  • GraemePuttock
    Graeme Puttock (@GraemePuttock) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia Hi John, thanks for getting back to me. The call was in regards to a problem with my broadband which luckily after an hour on the phone to a really helpful operator was discovered to be a known issue in the area that was being updated late on the system. 1/2

  • Barchetta66
    Helen Pinkers (@Barchetta66) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia So that’s it. We’re still no closer to solving this issue than we were when it went down at the beginning of the week. Absolutely dreadful service.

  • mistervickster
    Vignesh (@mistervickster) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia how do you have the worst customer service ? Will just have to book a technician to sort out issues with account login.

  • elmah69
    Elmarie Hahn💙 (@elmah69) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia someone on your 0800 number told us to ring back at 9pm, said she would be there till 10pm. Tried to call at 9 pm no one there. Disgusting customer service.

  • islingtonlloyd
    Lloyd Child (@islingtonlloyd) reported from Islington, England

    Nope, not just me. Hurry up & fix it @virginmedia , I want to watch the game in UHD

  • mariesnotcool
    Mariachiara (@mariesnotcool) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia we’ve had no service in EC1V London, since our Wi-Fi was installed last month. We’ve tried to call countless time and we keep being told about “area issues” that would be solved the day after but never do. This is just unacceptable behaviour!

  • goonerlgh
    Lawrence ****** 🇺🇦 (@goonerlgh) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Do you, or could you make a TV box remote for the elderly? Tiny buttons with tinier symbols instead of words, black buttons on black body.... Almost impossible for some older people to use. An OAP version with larger coloured buttons would be such a help!

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

    And it's down again. #virginmedia

  • andy_s_battle
    Andrew Battle (@andy_s_battle) reported from East Ham, England

    @virginmedia But cutting people off to enforce this is unethical, besides no previous communication has indicated this and the solution is not convenient with where they want to do this and no suggestion to reposition my hub

  • g_neale
    Geoff Neale (@g_neale) reported from Camden Town, England

    @premierinn no Free WiFi or Ultimate WiFi at Premier Inn Euston. Twitter has lots of other complaints of the same issue nationally… why I am asked to speak to Virgin Media, how hard can it be? Forget Network does not force the page to reload, what else can I do?

  • paulstevenlewis
    Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Mill Hill East, England

    @virginmedia So you cancel the service months if not years before the 4G replacement is a really extensive alternative, while increasing your prices and telling customers “sorry, but that’s tough”. I understand your team is just at the sharp end dealing with flack, but that’s really bad of VM

  • NoddyMaccy
    ✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia My phone is now over two weeks late, which isn’t an issue, I understand waiting for one to become available to send but to suggest I send this phone back and go without a phone until one eventually gets sent to me is just ridiculous. I’m not gonna pay my bills with no phone…

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

    @virginmedia No, I’m trying to find out the status of my complaint received by Virgin on 30 September. I’ve had zero communication or acknowledgment of it.

  • essojohn
    Johnny Allen 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧⚒WHU (@essojohn) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @BrianBr41198151 There service has become appalling on the phone today 98mins then they cut me off no resolution to the problem been with em over 25yrs Virgin Media's customer service is non existent think twice before you sign up.

  • drawing_daily
    Steven Kraan 🐀 (@drawing_daily) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia internet down second day in a row, when will it work again?

  • 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.

  • paulusthegrey
    Paul Simmonds (@paulusthegrey) reported from Borehamwood, England

    @virginmedia I think I may have an idea what’s happened to your service in #borehamwood It looks like a kerbside box has been totalled by a drunk driver.

  • JammieBun
    James Brown (@JammieBun) reported from Enfield, England

    @virginmedia Morning! All service seems to be down in N14 - can’t even access your service page to check what’s happening. Can you help?

  • DerrickSWB
    Derrick Brown (@DerrickSWB) reported from Lower Clapton, England

    @virginmedia The uplink is failing and it’s being denied access to the network as it’s poking and failing

  • Editmonster
    Stewart Daniels (@Editmonster) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @MoneySavingExp , good morning just wondering if having no service from @virginmedia for over 20 Days is that ground to cancel with no costs

    John Bird (@John_L_Bird) reported

    @virginmedia This is not an acceptable solution having to crowd around an ipad when customers have paid to watch it on their TVs. Seems it was the same last week for the league cup games? Given all the problems Virgin had with the red button in the past this is really poor.

  • ScottishGamer74
    Deano (@ScottishGamer74) reported

    @saltyy_savage @virginmedia Never had any issues with BT Fibre. Yes speeds weren't the greatest but never any issues. Missus wanted faster speed, we have has so many faulty hubs, and keep losing Internet. Hope you get it fixed bud.

  • anthodges
    Ant Hodges (@anthodges) reported

    @virginmedia No inconvenience - I’m asking if I can charge you if your engineer cancels on me and wastes my time as you had to remind me many time that I would have to pay you of if I cancelled - I think it’s only fair that I can if you cancel.

  • KathyMi25429227

    You say online service back at 7.08pm but on automated phone says 0.08pm....shocking @virginmedia

    @bmstewart2004 I cancelled my Virgin Media contract at £125, a week of my ignoring their calls I spoke with them and agreed a new contract at £40. Never let it roll over more than one year

    Great start to the season for @virginmedia with red button games not working properly. Oh, it's not the Premier League so it doesn't matter.
