  • DronePilotGeoff Geoff Watkins (@DronePilotGeoff) reported from Gillingham, England

    @fasurveyors @virginmedia I have to say; I’m normally pretty pleased with @virginmedia internet. It’s normally fast and reliable. But last couple of days has been awful. It’s getting too expensive as well

  • hungoverdrawn Robert Shaw (@hungoverdrawn) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia It's started working this morning after 24 hours down, bit strange that your website said there were no service issues anywhere 😒 I guess I'll cancel that engineer visit now.

    @virginmedia we done that, all connections are in to the box, your company network thinks that we are connected via router this not so, but has a cable run into the house.

  • tmacbond Tmak (@tmacbond) reported from Wickford, England

    @1KolaAdebisi @virginmedia @Ofcom @Ofcom Your intervention is really needed here because @virginmedia has really failed in their dispensing of service #ShabbyServices

    @virginmedia experiencing the worst customer service I have ever had. Been a customer for 10+ years but not after today @SkyUK will be gaining another customer instead

  • dudders78 Ben Duddington 7⃣8⃣ (@dudders78) reported

    @virginmedia have to say very disappointed by the lack of comms regarding a network fault in my area that started yesterday morning. Received text yesterday to say resolved but it wasn’t, app & online test say everything’s ok until I run a test which then confirms the issue is

  • Haggisman04 Nat (@Haggisman04) reported

    @virginmedia I'm in Birmingham - service status is showing a fault, due to be resolved @ 12:50. Fine, I get things break sometimes, but a big part of the reason I moved my mobile to Virgin was due to the unlimited data offer which (supposedly) gave me a backup when working from home.

  • Haggisman04 Nat (@Haggisman04) reported

    @virginmedia ...my mobile, but ~20GB down already and no sign of any unlimited data?

  • HopeMarieBonnen Hope-Marie Bonnen (@HopeMarieBonnen) reported

    @virginmedia I cant!!! Why are you so stupid?!

  • GamesWithTea GamesWithTea (@GamesWithTea) reported

    @_Jontis_ @virginmedia It's a joke what's the point of paying for a service you don't receive

  • Lisapish Lisa O Brien (@Lisapish) reported from Dublin City, Leinster

    So WiFi completely gone in the house and @virginmedia don’t open Sundays for calls .. Surely that can’t be right .. I’m working from home So need help ?

  • EFCSankey Jay Sankey (@EFCSankey) reported

    @virginmedia, go through a load of steps for about half an hour to get the Internet fixed, absolutely zero help, it tells me to use the app, which then doesn’t work because it can’t connect to the internet that doesn’t exist. Phenomenal customer service that👏🏻

  • Tishav61 💙TishaRoo 💙 (@Tishav61) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for replying. I figured no one would phone. Thus far, forums have not helped to resolve the problem.

  • Sonnyrugby10 Sonia wade (@Sonnyrugby10) reported

    @virginmedia yet again WiFi is slow or not even working keeps putting me on my 4g for my devices as soon as my year is up I’m leaving would never recommend them to anyone
