  • Jimbob_Du james Dunn (@Jimbob_Du) reported from Hoddesdon, England

    @virginmedia I received a phone call from a man , Jacob Smith purporting to be from your security department. He told me my internet had been hacked by someone in the USA. He refused any contact details after he told me to download a Quick Support app. He phoned 01606863673.

  • lotfredjanlee Lee Gildersleve (@lotfredjanlee) reported from Watton at Stone, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi is so bad that come 7pm we have to switch it if on our phones and use our data. I’ve just tried to book a service call only to be told I can’t as they are doing work on our area and it will automatically get cancelled. It’s been bad for a year now!!!!

  • Jimbob_Du james Dunn (@Jimbob_Du) reported from Hoddesdon, England

    @virginmedia You obviously don’t read my tweets. I complained and it took 6 weeks to reply. Your company is really pathetic, and has no customer service.

  • Jimbob_Du james Dunn (@Jimbob_Du) reported from Hoddesdon, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is unbelievably pathetic. You think paying me £50 discount will resolve my contempt for your service, well it won’t. It took you 6 weeks before anyone even contacted me. I pay for 300 meg WiFi, I’m lucky if I get 20.

  • Garyonline1 Gary dorrington (@Garyonline1) reported from Chipping Ongar, England

    @virginmedia Also it would be nice for someone to point out what is the problem we are currently having.

  • djsmiffyp Paul Ess 🇮🇪 (@djsmiffyp) reported from Harlow, England

  • Garyonline1 Gary dorrington (@Garyonline1) reported from Chipping Ongar, England

    @virginmedia We have had no coverage over the weekend in december we were without service for 10 days this seems to be an ongoing problem which you are failing to cure

  • NeilMcG1972 Neil Mcgeough (@NeilMcG1972) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @virginmedia how come I cannot dial 150 anymore to get through to customer services? What is the new number to report a fault

  • Juju79 Julie Lawrence (@Juju79) reported from Hoddesdon, England

    @virginmedia I have tried calling the customer service number but it says the call cannot be connected.

  • SalesRemedy Terry Carney 👋 (@SalesRemedy) reported from Sheering, England

    @virginmedia Ongoing issues; On ZOOM lag issue. On Netflix during viewing stops, whirls and often crashes. Day to day work, slow load on web browsers, crashes daily even with Ethernet run to office in house. Upgraded recently now £114 a month and still awful WiFi. How do I cancel my contract?

  • TrudyLea1 Trudy Lea (@TrudyLea1) reported from Sawbridgeworth, England

    @virginmedia Hi, When trying to watch anything “on demand” it continuously crashes, and we get a variety of error codes, and anything HD, doesn’t load at all. My 2nd box doesn’t work, it just stays on the start up page with the circle spinning. We have pretty much lost wifi upstairs. Help!

  • EllieMB1 Ellie (@EllieMB1) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @virginmedia why have I been on hold to your customer service department for 1 hr been cut off and then called again another 1hr cut off. On hold now, emailed and went through online and still nothing!!!! What’s going on!!!! Is anyone answering the phones

  • Garyonline1 Gary dorrington (@Garyonline1) reported from Chipping Ongar, England

    @virginmedia No apparently there are ongoing issues in my area Cm5 9az which you are hoping to resolved by the 5th but not definite i just wish you would inform customers when these faults occur rather than us chasing you up

  • sarahcoysgabb sarah gabb (@sarahcoysgabb) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @virginmedia can someone in the tech team please dm me as I have had no internet stability now for 2 months and no human is answering the phone not good when homeschooling

  • MatthewSaggers Matthew Saggers (@MatthewSaggers) reported from Harlow, England

    @virginmedia 150 all departments are shut, my virgin media app keeps having a 500 error code. How do we contact some to move an appointment due to family emergency. Shame for a communication company users can't communicate with you.

  • CzerkiesErnest Lokalny Watazka (@CzerkiesErnest) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, how can I cancel my contract if no-one is available through yours phone after 30 mins waiting? As well you have better prices for new customers than existing what is not acceptable.

  • Kevmeen_4 Kevin Meenan (@Kevmeen_4) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks appreciate that ... Pity the retention department didn't show half the courtesy to a customer of 5+ years

  • LloydPeters18 Lloyd Peters (@LloydPeters18) reported

    @AsifGulam4 @virginmedia Having the exact same issue. Lies and ambivalence is the stock order of the helpless customer services team. The install just needs to be done - just do it!

  • DavidDha007 david antunes (@DavidDha007) reported

    @virginmedia Standard crap generic response…shameful

  • NOTOMASKS1 #novaccinemandates (@NOTOMASKS1) reported

    @virginmedia can anyone @virginmedia offer me a less disrespectful way of alerting them to the death of a customer other than waiting on hold for 30 minutes?

  • JLFEternal Julia Fiske (@JLFEternal) reported

    @virginmedia @Sherl0ckSparr0w Are there any problems in the Kettering NN15 area? Have had no TV, phone or WiFi since last night. Have rebooted and tried other tech fixes but not resolved. Please could you advise? Thanks.

  • Arthrit89487281 Arthritis (@Arthrit89487281) reported

    @virginmedia I want to go to another network, but you will charge me for the outstanding balance, don’t see why I should be charged when you haven’t provided the services I have paid for!!!!!!!!!!!

  • stalbans_nick Nick J Silverstone (@stalbans_nick) reported

    @virginmedia over 20 years as a customer and finally given notice. Charges rising from £51 to £71 when a new customer pays £41. Outrageous! And very rude customer service agent!

  • __Zerrin Zerrin (@__Zerrin) reported

    @virginmedia No, still no internet!! What is the problem? On the website it shows no issues??

  • JoyKluver Joy Kluver🍪🍪🍪💙 (@JoyKluver) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. I’ve had text messages telling me there are essential works happening today in my area. Does this mean the internet will go down? My husband needs it for work. On service status it just shows a problem with TV. Thanks
