  • rohaaminho Najm Khan (@rohaaminho) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I signed up to your service & order a sim only deal. I’ve been trying to order another one but can’t log in to my account. Keeps saying there has been a problem and try later. This is my first ever experience with Virgin. I can’t log in nor can I place my order #firstimpressions

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Followed all you suggested actions, and still no joy. Also have a complaint open COM103973949, someone should have got in touch within 24h. 2 days and still nothing.

  • catch_cancer Catch Me If You Cancer (@catch_cancer) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia good afternoon. I've been on hold for 3 hours and been cut off twice. I'm a vulnerable customer and need to speak to someone

  • katesj1983 Kate (@katesj1983) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia It appears to be both..as both my WiFi and wired connections are being slow compared to usual

  • kyle2tweet kyle2tweet (@kyle2tweet) reported from Bracknell, England

    @JackSheaFFC @virginmedia I know so if I’m waiting for a call back then OBVIOUSLY I’ve already raised a complaint 🤣 no common sense with this company!

  • dionne_angus Dionne Angus (@dionne_angus) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia how do I cancel my contract with you. My broadband is constantly going down and for the price I pay your services are not worth it especially as i am on limited money. So I am looking at going to sky thank you

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @sabrakhan @virginmedia Mine used to be fast but got very slow a couple of weeks ago

  • Cooper100Nicola Nicola Cooper (@Cooper100Nicola) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I’m still waiting for someone to reply to me about my bill. I get cut off when I try to phone, the online complaint form receives an error on every submission, there is no chat functionality available and I can’t get a reply in social media. Please advise ASAP. Thank you.

  • StJamesofFleet James Snyder (@StJamesofFleet) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia been on hold for 25 on a second call. The first disconnected. Problems with BB for three days and now the hub doesn’t even power on after an apparent update!

  • rohaaminho Najm Khan (@rohaaminho) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Is this related to this breach. If not that’s even worse and just says the service is really bad

  • K74Marti Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, England

    @lastdart @virginmedia I am with you on this one. They may have me over a barrel right now but when this is all over and normal service is resolved they can say farewell to this customer. If this is the way they treat loyal customer then #SirRichardBranson is in for a big expensive shock.

  • MichaelDooega10 Michael gorman (@MichaelDooega10) reported from Woodley, England

    @virginmedia Well thanks for that number which was a complete waist of my time !!!!!i shall be contacting sky for a quote tomorrow !!!! There customer service can’t be this bad !!!!!

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia No known issues according to the tests but when I call your support they always say otherwise. I clearly have issues.

  • katesj1983 Kate (@katesj1983) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Already done that and run tests nothing..and it’s still a mess. My wired connections are also going super slow as well as WiFi

  • perrycoke Kezza 🙃 (@perrycoke) reported from Hurst, England

    @virginmedia I managed to get through to customer services in the end & now have an engineer booked for 2moro between 7am & 12pm. Going to cost me half a days work now.

  • smithsterbloke Gary Smith (@smithsterbloke) reported from Bracknell, England

    Called to discuss end of contract and to retain my business (especially during uncertain times and current my employment status) and help reduce costs. Told it’s going to cost £15 more than we already are on! SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING US! DISGUSTED! @virginmedia

  • MichaelDooega10 Michael gorman (@MichaelDooega10) reported from Woodley, England

    @virginmedia still no reply from your text service absolutely disgusting !!!!

  • perrycoke Kezza 🙃 (@perrycoke) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia twice I’ve been on hold to customer service for 25mins only to get cut off. My broadband & TiVo hasn’t been working since 4pm. I’ve tried restarting the hub many times, checked the connections as well. I work from home & this is not what I need right now.

  • craigdyer Craigusdius (@craigdyer) reported

    WOW @virginmedia just had a call from someone who would not take no for an answer when I said I don’t want to add TV and Mobile to my GIg1 service. Customer service fail.

  • inspired_land Dukesmead (@inspired_land) reported

    @virginmedia If someone wants to call me please call me on 07775792791 otherwise cancel the account please

  • Emily_Norman_18 Emily Norman (@Emily_Norman_18) reported

    @virginmedia I have managed to get through by phone finally where I was informed that despite my next door neighbour having Virgin broadband ‘the service is not available in your area’. I have waited almost 2 months for the internet & no one has informed me of this. Really shocking service.

  • JackOMoore_ Jack (@JackOMoore_) reported

    @virginmedia Any reason why the V6 box keeps resetting every 5 minutes? I know there has been issues this morning, so is it related to that?

  • nasra_ayub nasra ayub (@nasra_ayub) reported

    @virginmedia Please cancel engineer is our Wi-Fi is now fixed!

  • marciehatter Jo Malley 🇪🇺 (@marciehatter) reported

    @virginmedia OK thanks, the 'temporary' nature of the fault probably doesn't help. It's fine in the morning and evening, only seems to start around lunch time for a couple of hours.

  • inspired_land Dukesmead (@inspired_land) reported

    @virginmedia If anyone at virgin actually cares please call me. Send me a private message and I’ll give you my contact number - i only set up the account yesterday. Otherwise CANCEL ACCOUNT

  • Spongette1982 Charmaine Whitehouse (@Spongette1982) reported

    @virginmedia sort yourself out. Last week the TV in our area TF3 was down for 4 days, now today the box keeps rebooting itself, I'm currently at reboot number 21 since 7am this morning. Just ridiculous service from virgin again, I swear you don't want to keep customers.

  • grid56126 Grid56126 (@grid56126) reported

    @virginmedia Still no resolution. In August no phone calls in Europe. Your team admit privately there are issues but it's OCTOBER and still nothing on your website to admit this ongoing problem My wife and I are currently in two different countries, unable to get incoming calls.
