    Absolutely rubbish customer service from @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV @VirginMediaCorp waiting for over 2 hours, first call the advisor hung up after I asked to speak to his manager and the second advisor CANNOT give me a reference to the call or let me speak to a manager

    @virginmedia I don’t doubt it will be fixed eventually but there have been significant issues here for months & I need more info than this. The message on your link hasn’t been updated since PRIOR to being told it was fixed. When reported this morning it was treated with no history.

    Nick Chainey 💙 (@NLFG) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia I've tried both of those. I was going to restart the router and see if that made any difference. Appreciate the help 👍🏼

    Laura Cook (@LauraVCook1980) reported from Hatfield, England

    @virginmedia disappointed after 10 years of being a loyal customer that I can’t pause my monthly payments for 11 weeks while I’m not at home and no one using the broadband or TV!

    Sid M (@smahes4) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia The reason given to us that you don’t want to put extra 10mtr cable to service 3 properties. That’s a shame on you and a classic lie that you say on your advert regarding coverage @richardbranson @Ofcom

  • Mustxkim
    Mustakim. (@Mustxkim) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia Wi-Fi is SO BAD. I’ve check service status online it says it’s fine but I hasn’t been working for 2 hours now. Wtf is you lot doing. It’s been disturbing for weeks now too.

  • EnriqueGuadiz

    @virginmedia WiFi is an absolute total **** of a service! Reliable WiFi With the hub 5 bullshit! Should be thrown out of the window! No WiFi /service in HP2!

    seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    Didn’t realised upgrading our @virginmedia internet would cripple my home office. Wireless @HP printer can’t find the network and I have to get new boosters for the other rooms in the house. So frustrating - I’ve wasted so much time trying to sort it all out. To no avail.

    @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.

  • 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

    @virginmedia ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SERVICE! I’ve worked with major computer and ISP’s over my time but by far Virgin Media is the worst! I pay £111 a month and not one person can help. Intermittent internet for a month but they say just wait another week it may be back on!

  • 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 […]

    @virginmedia I've given you the incident number. What's to look into apart from your appalling service. But I've DMd you so feel free to send me more platitudinous bullshit!

  • keithdavidjones

    @virginmedia hi my internet service has been down since this morning tried getting in touch but no joy

  • 2124Jim
    james mcgarry (@2124Jim) reported

    @virginmedia Outages do occur and that's understandable, what is beyond ridiculous is your customer service team. To tell people there's no outage showing when near enough a whole town is down is insulting.

    estevén (@superpaddiepads) reported

    @LessGrumpy @virginmedia Whenever I’ve had issues with Virgin it’s never been a UK call centre I’ve spoken to. Tend to avoid now but just left again after a couple of years of thankfully issue free broadband. Moved to PlusNet which is Openreach rebranded but far cheaper.

    03337331234 This is the only number on your website Its been off for more than a week What Virginmedia-esque dystopian crap customer support is this????

    Samet (@Samet_UK) reported

    @virginmedia The Wi-Fi hasn’t been working since 1 a.m. It says there’s an outage in the area, but I can’t reach customer service either. There still haven’t been any further updates. There’s no information about when it will be fixed or what’s going on.

    @TheParty1sOver @virginmedia Same here. I just left EE, but still on till 30th though. Trying to switch but other sites seem to be having tech errors?

    @_AnaCristina_ @virginmedia Jesus that’s bad. Normally they get back to you on WhatsApp within half hour at latest

  • __neerihs
    Reeni 🇯🇲 (@__neerihs) reported

    @virginmedia I have checked. There were outages and it’s now apparently fixed. Yet I still have no service. So I can’t watch tv, can’t use my tablet, my daughter can’t use her tablet and I can’t work next week. What fabulous service!
