    @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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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.

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

    @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.

  • Johnboy82903002
    John carroll (@Johnboy82903002) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia Done that, and still doesn't work

  • gashead
    Alistair 🏴‍☠️ Burns (@gashead) reported from Hatfield, England

    Used to tell my colleagues on @virginmedia to switch to @BT to overcome reliability issues. Moved house and little choice to pick Virgin. No internet or TV for 7 days, fix due by 1pm today. Queried at 1.30pm and 6.30pm, assured it would be today, told to relax. Frankie says BS.

  • 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.

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

    @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.

  • spandya1
    Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Watford District, England

    Called @virginmedia , now a technician booked. Outages are now common, there’s little communication from @virginmedia on actual status, even the service status page is usually out of date and the call centre staff admitted to me they don’t know what’s going on.

  • Stefan_baisden
    Baisden 📸🎥 (@Stefan_baisden) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedialife @virginmedia The worst service from any company I have ever used. I would like to be removed from your business accounts.

    Nataliya Klymko 🇺🇦🇬🇧 (@KlymkoNataliya) reported from Southall, England

    @virginmedia can you confirm if there's an outage in my area (area code 21)?

  • yessibelloperez
    Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Last time, our wifi was down for over a week. I spoke to an agent on the phone who was utterly useless. You never offer any solutions. I’m starting to think that the only way for you to take any action is if I cancel my DD.

  • spandya1
    Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Watford District, England

    @virginmedia broadband is up and down again, today in WD17. Are you continuing to experience general service issues ?

  • 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

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

    Yet again dispicable lack of customer service from #virginmedia for the 7+ hr outage. Not even one tweet. Your customer service dept needs sacking! How can you run a company like this and charge us so much! @virginmedia #virginmediadown

  • Griffo2018
    RICHARD GRIFFITHS (@Griffo2018) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia Now I am told they will send me a new hub as they do think I have problems T the house . That’s why VM booked a engineer it was not me who did it . Time will tell if the goal post moves again today

    John M Hunt (@Johnmhunt) reported

    @virginmedia your V360 upgrade system is broken. It took me 3 days of chat to arrange my upgrade and I’ve ordered it for my dad and he’s not received the remotes despite ordering on 2 May. I can’t face the pain of going through a chat and details authorisation again.

    @virginmedia Literally switched to sky today as your cs team are crap.

    @cmairsy @virginmedia Zen for internet - rock solid and great customer service, not that you’ll need it. But after ditching Virgin we went down the freeview route, I’m afraid.

  • cmairsy
    💜🐝 (@cmairsy) reported

    @Marie_0612 @virginmedia Nope absolutely didn’t bother trying to keep me as a customer even though I’ve been with them for years. Got some good offers from others online so their loss! Shame but I guess it’s modern times no customer care but glad you got some!

  • GrantStewart2
    Grant Stewart (@GrantStewart2) reported

    @virginmedia Tv still down after 24 hours and no update from VM. Awful service from a company that states putting customers first. Shocking service

  • EB51_
    Elias (@EB51_) reported

    Tell me why @virginmedia I’ve tried to set up broadband with yourselves but you’ve cancelled without telling me, I’m under the assumption that Monday 18th May that an engineer will be here to connect me up, However, after contact your customer service they have repeatedly…

  • ChrisPerez75
    Chris Perez (@ChrisPerez75) reported

    @virginmedia There are still issues with my TV. The BBC channel 101 is inactive & has a black screen. Why is this still the case? What are you doing to rectify this & how long will it take?

  • Bella_Ciao_Free
    Bella Ciao (@Bella_Ciao_Free) reported

    @virginmedia Im in NG17 all my channels have returned after yesterday's issues but ITV1HD hasn't... Ironically ITV1+1 works but no actual ITV1.

  • SteveJusta
    Steve Justa (@SteveJusta) reported

    @virginmedia @bisho32287 How much of a refund are we all getting @virginmedia ? I just knew when the fix time estimate said 5:05 that it wouldn't be - why not just give the real estimate instead of this nonsense?!

  • darreng3007
    Darren Green (@darreng3007) reported

    @virginmedia Had a new box delivered and installed today, since installation all channels are unavailable with code 100:70 being shown on screen. Been waiting for a response since 2:15pm and still no contact from either the quoted phone number or web messaging system, very poor service.
