    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

    Q. What kind of moronic company thinks it enhances customer service by only allowing communication via WhatsApp on a phone? A. @virginmedia! @SkyUK here I come !

    @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.

    @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

    @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 No issues... I need to speak to someone I've tried everything... Reboot, reset and nothing is working

  • MissFayeRay
    FClay (@MissFayeRay) reported from Romford, England

    @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?

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 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

    @virginmedia Yes I have chased and chased and spent 4 hours today on WhatsApp, no advise just can't help because I have outstanding bill....no the line isn't active because it was ported over to Community Fibre on 8th July

    @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

  • mizznansea
    Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 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.

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

  • mizznansea
    Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    @virginmedia I've been having problems with my phoneline and it is currently dead, can't make or receive calls. An engineer came on Friday but its still not working. Charges have been appearing on my phone bill for calls I have not made. This has happened twice since November.

    @obbsie @virginmedia Very strange - must be something behind such an outage? Not seen anything of significance yet

    Virgin media just threw Fianna Fail under the bus. Micheál Martin is a world class fool 🏆 but Harris and McEntee got a free pass.

    Dgjbear (@Dgjbear1) reported

    @bravemongoose @virginmedia You won’t get a reply from X either. They are simply closed. I’m guessing the company is close to collapse. I’m trying to cancel my contract to after 25 years

    ShirleySarah🌹🎸🦊🦔🐦⚽ (@ShirleySarah70) reported

    @virginmedia You STILL haven't replied to my DM which I sent on FRIDAY LAST WEEK. What's wrong with you people. Any more of this ignoring me and I CANCEL MY DIRECT DEBIT and GO TO SKY. They know how to treat their customers and not like 💩 as is the case with you lot 😡

  • SiGallagher
    Simon Gallagher (@SiGallagher) reported

    @virginmedia 22 hours ignoring me. And now I can’t access my sky sports app through my virgin log in because nothing works in this company. Thanks it’s been a real treat

    @virginmedia I’m having problems with your newly installed service. Your chat service is rubbish & I’ve been on hold for over 45mins! This is not a great start! Someone better get in touch with me soon or I’ll be cancelling my direct debit!
