    @virginmedia And there you have the extent of VM customer care folks!

  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia all week had total Broadband outages and down again now (past hour). Received a text from VM with link to follow (self help) and guess what, I need Internet to access! Trying to WFH just impossible. Every hour we have issues.

  • DimiD35089880 DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Promised date someone to sort external connections come and gone and still same s*****. Can’t believe 4 weeks and nobody can’t fix it. 🤔I think something is fishy @virginmedia get it sorted

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Woolhampton, England

    @virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

  • nickybootyy Nicky Booty (@nickybootyy) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia when will the problems in rg1 be resolved?

  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    Really hard to support brand @virginmedia and recommend them to anyone for Broadband. They may be the only competitor to BT but do you have to compete for last place?

  • davedec60 Dave Crocker (@davedec60) reported from Reading, England

    So @virginmedia once more we have an outage, how many times now in the last 3 months? NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! Currently looking at switching supplier

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @Feesuff1 @virginmedia Having same issues on BTSport 3 HD and 4HD.

  • TimSBourne Tim Bourne (@TimSBourne) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia I'm sick of explaining this again & again - see previous tweets & msgs to VM. It isn't even noted - yesterday 2nd line support looked at my ticket & said I'm "not receiving any emails" NO NO NO! Just emails with etickets attached, even tho get non ticket emails from same sources

  • DimiD35089880 DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Upgraded to volt500 from 350 and speed haven’t changed now 3 weeks despite your engineer changed the hub him self still same shame I been loyal customer for the last 13 years

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

    Everyday this week and again today @virginmedia has stopped working… constant resets and in some cases down for 3-4 hrs at a time which is preventing work, training, education & entertainment! Come on #Virgin sort your reliability out pse

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I’m not sure if they do. Happy to do another web chat to cancel.

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Hi again. Just letting you know we’ve made contact with him and all seems fine. So please can we cancel the engineer for Friday.

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

    @virginmedia I have followed every instruction as advised. Turned off, set, check status and even network issue in area.. it just keeps dropping out daily with no know issues. It’s as if faster broadband has actually slowed it all down! Pse sort it out

  • DimiD35089880 DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia can’t even set up hub properly. 3 weeks since I upgraded my speed and I receive still the same but they keep insisting (we made changes will approve by tomorrow) REALLY!!! Is technical support think we are so stupid. Get a grip @virginmedia next stop complaints

  • TheBadgerG Thom Gibbons (@TheBadgerG) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Yes, zero issues in area for broadband, pulled apart and reset the router numerous times. It just keeps wanting to download new settings, works for a bit and then fails. Engineer now booked for next Wednesday which is an eternity running my business from home.

  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down again, 2nd week in a row. Had one day of service and stupidly canx Engineer due next day and hey presto back down we go again. 1 week wait for engineer, 1 day of BB, and now earliest slot for Engineer +1 week. Buyer beware. Typing whilst 50 mins holding with VM!

  • robmcewan1966 Rob McEwan (@robmcewan1966) reported from Finchampstead, England

    @virginmedia Truly astounding. I have spent hours trying to get virgin to actually carry out promises made and we’re still not there. I’ll swear the customer services reps I speak to are under so much pressure to move on to the next call they make it up as they go.

  • DimiD35089880 DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia We have engineer booked for today to see what is the issue as since I upgraded never had such a bad service experience for the last 12 years with @virginmedia

  • Geordiesbird Alyson Leitch (@Geordiesbird) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia is there an outage in Woking? No WiFi at all for 2 hours so far. 😫😫🤬

  • carlroach Carl Roach (@carlroach) reported

    @virginmedia I tried but this checks the service at my home, not where my phone is, i.e. at work, this is why I used the EE service checker based on postcode. I can't use the VM app either as this needs access to the SIM which can't be seen as I have no mobile signal.

  • HannaWSP Scott Hanna (@HannaWSP) reported

    @virginmedia John, I mean that I’m on M350 and want to buy M1000 or see the piece increase for it, but it’s not available, I’m also a broadband only customer

  • CallumCFindlay Callum Findlay (@CallumCFindlay) reported

    @virginmedia My partner was just on the phone to one of your apparent customer service team. I say apparent because they were abhorrently rude and made my partner leave the call in tears. Absolutely disgusting.

  • JennyBandicoot ジェニファー 🍼 (@JennyBandicoot) reported

    @virginmedia Go away. Fed up with being asked the same questions as if it's an issue on my part when clearly the service you provide is just inconsistent and ****.

  • SanjayP66196597 Sanjay Patel (@SanjayP66196597) reported

    @virginmedia 28 days?? That’s about as long as it took to fix the problem. Your problem is the lack of communication and your general arrogance. Others have commented on how awful your service actually is. I’ve been a loyal customer for 5 years with different addresses. Not any more.

  • imliamobv Liam Dunn (@imliamobv) reported

    @virginmedia Been trying to cancel for the past hour and I'm just been going around in circles and hung up on and was told they'd call me back if the call drops and they

  • Leafs1201 Paul Durrant (@Leafs1201) reported

    @virginmedia once again no tv or internet, to say your service is absolutely disgraceful would be be an understatement, no point in you telling me you call this number or whatever because it’s the same shoddy service, a cancellation of services coming up very soon from me. 😡🤬

  • wadafett Egg the Great (@wadafett) reported

    @virginmedia Yep, yur engineer came, after 20 minutes he left saying he fixed it and it should be working in 10 minutes. It's not fixed, and the dude just left. Now waiting for another person to come tomorrow. Since I paid for faster service, do I get paid back for bad service?

  • Kieenoo Kieno (@Kieenoo) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband down in Carlow town, I assume as a result of the storm. When will it be back?

  • JAE21458 John....Just a Calton Bhoy. (@JAE21458) reported

    @virginmedia Complaint sent ..not going away
