  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • Loafite Tony Phillips (@Loafite) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @SkyHelpTeam hope all is well, @virginmedia have just increased my bill again for broadband (£32 increase per month in the last 10 months, disgraceful) are there any deals for a Sky customer for broadband?

    @virginmedia Hi - I'm in Rg22 and Internet has been down since about 11am - do you have an eta for when this will be fixed? Thanks

  • 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!!!!

  • AfroChuck87 ¥ (@AfroChuck87) reported from Basingstoke, England

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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • tRed20 Tony Redmond (@tRed20) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia have a registration failure on my hub meaning no WiFi, broadband or TV available. Apparently no issues in my postcode??? Reset done same outcome 😔

  • 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 😭

  • 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

    @Dom_Brown2406 @virginmedia Got through. They aim to fix the issue by 10:00

    @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

  • 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.

    @virginmedia And herein lies the problem. The account is in the husband's name who has passed away so she can't pass the security checks and can't get anything sorted so she's stuck with no phone or internet until she gets the death certificate

  • mariareardon77 Maria Reardon (@mariareardon77) reported

    @PhilGreenrm41 @virginmedia been trying to cancel for weeks but when you press to leave virgin ‘miraculously ‘ you lose the connection’ to stop people cancelling before the price increase

  • swar80 Swaroop Manjrekar (@swar80) reported

    Pathetic service from#virginmedia. Intermittent broadband connection issues but no solution. Customer care advices me to get a new connection from.some other provider while the engineer fixes the issue. @virginmedia @richardbranson.

  • jameshorton83 jimmy (@jameshorton83) reported

    @virginmedia your service is so poor lately I've had an intermittent broadband signal for several weeks now and still no sign of being resolved! Could you please get in touch regarding the 2 complaints I've made so far?!

  • SGiangregorio Sarah Giangregorio (@SGiangregorio) reported

    @virginmedia 🙄🙄🙄 Losing the will… you’re not sorry. Your ‘system’ says there is no outage yet we have no internet. It came on briefly so we rebooted. Still no internet. My son had to drive back to Manchester to be able to work on his dissertation. You are a disgrace of a company.
