@virginmedia I used to think using your broadband service was really good but to hear my mother in law has had no broadband for a month and it still isn’t sorted when they said it would be by 2pm today,I won’t be recommending you anymore #virginmedia #nobroadband #NeverAgain

@virginmedia why are you ignoring my tweets on the other thread you started? On your advice been trying to get support over SMS but it just goes in a continuous loop of the same questions for 4 days?!! You also don’t answer your phone or live chat? How do I actually get help?

@virginmedia Not being rude but I have explained it more than once to various people at Virgin media, who really can't come up with a solution and I feel that they're not really interested in doing so either, I feel as if I'm just another customer who is just not getting what I'm paying for😩

@virginmedia I keep getting calls offering me the world if only I pay 10 more each month. I keep explaining I need to reduce my bill not increase it!! Now I get a call at least once a month. Always the same " we want to review your current service..."

@virginmedia what has happened to your customer service? I have been waiting since Wednesday evening for someone to reply ‘ as soon as possible’ about a fault. Currently on hold as usual on the phone. Is there anyone there at all!?

@virginmedia I don’t appreciate being put on hold for 40 minutes being charged for my call, then just cut off with no explanation! Your service over the past few months has been terrible, having to reboot WiFi every day to get internet & my bill has yet again gone up! 😡

@virginmedia Well since our exchange I’ve now been asked my problem and same security questions by an automated text bot 3 times with no actual response. Now the internet has just gone off again during the football. Think I’ll stop recommending @virginmedia to people now.

Damn. We have @virginmedia which doesn't have @disneyplus as an app. I signed up for it anyway as our DVD has a browser but no go. Think it is time to buy an Apple TV. #nohamiltonforme

@virginmedia Well it's November, my install was due in August. There is a big hole at the side of my house. The fence panels you put round it have blown all over the place. Come and fix the hole, make good my garden, & let's move on. I give up, will stick with #sky #Disgraceful

@virginmedia my son has been trying to talk to someone about cancelling for days but keeps getting fobbed off by your customer service team. You gave him an installation date & failed to turn up or ring him back. Terrible service

Bought an Amazon Fire Stick so we can access @disneyplus (@virginmedia doesn't have it as an app choice). Got D+ so I can force @SirParker77 to watch Hamilton & Star Wars. Never thought I would dig the IoT element, but it is groovy to press a button and ask Alexia to play tunes.

@virginmedia utterly appalling service from Virgin Media. Internet completely down the other day and now problematic to say the least. Tried phoning earlier and gave up after half an hour. Just tried again and gave up after 35 mins. What has happened to the service? It’s awful

@virginmedia Like I'd said, I've tried contacting you by phone (as mentioned in the link above) for few hours, with no success. Given that the alternative is contacting you by letter (which I highly doubt you'll answer to), that's not really a solution now, is it.

@virginmedia Absolutely terrible. Waiting over 5 months for installation. Keep coming and "forgetting" what they need to do the actual install. And rescheduling. For a month later. Shockingly terrible service. Would go with another provider if possible.

@virginmedia Hi, yes, I was told that this was being processed during my call to cancellations - but, I've received anxiously nothing to confirm this, either in email or anything within my account - I don't really want to go through some form argument down the line, hence I'm reaching out

Calling @virginmedia because they're not meeting minimum speed guarantee: however much a minute. Being told they're having internet issues so can't even test your line: PRICELESS. I'm annulling my contract asap and don't recommend them to anyone. Totally atrocious all the time!!

@virginmedia For an order update I'm sorry that's ridiculous. An open forum is your solution? There's absolutely no reason someone can't just take a reference number and track down my order for an update

@virginmedia I’ve rang each month to fix this situation but there’s never anyone to even answer the phone. I think I’m entitled to 5 months free wifi or £235 for the sheer inconvenience you have caused me! I’ve had talk talk wifi since Feb 1st, you have made me pay for 2 wifis
