  Going for Gold (@Gold_Accounting) reported 6 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @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 It just says, it looks like you are having trouble connecting

• 
  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 14 minutes ago from Aveley, England

  So trying to cancel @virginmedia services and the stalling tactics being used are not cool. If customers want to leave they have every right to do so. Let them go.

  @ThatNickElse @virginmedia Did you get through in the end Nick...I'm having similar problems to you.

  @virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking

  @virginmedia I've got no internet and calling 150... Says offices are closed?! Can't access live chat! Won't let me log in! What awful customer service is this?! How do I get through to someone??

  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 33 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @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.

  VenusEnvi (@VenusEnvi) reported 38 minutes ago from Grays, England

  @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!!

• 
  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 41 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia 9/ speak but he kept interrupting me. He had no help for me for having no internet for 6 days. He kept sighing and refused to put me through to anyone who could offer anymore help.

  @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

  Wesley Hammer ⚒️ (@CouchPotatoUK) reported 42 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @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.

  ✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported 44 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @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

  LES ⚒ (@PL13Les) reported 44 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

• 
  Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported 47 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia @virginmedia can have no rival to the worst customer service out there! Said resolved an issue after held for over an hour only to find it’s not and I now can’t get back in touch. 2nd day work ruined

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 48 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia Though I am dyslexic I have painstakingly done this on multiple devices and have photos to show It - not posting them publicly but it does not recognise that password 😢 A search on line suggests the problem is not unique. I have one hour to call the manufacturer if you advice.

  @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.

  Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported 51 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @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

• 
  Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported 60 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia Yes I have checked the service status, it is the first thing I do & all was fine. The issues is with the cable Ethernet & the phone connection in the Hub 4. I don’t use your WiFi setup as my house is fully cabled for networking. I am a Network Architect, so have done basic tests

  @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia Let’s hope you never have to call customer services 🥴

• 
  Greeny (@Greeny_65) reported 16 minutes ago

  @JayneCellis @PatrickChristys @virginmedia I would hope all HR departments up and down the country are urgently reviewing their safeguarding policies not only when their Sikh employees are working in customers homes but also in their workplaces working alongside others who can not and do not carry any weapons when at work

• 
  Danni (@danni_ox_) reported 20 minutes ago

  @PharmacistExpat @virginmedia They could - but their website states broadband is only an issue when it’s broadband only deals, it’s it’s broadband and tv - it says any broadband, therefore anything that’s in the “not eligible” below, doesn’t count for them

• 
  Heather Gray (@hgray281) reported 21 minutes ago

  @virginmedia what a terrible experience. At 66yrs old 4 calls to god knows where with limited English staff, expect me to crawl around checking cables, lied about outage and now given me a remote, can't up the volume and day 2 can't switch TV on. Appalling Customer Services.

  Professor Keyboard (@jjunglejim) reported 21 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @evo5797 Being in the feedback department of virgin media customer services must take unimaginable levels of fortitude.

• 
  JC (@Coady88) reported 24 minutes ago

  @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia You’ll be switching back to sky in 2 years when virgin do exactly the same, double your bill whilst offering new customers the same service at 1/4 of the price, it’s a market I genuinely do not understand.

• 
  Jane ferguson (@Icklefergie) reported 28 minutes ago

  @virginmedia How many promised texts and phone calls does it take to actually be contacted. Waited over 2 weeks for resolution of a problem with Virgintvgo due to O2 linked accounts!! Still no returned calls … despite several phone calls, what do I need to do???

• 
  jane rawlings (@djraw123) reported 31 minutes ago

  @virginmedia why are we having service issues yet again in the OL2 area ? This has been going on for over a month and is completely unacceptable!

• 
  Bryn (@bryn14181) reported 32 minutes ago

  @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia Like people have said you’ll be back to Sky within 2 years. Me and the Mrs had Virgin we were paying something like £87 a month for the full package come renewal price they wanted £213 a month for the same package claiming the £87 was a new customer only deal

  Edward Hamilton (@epwhamilton) reported 34 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I was specifically told yesterday that there is a problem in the area and to expect it fixed by 5.08. I still have no internet, and the outage is still not acknowledged on the website so I can't check on progress. Oh, and you're not responding to my DMs 😡
