    My @virginmedia has completely gone down. On a Friday night & good Friday of all days. TV is completely blank 😣

  • flyingjok
    John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Worst part of it @virginmedia is the way your customer service team speaks to customers. Quite appalling and in my experience always approached on basis that the customer is wrong. It consistently bad - to be told you don’t send texts when I clearly had two texts quite insulting!

  • 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

    @virginmedia I'm expecting a replacement set top box to replace a broken tivo. Told it will be delivered Weds. but I've had no confirmation email and not showing in my virgin app. Can anyone help

    We have issue with #HGVdrivers but why @virginmedia broadband had issues for the last few days in RG6 area. Pretty bad service. @Ofcom

    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?

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

    @virginmedia *sigh*. Been directed to this many times. Had engineers referred many times. This is a persistent issue that raises its ugly head far too frequently

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

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

  • 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 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

    @virginmedia There is no problem in my area. My problem is specific to my account.

  • AlisonJaneWilso
    Alison Jane Wilson (@AlisonJaneWilso) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia truly awful company stuck in the dark ages why would you trust them with broadband when after 3 months notice to quit they take full payment and then you have to apply for a refund !!! Company run by dinosaurs looking for opportunities to rip you off when leaving !

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Done that. Multiple times. And over the last 6 months. And when I was an ntl: customer. And CableTel before that. 27 years of 56k > 350Mb and now it’s totally doing my head in. Unable to work from home properly. Boss won’t be happy!

  • HamiltonNashHR
    Jim Moore (@HamiltonNashHR) reported from Winnersh, England

    So @virginmedia is down again, and their 4G backup dongle has failed to take over AGAIN. In fact, it has never once failed over to 4G in any of the outages we’ve ever had. Why am I paying for this? 😡

  • ambreenfarooq15

    Virgin media is sooooooo ******* ****

  • a3racer
    Chris C (@a3racer) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia is there a fix time for the Virgin TV issue in the GU21 area? It’s been down now for over 24 hours! Will my account be credited with money that I have paid for no service?

  • dano_afc
    Dan O'Sullivan (@dano_afc) reported from Frimley, England

    @virginmedia what is going on with your customer service today????? Completely unreachable either on phone, online chat or your abysmal whatsapp service!!! Talk to your customers!!!!!!!

    @virginmedia I’m not happy with yr internet service. Every day this week there has been a loss to my service and this is happening weekly. There has been times when I’ve thought it’s an outage! NO SERVICE NOW SORT IT OUT PLEASE 😡

  • Vikk3rs146
    Mark vix (@Vikk3rs146) reported

    @fluffybubbles73 @virginmedia They troll the same old crap mate ..I just switched to Sky after 30 years with Virgin because they don’t give a **** about you ..just want new customers

    oh my days virgin media had me arguing w a guy in india until i said im closing the account cancel everything was then transferred to a man with a british accent and was trying to make me keep the account and they can get it sorted. funny how that works

  • Markford64LUFC
    Mark Ford (@Markford64LUFC) reported

    @virginmedia @fluffybubbles73 Over 20 years with NTL/Virgin Media and honest truth, never a real problem. Nothing at all.

  • sinbinnin
    Sinbinnin (@sinbinnin) reported

    @virginmedia We have had no TV in L22 since Saturday 11th July, outage checker has shown fix time this afternoon - just received a text to say engineer on the way, fix time now tomorrow. This is a bit more than rubbish, how do I claim compensation? (I thought it was automatic)

  • je_durrant
    James Durrant (@je_durrant) reported

    @virginmedia Im afraid I’ve have more confidence if 1. You got my name right, 2. If neighbours 3 doors down, also with you, had also lost service, and 3. As an O2 customer, I could get a half decent reception

  • StephenHampson
    Stephen Hampson (@StephenHampson) reported

    @virginmedia brilliant. Less than 12 months before the remote control on the streaming box packs up. And you haven't listened to feedback otherwise it would be one of the options on the help screen. What an awful company this is. Yes I've changed batteries.

  • Dadyougeek
    JR (@Dadyougeek) reported

    No @virginmedia internet since Wednesday afternoon, engineer yesterday said someone needs to come out and fix something between box and house and we’re meant to do this yesterday! No show from them and nothing so far today! #shambles

    @dublinvoter I will never pay my licence fee again. This joke of a broadcaster all ready receives revenue from advertising like virgin media, they will survive without the licence money if they stop paying stupid wages to talentless hacks.

    @davidkurten Oh..thats why the fined Virginmedia £29m. There's me reading it was bad Customer service and twisting *****.
