    @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

  • magma62
    mara penzo (@magma62) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia I know where to check, thanks! My problem still persist! It's Friday night and I have no Internet?! Why? They have been carrying out works for weeks now. I think I need a compensation. Why am I paying money for no service?

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

    @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.

  • paulstevenlewis
    Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Mill Hill East, England

    @virginmedia So you cancel the service months if not years before the 4G replacement is a really extensive alternative, while increasing your prices and telling customers “sorry, but that’s tough”. I understand your team is just at the sharp end dealing with flack, but that’s really bad of VM

  • MSiewniak
    Michal Siewniak (@MSiewniak) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

    Dear @virginmedia & @VirginMediaCC A day to forget, wasn’t it? All day problems with my internet connections. Thousands of people affected. In my case, I needed the internet to work and it seems like that the issue was resolved this afternoon. How can I claim compensation?

  • 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

    @virginmedia Yes there were, we received a text at 2am to say it was (finally) fixed but it isn’t & we are now expected to go through the entire reporting/testing the router process again. No engineer for days.This is NOT a router issue, it’s affecting many homes. #bangsheadonwall

  • 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!!!

  • seanhannam
    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.

  • PcPresenter
    PCPresenter (@PcPresenter) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia Any chance you can DM me about an issue? Trying to find an avenue to contact you through the website is shockingly ****. What's the point of having an option to contact when it's impossible to find it??

  • ThomasPirouet
    Thomas Pirouet (@ThomasPirouet) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia is everything ok with the network today? Router has been flashing red on and off all morning, really intermittent connection however nothing shown on the service checker. Done the usual unplugging of the router, checked cables etc however still flashing red, then…

  • MarkGRyan
    Mark Ryan (@MarkGRyan) reported from Ealing, England

    Once again @virginmedia let us down with internet in W13 area ... not a good service at all

  • 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 […]

    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.

  • yessibelloperez
    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.

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

    @virginmedia Since w/c 22Aug my wife and I continuously keep checking the service status which gets updated and deadline pushed back. Nobody with virgin has broadband or TV for over 3 weeks now without explanation or a decent update

  • smahes4
    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

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

    Requested to cancel my contract and told my account doesn’t exist anyway. Thank you Virgin Media.

  • 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

  • SMillbery
    Spencer Millbery (@SMillbery) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia Yes, I’ve done all these. Very frustrating as I only had a new super hub and cabling to house installed 2 weeks ago. Never had such intermittent service in 20 years of using virgin.

    Paul Matthews (@bergy_bit) reported

    My 83 year old dad is a bit senile. He signed up to @virginmedia without knowing what it was. We were aghast at the £160 monthly subscription he’ll mostly never use. We cancelled it and moved to a £30 EE one. Virgin have now sent him a termination bill for £1,500 @MoneySavingExp

    @virginmedia first day of the football season and red button not working…..brilliant I hope I’m going to get some kind of refund?

  • R4g3Kw1t
    Andy Owen (@R4g3Kw1t) reported

    So first match day of the new season and @virginmedia appears to be broken. No wifi to speak of...

  • Johnsonio
    Magic A-J (@Johnsonio) reported

    @virginmedia wasted my time talking to your customer services. My contract is up, you’re offering me same package for £27pm online and asked customer service for a better deal and they offer me £43pm! Guess I’ll go elsewhere then

  • utarg
    Mike Cook (@utarg) reported

    @virginmedia @SkySports explain why I am paying for red button service to watch matches and the service is not working....

    So had a request from what was supposed to be your help care centre - but they are a scam!! @virginmedia

  • redphillll
    Abs (@redphillll) reported

    @virginmedia can you please advise why I have not had my complaint resolved within the 28 days? It has now been over a week since it should have been resolved. You advised that I would receive a call back this week and I haven’t. The way this has been handled is unacceptable.

    @Bebs1000 @vodafone Left them a long time ago! Shocking company with customer service equal to that of Virgin Media 🙄
