  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 0 seconds 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.

  @virginmedia Hi, the VMGo app is telling me I need to upgrade to watch live tv but I’ve got the right package to have access and have until today watched live via the app. Is there an issue? Tried restarting it etc.

  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 12 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?

  Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported 15 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 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 any chance you can get your website to work? Change Package Chat does nothing! Links sent via mail do not work! Hyperlink sent by text doesn’t work! Call centre (working from home in India?) worse than useless! Ever heard of Customer Centric design? #Useless

  VenusEnvi (@VenusEnvi) reported 29 minutes ago from Grays, England

  @virginmedia what’s the point of asking me to text when I’m ready to set up the new hub if your going to deactivate the old one before I’m ready!! Good job I have unlimited data on my mobile network!!

• 
  Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported 29 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported 35 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.

  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 37 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.

  @virginmedia how much longer will services be out in SM1 1RB.. been since last night. No TV or WiFi.Service status check says you are aware. PLEASE

• 
  Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported 45 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

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 48 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

• 
  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 49 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.

• 
  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 53 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia Phoned, and as expected; they can't just "put this right". The equipment and service are working fine. That the dish is broken and there is little slack to enable me to bury the cable deeper is due to local engineers. Will just have to dig trench, break cable and wait again!

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 54 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?

  Liam Stanley💙 (@SeasideAPNP) reported 59 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

  @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia Mad concept but it is possible for both Ireland to be poor and the ref have had a poor game.

  @CompoundingISA @MartinSLewis @ao Such short sighted customer service experience. I's like dealing with Virgin Media 10 years ago. I had to tell them 2-3 times that yes, I really did want to cancel. Thankfully, I was only on hold for a few minutes.

  @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia Typical arrogance of ex All Blacks,🤡when we were beating them,they had plenty of excuses. Irish analysts also highlighted the many handling errors of the Irish team. 6 clear turnovers prevented,blatant knock on,we're we had 3/1 overlap,penalty try ? 1st Yellow was 20minute red🤡

  si (@sjk2099) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia my internet suddenly stopped working in the middle of the night, I've tried to scan the password to reconnect but that's not working. I've unplugged the router and that didn't work either. Any suggestions?

  @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Scum company. Lying cheats on their OS call centres. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced.

  @virginmedia @RicardoEyes Maybe show decent customer service when you are contacted about issues initially, not just when people have had enough & leave 🤷
