    @virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

    @Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

    @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

    Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia we have had no Internet or TV since yesterday afternoon/evening. Service checker seems down and unable to log into my virgin media as just spins or says unavailable SM1 1RB please advise.

    @virginmedia I tried again today. After faffing with phone, then faulty website, and back to phone, I eventually found a very helpful assistant who managed to convince me to stay; happily. It was close though, as much room for improvement. Please sort out your customer services & website.

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

    @virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?

  • NoddyMaccy

    @virginmedia The issue has now been resolved just after my tweet, I was just very angry at the time. Thank you though for responding.

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

    Gerry (@guinnessaddick) reported from Dartford, England

    @thorogodies @Missbwattie @virginmedia We don’t have many problems with ours, surprised you do, as you’re only round the corner, must be a box problem.

  • GoonerGrizzly
    grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

  • RERomain
    Rachel Romain (@RERomain) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia It has been almost 30 years since he was a new customer... 🙃

    Steve wilson (@muzzlejuice) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I'm trying to cancel as I'm moving and asked for confirmation which was not provided , the duty manager refused to speak with me when I tried to escalate

  • macon1375
    Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported 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

  • daphmc_
    Daph ¹⁶ ³ ³⁰ (@daphmc_) reported

    @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia Ireland needs to face the facts they’re still rattled since the 2023 WC QF… probably facing the same issues that the head coach has stayed on a fraction too long now and it’s not working. Agreed with Marshy, sort your own issues.

  • EDsetMefree
    Michelle Wright (@EDsetMefree) reported

    @virginmedia been with you ever since you were ntlworld, you recently changed my phone to digital with back up emergency phone, the engineer didn’t take my disability into account, has put my phone where I can’t even get to it, impossible to get through to you as you cut the call before connecting, your now not giving me the service I am paying for and in breach of contract, so I am going to cancel my direct debit for all services including tv

  • KingBerty1992
    Robert Walker (@KingBerty1992) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt I went to FTTP and had no end of issues with it switched back to virgin after the cut off however i had to do it as a new customer my wife for me to get that said deal same house same last name and thats how i got around it do it every year now ball ache but saves you thousands

  • Alexand68647317
    Alexander Dumas 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Alexand68647317) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt I had a very similar experience with them. They are only interested in new customers and not retaining the ones they already have. I left, pay a fraction of what I used to, and will never do business with them again. Great business model for going bust.

  • AR59446899
    Kakistocracysucks (@AR59446899) reported

    @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia Agreed, as a Bok supporter,when we crunched them half to death last November they started to call for scrumming laws to be changed,good to see that the ABs are back,looking forward to a tough series now…just get rid of that **** Ben Smith he’s giving AB rugby a bad name.
