    @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.

  • 1SLToo
    Andy (@1SLToo) reported from Rickmansworth, England

    Merry Christmas to all at @virginmedia who have left all of us in WD3 area with no TV or Internet for over a week (predicted) and probably longer over the entire festive period, moving to sky in the new year due to your continuing rubbish service and customer service

    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.

    @elisjames @virginmedia Used to have problems in Streatham with Virgin before we change provider. Needed a new router last time.

    David Renton (@david_renty) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia bit of a pain that if you want to cancel a new connection on a weekend then the first line cancellation don't seem to know you can't do this...

  • 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.

    Jacob Smith (@JacobWSmith10) reported from Camden, England

    @virginmedia @skytv can you please sort out the sky sports app. I cannot login in using my virgin media account. It will not load the password page. I don’t really see why it logs me out periodically in the first place.

    John carroll (@Johnboy82903002) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia Done that, and still doesn't work

  • U2Gorilla
    Snatch (@U2Gorilla) reported from Southall, England

    Possibly the worst service Iv ever experience by @virginmedia signed up to a new contract on 4/08/22. Installation engineer was due today, no contact from virgin. called call centre on the phone for 56min multiple transfers asked to redo everything including provide bank details

    Little_Missy2. MA. History🐝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🌹 (@Missy_Ports) reported from Barnet, England

    @SilentMugger @virginmedia Yes I'm shocked too, didn't think it would be this long & they best fix it as I can't work and I'm using all my mobile data to try and contact them. Really bad service.

  • DrewSalisbury5
    Drew Salisbury (@DrewSalisbury5) reported from Barnet, England

    [1] @virginmedia I have not had access to WiFi for a couple of days now. I have checked the cables, rebooted the Hub and run the final diagnostic tests several times. Still nothing. On the one hand, your system tells me that there is a wider broadband issue in the area and […]

    ᒍᗩᑎE (@gemmak500) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia To be honest you probably can’t, I’ve been this route often previously and nothing changes. Made to jump thru the same basic hoops time & again by staff members who don’t understand the systems, it’s a perpetual, frustrating loop. Still my service is dreadful.

  • spandya1
    Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Watford District, England

    Called @virginmedia , now a technician booked. Outages are now common, there’s little communication from @virginmedia on actual status, even the service status page is usually out of date and the call centre staff admitted to me they don’t know what’s going on.

  • IstvanOFatyol
    Oliver Fatyol (@IstvanOFatyol) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia It is incredible, what you're doing is just pushing the date on your service page to one week to another. We don't have Internet for two months now! What are your engineers doing? I am going to cancel your contract and I will go with an better provider. @virginmedia #virginmedia

  • StrummerJonny
    Jonny Paul (@StrummerJonny) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia is there any point, why not just give up? #virginbroadband down again, x4/2 days and at least once a month you are guaranteed #broadband #outage

  • Daymoalexander
    Daymo Alexander (@Daymoalexander) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia I think @YodelOnline needs a good kick up the behind for being super late and not even letting the customer know! Not a great start so far #newcustomer

  • morish1
    maureen robert (@morish1) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia This is false advertising. My broadband goes off more than it’s on and then it is so slow. I have lost count on the times I have called the help line. I have rebooted routinely, it works for a while then off again. I have had enough now as enough is enough!!!

  • SanderjoJohn
    John Sanderson (@SanderjoJohn) reported from Barnet, England

    @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.

    @IainSankey @virginmedia We left them years ago, nightmare. Had to explain to one of their agents what a postcode was...at that point I realised we had to part company. I have never regretted getting rid of them.
