  • kelly_bingham2 Kelly Bingham (@kelly_bingham2) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia you are an absolute shambles and that’s me being polite .... countless amounts of calls, hours on end of holding on the line and trying to resolve a very simple issue and it is STILL not resolved ..I am beyond frustrated now and will never ever use you again

  • Coxy009 Ben Cox (@Coxy009) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia my internet connection is still being affected by the issue you had a few days ago! This is not good enough and I expect better.

  • M_Morgan94 Mark Morgan (@M_Morgan94) reported from Rochester, England

    Virgin Media estimated fix being 10am tomorrow, well looks like no TV for me 🤡

  • l_stallworthy Laura S 🦢🦄 (@l_stallworthy) reported from Gillingham, England

    Virgin Media are terrible 🤣 if it’s not the WiFi playing up, it’s the TV lol

  • Joewilkins14 Joey (@Joewilkins14) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia any idea when you might actually fix your internet issues... it’s not like people are trying to work from home or anything! ABSOLUTELY USESLESS!!!!!

  • thebooooooth Mark Booth (@thebooooooth) reported from Basildon, England

    Problems with @virginmedia continue. Now the wifi is down and no streaming tonight! #shouldnothaveleftsky #FirstWorldProblems

  • MarkPashby Mark Pashby (@MarkPashby) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia still no connectivity at all for me in SS0. Running a successful ISP should also surely include upda ting customers when issues arrise. Internet connectivity in this day and age is a utility, not a nice to have. #virginmediadown

  • TomzEvz5 X (@TomzEvz5) reported from Wainscott, England

    If I had a pound for everytime @virginmedia went down I'd finally be able to afford my Internet bill... #virginmedia #virgindown #virgin #sortitoutlove

  • Joewilkins14 Joey (@Joewilkins14) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I mean honestly if you want to sort your shit out, all the boys wanna do is win *** one on clubs again

  • TylerTowers Ashley Halliday (@TylerTowers) reported from Gillingham, England

    40 minutes on hold (so far)for @virginmedia’ customer service. Whilst loads of online options to “solve your problem” when you get through on the phone and told they need to transfer my call, you do hope they are on the case! Why did I ever leave Sky - a false economy

  • MarkPashby Mark Pashby (@MarkPashby) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia i get it. Captalist country and therefore a fallacy to beleive we dont need you. You social media support responders are in jobs etc But really, VM broadband is a joke. Bring back telewest and the more personal service of old. #virginmediadown again

  • tmacbond Tmak (@tmacbond) reported from Wickford, England

    @Ofcom @virginmedia How on earth can you on a simple change over of service that your representative said or was an easy job & you still 5months later still being billed & endless promises not kept now it’s calls eating into family time & not end in sight!! Help

  • thebooooooth Mark Booth (@thebooooooth) reported from Basildon, England

    So @virginmedia lie to you and then don't respond to you or follow up your phone request to make a complaint. Why did i ever leave Sky! The service has been shocking, wouldn't recommend Virgin to anyone

  • tmacbond Tmak (@tmacbond) reported from Wickford, England

    This is unacceptable @virginmedia your services especially the customer services despite endless promises still not done #ShabbyServices

  • BrazilArteUK BrazilArte (@BrazilArteUK) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    I’ve been waiting in all day for a package. For them not to deliver as they couldn’t ring the door bell. @virginmedia please don’t use @YodelOnline anymore they are the worst company ever.

  • _SamButler Sam (@_SamButler) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia don’t want to sound like a Karen but your internet has been ******* appalling this week, down yet again what a joke

  • tmacbond Tmak (@tmacbond) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia you know @QprShivvy has problems you are not fixing too

  • penticost_kathy kathy penticost (@penticost_kathy) reported

    @virginmedia I showed on photo it says unable to connect and I added the wifi network number (guess that’s the username) and the password but says virgin media unable to connect

  • willsagnew William Agnew (@willsagnew) reported

    @virginmedia is there any chance of your complaint team getting the finger out and contacting me. The broadband Isaias I have is shocking and a joke when trying to homeschool. Either get someone on the blower or I start emailing and annoying your CEO as that might be the only way

  • montgomery_rj Robbie Montgomery (@montgomery_rj) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, after more than three hours on the phone, me raising a complaint and calling a number of times to chase. However, after a further two hours on the phone this morning you are now saying my virgin mobile account might be cancelled because of the delay in your installation...

  • enchanted1966 Helen Stephanie (@enchanted1966) reported

    @virginmedia If you ask me what the problem is dont you think it's common courtesy to follow that up?

  • McCullochNick Nick McCulloch (@McCullochNick) reported

    @virginmedia Total Loss of Service was reported on Friday. And the agent tells of ongoing problems since 30th December! How long does it take for you to update your service status! 3 hours of call waits. Non responsive online chat. Tech appointment in 1 week! Tell us what the issue is please!

  • JamiePJones91 Jamie (@JamiePJones91) reported

    @virginmedia I’m wasting my money with your **** ******* internet

  • Brydo____ Brydo (@Brydo____) reported

    @PsychoboyUK @virginmedia already been resolved, looks like a wiring issue and if my speeds dont improve in the next 24 hours ill book an engineer visit online.

  • mrsranting Mrs Ranting (@mrsranting) reported

    @virginmedia our internet keeps dropping out but says no issues in our area & there doesn't seem to be anywhere to report faults when you say all is working fine. Have tried all the usual tricks to get it working.

  • hurricanehorton Michael Horton (@hurricanehorton) reported

    @virginmedia Is there a problem with Virgin in Croydon? I can't get onto the TV or the internet at all.
