlighting to people how difficult it is to cancel contracts and the fact that VM consistently "loose" letters

  If @virginmedia had good deals I would’ve considered re subscribing. But cancelling our old email addresses without notice because we cancelled has caused so much trouble I certain won’t now

• 
  Cameron Conner (@RadioCammy) reported 4 minutes ago

  @virginmedia hi I’d like to lodge a complaint about your shocking customer service how do I do this ?

• 
  Flip Flop (@flop_flip60295) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia getting 100mb a second on your gigabyte package and was told there was issues. Was escalated to the complaints team who advised nothing is wrong! Shocking customer service even when it was acknowledged its nowhere near what im paying for

  entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported 9 minutes ago

  @Oldbloke74 @virginmedia I have to admit the bloke on the call centre helpline was really nice and helpful but the problem was he seems to just have been making up stuff to make me happy with what I heard as what he said and what has actually happened aren't even close to being in the same postcode 😢

• 
  CMDR Andy Fireblade Muza (@andymuza) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia You will quickly remove discounts and charge them extra without even offering the loyal customer any other offers. And now to add insult to injury you only offer 24 month contract. @youfibre will be getting my custom soon. Sick to death of virgin shafting it's loyal customers.

  What a kerfuffle. 10 calls to Virgin to reactivate services. Not easy and customer service not great. @virginmedia #customerservice #housemove #difficult

  Andy Rossiter (@andy_rossiter76) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Who's bright idea was it to switch landline phones over to digital optic ?? We have the landline in the livingroom, but the internet hub is in the bedroom. Also when the internet goes down, will this mean the phone goes down too ??

  Dom Kane (@ClearlyOptional) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia - We pay a premium for your services and time and time again your service is down. thats us without access to a baby monitor, without access to baby health monitor - absolutely ridiculous. think it’s time for a change

  @karenwi17092279 Sorry to hear that, not good 😔 Yes, we rely on these things more than we realise... I had forgotten the printer, the TV box, my Spotify, heating controller, etc. all use the WiFi and workarounds for all of them need to be fashioned or just abandoned until @virginmedia fix it
