  • skearney7 Stuart Kearney (@skearney7) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Not really. I have made arrangements to bring my account up to date and close it as I am a responsible person. However as a result of the U Switch service not working. I have paid you £150 extra for a service that I have not used. So from my point of view I am very frustrated

    Went to @virginmedia online support last night - ran their automated test tool & identified a problem somewhere our end. Offered to request an engineer visit...

  • lissaburns Melissa Burns (@lissaburns) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia can you help? We’ve been struggling with internet for last 3 weeks. Now dropping on daily basis and devices not connecting. Spent 1.5hrs talking on Thurs... was promised a call back yesterday but received nothing and still major issues. Can someone pls call?

    @virginmedia moved house today supposed to have been reconnected. You have a problem, known about for days but arrive and say not today mate! I gotta go to Vodafone now for data. After 20 years, it’s like my wife left me...

  • MatildaDr Joanne Wells (@MatildaDr) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia you used to be great, but now not so great. I lose my internet connection far more frequently now. There’s an error when I try and change my package online. I’ve phoned customer service now I have to call tomorrow as your systems are down for changing packages

  • pilot_paul Pilot_Paul 🇪🇸 (@pilot_paul) reported from Basingstoke, England

  • SparkleEyedGirl Nicola (@SparkleEyedGirl) reported from Newbury, England

    @virginmedia I have a security issue with my router, I cannot login in or change password as somebody else is logged in. I have tried repeatedly over the last few days to contact you. We have 2 vulnerable adults in the house and need to sort this ASAP!

  • AfroChuck87 Dan 🇪🇺 #TitanUp (@AfroChuck87) reported from Basingstoke, England

    . Why have you hung up on be after being on hold after 40 minutes. Your customer service is an absolute disgrace. You should be ashamed. @virginmedia

  • JGrenvillewood Joshua Grenville-Wood (@JGrenvillewood) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia fix your WiFi services. Can’t even get the tv to connect let alone a phone or a laptop. Terrible WiFi

  • AfroChuck87 ¥ (@AfroChuck87) reported from Basingstoke, England

    Just spent 40 minutes being messed around with from @virginmedia to be then hung up on. Your customer service is atrocious!!!

  • TheTomothy Tom Hogan (@TheTomothy) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia better have a good explanation for this but likely this will never be answered and all my years of bills and loyalty mean absolutely sod all. @bt_uk and @SkyHelpTeam Any good deals on broadband? And can you promise you wont vandalise my home & connection randomly?

  • pBullox Paul Bullock (@pBullox) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia moved house today, supposed to have been reconnected but you have a problem you knew about for days. Arrive and tell me not today mate! I’ve gotta go get data from #Vodafone now. After 20 years, it’s like my wife leaving.

  • drewy__ Jez (@drewy__) reported from Whitchurch, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to contact via calling the number but I can’t get through as I’m a new customer wanting to join!

  • SimonMiller52 Simon Miller (@SimonMiller52) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia Hi yes I’ve done this numerous times and spoken to many people on chat and always been told I will get a call to discuss and I never hear back. I just want someone to look into why we cannot get it but it’s available on our road. Thanks

  • richcon98 Richard Conway (@richcon98) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia I have to say @virginmedia are one of the worst companies to contact if you have an issue. Their message system is a joke and accounts a shambles. @skyuk is looking a better prospect!!!!

  • pBullox Paul Bullock (@pBullox) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia No real explanation, just he can’t do it today. I was surprised he already knew of the problem but didn’t stop his installer coming. I spoke to lots of folks today when I called, no one could give me an idea.

  • timofnewbury Tim Thomas 🍻🇪🇺🔶 I ❤️ NHS (@timofnewbury) reported from Newbury, England

  • gooner64 arsenal (@gooner64) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Missing the point guys, this should be able to be done remotely otherwise your never gonna get everyone on to 21CN..

  • Dazle5000 Daz Rawlings (@Dazle5000) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I'm just looking for a better deal/price. I'm not thinking of cancelling yet, but if I can't get anyone to understand or help what else can I do.

  • BeckiAbigail Becki Abigail (@BeckiAbigail) reported

    @virginmedia No estimated times were given else I could've made other arrangements. My bad for assuming it would be carried out off peak. Seems to be back online now

  • scrowstonkate Katie Scott (@scrowstonkate) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks but we are just cancelling never known anything like it terrible terrible company

  • twistedlemones Micky (@twistedlemones) reported

    @virginmedia The no show of the engineer, on the agreed day and set times,and the woeful customer services interaction!

  • bryceroberts122 Bryceroberts (@bryceroberts122) reported

    @virginmedia It says the service is fine. Mine isnt though and for the second day running we have no wifi

  • xluk3e Luke Edwards (@xluk3e) reported

    @virginmedia need some help with this internet of yours.... thought you had a live chat service

  • christate99 Chris Tate (@christate99) reported

    @virginmedia It’s a totally disgraceful service - trying to report a fault and all you seem interested in is flogging some warranty. Make the product work first. Waiting for a response from WhatsApp.

  • DeAtHaToMiC69 Dave Hopkins (@DeAtHaToMiC69) reported

    @virginmedia I've posted about this before and never get any reply, it's been going on for many months now and I'm getting stick of it. I work evenings, come home at 12 and the internet is slow?!... Doesn't make sense... Then it starts to cycle on and off for over and hour.

  • Conanlibrarian9 Conan the Librarian (@Conanlibrarian9) reported

    Every time I phone up @VirginMedia for support, they insist on telling me what a bad phone line it is. My phone works perfectly with everyone else - and plays the dreadful hold music just fine. Why does a telecoms company have such difficulty with communication lol.
