• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 2 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.

  Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported 2 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 No as I look after an elderly lady with parkinsons on Thursdays which means she doesn't get to get out of the house if I don't see her. So it's booked in for Friday. What help doninhave till then? Or reimbursement? I'm free every day after 3pm & I'm free Tuesday all day

  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 6 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia 11/ I've never been 6 days without internet and help was much more available in the past with virgin. Now, customers are being left high and dry.

  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 8 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 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

  Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported 14 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.

  Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported 19 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.

• 
  Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported 22 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

  Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported 28 minutes ago from Romford, England

  So @virginmedia want £288 to cancel a contract I've had since 2018. Can I get through to anyone to speak about it? NO!!

• 
  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 28 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @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

• 
  Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported 31 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

• 
  Liam Stanley💙 (@SeasideAPNP) reported 40 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @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

• 
  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 41 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!

  Ben Rogers (@eviemae239) reported 43 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia wi-fi down yet again for about the 5th time this week. Constantly going down over last few weeks as well, absolute shambles.

• 
  ✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported 46 minutes ago from Romford, England

  Currently receiving terrible customer service from @virginmedia. Strongly considering ending my contact with them and going elsewhere!!

  . @virginmedia down yet again? Not able to watch On Demand and error messages. Plus their website is down. 🙄

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 59 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia John - lights are on but the external fault has already been established. It is a contractor that has to deal with the issue - one claimed to have done it but it failed to work - now you contractor is failing to respond to requests by your colleagues 4 updates on a new commission

  Way Of The Hunter 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@ACaldwell68074) reported 4 minutes ago

  @O2 @davehpayne The Hassle I have to top up, Repeatedly having to re-enter my Name, address & bank details, which were all previously saved before virgin media interfered with my login, I'm starting to consider leaving for another network provider, I lost all my carry over data because of it.

  @O2 ever since you merged with virgin media trying to pay on your web site / app is impossible Been a customer for over 20 yrs Your service is diabolical

• 
  Gary Palmer (@GCpalms) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia You have the worst customer care ive ever dealt with. Absolute shambles. Ive spoken to 4 people now to cancel my already expired contract and none of them can do it, and seems youve put me onto another contract over double what my last one was. Awful company.

  @virginmedia @RobNoonan007 It has stopped for everyone Virgin. This isn’t a localised issue!

  @VMSportIE Who ******** is Tim Clancy? Some randomer off the street? Is Virgin Media Sport run by Sinn Fein?

• 
  The Hodge-Cast Podcast (@Hodge_Cast) reported 11 minutes ago

  @DAZNBoxing I can safely say, I will never be purchasing a PPV from your service again. Nearly 15mins of a blank screen for a PPV - I realise technical issues happen and it’s live, but to make no attempt to to fix this problem in a timely manor is a farce. @virginmedia I’ll be cancelling my subscription with yourself also, if I don’t receive a refund. Unacceptable!

• 
  Mr H (@silestanix) reported 14 minutes ago

  @O2 @virginmedia ... Was here in April, no issues whatsoever ever. My account was under review for suspected fraud, this investigation was closed on Tuesday, it's now Friday and I STILL CANNOT get thru to family back in the UK because you're not allowing me to make calls...!!!

• 
  Mr H (@silestanix) reported 15 minutes ago

  @O2 @virginmedia ... I have been a loyal customer for over 2 decades now, I'm so disappointed at how lacking the service has been. I have cancelled my direct debit, you will receive no bill payment for this period until you call me to discuss this issue, as I STILL Cannot call back to the UKm
