    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.

    @virginmedia Its a fault in the area, I have been given a fix time of 9am on the 19th for the landline and broadband, now my tv has gone down as well

    @virginmedia any idea why services are down across the board in WD23 postcode area?

    Absolutely rubbish customer service from @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV @VirginMediaCorp waiting for over 2 hours, first call the advisor hung up after I asked to speak to his manager and the second advisor CANNOT give me a reference to the call or let me speak to a manager

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

    @virginmedia I’m afraid not. I did ask to speak to a supervisor/manager and they said they would submit this request. My question is: is there actually a fault or is this an ongoing issue? It seems to be the latter, tbh.

    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.

  • 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

    @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/

  • 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 […]

    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.

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • Bhavinmaru2020

    @virginmedia I am loosing signal intermittently. Not great!

  • seanhannam
    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.

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

    @SilentMugger @virginmedia Yes I'm shocked too, didn't think it would be this long & they best fix it as I can't work and I'm using all my mobile data to try and contact them. Really bad service.

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

    @virginmedia I have done, but there is nowhere to report a total outage, despite the message, and no estimated time. I have no landline or broadband, and haven't for 2 days

  • UrbanEdgeCapit1
    Urban Edge Capital (@UrbanEdgeCapit1) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia Can you please fix the broadband in the NW9 0TE area. Its been 5 days already. 😪

  • U2Gorilla

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

    @virginmedia @Joshhhhh____ What about where it’s not total but bad enough you can’t actually do any work on it?

  • Lincsforest
    Mark Whelan (@Lincsforest) reported

    @virginmedia your installation of my new broadband is turning into a mockery of a sham! No communication, no professionalism, a complete lack of customer care! A VERY UNSATISFACTORY WAY TO CONDUCT BUSINESS! Your chatbot is also incompetent! @Ofcom #poorcustomerservice

  • _MeJAdams
    Joseph Adams (@_MeJAdams) reported

    @virginmedia - raise a complaint and try to call you guys (as per your email) but nobody will let me speak to you. Also I love how you claim to have tried to contact me 10 mins before the complaint was raised. Time travel is real, apparently

  • shauny67
    Shaun (@shauny67) reported

    @virginmedia @kimtaylor18 In 2026 I cannot understand why people want to pay for a TV service that you can subscribe to yourself. I have Virgin 1Gb then I subscribe to Netflix Amazon Prime & Disney, when it's F1 season I subscribe to Sky sports but I can cancel when I want at no extra charge

    @virginmedia Now it’s 3 and a half hours without a proper response on the DM thread, anyone there online who can help? Thanks

    @virginmedia Dear Virgin I have no WiFi. Please help. I thought full fibre would put an end to a rubbish WiFi I also cannot make your app accept my account reference number or area reference number

    🐻 Helen Standen 🐻 (@SkyTedTravels) reported

    .@virginmedia what's going on with smart TV connection to router, WiFi or wired not working for days.... paying for subscription we can't use?

    @virginmedia Appt booked for between 8 and 12 today, phoned you at 12, took 25 minutes to speak to someone, was told engineer would call me with a time within the hour, still heard nothing. Shambolic customer service.
