  • Dearnormajeane
    lindsay wood (@Dearnormajeane) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @kelseybytheway @virginmedia Second this so ******* hard. Diagnostics dont do **** when the issue is with the hardware itself

  • SUEG46
    Sue Groves MBE (@SUEG46) reported from Rochester, England

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

  • 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

  • sarahhben
    Sarah Bennett (@sarahhben) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Our internet is down in ME8 area (Parkwood) status check says ‘no known issues’

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

    @virginmedia Still @virginmedia can’t get anything right!! Still you screw everything up and provide really bad customer service @BBCWatchdog

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

    @virginmedia I’ve had two lengthy phone calls with your ‘technical support’ people; it briefly got quicker then stopped working completely. On their instructions I’ve changed some settings on my router which apparently may take 48 hours to fully take effect…

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

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

  • 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.

  • moebius1967
    ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @bushontheradio Trying to get through to Virgin media to cancel the contract. Bloody chatbot isn't worth a ****

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

    @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.

  • 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.

  • statusquo44
    Peter Fudge 💙 (@statusquo44) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @leonagraham @virginmedia Yes, the issue is you’re being denied internet access 👍

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

    @virginmedia sort your customer service out they have just cut meoff again!!! Whilst on hold to make a complaint #ripoff

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

    @virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking

  • Just_Daz_Young
    Darren Young 📺 (@Just_Daz_Young) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia My tariff is going up from £72ish to £108ish so I want to leave... Simple but trying to get them to do this is madness. Internet is slow and not reliable, I have been promised the earth and it has just got worst! @BBCWatchdog

  • goonerlgh
    Lawrence Hooker (@goonerlgh) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Third Superhub and it's just as unreliable as the previous two. Frequently has to be reset. Slow speeds, unstable wifi. When are you going to replace it with decent hardware?

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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?

  • moleyfozz
    paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England

    @MrG48 @virginmedia Yep. Turned it all off once came back ok but very hit and miss tonight. Good job not working from home at the moment.

    @Benleo @virginmedia Kicked them years ago, awful service. Awful products.

  • IlPoofto
    The Emperor Poofius Maximus (@IlPoofto) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia No customer service in the evenings and weekends, when people are most likely to need it...

  • BlueRoomArt
    🇬🇧 Blue Room Art (@BlueRoomArt) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Had very similar issues, the call centres are horrific, they have no idea what I’m saying or asking for. All the engineers arriving had been given completely wrong information for visit. Back and forward for about 6 weeks to get my internet working again.

  • rsole1212
    Bob holness (@rsole1212) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Vodafone is very good for internet, we've got it. Never had a problem and if you've got a Vodafone phone you get discount I think.

  • christopherauco
    christopher aucott (@christopherauco) reported

    @virginmedia 36 hours of no internet and half my channels not working on the TV and I still can't book an engineer. What is going on with your service?

  • kunsbannedhair
    Gazza (@kunsbannedhair) reported

    @jomickane @Benleo @virginmedia I know you may doubt my sincerity, These jokers are just as bad

  • GTCT19144
    Gazza191 (@GTCT19144) reported

    @jomickane @Benleo Don't go with Virgin media Jo , the worst company ever.

  • LWTMartin
    LWT Martin (@LWTMartin) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I’ve been hearing this for years and as a consequence would never, ever, consider anything from Virginia Media. Doesn’t help you, I know, it’s just a ‘you’re not alone’ type sympathy.

    @EnarialP @virginmedia @JoyB40 Is the Internet down for Verizon?

  • conning_john
    John Conning (@conning_john) reported

    @Benleo @CallmeRight1 @virginmedia I had heard they have a dreadful reputation for customer service or lack of it…..
