  • THSARAIVA Thiago Saraiva (@THSARAIVA) reported from Camden Town, England

    @vmbusiness @virginmedia outage in your services again. I'm trying to break my record of 3 consecutive days without problems. No lucky

  • michellenathan1 Michelle Nathan (@michellenathan1) reported from Shenley, England

    @virginmedia Is there a problem with Virgin media, internet is not working!

  • nathanmladin Nathan Mladin (@nathanmladin) reported from London Colney, England

    .@virginmedia: Nathan, ‘you deserve so much more’ (i.e. a glitzier phone, a bigger mobile plan etc). Me: ‘No, I don’t and I don’t care for your meritocratic marketing crap.’

  • stillphone Phil Stone (@stillphone) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia Not now as gave up trying to connect after 90 minutes. It’s just utter rubbish. Would never move to you guys...

  • stillphone Phil Stone (@stillphone) reported from Kensington, England

    If @virginmedia in @British_Airways T5 FirstClass Lounge is as good as it gets then I’ll never be a @virginmedia customer because it’s utter crap!

  • mcgolding1970 Mark Golding (@mcgolding1970) reported from St Albans, England

    @Classicbritcom @virginmedia To get out of the contract. Even though I had been a customer for 5 years!

  • Wendy_Wo_Wo Wendy Rochester (@Wendy_Wo_Wo) reported from Southall, England

    Sure @usainbolt would be proud to be associated with such a shabby service! Exactly why I left @virginmedia for their poor customer service & horrendous pricing! 😡

  • music235 Nick 235 (@music235) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia do you know what the issue is in NW6. There are 2 faults one has said “The problem is almost fixed - our engineers are carrying out their final checks” for quite a while now. Area code 21.

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The deeper check did not work because the internet is down and therefore the check did not work......it’s just so pathetic really

  • MurrayAlanLee DREAMVIEW ESTATES (@MurrayAlanLee) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia Seems he went to rear of building He was told to call and there is a NOTE there, IGNORED IT despite being told at customer services

  • BillyWhufcCoyi2 Billy⚒⚒ (@BillyWhufcCoyi2) reported from Maple Cross, England

    20 mins on hold to @virginmedia I’m starting to see why I left this shit company now 🤬

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia That would imply that I had faith in your services & belief that you cared about your customers. I know from the past that this is not the case. I have already checked and this problem is supposed to be fixed by 3pm, it has been ongoing since 8am. It really is tedious and boring

  • michellenathan1 Michelle Nathan (@michellenathan1) reported from Shenley, England

    @virginmedia Looks like internet has gone down, please confirm

  • thekjulika Kristine Julika (@thekjulika) reported from Barnet, England

    The site says no known issues and the light is yellowish white as when normal. #virginmedia #virgininternet

  • ClaireBoyles 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘆𝗹𝗲𝘀, Success-Matters.com (@ClaireBoyles) reported from St Albans, England

    @virginmedia Looking at that link is useless it's not 4G or 3G I have a problem with, it's voice calls not data

  • uchiazoro adouble (@uchiazoro) reported from Brentford, England

    Virgin media if you don’t fix ur internet in the next hour I will run all the way to where ever u lot work and change ur name to media

  • Spongeym Steve Malcolm (@Spongeym) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia Hi, had problems with the internet today in SL9, been told by your support team to restart the router, Tay didn’t work so was told it would be resolved by Monday... sorry not good enough! I’m an IT engineer that needs the internet!!

  • TallulahB4 Tallulah B (@TallulahB4) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia It was for landline and broadband. After hanging on for 25 minutes I gave up and put the phone down. You are currently charging me £59 a month whereas Sky have offered me a package for £26 a month

  • Joefry81 Joe Fry (@Joefry81) reported from Watford, England

    @virginmedia we have had no internet service for well over a week and even after setting up the new hub 3.0 last night we yet again have no internet today 🤬 I am now going to get charged for going over on my mobile data allowance 🤬

  • Paula_ODonnell Paula (@Paula_ODonnell) reported

    @virginmedia Still having the same issue since I had it installed. Nothing is fixing it and I’m back to using mobile data in my home again. Can you check Service of the area PA1

  • iainrwallace Iain (@iainrwallace) reported

    @virginmedia It used to be online chat or talking to a real person on the phone. What happened? I really really really hate chatting to these stupid BOT's :(

  • russelllehman2 russell lehman (@russelllehman2) reported

    @virginmedia John, hopefully, a new email receipt is being sent within the next 24/48hrs which should detail the correct amount and my bill at the end of the month should be correct. Errors in charging for volt and a house move installation charge we’re on the bill.

  • tazy201 tarren shaw (@tazy201) reported

    @virginmedia @GMR2402 Service is shocking has nothing but issues for months and you find it’s ok to keep sending me in circles . My whole neighbourhood is hating in virgin and all slowly leaving . Having near on zero upload (0.30) is not acceptable

  • Phil_Donoghue1 Phil Donoghue (@Phil_Donoghue1) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia Shameful… latest update, we hope to resolve the issue by 4pm tomorrow! That’ll be over 24 hours down and you’ll still expect your money! Awesome service 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  • bobbychariot ⚫ Tony Clifton (@bobbychariot) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. Only ever been at one address for whole 15 years but when I was acutely ill the credit union down the road collected my disability benefits and paid the bills until 2019 when that service shut by government cuts - engineer was sent to collect kit from there...

  • Mr_XYY XYY (@Mr_XYY) reported

    Contacted @virginmedia on 4 Nov re Broadband & TiVo box faults, no one available till 8 Nov, engineer then unable to fix it, said it would be rewired in a day or so, 12 nov I phone them, no one available till 19 Nov! @Ofcom #unacceptable #AvoidVirginMedia 🤬

  • stuartmacey Stuart Macey (@stuartmacey) reported

    @virginmedia why did I ever sign up for your services. You failed to port a number over and then you customer service agent told me I had done something wrong. She then lied to me about sorting it out just to get me off the line and now my number has been disconnected from EE.

  • Carla_Ardis Dr Carla Ardis (@Carla_Ardis) reported

    @virginmedia Should I go through the whole story with someone else our will they have all the details and they'll be ready to solve the problem?
