    Vishal Aggarwal 🧢 (@vishalagga) reported from Crawley, England

    @virginmedia @vmbusiness just phoned VM customer support & guys in the background shouted “hey it’s God’s brother calling up in Hindi” that customer was of 90 years of age; I found that remarks so appalling. They must treat their customer with respect as they would expect to be

  • Louisblack
    Louis Houghton (@Louisblack) reported from Hove, England

    Ugh, I really need to get off my arse and swap internet from @virginmedia to someone else. £50 a month is pretty damn ridiculous.

    @virginmedia Yea IL call again sit in a que for an hour and you guys will do **** all again I'm sure

    @virginmedia telephone & Internet down since yesterday. According to your technical team. There’s no a problem at all our n Shoreham-by-Sea

  • priyadeshingkar

    @virginmedia Broadband has been v slow for days and seems to be completely down today.

  • emxme
    Emma Mendes da Costa (she/her) (@emxme) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Again, @obscurenonsense has spoken to your engineers already. It is a recurring, known issue that has stopped us working from home effectively. I feel like you haven't read our tweets properly.

  • mike_the_frog
    Mike Coombes (@mike_the_frog) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia He said that the box needed replacing but didn’t have time to do it. My TV is unwatchable and your customer service is shoddy.

  • ColynMitchell
    Mitch (@ColynMitchell) reported from Crawley, England

    @virginmedia I pay for 300 meg broadband and have done for a long time. Currently via ethernet cable I get 100 meg and wifi 30-40 meg tops. But as low as 10-15 meg. When trying to stream anything via firestick I get buffering. A few weeks ago we had no problems.

  • mike_the_frog
    Mike Coombes (@mike_the_frog) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just been kept on hold for 40 minutes before finally speaking to a very rude and brusque operative who spent 5 minutes asking me to check the cables I’d already checked (I’m not stupid) before hanging up on me. Problem still not resolved. Appalling.

  • emxme
    Emma Mendes da Costa (she/her) (@emxme) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia As in the above tweets, @obscurenonsense has already been on the phone to your engineers for an hour. Our upload speed is close to zero, and there is a recurring network problem in our area. You have made working from home a complete nightmare.

  • panda_creative
    Panda Creative Ltd (@panda_creative) reported from Sompting, England

    @Paul_667 @virginmedia Nope, not had that problem mate, the only problem is getting this phone line moved over, for such an easy task they do seem to be making it very VERY complicated.

  • GaryAblett3
    Greyman (Gary A) (@GaryAblett3) reported from Crawley, England

    @virginmedia I’m confused. This isn’t a general concern. This is a complaint and you are legally obliged to handle the complaint or I will simply refer to Ofcom.

  • ColynMitchell
    Mitch (@ColynMitchell) reported from Crawley, England

    @virginmedia Reboot temporarily increased the speed but nothing near the service I was getting in the past. I work from home a need fast connection. So need this sorted out please.

  • emxme
    Emma Mendes da Costa (she/her) (@emxme) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia After a total of hour and 15 minutes on the phone, @obscurenonsense was finally told that there is a known network issue affecting both wired and wireless devices in our area (BN3). We have not been given a time frame for its resolution.

  • mattie_b83
    mattieb (@mattie_b83) reported from Crawley, England

    What a load a shit @viginmedia is ! Just spent 13 quid on a movie that wont even play ! So gonna look at different companies virgin media is just expensive crap

  • marmite22
    Jesse Baker 🇪🇺 (@marmite22) reported from Hove, England

    Work from home specifically to go on an all day conference call and @virginmedia goes down. Unbelievable.

  • JMOC89
    James Crouch (@JMOC89) reported from Hove, England

    Imagine my second @virginmedia complaint almost 4 weeks without a response also. Its almost like they don't want to deal with it

  • GaryAblett3
    Greyman (Gary A) (@GaryAblett3) reported from Crawley, England

    @virginmedia No. The reference was not given to me. But the complaint was logged.

  • clareypoos
    Clare Taylor (@clareypoos) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia Your site is an absolute joke. I spent over 90 mins this morning trying to speak with someone but was passed about, I only want to change my package as the service you provide is not worth the £72 I'm paying! Now you've just told me the servers are down! #cross

  • GaryAblett3
    Greyman (Gary A) (@GaryAblett3) reported from Crawley, England

    @virginmedia I’m sorry but that’s goal post moving. I’m not accepting that as a valid response. If you’re paid money for a service I expect a half decent service. This is 60% of what we are paying for. Also, I complained over the phone and you never responded to my complaint.

    @virginmedia I took a new contract out which includes Netflix. I have tried calling to resolve this, WhatsApp and other means and am still being let down here two months in. I am very disappointed sadly.
