    And it's down again. #virginmedia

    Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia @mundaytom Not true. No response to complaint letter sent August and when we’ve rung “manager will call you in 3-5 days”. Been told that 3 times. Not one callback. Shambles.

  • jtdavies
    John T Davies 💙🇺🇦💛 (@jtdavies) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia We had issues last month, a nice engineer came (Mohamed) and said it was a local problem. I reported it on the phone again on Tuesday (Aqeelah), she said there are local problems (again). I fed up wit this, it’s been a week of impossible internet, day and night!

  • david_renty
    David Renton (@david_renty) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia I'd just like to cancel! Nothing personal! But stumbling blocks are being put up and it is tiresome.

  • mmpa4
    Mansukh (@mmpa4) reported from Watford, England

    @virginmedia Been a long term customer of Virginmedia and recently renewed contract along with O2 mobile but customer services has gone downhill. Having issues with Wi-Fi,phoned again today and was told technical support will call me by 1:30pm, but no one has bothered.

    @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.

  • 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!!!

  • Andrew007Uk
    Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for trying. Three Exec Dept people in the last 10 days promised to call me back after initial calls - none have. I have put it all in an e-mail against what I believe is my reference number. I want the mobile internet service you've arranged to work.

    @Charlie_A_Gee @virginmedia They don’t give a damn, they’re virtually a monopoly, Ditch them and go to sky.

    seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia Is this how you treat your ‘priority customers?’ During a cost of living crisis, we have chosen to stay with you, yet you can’t pull your finger out to look after your customers. I work from home but can’t fully use the service I’m paying for due to your incompetence.

  • spandya1
    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.

  • angelstorm13
    Ella A Cutler (@angelstorm13) reported from Hatfield, England

    Virgin WiFi is up and down all the time, but now it's really down and not working. Can't even turn on my Alexa smart lights so stuck in the dark and soon landlines will be WiFi so that won't work either. @virginmedia #noservice

  • 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.

  • Fatty_Koo91
    Bhaven Dusara (@Fatty_Koo91) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    How can it be called Virgin Media when it goes down so much??? #VirginMediaDown

  • 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

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

    @SilentMugger @virginmedia It's been over 24 hours now and I've now been told it will be 10am tomorrow. I'm in North London, not in the wilderness. Its shocking that there's no Internet in the city. Maybe there service is getting worse.

  • MarchetF
    Francesco Marchet (@MarchetF) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia how do I get in contact with you? My appointments have been cancelled twice now. Such a poor service!

  • Gosbo68
    Grant Osborn (@Gosbo68) reported from Northaw and Cuffley, England

    @virginmedia Wi-Fi still down.

  • gemmak500
    ᒍᗩᑎE (@gemmak500) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia There is no link. No one appears to know what’s going on and there is no ownership or continuity of help. As the paying customer we are supposed to just wait, lose business and accept the situation.

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

    @virginmedia Finally sent letter on 28 September and on checking my account realised you’ve got wrong email address attached to complaint file. Funnily enough you have correct email address for sending bills. 3/

    Dr Elaine Rust (@elainerust) reported

    @virginmedia despite your £28 million fine for preventing the switching process, I find you are doing this to me. So much for resolving the issues and reviewing your processes. You’ve cancelled my request TWICE. This has to stop. @Ofcom

  • StiffNips2
    Simone-Lee Deal (@StiffNips2) reported

    @ChrisCorney1 Had that with my 91 yr old mum, she was charged 2x the going rate by Virgin, had dementia and obvs couldn't remember what her password was, so Virgin wouldn't let her cancel. I got there in the end, but @virginmedia are bastards

  • Mr_ITellYah
    JFT97 (@Mr_ITellYah) reported

    Fk me this #virgin360 box is horrendous. Why the fk did @virginmedia change from the Tivo box that was perfect. I hatr this 360 box, it’s sooooo ****!!!!! 🤬

  • RadarHits
    Radar 🚨 (@RadarHits) reported

    🚨 JUST IN: Ofcom fines Virgin Media a record £28m for deliberately mishandling millions of customer calls and preventing contract cancellations between 2022 and 2024 through tactics including call-dropping and unnecessary transfers.

  • EpicureanCat
    Epicurean Cat (@EpicureanCat) reported

    @premnsikka I had this exact experience with Virgin media, including failure to cancel a direct debit, two payments taken after cancellation, then a complete runaround through call centres with less than basic English spoken in an attempt to get a refund. I would never use @virginmedia.

  • Avat_it
    Mystic Falls (@Avat_it) reported

    Virgin Media. Why is my wifi not working again 3rd time in three weeks

  • S_Fleary1

    I have literally just left @virginmedia because of their poor service, constant internet outages and high bills. Let me know if we can claim compensation.

    Gothguy (@GothGuyGamer) reported

    @botbusta999 @virginmedia @EE when you join EE for their "internet", you'll be complaining you're being scammed, fact is aside from Virgin, noone can come close to the speeds they provide. Dont get me wrong, im not praising Virgin, their customer service is AIDS

    @virginmedia @BonesE78 Im also pleased that VM will be held to account finally our BB is terrible were about to report to the ombudsman as VM wont realease us from the contract without a Early disconnection fee yet even they say how bad it is .. go figure.
