    @virginmedia Sure, office this morning at about 8am. No service and Internet access by 9.30M and popped back late morning and still nothing around 10.45am. So finished my admin at home with my own broadband connection. Didn't call or raise the issue as its a pointless exercise. Cheers

    @virginmedia No problem, and thank you for sorting it out quickly. May be worth making sure telephone staff tell customers about call out charges as I had no idea they applied in this situation.

    @virginmedia I finally got through to a real person via text today and booked a landline appointment, although It’s not the anytime plan that I wanted . Never had so much trouble switching provider. Almost not worth it.

    @virginmedia So you're telling me to be without stable /any Internet for at least 3-5 days and that is okay and acceptable? No. We work from home. You need to fix this.

    Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia @O2 Its definitely you lot Robin as your broadband service was a disgrace when I moved to you and I had to pay out for cancelling contract early. If this is what’s to come O2 then you will a customer of over 15 years.

  • John_murphy1
    John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia how do I order a new hub please? My current one loses network access and needs rebooting every hour or so. Not ideal when working from home. There are no known service issues so I’m thinking it’s a hub issue.

    @Benleo @virginmedia They are the pitts. Had a bad experience with them years ago and have never used any Virgin product since.

  • madcow42
    Sarah 🌼 & RIP Jasper 🐾 (@madcow42) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Sky are no better, impossible to get to speak with anyone from their call centre that actually speaks clear English. I admit I've put the phone down several times because I cannot understand a word they say.

  • Laura92492442
    Laura (@Laura92492442) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Try @NatWindscreens they would give Virgin a run for their money. Tried calling 5 times - different person each time- 5 calls today, 3 emails and voice mail. They have taken my money, realised that window screen needs calibration and offered date in TWO weeks. 3rd world service

    @virginmedia internet issues for 2 weeks now and still no update, very inconsistent when checking service status too, it goes from intermittent to everything ok every few times I check it?

  • Benleo
    Ben Leo (@Benleo) reported

    Congrats to @virginmedia for being perhaps the WORST company I’ve ever had the misfortune of dealing with in Britain. Three engineer visits, five plus calls to Indian call centres, and still you can’t activate the TV contract you upsold me when I simply called to get my connection back. Awful, awful business model.

    @virginmedia Thank you Vigin Media for spoiling the end of the PGA Tournament, WIFI kept cutting out near the close of the Tournament so don't know who won, shoddy service to say the least, why should we pay for a mediocre service, not fit for purpose.

    @O2 hello, I am looking at purchasing a new sim through my blue light discount. My mum is currently locked out of her account after purchasing a new sim herself. I have recently bought a new phone & have virgin media volt benefits, will I encounter any issues?

    @Benleo @Scott7507064635 @virginmedia I once had Virgin Media broadband (because there was no alternative in the area) and I had the same awful experience with them. I hate them and would never use them again.
