    @virginmedia Called from Bangalore touting me to renew contract offering me upgrades but lied about cost, sorted this out, then VM continued to bill me at rate I never agreed too, then we had four days of outages, then Bangalore team just disconnect if they cannot sort out a problem

  • SpencerSCarter Spencer Carter (@SpencerSCarter) reported from South Ockendon, England

    Really shocked, but sadly not surprised, by the service from @virginmedia as an existing customer for many years, I’m overlooked in favour of new ones. No care and lack of customer loyalty. Will be talking about it on my show tomorrow

  • jta1497 Right Here Right Now.... (@jta1497) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia the worst company for broadband @richardbranson and your name is attached to it. @Offcom please investigate the shambles off an outfit

  • TobyFox92307507 Toby Fox (@TobyFox92307507) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @andymatthews @virginmedia Cheers Andy. Signed with BT - decent price and - get this - people on the phone who are polite, try to help and are effective - deal done in a single phone call. It's like the future!

  • roxcreeve Roxc Reeve (@roxcreeve) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    The way my mum has been treated by virgin media this week is disgusting as a paying customer she’s been in tears and they’ve violated there terms and conditions @richardbranson your staff should be ashamed of themselves

  • Patrick60425645 Patrick Barrett (@Patrick60425645) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Yes, fix the navigation, have serious look at you chat app, as in the Name chat, is not what your application does, you using AI/ word recognition and you still list the reply as Agent. Having spent 10 min on your site. No thanks Virgin.

  • thombie123 John Thombs (@thombie123) reported from London, England

  • TomRoss_ Tom Ross (@TomRoss_) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Yes there are issues showing. But this is direct through the TiVo box not the app.

  • thombie123 John Thombs (@thombie123) reported from London, England

  • paulparker81 Paul Parker (@paulparker81) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia online chat help absolute waste of an hour of my life, now on hold for 20 mins so far. Disgusting customer service.

  • themib Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Big fan of the NXT UK roster promoting the wrong Virgin Media channel for Paramount Network (it's 150).

  • SueGMBE Sue Gower MBE (@SueGMBE) reported from Crayford, England

    @NRCUK @virginmedia We got so fed up with virgin’s poor connection we’ve gone back to BT ...

  • annikaallen Annika Allen (@annikaallen) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I need to book an engineer to come out but every time I go through your automated system it cuts me off telling me to go online or that my hub is offline. I know it is. That's why I'm calling. There's a wire broken. It's not switched off. Pls help. Thanks 💛

  • jta1497 Right Here Right Now.... (@jta1497) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia @richardbranson @bt_uk virgin your broadband service in waltham Abbey is disgraceful, even though we have complained you fail to resolve my problems, and are no delivering on your own contract terms. I want this resolved or released frommy contract @poppy_tompkinsx

  • DaveAspey dave_aspey (@DaveAspey) reported

    @virginmedia Spoke to 3 people this morning. 1st person ran all the usual checks and told me I need booster pods. 2nd person tried to sell me a phone contract. 3rd person just sounded very confused and kept trying to do the checks I’d done at first. Poor.

  • thrivebep Bep Dhaliwal (@thrivebep) reported

    @virginmedia I’m a residential customer as I didn’t have faith in the service having been a Virgin customer before but we were assured the service had been improved. I thought I’d try residential before I moved to business and it’s a shocker! Not in a good way

  • Bongo_trance Bongo_trance (@Bongo_trance) reported

    @virginmedia serious Internet issues for days now. Laptops just saying 'no Internet' despite full signal, continued dropping out and cannot work from home. What a terrible service you are providing. Continued problems.

  • FroggattSteve Steve Froggatt RVM (@FroggattSteve) reported

    @virginmedia I have not had any service since Friday, the engineer came out yesterday and “fixed” it said it would come on at 15:00, still no service, so day 6

  • Rosshoulton Ross Houlton (@Rosshoulton) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry, I was sent to this previously. It states a complete loss of service, my broadband system is struggling to go more than 60 seconds without a prolonged timeout and the latency (the 'ms' value) can be into the 1000's. What's the issue? Because all the checks say I have none.

  • nomenloony Nöɱҽɳlooɳყ 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🌹😷💉💉💉❤️💜💙 (@nomenloony) reported

    @virginmedia "you're account is in credit, we won't be taking a payment this month". Takes £137 anyway. Don't bother guys, I'm recalling the direct debit and cancelling it. We might also cancel you. I think that's a pretty big breach of contract from your side...

  • JLepore29 Jessica (@JLepore29) reported

    Another day working from home made impossible by @virginmedia - no connection, followed all troubleshooting, a useless impersonal bot on the help line, no resolution. Any recommendation for other providers?

  • andy_hulbert Andy Hulbert (@andy_hulbert) reported

    @virginmedia How do I arrange to have my old hub upgraded as it delivers poor WiFi. I've tried to to get in touch using online chat, but it doesn't seem to be working

  • stevetriner7 Steve B (@stevetriner7) reported

    @virginmedia I can join a webchat at 2.00 pm. But I will need to take time out of work. If the #virginmedia webchat doesn’t actually progress the issue and is a further waste of my time, it will be included in my #complaint to @Ofcom. I don’t need apologies, I need broadband and compensation

  • JordanHall_dev Jordan Hall (@JordanHall_dev) reported

    Hey @virginmedia again. Finally wanted you to install at my own house. Don't expect to be disrespect and told "your lucky im at ******* working" repeated at me because he rude.
