    @rachel_uk_ @virginmedia Feel your frustration. 2 promised callbacks never happened,web complaint form doesn’t work. No email address for complaints. Sent letter of complaint 28/09z No response despite website saying I’d get one within 48 hours. Virgin do not care about customers.

    @virginmedia Yet again Virgin Media is down and yes I have tried the checker. Why are services with VM constantly going down across the UK?

    @MartinSLewis @bbc5live Had replacement windows from a local company 18 months ago and they were excellent but I will tell you the worst people I have ever dealt with - Virgin Media, even worse than British Gas used to be.

    Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Croxley Green, England

    @virginmedia An engineer came today. Issue resolved. If you remember I told you that it was highly probable that work being performed at a cabinet on our street may have resulted in our issue. I also told your telephone support team. That’s exactly what had happened. Appalling service.

    @virginmedia Yep, not good enough. What’s the issue? Why does it keep happening and what are you doing about it? And how are you compensating customers?

  • Mrspdyer
    Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia @dpjohnston10 Complaints procedure is non existent. If you phone, promised call back never happens, webform complaint doesn’t work and hasn’t since at least 28/09. Sent letter 3 wks ago - no response, despite website saying response within 48 hours. Ombudsman here we come.

  • silvergoatish

    @virginmedia Duly noted. I'm not likely to be a customer for much longer though, with your general level of service and pricing.

  • yessibelloperez
    Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Once again, your status checker says there’s nothing wrong but I have just called the number provided and was told by an automated messaging say your engineers are working to resolve a very complex issue. This is the second time in less than a month.

  • PaulswainDJ
    Paul Swain (@PaulswainDJ) reported from Kings Langley, England

    @virginmedia An ongoing account issue. All I’m trying to do is sort it out. Your staff accepted my call today and then hung up after 17 minutes of hold time.

    @virginmedia We’ve spoken to eight people to try and resolve our internet issues.We’ve ordered new boosters because the new service isn’t compatible with the old ones.We’re a ‘priority customer’ - the new boosters still haven’t arrived…So frustrating. Your service is appalling.

    @virginmedia Since w/c 22Aug my wife and I continuously keep checking the service status which gets updated and deadline pushed back. Nobody with virgin has broadband or TV for over 3 weeks now without explanation or a decent update

  • paulusthegrey

    @virginmedia I think I may have an idea what’s happened to your service in #borehamwood It looks like a kerbside box has been totalled by a drunk driver.

    @Ripple300X did you ever get to the bottom of your packet loss issues on Downbad? Speaking to Joby he says you had to stop playing. Having the same issue elsewhere or only on Downbad? I'm trying to talk to Virgin Media just now.

    @adrianweckler The question is will their router support modem mode? Virgin media hub 5x is a dud

    AJ (@The_Broski_Boot) reported

    @virginmedia we are now over 12 hours into this issue without any meaningful update Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, services must be provided with reasonable care and skill. A prolonged outage without resolution or communication may breach this. Can you please update

    Jambo (@The_real_Jambo_) reported

    @virginmedia Internet, and subsequently TV, have been down since yesterday in G67 area. Someone posted a picture of the junction box knocked over, any idea of how long to fix? I work from home and need the Internet to do my job. This needs fixed ASAP.

    @virginmedia hello, I’ve been having WiFi problems for some time now. I already have a WiFi pod in the home but if I move it then we get another dead spot. I have called about this but was told that I need to have a speed test below 30mbps.

  • JordanPsych_
    Jordan (@JordanPsych_) reported

    @virginmedia ever since last Thursday I've been getting high ping issues on call of duty and this is a virgin media specific issue only. Any idea when this is getting fixed?

    Asif Rana (@HounslowParking) reported

    @bt_uk I'd like to know why your business broadband so called service, can only compound its utter uselessness with skyscraper level brain numbing stupidity? I thought @vmbusiness was utterly indescribably ****, until you came along. You literally make them look like geniuses.
