    @westbrookdanni @virginmedia Up to 2 weeks ago I didn't have a bad word to say about them. The pure fact you can't get through to someone is the worst of it. Happy to take your money and trim your internet speeds!

    @virginmedia I think she was recording a fault as far as I could make out due to her poor English

  • GoonerGrizzly

    @virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

    . @virginmedia down yet again? Not able to watch On Demand and error messages. Plus their website is down. 🙄

    Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia 5 days with no landline despite your customer services saying 24 hours everytime I ring so yes I have been in touch and no they have still not sorted it total joke!

  • Scott_Wic
    Scott Wickham (@Scott_Wic) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia My request to support was about the hub5 and some Wi-Fi extenders/boosters which I’m entitled to, they said that it was sorted and would be in the post and now only the hub5 has turned up!!! Does this mean I have to contact support again…….

    @virginmedia you came to my mums house to fix cable. You’ve left having disconnected her phone line and sent it to a neighbour house who is now being rude. Been on hold hour on phone. Both in poor health phone Essential

    @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 :(

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

    @virginmedia I’ve now been told that there is no complaints team, despite the fact I spoke to them earlier. How is it possible to be so poor?

  • yiddo71
    Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia No landline for 9 days following a house move, incorrect bills, and poor customer service being cut off many times

  • KatiePurkiss
    Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

  • vamplady35
    Sharon Cooper (@vamplady35) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia My understanding is that it is affecting a lot of people. I have now worked out how to access my email another way but do strongly feel that virgin media should be looking to resolve this issue ASAP.

  • Bunglebob66
    Robert Bailey (@Bunglebob66) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia get enough money from me and all the others get enough, from the rest of the paying public. So stop being greedy, stop paying the Premier clubs so much and wages will have to come down. There, sorted!

  • KatiePurkiss
    Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia They haven’t got through to anyone to cancel it yet?

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

    @BritishGas I’m truly astonished. I didn’t think there could be anyone worse than @virginmedia for customer service but you’ve managed it. I’m in awe.

  • LiisaJane

    @virginmedia @nickgooner80 I wanna know why my broadband has been all day! I do not want to be paying for a service I cannot use!!!!!! 🤬🤬 I have a bored 6 year old. SORT IT OUT!!! And I can’t check my service status as I can’t access the internet even on my 4G or the virgin media app.

    @virginmedia we seem to have WiFi still but our sky box has lost connection.. is this related to the issues you have?

  • tolu_____
    Tolu (@tolu_____) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

    Gavin Lee (@Gav288) reported

    @virginmedia We moved house 29th May and took our contract with us. Nearly 2 weeks later and we still have no TV services. Spent over 8 hours on the phone since we moved, been told it’s an IT issue but still not resolved. Is the IT guy on holiday?

  • roycarroll1969
    Roy Carroll (@roycarroll1969) reported

    @virginmedia our service is down and if you look on the service down sites they are all saying the service is down. Then we speak to virgin media and they can’t see any problems. 🤯 and to give em 20 hours to look into it .. ridiculous

  • danni_ox_
    Danni (@danni_ox_) reported

    @PharmacistExpat @virginmedia They could - but their website states broadband is only an issue when it’s broadband only deals, it’s it’s broadband and tv - it says any broadband, therefore anything that’s in the “not eligible” below, doesn’t count for them

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia Give it time new customer, the price will shoot up. Same problem is why I left VM

    Virgin Media shyte TV is a joke. You'd be convinced the issue was Elon Musk, and not the beheading.

    Gizëm (@seccadelikbaby) reported

    @virginmedia Of course I already checked. The estimated fix time is now 8:06pm. That’s far too late and will completely disrupt my workday. I work from home and have already been without internet for 2 days. This situation is unbelievable and has caused me significant inconvenience!
