    @virginmedia Every one of your engineers that I’ve spoken to have also warned me that your customer service is diabolical. The only truth I’ve been told by a Virgin rep

    @virginmedia I rang pre installs 3 times last week, spending an average of 1hr on the phone, getting no where nobody in preinstalls can tel me what’s going on, they just promise to get someone to call me. That call never happens

    @virginmedia It's both. I have been doing some digging and it's the upload speeds. They are not getting anywhere over 2MB /sec which is not good enough. It has been very slow over the last couple of days

    @virginmedia my mums phone does not work I’ve phoned your so called help line waste of time she is 90 has had a stroke unable to get your operators to understand her has had a letter saying she needs a technician to update her phone line. Now her life line doesn’t work 🤬🤬🤬

    @virginmedia No service is SO17 postcode, either TV or internet. Is there an issue?

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Ampfield, England

    @virginmedia @NetflixUK You may as well not have a customer services team. I’ve spoken to one helpful person in the 53 days I’ve been chasing Virgin for my install.

    Daniel John 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@DIZZYDJC) reported from West End, England

    My internet is painfully slow tonight. Checked my router and it's not that, it's the internet itself. What is going on @virginmedia ? Your status says no faults but I can assure you there is. I am paying for 1GB bb and so far only reaching speeds of about 2.25 mb- explain??

    Cheers @virginmedia WiFi gone down in the middle of the FA cup semi final. Utter **** as usual

  • Celticchorus
    Liz Havlin (@Celticchorus) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Yes we checked. No-one would answer phone as you’re so busy with fault complaints. We paid for your top service, over £90 a month. We are now in the midst of moving to Sky because quite frankly, enough was enough with your dreadful service!

  • colingrinnell
    colin grinnell (@colingrinnell) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia is there any known problems with your WiFi hub ? The WiFi signal I receive is terrible constantly dropping out. I spend most of the time on 3G as it’s more reliable. I have rebooted all routers and boosters but noting seems to make the WiFi work

  • leeradcliffe73
    lee Radcliffe (@leeradcliffe73) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginhelp my WiFi is terrible apart from when I’m sat right next to it and @virginmedia have been no help. kids are struggling to do their home schooling

    @GeorgeMonbiot @timolarch @VodafoneUK My husband had the same problem with Virgin Media after the death of his father. He was given the number of the ‘bereavement department’ and he phoned, assuming they would help. Instead the woman demanded his father’s PIN and said only he could cancel!

  • JFeathjav
    James Featherstone (@JFeathjav) reported from Southampton, England

    @davenevin @virginmedia Luckily their customer service is excellent 🥴

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Ampfield, England

    @virginmedia It seems like nobody @ Virgin is willing to intervene and sort this out. As a result Virgin just keep setting install dates and cancelling. The cycle repeats over and over. Customer service don’t help, despite me calling everyday.

  • JoannecolesJo
    Jo (@JoannecolesJo) reported from Eastleigh, England

    Just want to recommend that people don’t go with @virginmedia for their broadband I’ve been trying to leave for 2 weeks and ‘they’re very sorry to hear that how can we help ?’ Just let me cancel for goodness sake’s

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Ampfield, England

    @virginmedia Look back through my previous tweets. After 3 months of cancellations from Virgin, lies and let downs - I’ve had to cancel the agreement completely

    @Benleo @virginmedia They told you that you have to buy a 2 year contract in order for them to fix their own cable, and you believed them? 🤪

  • Selhurst1905
    David kirk (@Selhurst1905) reported

    @virginmedia @teamwedge999 I need help @virginmedia. App not worked since joining 5 weeks ago fibre is lagging all the time yet all I keep getting told is our team is dealing with it over 5 weeks shocking customer service

  • frantruth
    Frantruth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 (@frantruth) reported

    @Benleo Trouble is, Virgin Media isn't British owned. Regardless, it should be written into law that if you provide telecommunications to British customers, the call centre serving sales and customer service must be based in Britain.

  • rwfc236
    Howard Freeman (@rwfc236) reported

    @virginmedia Internet down again, TV Down last week, problems are happening too often to be comfortable, perhaps the time has come to review my provider, there are many companies who chase me, I have resisted so far, but these mounting issues are too much

  • deirdremaryk
    mary Kelly (@deirdremaryk) reported

    Rte and Virgin media eulogizing this man who was a prolific thief allegedly. Not a word about the old man who was knocked down by him trying to escape. Shocking reporting by both. Hope the old gentleman makes a full recovery.🤞🏾🤞🏾

    @jomickane @Benleo Don't go with Virgin media Jo , the worst company ever.

    @saltyy_savage I had Virgin media for years and only issues and expensive contracts. I am on Plusnet right now £43/46 for 900mb with 0 problems and uk customer services. They do £3 increase yearly and I am curious to see my first contract end what I'll get. Bet still better than virgin

  • ProudWhiteMe
    ProudWhiteMe (@ProudWhiteMe) reported

    @Benleo Virgin Media has the worst customer service that i have ever experienced. It is almost impossible to speak to someone who speaks English well enough to understand what is going on. Its chat bots are a waste of space. Yet they continue to put their costs up every year without fail

  • AndrewPittman2
    Andrew Pittman (@AndrewPittman2) reported

    Ok @virginmedia, I’ve had enough. We’ve been without our TV for 6 days following the outage last week. We have been given several promises for dates that the issue will be fixed - hasn’t happened. I was promised an update by phone this morning - hasn’t happened. 30 year customer!
