    @virginmedia sort out the wifi in AL4. Been down two days now joke of a provider

  • PaulswainDJ
    Paul Swain (@PaulswainDJ) reported from Kings Langley, England

    @virginmedia This is boring. I’ll reach out to third parties to resolve my account issue.

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

  • StephenCavinder
    Steve Cavinder (@StephenCavinder) reported from Bricket Wood, England

    @virginmedia do you think it’s acceptable for a customer to be waiting for more than 20 minutes (and still waiting) for one of your agents to answer the phone? #justasking

  • thefitebegins
    jrd1982 (@thefitebegins) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia Yet again Virgin Media is down and yes I have tried the checker. Why are services with VM constantly going down across the UK?

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

    @virginmedia Yes, it’s showing issues but we are still being treated like this is a new issue with no history. 😩

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

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

  • 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??

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

    @virginmedia Of course I have. My email is correct on online account. I get email bills correctly. But my complaint file has an extra character to email address and so I’ve never received acknowledgment of my complaint.

  • PaulswainDJ
    Paul Swain (@PaulswainDJ) reported from Kings Langley, England

    @virginmedia We have liftoff! Just spoke with a member of your team on the phone. Her name was Francis. She was fantastic! Sorted the problem out and applied a credit to my account. Buy her a drink now 🍷

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

    @virginmedia Yep, not good enough. What’s the issue? Why does it keep happening and what are you doing about it? And how are you compensating customers?

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia any chance of a stable service?!?

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Thanks, John. No they didn’t confirm. All they said was that the issue *might* be fixed by August 2nd, which as you can imagine is far from ideal. Meanwhile, I’m also being charged a full month despite not having a reliable connection for over a week.

  • silvergoatish
    The waving mechanical roadgoat™ (@silvergoatish) reported from Camden, England

    @virginmedia Duly noted. I'm not likely to be a customer for much longer though, with your general level of service and pricing.

  • 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.

  • 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!!!

  • 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/

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

    Asif Rana (@HounslowParking) reported

    @bt_uk I'd like to know why your business broadband so called service, can only compound its utter uselessness with skyscraper level brain numbing stupidity? I thought @vmbusiness was utterly indescribably ****, until you came along. You literally make them look like geniuses.

  • Dgjbear1

    @virginmedia AVOID AT ALL COSTS - Absolutely awful customer service. Schedule appointments and never turn up. We are now on our 5th rescheduled appointment in 5 days and no expected timeframe for a resolution. Total loss of service 11 days and counting…
