  • Mick1082 Mike smith (@Mick1082) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Eventually yes but had to go though the sales team first I get with the COVID situation it’s more tricky than normal but the 150 line though is appalling to be cut off after waiting spending nearly two hours is really poor service guys the people I did speak to were very helpful

  • schstsc1 @megyesischwartz (@schstsc1) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia 45 minutes to get through to a person. Told them I wanted to leave. They put me on hold and cut me off! Goodbye Virgin - Hello Sky (the @skytv package is £70 cheaper). @virginmedia customer service is a disgrace

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia are you able to check on a fault by location for me. I don’t have access to the VM account but the last I heard was it should of been resolved by 10am today and it’s still down, account holder won’t be available for hours to check

  • pSK Pete Hobson (@pSK) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    You bunch of cheap *** fraudsters @virginmedia . Invest in your infrastructure. Invest in your tech support. You really need a government watchdog don't you. You clearly can't be trusted to be a private company

  • bobthe_dolphin Bob the 🐬 (@bobthe_dolphin) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Hi, can you elaborate on why Brighton fibre was so horrifically terrible today? In 8 hours I got 3 hours work done....

  • Shannonmanuel_ shannon (@Shannonmanuel_) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia been 2 days and our WiFi still not working ! Tried resetting and turning on and off again !! Pls help , we are students who neeeeeeed WiFi

  • CharlesB2T Charles Brittain (@CharlesB2T) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia I only found this out by talking to the engineers working at getting us all attached again, down our road, but if we don't know this, it looks as though it is your equipment which is at fault. To be fully kept up to speed with real info, will stop nightmare thoughts from growing.

  • Mick1082 Mike smith (@Mick1082) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia what’s happening with the tv service in the BN2 area?of Brighton it’s been fine all day and now I’m getting a broken up picture the same thing happened at the same time last night too

  • pSK Pete Hobson (@pSK) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    My god @virginmedia sort it out!! The whole streets been complaining for months. Loads have left your service now. You've replaced the junction box. What you gonna do next, waggle a squirrel and see if that fixes it?

  • CharlesB2T Charles Brittain (@CharlesB2T) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia A problem, which I'd like you to address, is that we don't know what the problem is. Last time this happened in October it turned out that the waterworks people had dug through 15 cables and it all had to be reattached.

  • fordie Mark Ford (@fordie) reported from West Worthing, England

    Anyone else in BN12 having broadband issues on @virginmedia?

  • PeterNooneComms Peter Noone 🇪🇺🇮🇪 (@PeterNooneComms) reported from Worthing, England

    Paid @virginmedia £25.95 to watch #JoshuaPulev and the picture is unwatchable. Engineer fix estimate of 11.20pm for an event that starts at 10pm is no use to anyone. #Iwantmymoneyback

  • bobthe_dolphin Bob the 🐬 (@bobthe_dolphin) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia I can't even login to my account...

  • biconic__ Alex 💫 (@biconic__) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia We’ve spent probably the best part of a full day on the phone to your ‘customer service’ staff over the last month. Appalling service.

  • biconic__ Alex 💫 (@biconic__) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @conniebliff @virginmedia Virgin media have been ******* us around for over a month and left us with no internet, truly the worst customer experience I have ever had for anything by a long way

  • pSK Pete Hobson (@pSK) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    And also @virginmedia if you reply to me with one more bot. I'm going to Dedicate every free hour I have for the next month to writing a fleet of bots to get people to leave your sucky service. So stick that up your bots.

  • SteveAfterlight Steve Love (@SteveAfterlight) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia We tried valiantly. After being let down again on the basics of simply getting us our equipment and getting us online we did eventually manage to speak to someone. Thankfully we managed to cancel and go back to Sky and never need to deal with Virgin Media ever again!

  • josie_milligan josie🗽 (@josie_milligan) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia fix has been pushed back to tomorrow now. Can't get through to a human on your phone number. Utter joke especially when so many have to work from home at the moment like my partner. 🤬

  • josie_milligan josie🗽 (@josie_milligan) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia our TV and Internet have been out since 12, fix been pushed back twice to tomorrow now. No good enough for 100 quid a month.

  • Mick1082 Mike smith (@Mick1082) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia I have no tv service what’s going on this is 3 nights running now that the picture has all broken up and suddenly it won’t even load the channels I’m paying £130 for this it’s not good enough

  • Jimmay94 James M (@Jimmay94) reported

    @virginmedia joined in august made a payment it never got credited had a complaint with executive team they apparently fixed the problem told me to call this morning to get reconnected called up told the request was sent, now I have had a completely new contract 2x the price

  • iainoswald Iain Oswald💙 (@iainoswald) reported

    Hey @virginmedia trying to work here, but you have shut my Internet down. Can we have it back up please @ EH21?

  • nottinghillman Nottinghill Man (@nottinghillman) reported

    @virginmedia @CarersUK Nothing like having your Virgin Broadband cut off without notice because of a phone call going over an arbitrary credit limit when you have not even been presented with a bill to pay for said call in the first place. How not to run a business and a service. Very poor!

  • McwilliamsMay Lara McWilliams. (@McwilliamsMay) reported

    @virginmedia already & when I call back in one hour that will be 8 times two consecutive times & then when I call back tomorrow (3 consecutive times) Virgin Media whilst taking my money for a service I am not receiving, might or might not do something about it. Or even better still let me...

  • chinad01169 Carol-Anne 🎅🎄🎁 (@chinad01169) reported

    @virginmedia Renting movies from you today is pure crap! Have ordered Aquaman and Doctor Strange and neither will play. Films run for 15 seconds then stop for 3 seconds then start and stop. I'm paying for movies I can't watch!

  • llooggaazz Lloyd James 🌱 (@llooggaazz) reported

    @virginmedia internet has been down for over two hours now and I’ve got a super important presentation due very soon!! #help

  • M4ndoooo Li☻ (@M4ndoooo) reported

    @Norman_Munneke @virginmedia youre the type of customer i dont want on the phone

  • rifleman68 jeff livy (@rifleman68) reported

    @virginmedia hi I’m having problems with your services I can’t log into my virgin media account online as it doesn’t recognise my details for some reason and also I have spoke to one of your colleagues earlier about this and didn’t seem to fix it. Also all our services are down

  • Mr_Kwacky Mr Kwacky (@Mr_Kwacky) reported

    @B14News Someone sent me a video of the virus spreading units being installed. It was a broken Virgin media TV box.

  • McwilliamsMay Lara McWilliams. (@McwilliamsMay) reported

    @virginmedia got one hour before the 24hours is up? Why am I monitoring a service that I pay for but is no longer that is not available to me Virgin Media why?
