  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 3 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia That's my issue; in terms of service, it is resolved. Thr cable was previously buried (all be it not that deep), & I would have liked it to be again. My suggestion was leave slack so I could bury it. That message wasn't passed on to the 3rd party engineer. What would you advise?

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 6 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

  @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.

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

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 17 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  Listening to the broadband presentation on @itvMLshow with some irony. I pay @virginmedia £79/month for broadband/phone & TV. BB/TV failed in November, after many calls they say it will be fixed in March 2023 😬 Compensation is only calculated when service is restored 😪 Fair?

  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

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 22 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia so after weeks of unbelievably poor broadband and customer service there was an offer from you to resolve the situation with a web chat at 11am, with a link being provided here. No link. I’m lost for words

  @thorogodies @Missbwattie @virginmedia We don’t have many problems with ours, surprised you do, as you’re only round the corner, must be a box problem.

  @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 26 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.

  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 27 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia 4/ I work from home so asked what can I do in the meantime? No help given. I asked to speak to a supervisor. Waited 15 mins to speak to Supervisor ( 45 mins total already spent on phone)..

  @virginmedia All of our WiFi appliances stopped working at the exact same time. The WiFi keeps trying to connect but just whirls and whirls. No issues with our appliances

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 28 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @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?

  ✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported 29 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @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…

  Carol Dover (@CarolB29041964) reported 32 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

  @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.

• 
  Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported 46 minutes ago from Romford, England

  On phone to @virginmedia for 55 mins to cancel, speak to 4 different people about a mis-sold service and then when I ask them to produce my contract they hang up. Not happy.

  @virginmedia It has been almost 30 years since he was a new customer... 🙃

  A persistent hum is keeping families awake at night in Clondalkin. Residents living near the Echelon data centre have complained of broken sleep and frustration, with the EPA instructing the company to investigate the source of the noise and measures to reduce it. More on Virgin Media PLAY.

  @LeeHarris @virginmedia The fact you seem shocked by this means 1 of 2 things. 1) You're really dense & didn't research how truly terrible VM services are 2) You went for the cheap option & this is the result

  @virginmedia Hello! I have an engineer visit booked but it’s not on the app. I’ve raised a complaint about that but my complaint isn’t on the app. I started a live chat and was asked to move it to WhatsApp’s, but didn’t receive any comms. How can I get any response from Virgin?
