  • SpaWellbeing Spa Wellbeing (@SpaWellbeing) reported from Wokingham, England

    What’s wrong with Virgin Media? Unable to access my emails for several days now. Virgin say they’re working on it but the problem’s still not sorted. Is anyone else suffering this acute inconvenience?

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

    @virginmedia A fuse had tripped out on Friday - literally took engineer a few seconds to fix it

  • chantelle_ukccf Chantelle Newton (@chantelle_ukccf) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I have a support query which I have submitted via the Virgin Media app and I have tried calling but I’m getting no where. Can you provide a contact channel that will actually get me the support I need?

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia 1hour waiting the first time and disconnected. This is the second time, still on the phone and waiting 55min. It is pretty much the whole day wasted trying to talk to customer services. Can you please help?

  • chopper2fit ruthless (@chopper2fit) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I would never ever recommend your broadband service to anyone !! Constant issues! Came back to you from sky as was promised a much better service !! Guess what it’s worse than ever

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

    @virginmedia Came back on Sunday morning, obvs pleased it was fixed but a 14 hour outage this weekend following a 46 hour outage last weekend, service used to be so good but seems to be very unreliable at the moment

  • kirsten_willis Kirsten Willis BEM (@kirsten_willis) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia what is so difficult about customer service these days? Spent the last 4 days going through the repetitive process of checking out WiFi connection, eventually got a number to call TL get cut off after a 30 min wait! Not impressed!

  • HollySquirrel Kim Marie Pike (@HollySquirrel) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia We need this sorting, as there are 3 of us working from home, involving video meetings. How do we get in touch with you to sort our services out? Our TIVo box is also slow to respond and on-demand isn’t working, due to internet problems. Help. Now. Please.

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

    @virginmedia I texted that number yesterday at 1840 and never got a reply
