    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!

    @virginmedia I raised the complaint on 14/7 and I’ve heard nothing

  • 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.

    Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia This is a long story. But Virgin have changed my IMEI number making a second repair not possible. My account is down and even Virgin can't access it. I've been promised calls back several times but they've not happened. The litany of Virgin failures is impossible to put in a text

    Michael Buckley (@MikeBuckley2) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia I am trying to access live chat as I have blackspots in house and would like WiFi boosters from Virgin. I have 200 Mbps but am getting only 20mbps in bedroom. Cannot find live chat on sites other than loads of help pages. Really frustrating

  • 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?

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

    @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

  • 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.

    @Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

    @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

    @virginmedia we have had poor internet here for at least a month, if not more. Tonight it is dropping out time and again. Your service is becoming very shoddy. How can I claim conpensation?

  • WilliamWhi34104
    Solas Nua (@WilliamWhi34104) reported

    @VirginMediaNews We have had enough of parasites like this **** and virgin media sucking the money out of our taxpayers, the lot of you **** off out of the country, every one of you will pay for you theft.

  • j_henderson__
    JHenderson (@j_henderson__) reported

    @virginmedia You know, it would be nice if there were some responsibilty taken for the poor customer service rather than some AI generated “ah well sorry about that”. You’re a service provider, and the service is crap.

  • ObliviousReaper
    Ian Whittaker 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@ObliviousReaper) reported

    @virginmedia outage on both TV and then broadband around Leeds?

  • sodiumlights
    Sodium (@sodiumlights) reported

    @virginmedia Oh, and when I've told you what the error message is, and you send an engineer out without telling him that, so he doesn't have the parts he needs, is ****. Looks like my O2 data is going to get hammered. And I'm going to get cold.

  • hutchinson_mags
    mags hutchinson (@hutchinson_mags) reported

    Yet again let down by @virginmedia who have decided to cut internet off the day before we move

    Ian McWilliams (@macaz1977) reported

    @virginmedia your WiFi is terrible in the NE16 postcode. Can you have a look into it please?

  • jon_pearce
    Jon P (@jon_pearce) reported

    Need to log on to @virginmedia to cancel my contract and the website appears to not work when using their broadband 🤔. Somewhat convenient that.

  • otterman62
    otterman62 (@otterman62) reported

    @virginmedia all services out since mid morning with an estimate of 21:00 for a fix!! Awful service from virgin media

  • keithapearson
    Keith A Pearson (@keithapearson) reported

    @virginmedia Still waiting on your chat agent - to say he/she is incompetent would be the mother of all understatements. And yes, I've tried calling in the past, and that experience was so frustratingly pointless that I'm never trying again.
