  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 2 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

  @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 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

  @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 💔

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 26 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

  @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

  LES ⚒ (@PL13Les) reported 34 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  What is going on with the horrific intermittent WIFI connection in SM5 for the past week. Website says there is a problem BUT have to wait til Friday for an engineer. Abysmal performance @virginmedia

  @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.

  @virginmedia Your link says it can’t find any issues, there are issues. Can you advise if it’s being investigated? What’s the eta? Thanks.

  @virginmedia awful disgusting customer service. 3 different agents 3 conflicting replies and told other were lies! What has happened to virgin? Supervisor was so rude. Didn't listen and kept interrupting me with robot replies. #terriblecustomerservice #badcustomerservice

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 50 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?

  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 53 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia 9/ speak but he kept interrupting me. He had no help for me for having no internet for 6 days. He kept sighing and refused to put me through to anyone who could offer anymore help.

  Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported 55 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia Of course. I’ve done everything required of me: I was told it’s caused by my home move and the disconnection due on 12th. Things seem to have been prematurely actioned affecting my signal

• 
  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 55 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)..

  @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

  An Irish MEP is calling for a Europe-wide response to the growing crisis in farming caused by this summer’s extreme weather. Billy Kelleher says Ireland is not the only country suffering, with crop yields down massively across the continent. Here at home, the Agriculture Minister is expected to meet farming representatives this week as concerns rise over winter fodder stocks. 📺 More on Virgin Media PLAY

  @tilalx @virginmedia It is. And nobody seems to have any information about what (if anything) is actually being done about the issue in our area

• 
  Andy Nicholls 🫧⚒️✝️ (@andy_nicks60) reported 16 minutes ago

  Well @virginmedia certainly have great customer service people that just feed you absolute lies about not stocking 360 boxes anymore then when they lose the argument they say you can’t have one because you’re not a new customer, and promptly end the conversation.

  @virginmedia @alexand979677 If I wanted to watch it on my phone / laptop / pc etc I would use an Internet based hooky site not something I pay 100 quid a month for. Get it fixed and issue rebates.

  @virginmedia shocking service !You want to change my elderly mother’s tv package which is far in excess of her needs and charge her extra for it. Fleecing oaps is not a good look after 20 years loyalty we will be cancelling.

  @virginmedia @jrdOvn And this is why I’m cancelling my contract. Shocking service.
