  @virginmedia Obviously i don't have proof because your site doesn't say send recorded so why would i, my number was ported in July and I wrote same time, I have no reason to not send letter and you can see from any data usage that I stopped using your service

  @itvnews please help. @virginmedia refusing to prioritise an 87 year old with a heart condition who needs a 24/7 phone line for her Emergency button a priority. Refusing to send an Engineer for ANOTHER 6 days.

  @virginmedia 8/ have to pay if it came down to a third party router intimating that the fault was mine. No appointment till Thursday! I tried to explain that I care for an elderly lady and he wouldn't let me speak and kept interrupting me which was incredibly rude. I advised him to let me

  @virginmedia for a media company that sells amazing broadband, your website is terrible. Just goes in circles, doesn't let you change packages online. Terrible.

  @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

  @virginmedia Your customer service is the worst I have seen

  LES ⚒ (@PL13Les) reported 31 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  What is going on with the horrific intermittent WIFI connection in SM5 for the past week. Website says there is a problem BUT have to wait til Friday for an engineer. Abysmal performance @virginmedia

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 36 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  Listening to the broadband presentation on @itvMLshow with some irony. I pay @virginmedia £79/month for broadband/phone & TV. BB/TV failed in November, after many calls they say it will be fixed in March 2023 😬 Compensation is only calculated when service is restored 😪 Fair?

  Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported 37 minutes ago from Wickford, England

  @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

  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 45 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @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

  Jay Bourley (@drummerJ83) reported 49 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia Hi. Have no wifi (green light) and despite rebooting several times have a had no luck. This has happened after following your instruction to reboot for ‘faster speed’. Please advise asap - no issues in the area according to your website.

  @virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

  Hey @virginmedia Parents new 360 box not working and engineer not available to come out til the 27th!!!! Not good enough! 😔

• 
  jordan lockey (@LockeyJordan) reported 52 minutes ago 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

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 55 minutes ago 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 💔

  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 56 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia 4/ I work from home so asked what can I do in the meantime? No help given. I asked to speak to a supervisor. Waited 15 mins to speak to Supervisor ( 45 mins total already spent on phone)..

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 56 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

• 
  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 57 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

  Mad Cyril (@salford_red_ste) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia It’s ok I think the messages have stopped now the office is closed. One of the worst experiences ever and I won’t use the WhatsApp messaging again as it obviously isn’t fit for purpose

• 
  Chris McGregor (@CmucG) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia So after the DM discussion there is still no resolution to the package I pay for not being fully available. Just being told to be patient! The compensation offered for not getting the full package I'm paying for is insulting. Not a great way to treat new customers.

• 
  Pete 😷 #COVIDisAirborne (@PeteUK7) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Good heavens. You think an AI response sending me back to the beginning of the bereavement process is in any way appropriate? It doesn't deal with my issue or answer the questions I asked. Find a human, a senior one at your place and do this properly.

• 
  Melody Lane-Hayman (@ScepturaMelody) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I realise that could of been without your control but they are still available on sky so I should of gone with sky obviously never mind I found movie channels I didn’t even realise I had as they were below the already greyed out ones that were paid for channels

  @mooramana Hi it's us from Virgin Media O2. We would like to apologise for how we handled your issue while you were dealing with your unfortunate situation. This is not how we want our customers to feel and if you like we could discuss this further over Dm, so we could get more information.

  liam (@liamsimo95) reported 8 minutes ago

  @SkyHelpTeam @bt_uk what broadband services do you offer to new customers? As @virginmedia broadband is **** and repeatedly disappoint all customers, surely won’t be too hard to provide a decent service rather than mediocrity

• 
  Sodium (@sodiumlights) reported 9 minutes ago

  In the meantime, they're offering the same to new customers for less than £30. You know what? I'm going to make you fix your broken kit and then I'm going to find a new provider. **** you and your stupid ******* games, @virginmedia
