    Slightest hint of bad weather and here we go again. it's only slightly damp here but already working from home has failed before it's even started. Think its time to switch ISP as this is becoming all to frequent from @virginmedia.. 2 lost days of work/pay this mth already.

    Can I just say again @virginmedia is absolute shite. Had no internet for nearly an hour but “their system is down” so they can’t check it. Piss poor from this company

    Virgin media just rubbish. Just so disappointed in a service that for the past 2 months has been rubbish. Worked all over the house and even in the garden for all the time we have been customers but now only working on one side of the house and not upstairs.

    @dinger3805 @virginmedia It's become a bit of a joke which is not funny anymore as I have lost 2 days pay now because of this given the price we pay. Appualing service at the moment.

    Intermittent network service from @virginmedia again, seems I need to use my reliable personal hotspot from @VodafoneUK - at least I have a fallback plan.

  • spice1971
    Graeme Spice (@spice1971) reported from Yateley, England

    @virginmedia Maybe you can pass on the fact 2 calls to two separate call centres (first was India, second Scotland) both dropped mid call. Assuming it wasn’t the operators maybe there is an issue. Didn’t happen to Philpines on third call. Annoying when hold times are long

  • mikeyh817
    Mike (@mikeyh817) reported from Woodley, England

    @virginmedia putting on such excellent service again 😡😡😡😡 broadband been down now for over three hours. You clowns really are useless. Really wish we’d left you when we had the chance 😡😡😡😡😡

    @virginmedia absolute joke of a service. Try and leave them as they are having your pants down each month and it’s like trying to escape Alcatraz. Awful firm

  • RJHOTCHEF

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

    @virginmedia Sorry to say that I contacted your online chat, but they offered no significant update other than 9th Sept for a fix and no offer of compensation as I am not experiencing a total loss of service. Not happy at all.

    @virginmedia According to your fault page there’s nothing wrong yet when you call they agree there’s a problem. Again poor service from yourselves when your departments can’t agree!!!

    Broadband service improved, good speed and customer service follow-up. Thank you @virginmedia much improved service.

    @virginmedia The worst Broadband provider 😡 The worst customer service 😡

  • MartinJerrard
    Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Just done that and again no issues reported. This is the second time this week I have had no connectivity. Just tried a reset and still nothing. How do I get an engineer out as this is becoming tiresome now given the price we pay.

  • MartinJerrard
    Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia No as I am about to drive to work when I should be working from home as I do each Friday and Monday except poor service is preventing me doing do. I will make a formal complaint tonight as this is the second time this week.

    Hi @SkyHelpTeam and @virginmedia . Was streaming a TV show via my phone (Virgin Mobile) last night as I fell asleep. Seems my Sky broadband connection dropped out about 1am, as my mobile data was completely drained & I've been charged for going outside my allowance. Help please!

    @virginmedia had enough asked endless times for help regarding my parents bills and your rubbish internet that keeps going down, by telephone, emails and messaging service !! Get told every time ring up, and get through to someone who barely speaks English 😡 see below 👇

  • slynch23
    Sean Lynch (@slynch23) reported

    @virginmedia They gave me a reference number but didn’t say how long it would take. Why is something so simple such an issue to solve?

  • RosioCafarelli
    Rosio Cafarelli (@RosioCafarelli) reported

    Appalling internet service from @virginmedia daily loss of broadband connection over the past week for hours on end. Usually service is pretty average/poor but this week is appealing.

  • tonywilson1703
    tony wilson (@tonywilson1703) reported

    @virginmedia why do your retention team not even offer anything to keep your customers to stay , sorry they did 5 pounds but sign up to 18 mth deal but sorry a new customer can get it cheaper by 30 pounds a month great exisiting customers are easy prey in these difficult days ,

  • reado1978
    simon (@reado1978) reported

    @virginmedia I gave notice in April we were moving, feel things should have been ready and I shouldn’t have to wait until June for internet. I understand there have been some challenges but I think it’s reasonable to expect someone out sooner especially as an excising customer of seven years

  • farmfeatures
    Кати (@farmfeatures) reported

    @virginmedia Hello. This doesn't work. I put in a different email and then it just asks me to put in the email I used to sign up with which it then won't let me do. Please can you help me with this.

    @virginmedia absolutely rubbish broadband service, non existent customer service, hours wasted trying to cancel. I could go on! People do yourself a favour and avoid at all cost. Never again!
