    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 !

    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

    @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.

    @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!!

  • NickMillerUK
    Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @virginmedia somehow you have reset my Dad’s Virgin media box, LAN seems to be off and the wifi on it is back on. This is rubbish because we have network setup there with much better hardware than your box. Now none of it works and I am hundreds of miles from his house. Why?

    @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

    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.

    @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 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

    @BorisJohnson @virginmedia @O2 Imagine being part of a club or a group where roaming could be free for every mobile phone network automatically across Europe We should join that club sometime.

    @virginmedia I had already look at this page previously. And when we have issues there is no indication on what it could be, I. E the *********** light is in as if its connected

  • Teresacooper
    🌸 🙀 Teresa Cooper (@Teresacooper) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin media are screwing their customers over. There is no way an engineer takes this many days to fix a large outage. Many disabled customers are put in danger bc their equipment & emergency equipment use Virgin. They charge a lot of money for a terrible service.

  • cleggy1966
    Simon (@cleggy1966) reported

    @virginmedia customer service is an absolute shambles. Had an appointment with an engineer for this morning due to issues in HD4 and because the wider issue has been resolved, you cancelled my appointment and didn’t even tell me. I had a separate issue to the outage. Shocking

  • markrmifsud
    markrmifsud (@markrmifsud) reported

    @virginmedia Now it's tomorrow 12:00 thats approaching 3 days with no service

  • Gbarch1
    megb (@Gbarch1) reported

    @virginmedia Ok, how about replying to my many messages? We are close to the 48 hour compensation deadline for loss of service and with an apparent 'fix' planned for Monday at 12 you are going to owe alot of people.

  • SteveHilditch
    Steve Hilditch (@SteveHilditch) reported

    Well done virginmedia. ‘Intermittent signal in your area’ during the penalty shoot out of the champions league final. Missed most of it. Not impressed.

  • DavidVaughan5
    Wirtz machine (@DavidVaughan5) reported

    @virginmedia My virgin media phone allows incoming calls but every time I phone out its showing as busy? I cant get through to speak to anyone to fix this?

  • jeanniecorby
    Jeannie (@jeanniecorby) reported

    @virginmedia hey team, any idea when the issues in EX3 / Exeter area will be fixed? Currently have an outage 😭

  • markrmifsud
    markrmifsud (@markrmifsud) reported

    @virginmedia The time to fix is pushed back nearly everything I check

  • samtilston
    Sam Tilston (@samtilston) reported

    This isn't just a bad press cycle for Virgin Media O2. We are tracking a specific pattern of synthetic 'outage' reports designed to trigger algorithmic short-selling and erode public trust in UK telecoms infrastructure during a sensitive regulatory window.

    @EdwardJDavey I watch it free on Virgin Media who are allowing free access to finals. Last final. But there are bigger issues in the country! You are just a poodle for the PM!
