    @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 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 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.

    @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

  • feyipuk
    Phil (@feyipuk) reported 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!

  • LockeyJordan
    jordan lockey (@LockeyJordan) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I am not paying the bill until you fix your ****** internet plus your trying to scam us by raising our bill to £225 even though it's supposed to be £130 and we have never missed a payment

    After 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, I’ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. 😔. #TimeforaChange

    @MayorofLondon Shame they provide the most terrible customer service and treat you like they've got you by the short and curlies! Pay £400 a year for a service, custome service agents are like robots and stuff you for days when it doesn't work with no alternative offered! @virginmedia

    @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

    @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

  • dicksielives
    David Ball (@dicksielives) reported from Romford, England

    Hi @virginmedia I ordered a new phone via my wife (who is already on Virgin mobile) last Friday. I was told to wait for a confirmation email which I still have not received. Can you help? I have the order No.

  • eviemae239

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

    @virginmedia any reason the WiFi signal keeps dropping out every 5 minutes or so? It really is appalling

    Ailsa (@Ailsa56202286) reported

    @virginmedia I have had 3 conversations with your representatives on the phone in the last week promising a change on my account/ complaints email and none of them have followed through? Is anyone else finding the virgin media team to be totally USELESS. Will never be using again

    @virginmedia you are swapping from Analog to Digital phone service. Can you guarantee T38 fax protocol will work as before? and yes fax machines are still used.

    @virginmedia hi, is there an issue with blueyonder emails? Was working ok this morning till about 10:30 am

  • Vicky51308928
    Vicky 💖 (@Vicky51308928) reported

    @virginmedia your internet causing my son to have huge meltdowns. I am paying for a service that is incompetent, unreliable and damaging to my son due to his very severe condition. Last month your staff called my sons disability a ‘mental breakdown’- not acceptable

  • NeedMoreCourage
    Lacking Courage (@NeedMoreCourage) reported

    @virginmedia We have lost faith in your organisation's ability to listen or fix the problem! Poorly trained staff or systems seem to not help & if a scripted system then just puts you into a repetitive loop.

  • TheAdamMarsden
    Adam Marsden (@TheAdamMarsden) reported

    @virginmedia absolute garbage- was told moving house would be a ‘smooth’ transition? Instead charging me for two accounts, harassed via email and phone. Told this would be resolved. ALL LIES. Now they’ve cut our internet off. DO NOT TRUST!

    @virginmedia Hi no actually because I am fed up sending messages, customer service is awful, retentions is awful and as for complaints well that's diabolical.
