  • TechZilla_ Tech Zilla (@TechZilla_) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia When I checked other sites like down detector it shows Virgin broadband is down all over london so how come you don’t know that?

  • hiaw61 Robert Frame (@hiaw61) reported from Hatfield, England

    @virginmedia I have been complaint for the last 12 months and once again no action is it really that difficult to ask an engineer to fix your defective product beyond belief

  • hiaw61 Robert Frame (@hiaw61) reported from Hatfield, England

    @virginmedia absolute rubbish tried calling a get cut off raised a complaint and can’t even speak to some one £100 per month for crap service

  • TechZilla_ Tech Zilla (@TechZilla_) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia Well your customers report issues on download detector because you guys are so difficult to reach!

  • Pensar_Mark Mark Williams (@Pensar_Mark) reported from Berkhamsted, England

    @virginmedia Still no reply from @virginmedia over 8 hours after they promised they would call. Was told I would be called back at 12:00. It’s now 20:15. They seem to be oblivious to the very notion of customer service. #completefail

  • lastminutepete Peter McLoughlin (@lastminutepete) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia I did all that yesterday. On the laptop that recorded a speed of 1.28mbps, when I put the Ethernet cable in, it was 254.99mbps. On the Apple TV, it went from 1.06 to 651. It’s not just these devices, these are the worst examples

  • lastminutepete Peter McLoughlin (@lastminutepete) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia I’m on M600 Fibre Broadband. On my account it says ‘our broadband doesn’t get quicker than this. You’re on our top tier broadband!’ If I got a Hub 4 and 1gb broadband, would that guarantee a stronger and faster WiFi network?

  • Anthony_Lonres Anthony Payne (@Anthony_Lonres) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Your online status reports no faults but as I said in the thread, I have called your support centre at least 10 times & they confirm there is a fault which has been the case since the 2nd of March. I am assured, every time I call, that it will be fixed within 7 days. It never is

  • Anthony_Lonres Anthony Payne (@Anthony_Lonres) reported from Kensington, England

    To all my friends who recommended @virginmedia please don’t contact me again. They are without doubt the worst company I have had the misfortune of being a customer to. If you’re considering them. Don’t.

  • Pensar_Mark Mark Williams (@Pensar_Mark) reported from Berkhamsted, England

    @virginmedia Already done that 4 times and got nowhere. I need someone who can help to actually call back as promised.

  • jim_dawes James Dawes (@jim_dawes) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia no broadband, WiFi or TV services in the SE7 area until 5pm today is completely unacceptable for people working from home. Engineering faults should not be happening during the day. £8 compensation is absolute peanuts. Very poor indeed.

  • Morvaridp Morvarid (@Morvaridp) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia will someone actually be able to help us or will we get the same service we’ve been getting from various people we’ve been talking to? I don’t know how else to escalate this anymore!!! It’s taken so much of our time and added stress ...

  • Sheetal_15 Sheetal (@Sheetal_15) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia any chance you could actually have an engineer call the time they said they would? Just moved to a new home and your service has been atrocious so far.

  • Morvaridp Morvarid (@Morvaridp) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia We signed a new contract and we were meant to have internet connection by Monday/Tuesday. We still don’t! We called then on Wednesday and they said they call back. They never did. We called yesterday. They said they’ll look into it. Nothing yet!!

  • ImaginaryCard MOMO (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia How's that gonna fix my problem? Twice in 2 weeks I've had no service. Can I cancel my contract if I'm in the 1st month?

  • craigr98_2016 Craig R 🇹🇩🌹 (@craigr98_2016) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia I’m on a sim only deal with you recently taken it out, but looks like I have under estimated how much data I need is it possible to switch to a higher data plan? And then if not needed move back down?

  • lastminutepete Peter McLoughlin (@lastminutepete) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done all that and it said the signal was weak. Pressed the button to optimise the WiFi or router or whatever it is and that didn’t work. Is it not the job of the router to emit a strong WiFi signal? All the devices trying to connect are modern and up to date.

  • Purp_Amethyst Maya (@Purp_Amethyst) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia guys my internet is not working ?

  • faysasilva Elizabeth Silva (@faysasilva) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia I have not internet in my flat in EC1V9ET since Monday. No explanation no comment and after calling the Customer Service team every day for an update today I was told that I should not be working from home if I’m not a business.! So that’s just 👍 great. That’s why 1

  • lastminutepete Peter McLoughlin (@lastminutepete) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia Good morning. Yes it’s an ongoing problem that isn’t going to go away on its own, it needs resolving please. I see that there is now a Hub 4 available, does that emit a stronger WiFi signal? And what about Booster Pods? I don’t live it a mansion, it’s just a normal 3 bed semi.

  • lizziespeller Elizabeth Speller (@lizziespeller) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    @pbw1000 @virginmedia Same problem here, same timing, also in CB4. Told it was an area problem. But now told it’s fixed so not their problem so must be ours. Next call told it might be their problem! Daughter is NHS Dr trying to work online @virginmedia

  • puckingfricks Cantankerous Tom (@puckingfricks) reported

    @virginmedia @richardbranson 1 hour 47 minutes on the phone and no answer but the line was disconnected!! This is such a joke of a service, im stunned you are still in business the way you treat people. Virgin Media - service shortfall specialists! @bt_uk want another customer?

  • Stuart47771030 shaker until I die and even after that (@Stuart47771030) reported

    @HltRichardson @virginmedia Leave them, it was the best thing that I ever did. Terrible coverage and terrible customer service, along with a rip off price!

  • chimpytwit chimpytwit (@chimpytwit) reported

    @virginmedia The problem continues throughout everyday and the helpdesk number tells me you’re busy and I might want to call back, so now no contact for VM is available to resolve a problem with a service that cost me £59 per month, please respond to my request for your help

  • kitty_chan8 Kitster (@kitty_chan8) reported

    @virginmedia I called 3 times with 30-40mins wait times, to try and cancel my bb. I got through to the call handler, then he transferred me to the end of contracts department but the call dropped. This is ridiculous!!!

  • MsRebeccaChance RebeccaChance (@MsRebeccaChance) reported

    @virginmedia No, you could have told Chantelle Buckingham from the resolution dept to ring me when I told you that the number she gave me was never answered. Now I have the tweets you sent me, refusing to do that and lying - they are part of the reason I am requesting extensive compensation.

  • Holzm93 Hollie Manchester (@Holzm93) reported

    @virginmedia never received such bad customer service. Is anyone actually able to help me ?

  • NaomiLe57011799 Naomi Lee (@NaomiLe57011799) reported

    @virginmedia I was just cut off AGAIN after being on hold for an hour. I'm fuming. I literally have no way to cancel my service. I am actually steaming at the ears

  • stockford_helen Helen Stockford (@stockford_helen) reported

    @virginmedia I want to speak to someone about leaving but you're not manning phones, no chat and your website sends me in circles and all I want to do is cry. Can't even raise a complaint. Shocking!

  • Scottwest198801 Scott west (@Scottwest198801) reported

    @virginmedia would you be able to arrange for a call back as the WiFi has been awful since the recent update and for the money that is paid each month it is not good enough need this rectifying ASAP.
