  • Twiterteroo Twiterteroo (@Twiterteroo) reported from Gillingham, England

    @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!?

  • 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?

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

    @virginmedia No, I want the postal address for service of a county court summons.

  • kellydyke08 Kelly **** (@kellydyke08) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia time now 11:14pm and certain channels still aren’t working, things said they have recorded when they haven’t, search function also still not working code c133. I think a refund is due to a lot of customers 👎🏻👎🏻#virginmediadown

  • adiesmith64 ⚒Adrian Smith⚒ (@adiesmith64) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @KAYI50747133 @virginmedia Yep how you have explained it is exactly the same for me, have tried my 2nd box upstairs but the same problem!

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

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

  • sinozza Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @ThatNickElse @virginmedia Did you get through in the end Nick...I'm having similar problems to you.

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

    @virginmedia No and there’s no point. You’ve had two years to fix this. I’m not paying any more and you can sue me. See you in court.

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

    Wow Virgin media TV services are down nationwide due to a power outage. That's an awful lot of compensation.

  • 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.

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

    Two contrasting phone calls to @virginmedia CS this morning. Really unhelpful 1st guy / rude. Rang directly back and the differner guy was absolutely amazing. Mathew was his name and he needs a praise. 1st guy really needs a lesson in customer service. Thank you Mathew.

  • pinknblue Helen Dickens (pinknblue):) (@pinknblue) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @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 :(

  • briggsym matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia how can I complain about internet reliability from your service. It has been appalling and inconsistent and seriously considering moving to another provider.

  • briggsym matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia broadband speeds are awful - who should I go with @SkyUK or @BTGroup

  • coxychris chris cox (@coxychris) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia why are no one answering your lines all I wanna do is cancel my package

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia No, we’re way past all that now, this has been going on for months/years. Now, I can’t even get to talk to anyone. I’ve requested you change my box. You haven’t. What is the head office address for service of legal documents please?

  • DanskiBoyWonder ∂αиѕкι (@DanskiBoyWonder) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia They replaced the box and it’s all working now,I do have one other query I have the Virgin go app but I don’t have any content available on it,is this something you can fix for me? There appears to be an issue with my account I have the ultimate ooomph package if that matters.

  • sinozza Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I spent over an hour on the phone yesterday trying to get through to a customer service rep only to get cut off. Still waiting to hear on WhatsApp and been on hold this afternoon 45 mins and still holding???? Whats going on??

  • DanskiBoyWonder ∂αиѕкι (@DanskiBoyWonder) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia Thankyou I’ve done that hopefully they fix it 🙏🏻

  • Nath_On_Twit Nathan (@Nath_On_Twit) reported

    @virginmedia I just can’t believe as a company (not your individual advisors who are only telling me what the policy’s say) would rather a customer request call recordings to prove they were promised something and risk an ombudsman case than just provide what was promised

  • gav_taylor Gavin Taylor (@gav_taylor) reported

    @virginmedia issues in SK3? I can ping my hub fine but nothing your side

  • Y33tV4l1 Michael The Neon Avali (@Y33tV4l1) reported

    So umm... bad news... My internet went down, and it only says on virgin media's website that there's problems with TV, not the internet

  • blitza700 blitza700 (@blitza700) reported

    @virginmedia the ethernet cable is not the problem its the port on the router I have swapped out the ethernet cable and still nothing so i tried a different port with both ethernet cable and the other port worked with both cables. so yeah the second ethernet port down is broken

  • borondeadri borondeadri (@borondeadri) reported

    hey @virginmedia who can I contact about a gdpr breach? your customer service team on the phone is absolutely useless so please don’t tell me to call them (again). I’m pretty concerned about this so I would really appreciate some help ASAP.

  • _simkb SKB🤩 (@_simkb) reported

    @virginmedia can someone actually respond, this customer service is disgusting man

  • AbbottsSharon Sharon Abbotts (@AbbottsSharon) reported

    @virginmedia And suprise suprise no fix and yet another day added to fix time!!🤬

  • ThanAndreou Than Andreou (@ThanAndreou) reported

    @virginmedia 4 days isn't really as quickly as possible though is it? What are my options for compensation? Can you tell me if there are faults in my area? The engineer who came on Friday could see work going on but the status page available to me showed no issues and still does. ME10 2DW

  • hobbsmusicUK Hobbs (@hobbsmusicUK) reported

    @MarsdenBrothers @vmbusiness Pretty shocking service if they agreed a date then don't fulfill it... might be worth taking your business elsewhere?

  • PatrickButler03 Patrick Butler (@PatrickButler03) reported

    @virginmedia been trying to contact, you's over 2hrs and could not get through, your automated service has ended the call twice because you's are too busy to take my calls. Is there any way i can cancel my services online
