  • walshChanny Channy (@walshChanny) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia after changing to the cheapest package I received the biggest bill ever for international calls. Trying to resolve the problem is impossible. Please explain how to do it!

  • MilesMalaya Milesfiles (@MilesMalaya) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia The connection has been terribly weak the past 2 weeks. I keep getting kicked out of video calls. Please could you fix, I need to work.

  • Alarms_Are_Us Alarms Are Us Ltd. (@Alarms_Are_Us) reported from Bushey Heath, England

    Sad that we had to leave, go to @SkyUK = worse. clearly focused on sales and NOT Service. All the engineers from @virginmedia & @SkyUK were really nice people, but did not seem too technically skilled passed - replacing router, swirling in/off etc. Today’s guy knew his stuff

  • damawa42 Daniel W (@damawa42) reported from Camden Town, England

    @lornajane2 @virginmedia Yeah, clearly something wrong specifically with my Virgin kit, or something hyperlocal (cabinet/wiring)... But they refused to investigate my query as there was an outstanding issue until May 5th, and since then disgracefully haven't bothered responding. So can't get a diagnosis.

  • Julia___Valerie Julia Valerie (@Julia___Valerie) reported from Kensington, England

    @dazzleeds @virginmedia Have exactly the same experience with @virginmedia - customer service does not exist but the charges are taken and increased without fail. For three weeks have been trying to get in touch and get some support with zero result argh 😖🤯😭😭😭😭

  • AndyM_N3 Andy M (@AndyM_N3) reported from Barnet, England

    Virgin Media is useless. Awful signal, worse customer service. Thanks for nothing.

  • MoSyed110 MO SYED (@MoSyed110) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    Why is @virginmedia so bad!!!!

  • encipi nyatacinta (@encipi) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia PLEASE FIX THE CONNECTION

  • sarahlockett Sarah Lockett (@sarahlockett) reported from Camden Town, England

    @VirginMember @virginmedia @AmazonPrime No problem. I can’t figure out how to do it on the website. Help please!

  • digs9292 JBailey (@digs9292) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

    @virginmedia @grimegran Grime Gran obviously using somebody else’s WiFi because your WiFi is crap. Biggest load of shit going, you guys.

  • edmoses ed moses (@edmoses) reported from Harefield, England

    @Ian_H_007 @virginmedia I pay for 500Mb - currently getting 86Mb. I can just about live with that. Being on hold during Skype/Teams/Zoom calls is unacceptable. The boys are having problems gaming and our video downloads on Sky keep failing - not great service.

  • JanineAdelman Curly O's (@JanineAdelman) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia We have ongoing service fault making our viewing impossible. It cannot be rectified as engineers cannot work. Yet you still increase our bill by over £25!! Tried to phone but end up being cut off, no online chat working. Very frustrated.Please advise what can we do.

  • robmesure 🅡🅞🅑 🅜🅔🅢🅤🅡🅔 (@robmesure) reported from Brentford, England

    @lucitelu @virginmedia Been getting on very well since I changed to Vodafone from awful, awful Pl*snet.

  • nooriiiy Noor (@nooriiiy) reported from Paddington, England

    Can @virginmedia WiFi please fix up!! Gave me a right scare

  • pussinpjs1 linda holmes (@pussinpjs1) reported from London, England

    No access to the Internet @virginmedia anyone else having problems

  • Alarms_Are_Us Alarms Are Us Ltd. (@Alarms_Are_Us) reported from Bushey Heath, England

    Also @SkyUK and @virginmedia the engineer that solved the problem today is what customer service looks like - Gavin Wilson from @virginmedia get him to train your teams. We had at least 8 engineers over past 15 months between your services and this guy sorted it in 1 visit! 5*

  • NanjibaM Nanjiba (@NanjibaM) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia hi, why did I receive this text message: Important update: so we can roll out network improvements, we're sending you a new SIM. Please follow the steps to swap it as soon as it arrives in 7-10 working days. I don't need a new one. Thanks.

  • damawa42 Daniel W (@damawa42) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia But your SMS team either a) never respond or b) refuse to help me specifically because they say there are outstanding issues. So, through a combination of a) and b), you never look at my issue. Because there's either always a wider issue, OR you ignore me. Utterly unhelpful.

  • OptimiseOrDie Craig Sullivan (@OptimiseOrDie) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s back now but was out for about 36 hours in this area. Service kept dropping (I know, I checked the router logs). Hope you keep it running!

  • NickyLothian Nicky Lothian (@NickyLothian) reported

    @virginmedia I am more annoyed at the lack of communication than the service going down, appreciating that faults can happen. Can I suggest you ask the BBC to post a one liner that will show up in the news feed and online so people don’t have to jump through hoops to see there’s an outage.

  • SharneyDavies Sharney Davies (@SharneyDavies) reported

    @virginmedia @desosulli Yes! I had the same problem. Very rude!

  • SharonFindlay13 Sharon Findlay (@SharonFindlay13) reported

    @EileenR91201322 @Seons_Le @virginmedia Yes but it’s electronics they sometimes get a fault why do people think vm have super powers and that their service and equipment are immune from a fault people need to behave also I am disabled and I’m coping

  • allie_vance Allison Vance (@allie_vance) reported

    @virginmedia Service off in DA7

  • dariquo1 Dario (@dariquo1) reported

    I assume that my bill will automatically be adjusted because of this outage, #virginmedia

  • kezaleigh Kerry-Leigh Hough (@kezaleigh) reported

    @virginmedia I’m in Liverpool, tv down & internet not working properly any idea of how long it will take to get back up & running? Been like this since about 11am

  • d_a_hall1 David Alexander Hall (@d_a_hall1) reported

    @virginmedia @9Naughtyboi6 It doesn't work. Surpriingly though all the parts of your website that sell Tv./Phone/Mobile and Broadband pacakages seem to be working fine. How convenient.

  • ishaaq43989070 ishaaq (@ishaaq43989070) reported

  • EllieH1808 Ellie Hughes (@EllieH1808) reported
