  • RogerHighfield Roger Highfield (@RogerHighfield) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia My broadband is down again - area21. Any idea of when it will be fixed?

  • tomaszrykala Tomasz Rykała (@tomaszrykala) reported from London, England

    Wow @virginmedia is having a complete meltdown in my area and their automated service is telling me that this "short" interruption to my internet services should be resolved at 10 am tomorrow. That's 14 hours from now! What if my work depended on it?

  • joybrenda Brenda (@joybrenda) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia help why have you made it so difficult to log a landline vault on line. Need to call, as line out of order since friday. I am certain it's systems fault as display message I have seen on previous occasions.

  • tlcko1882 Burnley Dave:Not woke just human.💙🌈🍺🇪🇺 (@tlcko1882) reported from London, England

    @journokeith @virginmedia Good as in they acknowledged your existence was what I meant. That's how their "customer services" is set up, they don't have the staff based in the UK to deal with it and all they can do is what they are doing.

  • LutherB40510976 Luther Blissett (@LutherB40510976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia can you give me a direct number to call to cancel my contract. I've used whataspp / webchat and spoken to two people in last 24 hours - but to no avail.

  • blackheathma Amanda Birrell (@blackheathma) reported from London, England

    @MartinSLewis It is the worst company I have ever dealt with and I’m now actively discouraging others to use Virgin Media. Cancelling is also very difficult and deliberately so

  • farnsworth_adam Adam Farnsworth (@farnsworth_adam) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s appalling they can act so quickly What about the speed issue?

  • GoonerGrizzly grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking

  • RogerHighfield Roger Highfield (@RogerHighfield) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia, your app does not seem to think there's a problem with the internet in area 21. I think different. Can you check?!

  • elthampalacegay royal 🌈 (@elthampalacegay) reported from London, England

    Can you please just sort out the broadband issues in SE9 @virginmedia Been ongoing since the 30th with timeline of resolution continually moving out.

  • donnorcean Connor Dean (@donnorcean) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia have had intermittent issues for over a month now, every time I go down the route of reporting the issue it just says wait 24 hours. How can I speak to someone about this as the phone number never gets me to a person?

  • LutherB40510976 Luther Blissett (@LutherB40510976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia what is the number for your complaints department? It seems impossible to actually terminate my contract with you. Am I in the Hotel California?

  • donnorcean Connor Dean (@donnorcean) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Still cutting in and out as it has been for many weeks… no local area issues listed anywhere. Have been trying to get ahold of someone for weeks now but just keeps looping in the app, really frustrating

  • elthampalacegay royal 🌈 (@elthampalacegay) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I’m going to get disciplined in work as I don’t have internet connection. Who can my employer speak with to confirm this is a virgin issue??

  • GoonerGrizzly grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

  • Gold_Accounting Going for Gold (@Gold_Accounting) reported from South Ockendon, England

    SHAME ON YOU @virginmedia refusing to send an engineer to repair my 87 year old mum with a heart condition who needs a 24/7 line for her emergency button. Making her wait ANOTHER 6 days

  • Gold_Accounting Going for Gold (@Gold_Accounting) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @itvnews please help. @virginmedia refusing to prioritise an 87 year old with a heart condition who needs a 24/7 phone line for her Emergency button a priority. Refusing to send an Engineer for ANOTHER 6 days.

  • GoonerGrizzly grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

  • Gold_Accounting Going for Gold (@Gold_Accounting) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @BBCNews please help. @virginmedia refusing to make an 87 year old with a heart condition who needs her telephone 24/7 for her emergency button a priority. Not sending an engineer for ANOTHER 6 DAYS.

  • jamieleehaynes jamie lee haynes (@jamieleehaynes) reported

    @virginmedia Right this is stupid I have been trying to contact you for four days now I got put on hold for over 2 1/2 hours the other day and I’ve still got nowhere I have tried on the forms but I’ve got nowhere either how is this fair

  • DanPugh1 Dan Pugh (@DanPugh1) reported

    @virginmedia It's taken over 2 days but in the last 20 minutes I've had an acknowledgement by text but yet to offer any support. Feel pretty let down by the whole thing to be honest

  • DoubtingVictor Victor Mildew (@DoubtingVictor) reported

    @virginmedia 2/2 Please stop trying to dodge the issue! It’s not good enough and it’s not acceptable to blame COVID on the fact that you don’t wish to employ sufficient resources to answer your phones. I want you to throttle us back up to what I’m paying for and I’d like to speak to somebody.

  • beatieedney Beatie Edney 💙(freelancer) (@beatieedney) reported

    @virginmedia There might have been a problem in the area on 30 December.

  • randallwrites Lee Randall (@randallwrites) reported

    @Archie_V Haha. As if I know. I am, for my sins, a Virgin media customer and have what I think is a Tivo box I would expect to use. My vision is poor so am thinking biggish screen? Current relic measures 27” diagonally across screen. . . My friend, I am CLUELESS and poor.

  • SydMarNi SydMarNi (@SydMarNi) reported

    @virginmedia Spent over an hour on hold, can’t keep wasting so much time. Feel like I’ve made a bad decision...

  • Frogonastring Mark Fletcher (@Frogonastring) reported

    It develops - that conversation got disconnected whilst I had lunch, so I'm back in the queue again. @virginmedia, I think your systems are broken.

  • beatieedney Beatie Edney 💙(freelancer) (@beatieedney) reported

    @virginmedia I also need to talk to Customer Service do I can leave what do I do?

  • phatp1p3 Steven Harley (@phatp1p3) reported

    So just put the phone down on @virginmedia after 1hr 20 minutes without answer. No online chat nobody seems interested #Service

  • xladylouu Louise Allen (@xladylouu) reported

    @virginmedia been waiting since Wednesday to talk to someone on the Web chat. Everyday it gets refreshed and have to talk to bit again. Can't get through on the phone because (no signal with new sim from you) This is really important and I need to get through to someone today.
