@virginmedia I am currently a virgin TV only customer thinking about getting your broadband but notice your current sale is not for existing customers. I’m already paying more just for TV than what you offer for BB&TV.

@virginmedia Thank you for “allowing me” the opportunity to raise a complaint, and I suppose I’ll have to ring you then. 😡 not happy, this service I’m receiving is dreadful.

@virginmedia Thanks - they tried to scam a friend of mine today who was trying to get help from you (they have now successfully been in contact with the real you :) )

@virginmedia @LaurenSTompkins Just jumping in - this related to the conversation we were having in the week. All the steps that both you and technical support provided have been followed but every call starts back at square one - probably easier to quit then join as a new customer than get it fixed!

@virginmedia I have a wired connection to my Xbox and a wireless connection to my iPhone and both are affected. I have just rebooted my hub twice and now WiFi ‘seems’ to be working. I would like an engineer to come to my house and swap my hub as I think it is the hub that is causing the issue

@ITV is it my @virginmedia signal (SD and HD) or are you having issues with the feed from Twickenham #ENGvIRE #6Nations no other channels affected.

@virginmedia I am currently on hold speaking to customer services again this call is going on for nearly an hour. Most frustrating part is the inconsistency and having to start over every time we make contact.

@virginmedia They did but they ended up making us go through the same steps that my friend had done last week then advised it may take 4 hours to fix, obviously they are very upset as we’re promised in last nights call that if there was a fault VM would replace the kit and this was refused

@virginmedia Unfortunately I am at work until 7 pm tomorrow. I have just spoken to technical support and have been told the reason for all the issues is that I have only 39% space left on HD. Your technical support team need to go for training

@virginmedia Tech Supoort were hopeless 1hr15min on phone with my friend tonight (which I had to sit through and take over because she was so frustrated) and they WONT replace the box - they say it’s fine, it really isn’t! Have asked for this to be escalated to a formal complaint
-

@virginmedia Have got a scheduled call back from the agent tomorrow to try and get through quickly to technical and get someone there to authorise the box swap as it’s really upsetting them with the constant issues. Not convinced but will see what they say...

@virginmedia Last advice I have following all their technical tests, restarting the box, watching the help videos etc, I’ve put in a complaint and they have phoned me but as I said specifically I cannot talk while I am at work and requested they phone after 5pm.

@virginmedia It’s media, it’s endless problems with a TiVo box. We’ve spoken to customer service and technical support have done everything they require for all the intermittent problems.

Yo @virginmedia you REALLY need to get @TwitterSupport to block and delete @virgrnimedia they are pretending to be VM support and DMing people who tweet you asking for details like credit card (full number, expiry, cvc) & address info - need to stop them! @actionfrauduk

@virginmedia Only their name, as soon as “you” asked for such in depth info they took a 2nd look as they knew you wouldn’t ask that - when they told me I also reported to Twitter hoping the more reports the faster it’ll go down but I suspect complaint from you will be the most influential

@virginmedia If you look at my previous tweets this issue has been ongoing for over a year now and I think I should be due some form of compensation for this lack of service I have been paying for. Can a manager please call me to discuss this further on Friday as I’m not available until then.

@virginmedia At this rate I will be cancelling my service with virgin as it’s impossible to speak to anyone or get a problem resolved.

@virginmedia So that call actually gave me no more information. I already know the internet is down, I've just spent the whole day working from a hotspot. I need, at the very least an estimate of when it will be fixed
-

(@VoodooRit) reported
@virginmedia Your online chat is not working and when calling you push people to chat support - only after several attempts I am still waiting for a response to a query from Monday afternoon. Any chance of some support?

@virginmedia I have spoken to an advisor and there were problems. They seem to have been resolved. Thanks.

(@loubryce) reported
@virginmedia Any idea why an hour after waiting to talk to service team, our plan has changed but there is no sign, more than two months later, of the agreed new boxes and routers?!?! Please resolve and not by painful call to call centre, to waste another hour on hold.

@Ledscov @virginmedia We are going to cancel the lot tomorrow as good as the product is not prepared to pay this sorta money with the price of everything going us they will be sacrificed

Ryan Morrison
(@RyanMorrisonJer) reported
Email from @virginmedia telling me my contract is going up in 30 days when my 18 months come to an end. Oh and if I want to cancel, I have to give 30 days notice. Been on hold for the past 30 minutes listening to the worst selection of music ever created.

@virginmedia do you have a number i can speak to, to cancel my installation? i've called 0800 052 1734 and pressed option 2 but it just cuts me off.

@virginmedia How do I view my contract? The new Virgin media interface is terrible. Can’t even view on the app.

@virginmedia Assuming there's more than just a bot script on duty at the time, who'll try and channel me down the same path that leads to 'have you tried moving your router?'

@virginmedia unless you can organise for someone to call me, I'm contacting @plusnet to see how long it will take them to re-connect their service, which while not as fast on paper, was at least a service.
