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now common, there’s little communication from @virginmedia on actual status, even the service status page is usually out of date and the call centre staff admitted to me they don’t know what’s going on.

    @virginmedia Yes at £37 when as a new customer I could get it for £25. I am happy to stick at the £32 but you are not willing to match.

    @virginmedia “Have you checked for any issues in your area” No I have not checked that link. It is intermittent; one minute it is useable and next the internet service is missing; it is regular occurrence, happens almost daily!?

    Virgin media down all over it seems… need #Internet what’s wrong with you @virginmedia

    @virginmedia @dpjohnston10 Complaints procedure is non existent. If you phone, promised call back never happens, webform complaint doesn’t work and hasn’t since at least 28/09. Sent letter 3 wks ago - no response, despite website saying response within 48 hours. Ombudsman here we come.

    @virginmedia ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SERVICE! I’ve worked with major computer and ISP’s over my time but by far Virgin Media is the worst! I pay £111 a month and not one person can help. Intermittent internet for a month but they say just wait another week it may be back on!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • jtdavies
    John T Davies 💙🇺🇦💛 (@jtdavies) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia We had issues last month, a nice engineer came (Mohamed) and said it was a local problem. I reported it on the phone again on Tuesday (Aqeelah), she said there are local problems (again). I fed up wit this, it’s been a week of impossible internet, day and night!

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

    @SilentMugger @virginmedia Richard. don't bother. I've had various Internet providers and virgin is the worst. I've been without Internet for 23 hours and counting now and still can't get hold of anyone to help. I can't do my job and they appear to have issues all over the UK.

  • Rebeccadundon1

    Hey @virginmedia I've been on hold for 20 minutes and I'm losing the will to live. Need help with WiFi password

  • 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.

  • Gosbo68
    Grant Osborn (@Gosbo68) reported from Northaw and Cuffley, England

    @virginmedia Wi-Fi still down.

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

    @virginmedia Customer Service is shocking. It’s now almost 6 hours since I asked on WhatsApp for email address to be corrected and I’m still waiting for a response.

    Michael Butler (@Michael73942063) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

    @virginmedia @LutzSchueler please help me here i am an O2 monthly paying customer , I’ve had a virgin email address for over 23 years and they just closed it no notice , or warnings and your team hides behind a policy that didn’t exist when i first got my virgin email address

  • 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.

  • spandya1
    Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Croxley Green, England

    @virginmedia An engineer came today. Issue resolved. If you remember I told you that it was highly probable that work being performed at a cabinet on our street may have resulted in our issue. I also told your telephone support team. That’s exactly what had happened. Appalling 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.

  • seanhannam
    seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @MikeCoxCowes @virginmedia @HP What hope is there for the smart home when even a wireless printer needs reconfiguring after a simple wi-fi network change?

  • 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.

    I’ve had more issues with @toobbroadband in 3 months, than I had with @virginmedia in 5 years. 🙃 Regretting the move 😭

  • whisperwoIf
    harley ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ (@whisperwoIf) reported

    @housecatkai @virginmedia i have mixed opinions on them, like they've provided the fastest internet speeds i've had out of other ISPs we've been with (sky, BT and talktalk) but our services always go down at least once a month and it's infuritating 😭😭

  • MrMufc77
    ABDUL (@MrMufc77) reported

    @virginmedia yes there has been a outage for over a week now they fix the problem then it goes off again after a few hours 😡

  • CityVicks
    Vicky (@CityVicks) reported

    @virginmedia My point was more that you’d know better than me, but whatever. No issues in my area are showing.

  • howdo01
    Jonathan H (@howdo01) reported

    @virginmedia What with the losing channels right left and center, pass few months seen about 5-6 channels, latest one That's TV, price up, channels down, what are you replacing them with, Rewind would be a good one to start with.

    I've been a virgin media customer for a couple of days and already had terrible customer service lol

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Yep Virgin Media and the TV licence people - they are awful.

  • UglyGeezer
    Lee Rand 🍄 (@UglyGeezer) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @virginmedia I lost my partner of 28 years. Devastating in all aspects of my life. I rang Virgin to try and end contract, explained my partner was dead and I couldn't afford the service any longer. They spent most of the call trying to get me to upgrade to more services. I will never forget

  • Lifeline04India
    MR COOL (@Lifeline04India) reported

    @virginmedia Team I am waiting for 5 days it’s still the same. Can u help me to fix the issue? I don’t know if it’s connected to router.

  • superpaddiepads
    estevén (@superpaddiepads) reported

    @LessGrumpy @virginmedia Exactly that. The quality of the broadband has never been an issue but the customer service is almost non existent. But when you base that offshore it does tend to be the case. Very polite but utterly useless.
