    Just spent 40 minutes being messed around with from @virginmedia to be then hung up on. Your customer service is atrocious!!!

  • skearney7 Stuart Kearney (@skearney7) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Not really. I have made arrangements to bring my account up to date and close it as I am a responsible person. However as a result of the U Switch service not working. I have paid you £150 extra for a service that I have not used. So from my point of view I am very frustrated

  • pilot_paul Pilot_Paul (@pilot_paul) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia @joelycollinsx Hilarious. You get a link after ringing the number but the website is down

  • TropicKarenB Total Tropic Karen 🌴 (@TropicKarenB) reported from Newbury, England

    @virginmedia No broadband service in RG14 and your service status checker isn't working. Is there a know issue? #virginmedia

  • thebiggayreview The Big Gay Review (@thebiggayreview) reported from Basingstoke, England

    WiFi went down in the middle of watching Halloween Ends. 4G signal also unresponsive. Stuck on very slow 4G. Virgin Media say it’s possibly a hardware fault and want to send someone Monday. No. I’m not waiting 72 hours with no internet. I’ll implode.

  • richcon98 Richard Conway (@richcon98) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia I have to say @virginmedia are one of the worst companies to contact if you have an issue. Their message system is a joke and accounts a shambles. @skyuk is looking a better prospect!!!!

  • timofnewbury Tim Thomas 🍻🇪🇺🔶 I ❤️ NHS (@timofnewbury) reported from Newbury, England

    Virgin broadband up and down like a yo yo in Newbury RG14 6 @virginmedia

  • lissaburns Melissa Burns (@lissaburns) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @tonight__we_fly @virginmedia Exactly this 👆🏻... at least long serving customers are apparently all treated equally... with poor service 😭

  • MatildaDr Joanne Wells (@MatildaDr) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia you used to be great, but now not so great. I lose my internet connection far more frequently now. There’s an error when I try and change my package online. I’ve phoned customer service now I have to call tomorrow as your systems are down for changing packages

  • TheTomothy Tom Hogan (@TheTomothy) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia better have a good explanation for this but likely this will never be answered and all my years of bills and loyalty mean absolutely sod all. @bt_uk and @SkyHelpTeam Any good deals on broadband? And can you promise you wont vandalise my home & connection randomly?

  • CathyTVNews Cathy Alexander (@CathyTVNews) reported from Thatcham, England

    What's the problem @virginmedia ? No broadband all day in RG18. Work day wasted. Your signal check says "problems" but no updates. Can't get thro to customer service.

  • lissaburns Melissa Burns (@lissaburns) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia can you help? We’ve been struggling with internet for last 3 weeks. Now dropping on daily basis and devices not connecting. Spent 1.5hrs talking on Thurs... was promised a call back yesterday but received nothing and still major issues. Can someone pls call?

  • AfroChuck87 Dan 🇪🇺 #TitanUp (@AfroChuck87) reported from Basingstoke, England

    . Why have you hung up on be after being on hold after 40 minutes. Your customer service is an absolute disgrace. You should be ashamed. @virginmedia

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Woolhampton, England

    @virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

  • pilot_paul Pilot_Paul (@pilot_paul) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @ianmills99 @virginmedia No internet in RG21 either. Cannot even get on to the service page on my mobile

  • SimonMiller52 Simon Miller (@SimonMiller52) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia Hi yes I’ve done this numerous times and spoken to many people on chat and always been told I will get a call to discuss and I never hear back. I just want someone to look into why we cannot get it but it’s available on our road. Thanks

    @virginmedia I have no sevice on my is there a problem or is my phone?

  • SFisher74 sally fisher (@SFisher74) reported

    @VMO2News @virginmedia Would not recommend Virgin. Had more problems with them than we ever had with sky and BT together. No WiFi for 3 days - “due to an outage” they say. How is this acceptable? Terrible service.

  • WhitakerJoan Joan Whitaker (@WhitakerJoan) reported

    @bobharrisuk @virginmedia I am having the same problem. 10 days and several hours on the phone. Still no email.

  • a_lil_bear JoJo (@a_lil_bear) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. Spoken to the call centre as well… same story EVERY time ‘we are working on it’. How long will it take to fix? It’s effecting numerous systems in my house!

  • RJG9090 Ryanjoegilbert@outlook.com (@RJG9090) reported

    @virginmedia my Internet wasn't working this morning. I have tried the service status which tells me to wait 24 hours. I have reset my hub, factory reset my hub and the light on the hub is white but no device is working. Followed all your guides online too.

  • WhitakerJoan Joan Whitaker (@WhitakerJoan) reported

    @VMO2News @virginmedia Is this why you seem unable to fix faults.

  • KayJay242111 KayJay (@KayJay242111) reported

    @virginmedia interesting conversation with your helpdesk. My 'super' hub 3 is experiencing intermittent WiFi issues with signal drop outs; Nothing they can do... really? You only guarantee ethernet and not WiFi? Thanks(!) Maybe I should reconsider supplier?

  • gsethi2003 Gurvinder Sethi (@gsethi2003) reported

    @virginmedia @curlylew06 @richardbranson No point raising complaints as you just ignore them or offer tiny compensation for the trouble caused. Virgin Media getting worse each year

  • Diana80824998 Diana (@Diana80824998) reported

    @virginmedia I have spoken to one of your staff but he could/ would not cancel it but was trying to sell me more broadband which I do not need. He said he would call back but that didn’t happen. I have come up against a brick wall. Please provide an email address so that I can cancel this.

  • gsethi2003 Gurvinder Sethi (@gsethi2003) reported

    @Ed6114 @virginmedia No it's exactly the service you have given Ed, me and a lot of other customers. Your customer service is absolutely awful as 8s your comppaimts handling procedure.
