    The @virginmedia amazing service continues, pay £13.99 for a film that you cannot watch due to technical error 🙄 look online, seems common & responses unhelpful, hurry up @SkyUK & get faster broadband here so I can switch!

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Service outage AGAIN, this is now starting to become ridiculous... when will I start getting a reliable service!!!! This is not what I pay for @virginmedia

  • debi_feltimo Debi Brown (@debi_feltimo) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Cannot access my account online, forgotten my security question so cannot call, it’s my elderly dads account I set up for him. He moved today,none of your staff will help me as I don’t have the answer. He has now moved, has no contact to outside world, please help!

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

    @virginmedia just love paying for services which I'm not getting! Seriously sort it out or I will be going elsewhere. No tv, no internet your service is an absolute joke!

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Rochdale Cowboy (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @UxbridgeLord @marxistniklas @Jim27371416 @DansTweeterings @jeremycorbyn @virginmedia There'll be nothing stopping you from buying it in the future. Not sure what your issue is with a policy that gives other people something you don't want, and which doesn't cost you anything.

  • tw1tterlawsey Martin law (@tw1tterlawsey) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia , have been a customer for many years, my recent experience of your customer service was appalling and no empathy shown or value for my custom. I said your service makes want to leave, I was told that’s my choice, so leaving

  • tw1tterlawsey Martin law (@tw1tterlawsey) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Was not anticipating having to leave when i called in, was unhappy you increased my monthly charge and had not been advised. Was told you could do this and there was nothing you could do to rectify the overcharge. Been a loyal customer for 8 years and got treated this way

  • basicbloke2012 Basic Bloke (@basicbloke2012) reported from Yateley, England

    @virginmedia I did this last week and again twice this week All says there is an issue and I need to talk to someone

  • markblunden MarkBlunden (@markblunden) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia you’re broadband has gone from great to very unreliable. It seems to drop out regularly now. Paying a lot for your service sort it out!!

  • danarnie Danny Daly-Arnett (@danarnie) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I ring and get hung up on after being on hold for 6 minutes. I just want what I was offered on Friday. I am not very happy with the customer service I am receiving at the moment and will just walk away. I have been a customer for 10 years and get no perks just bigger bills

  • woodsa164 Alex George (@woodsa164) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Not great, it never is really.

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Proposed resolution time is 16h00 - so service has been out since 10h30 and I work from home...

  • roballan07 Rob Allan (@roballan07) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia It was a terrible experience. 3 different people over a period of 1 hour 20 minutes. I had to explain the situation 3 times. You need to review your Customer Services approach as today it appears broken.

  • chriswoods84 Woodsy (@chriswoods84) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia I've done all that. It's been intermittent all day. I've reset. I've turned on and off. I've sat on hold. It's a ridiculous service

  • debi_feltimo Debi Brown (@debi_feltimo) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Transfer, he moved today so is really panicking that he cannot contact anyone. I can’t even check if the service will be available in his new home

  • Katyebh Katy Hamilton (@Katyebh) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Exactly - hands washed of the issue. I don’t need an update, you’ve told me it’s done. It isn’t.

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Really need to consider my options and look at other service providers - ongoing intermittent service for a week now and keep getting fobbed off by you CSA's - I think you may want to consider reviewing your customer services. #badcustomerservice #virginmedia

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Not impressed, area service is restored but my service is still down. Engineer booked for Tuesday - do you really call this service!!!! I seem to have ongoing issues with Virgin Media - seriously considering changing my provider.

  • Katyebh Katy Hamilton (@Katyebh) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I made a GDPR complaint to you at the time of writing that tweet it was acknowledged, my preferences were updated (apparently) and yet I STILL get calls. Not a word of an apology in that letter though. Didn’t think anything would tempt me back to Sky..

  • chriswoods84 Woodsy (@chriswoods84) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia only had internet installed last week. For about the 15th time it's dropped out. Fed up of sitting on phone on hold. Service update page says all ok. Clearly isn't

  • PortillosJacket Bobby Dazzler (@PortillosJacket) reported

    @Sabine_Figaro @virginmedia Hi mate, same. They always book a technician then cancel it 5 mins after as they say 'issue resolved' this has been happening for 2 weeks, there is no way the issue is resolved. Phones earlier and they said there is no national problem, clearly there still is

  • gcxb Dan⚔️ (@gcxb) reported

  • FM80556085 F M (@FM80556085) reported

    @virginmedia are you going to fix these issues or what? Service down again, second time this week

  • SPB69 SteveB (@SPB69) reported

    @virginmedia That's 268 days from signing an agreement and the installation date. I'm sick of being told it's a priority, just lip service.

  • Kamikazerub TheJrue (@Kamikazerub) reported

    @virginmedia is the worst Internet provider I've ever had, all due respect.

  • tomwtwit Tom Wright (@tomwtwit) reported

    @virginmedia So how's the "fix" coming on? Can we expect it this year?

  • ashleybrazier7 ashley brazier (@ashleybrazier7) reported

    @virginmedia broadband down again for the 3rd day, multi million dollar company, surely this should be fixed now

  • paulsilm paulslim (@paulsilm) reported

    @virginmedia the service and internet is crap. Keeps cutting off all the time. A customer for 15 years and I will be moving to another provider soon
