    Julie McCarthy (@jooz282) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia It was a little more than short lasting pixelation! The channel kept dropping completely and during the main fight it felt like we were watching in slow motion.

    @virginmedia Folks, amuse me, why on earth would I or anyone complete a survey after leaving you when you couldn’t deal with the issue within 2 months and dare I say the plus 20 years we had an undiagnosed fault!?

    Why is it every companies customer service line is so crap and does not want to help in any way shape or form #curryspcworld #virginmedia @BBCWatchdog

    Ashley Halliday (@TylerTowers) reported from Gillingham, England

    I’ve been on my knees far too much tonight. @virginmedia your broadband is awful these days. And resetting either fails or lasts 10 mins. From superhero to supergran. Not worth your monthly bill. #virginmediadown #virginmedia

    Penny Rolfe (@wonky61shaky) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia When are you going to refund me for many days without a wifi signal

  • lillyelizax
    SatansLittleGirl🔮 (@lillyelizax) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia There isn’t internet down time the box has stopped working, they can’t get a new box out here till mid week, with a lot of people working from home you think you’d have next day delivery or something, bad enough we can’t have a engineer out to help

    @virginmedia hello Merry Christmas. If any one is there today so you know 8f the e mails are down as from early this morning it keeps asking me to put in mu password and then not recognising it but won't let me re set either and I can't send or receive any e mails :(

    @virginmedia I can’t seem to find an email address or postal address for general queries, can you please provide me with one? My nan is now in a care home with dementia and we need to cancel her landline, broadband & mobile on her behalf so need to write to you to give details.

    @virginmedia Your missing the point my phone works now my complaint was about the fact it took 9 days to activate and Virgin changed the number

    @virginmedia what’s happened to your customer services? I have stayed with you for years now need your help, can’t log into my account need your help and holding forever on the phone ....

  • Lisa2672

    @virginmedia Sort it out Virgin IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!! Can’t even log on to get service updates 😡😡😡

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

  • GoonerGrizzly
    grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

  • onearmedjohn
    Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia This is so tiresome I have complained so many times about slow broadband speed, unreliable WiFi, terrible TV services & only after threatening to leave did you send an engineer in July. This made it a little better, but recently it’s been unreliable of an evening.

    @virginmedia Appt booked for between 8 and 12 today, phoned you at 12, took 25 minutes to speak to someone, was told engineer would call me with a time within the hour, still heard nothing. Shambolic customer service.

  • hrcastle
    HRCastle (@hrcastle) reported

    @virginmedia Since 10am I have been trying to speak to someone to see if there is a problem in my area, or whether I need an engineer out. I have had phone calls from the complaints department, but still, no answer. Why won’t you confirm this?

    @virginmedia your support team are useless and I will be taking it further.

  • AlloquiStrix
    Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported

    @virginmedia Still no refund though! Seems like what you said about registering an outage (which I did on the website) - and my in-law's registered as well, resulted in nothing being refunded to either. When should this be expected?

  • ferdi_rezvan
    Ferdi Rezvan (@ferdi_rezvan) reported

    @virginmedia Multiple random outages over 24 hours, and your virgin status page does not work properly. Should have stayed with BT in 2 years and had no outages. Regret joining virgin media , poor internet and poor technical support.
