  • arintsie A Rintsie (@arintsie) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @virginmedia I am sorry but twice in 45 mins they cut me off as they did not know how to resolve the issue / easy way out

  • 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.

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

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

  • arintsie A Rintsie (@arintsie) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @virginmedia Phone call received this afternoon from your service centre but not about the complaint / when I asked about it they cut me off / email received from Resolution Team this afternoon telling me to ring your service line and have not read the complaint / total joke C-180123113

  • 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

  • MikeBiscoe1 Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    @GiganetUK @virginmedia 13:25. Down again…

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia Sadly I am not, as I have never any compensation for the lost of my connection, I lost Wi-Fi for about hour yesterday but as normal virgin media are not up holding its guarantee. I an@self-employed and the one thing I rely on is my internet connection.

  • andburd Andrew Burdett (@andburd) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I’ve spent more than an hour on the phone to your advisors this morning and am getting nowhere. I have therefore now decided I would like to cancel my contract (I am within cooling-off period). Would I still be considered a ‘new’ customer if I find a new deal?

  • leaver_sharon Sharon Leaver (@leaver_sharon) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Sorted now. Received an envelope last week with an adaptor. A leaflet inside stated we would receive an email when to change it. No such email received. Communication very poor

  • arintsie A Rintsie (@arintsie) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @virginmedia You keep cutting me off when I call ! / just email the complaint number to a member of your UK team and ask them to call me, really not that hard

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia No resolution has been offered by @virginmedia hence I have no cancelled my contract.

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @MoneySavingExp How about they just deliver consistent service? I am leaving Virginmedia and they are making it hard, there rules state if I don’t get the speeds promised they I can leave without penalties, I’ve had 7 times where I have connection in the last 3 days! @virginmedia @richardbranson

  • BeckyMorrish13 Becky Morrish (@BeckyMorrish13) reported from Camberley, England

    Useless service from @virginmedia called 2 discuss package options on hold for ages the agent says he was trying to help them puts me on hold then put the phone down. If their customer service is like that I think I’ll try give someone else a go @skytv can you do better?

  • 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.

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia My cancellation date is already set 11th Nov 2022, as I have to give 30 days notice. You lost my business yesterday after one of your CS decided to try and change my package to make it cheaper thinking that would sort problem, he wasn’t listening to complaint!

  • woodyturts Alex Turton (@woodyturts) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia service down in GU14?

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have on multiple occasions, I have just been taking to engineer who running the 30 day test, while taking to him I had 3 lost connection issues. Your employees are trying say that I will have to pay to leave my contract, @Ofcom state, I can leave without penalty

  • mattrose18 Matt Rose (@mattrose18) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia TV is an issue. broadband is not. Tests are always either cannot connect at this time or say there is nothing wrong. Don’t see how my kit in the house can one minute have speeds on +300Mb to next to nothing?

  • mattrose18 Matt Rose (@mattrose18) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Wired and yes. Seems to have stabilised for the time being. Hopefully no more issues

  • CRJG_ Cameron🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@CRJG_) reported from Bracknell, England

    Huge congrats to @virginmedia for having a web chat service that is so bad that I joined the chat to upgrade my broadband, but after waiting for an eternity for replies I’m pretty much ready to just close my account

    Virgin media is SO bad. Why can I never play Clash Royale?!?!?? Fix up x

  • Nesphalim 🐰 🦄 Kimberly 🦄 🐰 (@Nesphalim) reported

    @Jackoswhorld @samkkalleyne @virginmedia We all have Virgin Media in common. This would infer that the VM customer database has been compromised. I've noticed an increase in spam calls too. There are too many coincidences to ignore it. VM need to take action.

  • Moominpapa2009 Alan Hawkins (@Moominpapa2009) reported

    @virginmedia my broadband is not working properly on all my devices very slow since 5pm is their a fault in my area?

  • indu_hari indu (@indu_hari) reported

  • PinkPanda3000 Nikki Bird (@PinkPanda3000) reported

    3rd weekend in a row and @virginmedia has been atrocious. NO WiFi yet again...if I only I could get through to cancel my contract but that would wishful thinking #joke

  • pakistanipizza Pakistani pizza (@pakistanipizza) reported

    @virginmedia Do you know why my Internet has been so slow lately, even after resetting it. Youtube videos only load 5 secs and then just stop.

  • Liam_Wells94 Liam Wells (@Liam_Wells94) reported
