    @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?

    @virginmedia I need to speak to a manager who can help. They don't seem to want to. I have a contract phone, it won't charge, it's under guarantee, I'm paying you and you won't help.

    @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?

    @suziqvk @virginmedia BT, without a doubt. Virgim media is absolutely useless, bad internet, bad coverage, bad service

    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 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

    @virginmedia problems with the boxing again tonight - paid for @anthonyfjoshua fight and keep getting pixelated picture and channel going off air entirely - is it being sorted?

  • polhilljim
    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

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

    James Young (@jamesrfyoung) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia your internet has been rubbish recently with varying speeds as low as 5mb 1 minute then 95mb the next! Now it’s gone down completely! On top of not being able to speak with anyone I don’t feel that your service is worth it! #rubbishservice

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

    Pete Bradbury (@PeteBradders) reported

    @virginmedia @DisneyPlusUK I have been a customer of yours for 25 years and upon the most recent contract renewal, you denied the package I opted for because it was for 'new customers only' and then went on to charge me with a bill for £124! A colossal 34% increase! Loyalty means nothing!

  • bricknblock1981
    Craig (@bricknblock1981) reported

    @virginmedia AVOID AT ALL COSTS - Absolutely awful customer service. Schedule appointments and never turn up. We are now on our 5th rescheduled appointment in 5 days and no expected timeframe for a resolution. Total loss of service 11 days and counting…

  • iWalkOutdoors
    iWalkOutdoors (@iWalkOutdoors) reported

    @jollyjapes Zero. Never have in the full 15yrs of trading. Don’t know how much a van costs? You think there’s enough left for dividends? Perhaps you’re mistaking me & my biz for a CEO of BP or a regional manager of VirginMedia. I bloomin live on a housing estate with other working ppl.

  • christobinsings
    Cristoir Toibin (@christobinsings) reported

    @virginmedia absolute shambles of a service today, missed the football and now no Internet again for the last hour. Happy to send me 4 messages to say you've fixed "the issue" Time to move to another provider.

  • jonno153
    Shakermaker (@jonno153) reported

    @virginmedia hello, I’ve been having WiFi problems for some time now. I already have a WiFi pod in the home but if I move it then we get another dead spot. I have called about this but was told that I need to have a speed test below 30mbps.

  • crackersmackerx
    Crckersmckerx (@crackersmackerx) reported

    My internet is so bad. I wish death upon virgin media

  • deanspread
    Deano (@deanspread) reported

    @virginmedia Well I’m at work now but it was working then going off for a couple minutes then back on all day. Then about 9pm went off for 20 mins then back on. Went on your page to check the service and it was saying nothing was wrong.

    @virginmedia we are now over 12 hours into this issue without any meaningful update Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, services must be provided with reasonable care and skill. A prolonged outage without resolution or communication may breach this. Can you please update

  • kevinclarknw
    Kevin Clark (@kevinclarknw) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. There are now TWO issues, one of which is not expected to be fixed until Wednesday. Ssevice has been out since Friday.
