    Hey @virginmedia! Your service is down in the whole of Strood. It’s been down since Friday, you are definitely going to lose a lot of customers this year from ME2. Fix it please, keep saying your engineers are on it. They not.

  • markIcutler Skullncross (@markIcutler) reported from Rochester, England

    Something wrong with virgin media website I can't login to my mobile account it would of been better to merge it to my broadband account @virginmedia

  • nicolleclothier nicolle clothier (@nicolleclothier) reported from Gillingham, England

    Never use @virginmedia for broadband there useless! I was on the phone to them for 1hour & 30 mins my issue still hasn’t been resolved & they passed me to 4 different members of staff then they put the phone down on me! Complete ignorance!

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Another week has passed, still no contact from your unbelievably awful resolution team!

  • TcEllalou21 Trevor John Cheal (@TcEllalou21) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I'm a customer in the Medway area we have not had any service for over 30hrs now this is disgusting

  • benjaminlangham Ben (@benjaminlangham) reported from Basildon, England

    @richardbranson your virgin media service is shocking! I thought your ethos behind running your companies was a lot better than the top providers but I was wrong, your worse! #leaving

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia This has been ongoing for over a month now. Pixelated on BBC2, E4, Channel 5 etc. I’m entirely feed up with this awful service and this month my bill has increased again.

  • AhsatanRevolg Natasha (@AhsatanRevolg) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I had no Virgin Media services in Feb. Nor in Easter. Neither do I have them today. Technicians don’t turn up when booked. Today I am using my mobile network 4G to look for a reliable internet service because yours is letting me down too often. Thank you, next.

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia 2nd complaint made via your website as still no contact from the resolution team!

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia I’ve going through this process since 20th March! I’m unable to talk on the phone easily due to a brain injury. I’m still waiting for a response from the resolution team!!

  • nicolleclothier nicolle clothier (@nicolleclothier) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia I know what the problem is! Iv explained it to 5 of your members of staff and no one can help! You also want to charge me £100 for to leave you and that’s also what I haven’t asked for you!

  • TcEllalou21 Trevor John Cheal (@TcEllalou21) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia this is getting a right joke now no one wants to help us and tell us when we will be getting our service back #superslow

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Faulty equipment, price rise and awful customer service.

  • LAURABELLE72 Laura Elliott (@LAURABELLE72) reported from Thundersley, England

    Have some sense @virginmedia if your mobile phone systems are having issues why wait until the caller has been on hold for over 15 minutes to play the recorded message that says there's nothing you can do about it #********* #CustomerService

  • nickihendrix4 nickihendrix (@nickihendrix4) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia what the actual **** is wrong with you people if it was phone bill you guys would have deducted all long time ago but y’all don’t want me to make calls and y’all decided not to warn us either. I swear to God I’m not paying my bill this month periodt

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia No advice, no contact = appalling service. This is the problem!

  • DouglasEmma07 Emma douglas (@DouglasEmma07) reported from Basildon, England

  • 1CreativeRay Ray Stower (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia No communication from you & no updates.This was one of the worst possible times of year for sports fans for this to happen. This is happening regularly since KIER group took over. I’ve had to make nothing but complaints the last 12 months. Appalling standards/service
