    @virginmedia it’s impossible to contact them with a complaint if you aren’t a customer.

    @virginmedia Sure, office this morning at about 8am. No service and Internet access by 9.30M and popped back late morning and still nothing around 10.45am. So finished my admin at home with my own broadband connection. Didn't call or raise the issue as its a pointless exercise. Cheers

  • ClaireWinslade
    Claire 💙 (@ClaireWinslade) reported from Sheffield, England

    Moved to @virginmedia on Monday and router didn’t come. Then when it came Wednesday the internet wouldn’t connect. After 7 phone calls and an engineer called out it’s still not working 😡 and it seems if you are on hold for too long they just cut you off. So frustrating

    @virginmedia @Virgin Terrible service

  • Callum_SEND
    Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate you trying to help. The issue is with the virgin contract being 18 months and the "new" o2 deal being 24 months and how this would impact as I looked to renegotiate in 18 months

  • Aidan1964
    Aidan Carey (@Aidan1964) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I'm a new customer and cannot access my account. I've spoken to your customer service team a number of times and they haven't been able to sort my issue out. My account is tagged as a secondary account, but I'm the primary account holder!

    @virginmedia Help please. Tried to resolve wirh 3 members of your overseas Call Centre and was promised a call back. I can’t access my account.

    Coincidence that BT & EE has been selling broadband all day in area and now my @virginmedia is down.

  • YorkshireChuff
    Yorkshire Chuff (@YorkshireChuff) reported from Sheffield, England

    Reading all the tweets from you idiots who haven't got unlimited 5g hotspot. Been paying for this for years. For this very moment. **** you #virginmedia

  • rywilnot
    Ryan Wilson (@rywilnot) reported from Darton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam broadband this week has been shocking. Following the help and test in the app says all is well (funny that). Not really sure what I’m paying for. Back to @virginmedia

  • guyrleech
    Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I do need assistance over why the 4G backup didn't kick in when I had an outage last week but I've raised that with you already, I hope

  • lettielou05

    @virginmedia as a rejoining customer, how do I set up an account with my old accounts e-mail address? #gettingstuck #shouldbeeasier

    @virginmedia Broadband went back down for me around 16:30 and no internet etc and like others your website is still failing

  • mandybaps1
    Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I've emailed MD and they called me within the hour and sorted my issue out within 10 minutes. You should be ashamed of yourselves

  • AnnielizzieSten
    Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia It’s strange because the online help claims there’s no problem but the phone says there’s a major problem in the area. Perhaps the online help needs updating because it’s no help at all

  • Mcollinson72
    Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia awful and aggressive scare tactics from your not so friendly cancellations rep when trying to cancel my service. God help any vulnerable person that tries to do the same thing. Shameful

    @virginmedia ive now spoken to three of your customer services team over the last few days to confirm at the end of my contract which was 31 May I wanted all my tv package to be ceased and broadband services to be reduced to 350mb on a rolling contract...tv still working!!

  • TheAdamMarsden
    Adam Marsden (@TheAdamMarsden) reported

    @virginmedia absolute garbage- was told moving house would be a ‘smooth’ transition? Instead charging me for two accounts, harassed via email and phone. Told this would be resolved. ALL LIES. Now they’ve cut our internet off. DO NOT TRUST!

  • andrhay12
    andrhay (@andrhay12) reported

    @virginmedia when will the problem with TV and broadband in the SE1 be fixed this has been ongoing for 2 weeks now. Intermittent broadband and tv for 2 weeks. last 3 days no TV services - no updates

  • alantucker
    Alan (@alantucker) reported

    Finally got rid of @virginmedia broadband, TV and telephone services. Broadband is now supplied by @toobbroadband with a TV streaming service from @skytv

  • Lulette5772
    C B (@Lulette5772) reported

    @virginmedia why is your app so useless, can’t do anything with it as any actions takes you to chat. You’re forced to chat/call VM for everything. My contract is ending, so had to call VM, a torturous experience. After 30minutes on hold achieved basically nothing. It’s so poor

  • NLinnane
    nikky linnane (@NLinnane) reported

    Is Elaine Burke the only tech expert available in Ireland for tv ? She's never off virgin media and now she's on rte news. It would be great if we could have other view points not just one because they are connected to the right people.

  • MawsonAsht43296
    Ashton Mawson (@MawsonAsht43296) reported

    @virginmedia broadband down in Gloucestershire, estimated fix is the 10/6, four days away, is that some sort of joke ?!? What’s actually going on. Elderly people who rely on the broadband are without essential services due to this, what’s happening ?!?!

  • usmaenghani

    @virginmedia one of the worst technical, customer call and messaging service you have.

    I'm sorry but I can't seem to pick up @rewindtvuk via @virginmedia 😒 Could you fix it for me please?

    Jo (@Mansfield_Girl) reported

    @virginmedia Hi! Since 14th Grandad has got "Title Not Available" on all channels and experiencing intermittent issues with picture. Looks like not connected to Virgin Network but only option is wired when never has been wired?! Tried hard resets on both box and router.
