  • dietmarlen Dietmar Lenden #FBPE (@dietmarlen) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia An engineer will be sent on Saturday. Second one in a week. Trying to use the chat function to load get a complaint and it disconnects. The agents do not seem keen on taking a complaint. I have been happish with tservice for few years now but it has deteriorated in last 6 weeks

  • mattylynn79 Matt Lynn (@mattylynn79) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia I hope with the resolution the member of staff settle my frustration with more than the amount of sorries you have given me. Maybe then I will feel a little less aggrieved

  • dietmarlen Dietmar Lenden #FBPE (@dietmarlen) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Well surprise surprise. The WiFi is down again. 6 weeks in a row. Call Centre hing yo when passing my call to a manager. Poor service. This is now unacceptable. How do I complain (other than @Ofcom) about this poor service. Why is the service so awful now.

  • keith319 Keith (@keith319) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Would have been useful a week ago, but as of now, service is as it should be. Been very patchy over the last week though, so don’t know what’s causing this.

  • LibertyLndnGirl Sasha Wilkins (@LibertyLndnGirl) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia And by the way even the guy on the chat told me he agreed with me and that there was clearly no information on how to cancel on your actual how to cancel page on the website. Which I believe is against Ofcom regulations

  • MikeJoiner1965 Mike (@MikeJoiner1965) reported from Harpenden, England

    @virginmedia Sorry for late reply. I know my sim contract is about to end. When I tried CS I explained the issue I have. I asked if I could cancel the sim when the contract expires during that call. He told me a date to call back. Because of memory issues I forget date.

  • Edgarcia2Edwin Edwin (@Edgarcia2Edwin) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @RachelHazey @virginmedia @AitchandAitchBe I'm cancelling mine too. This company is the worst of its kind. Customer service is diabolical and I've had enough. Never again.

  • MattX1971 Matt (@MattX1971) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia surprise surprise no broadband yet again at UB8 3JQ - what a comple and utter joke of a service you give. Absolute ****. It’s down more than it’s up. Complete and utter rip off.

  • NickLovell_ Nick Lovell (@NickLovell_) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia so my services, since being installed have not worked more than they have worked. As first impressions go this is very bad. If this isn’t fixed by this afternoon I will cancel my services as im still within 14 days cooling period.

  • digs9292 JBailey (@digs9292) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

    @andygoldstein05 @VirginAtlantic Same with @virginmedia worst company in the bloody world.

  • LibertyLndnGirl Sasha Wilkins (@LibertyLndnGirl) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia I understand that they are salespeople and they have an obligation to try to upsell me I had to tell him eight times that all I wanted to do was cancel my account and he would not listen to me. It is outrageous

  • MattX1971 Matt (@MattX1971) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia - yet again no internet in the UB8 3JQ area - as this is no a common occurance please arrange some form of refund as I’m getting sick and tired of this shoddy service.

  • mattylynn79 Matt Lynn (@mattylynn79) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia been waiting 5 days for a call back about my package now. Rang 3 times and each time they have “guaranteed” a call back within 24 hours. I know we are in a pandemic but quite shocking customer service

  • CorpFred Fred D (@CorpFred) reported from Kensington, England

    @birh_trx @virginmedia Yes it is down

  • luke_strollo black lives matter (@luke_strollo) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia hey I've tried calling to cancel my 12 month contract as it's finished soon but I have to wait on hold for ages (I understand there are less call centres open), is there any other way I can close my contract without being stuck on hold for ages

  • JakElkes Jack Elkes (@JakElkes) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia @YessMarvell @virginmedia also having issues here but your service status page is down....

  • Ashirane Ayako (@Ashirane) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia it’s been three days we’re experiencing broadband and TV service. People are working remotely and heavily rely on the virtual communications!!!

  • digs9292 JBailey (@digs9292) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

    @SkyUK help me out guys. @virginmedia are awful. Need new TV and Broadband.

  • LibertyLndnGirl Sasha Wilkins (@LibertyLndnGirl) reported from Camden Town, England

    @chrisjrob @virginmedia I really took great exception to wasting my time with the guy on the phone who would not go ahead and cancel and kept blatantly ignoring me when I told him I wasn’t giving him any information about my movements or reasons for cancelling

  • NickLovell_ Nick Lovell (@NickLovell_) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia new broadband install today, was working fine now nothing. Your website won’t allow me to set up my account to check local service. Im an ex virgin engineer so know what to do and check. No Down or upstream signals. Same for neighbours. Get this sorted immediately

  • LarryCuffe Larry Cuffe (@LarryCuffe) reported

    I am having Internet problems, all thanks to Virgin Media, so I am having to use finite 4G on my mobile. It means that you will have some respite from my rants. I will be back, as annoying as ever when I can.

  • matthewknapton1 Matt⚫️⚪️ (@matthewknapton1) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve just clicked that link and searched my postcode and now they’ve picked up on the issue and saying 21:45 as the estimate fix!!

  • FBM_Warrior Jo Cole ♿️ FBM CFS DCD TMJ (@FBM_Warrior) reported

    @virginmedia The WiFi extender we have sorted we do have our own, but when we said we had issues with the hub the only advice given was to get the WiFi boosters, even when we said it’s the hub loosing signal & rebooting itself regularly

  • Conflict_arch Sarah Ashbridge (@Conflict_arch) reported

    @virginmedia Yep, done that- but virgin have text me saying the internet is back on. It’s not, and your service updates say it’s not. So why is virgin texting me to say it’s on?

  • TomCIarke Tom (@TomCIarke) reported

    @virginmedia Nope, nothing! No issues at all. It’s just a couple channels are now greyed out on the TV guide when they weren’t yesterday!

  • ResignedToFate Seeking Peace (@ResignedToFate) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I did. Then requested pod for bedroom after running tests on the app & found out there's long queue & a lot of "demand" for the pods. Later on someone told me even if I get a pod it won't help much according to their own experience. So basically I was on 100mbps connection...

  • superssonic David Hawkins (@superssonic) reported

    @virginmedia So as I kept saying to virgin I was an issue was being ignored

  • feministmother_ Charlie Little (@feministmother_) reported

    @virginmedia No faults. Just seems to be getting between 20-50mb when I normally get around 200mb. I’ve rebooted my hub and tried everything to fix it

  • TraylerBE BT (@TraylerBE) reported

    @virginmedia There was a recent outage for TV in my area. Website now says it's back up and running but service as been very slow/unresponsive. Can someone please DM me more info? Thanks.

  • ronlondoncon Ron (@ronlondoncon) reported

    @virginmedia This is pretty outrageous. I was on the online chat service first thing in the morning and no agent connected. I then finally managed to speak to someone on the phone who had all my details inc my number but didn’t call back after the call got disconnected.
