    @virginmedia It’s not the WiFi, I am hard wired into to the router. So there is no excuse for this poor service.

  • Faffiani Curt (@Faffiani) reported

    @virginmedia call answered just before 100 mins on hold. Gave my details again, explained the issue again. "Second line support will get back to you in 48hrs" great, thanks guys 👍👀

  • seanraaron Sean Aaron (@seanraaron) reported

    Just got an offer letter from Virgin Media for their new M200 broadband and granted 200Mbps sounds great, but an extra £50/mo over my current bill is eye-watering as is the cheek of a £35 “activation fee” - apparently because I’m an existing customer.

  • benjiheath89 Ben Heath (@benjiheath89) reported

    @virginmedia I’m trying to leave and move to Sky but I cannot get through to anyone on your phone lines (been on hold for an hour). Are you able to help any other way?

  • cheltenhamlady anne selley (@cheltenhamlady) reported

    @virginmedia Forget all this hype, just give me a decent service and at better prices for loyal customers

  • AleixoGomes4 Aleixo Gomes (@AleixoGomes4) reported

    @virginmedia you have said there will be compensation scheme in place for total loss of service , and no there is none offered , but bills are generated well in time

  • AleixoGomes4 Aleixo Gomes (@AleixoGomes4) reported

    @virginmedia the loss of service was for more then a day without internet , and now your custo rep says there is no compensation in place for intermittent dont understand the planned outage meaning , does it not have to be reported to the customer in advance ? #virginmediadown #virginmedia

  • _laurenjade Lauren ‎🌻 (@_laurenjade) reported

    Virgin media is the worst internet provider 🙄

  • LeeMurf299 Lee Murphy (@LeeMurf299) reported

    @virginmedia Hours on hold to report faults. Links on website take you round in circles. This is not supposed to be this hard. Paying good money to get a service that you just don't provide and can't get through to resolve these when they go wrong.

  • AleixoGomes4 Aleixo Gomes (@AleixoGomes4) reported

    @virginmedia guess what , virgin media custome rep on message chat says a techinical issue a planned outage . actions none taken for a planned outage , none reported to customer for backup plans and where we investigated on the issue with planned outage where virgin M had no clue

  • helloellaxo Ella (@helloellaxo) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’m switching to Virgin broadband next week (being installed) but my Now broadband doesn’t end until the 11th, is that going to be a problem? Can it still be installed? Thank you
