  • JulianHull Julian Hull (@JulianHull) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia what’s happened to our internet?? I’m in GU14 trying to work from home. The last 2 weeks we’ve either had no internet or very very slow. Ran speed checks, used to be over 100, now it’s mostly around 6-15 and we are paying for 100

  • jayp171 jayesh Patel (@jayp171) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia is there a problem in the Maidenhead area?

  • MaxwellPerris Maxwell Perris (@MaxwellPerris) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia That you don't have enough staff to meet customer demand, apparently you don't have a complaints team and a £20 credit should solve all our problems. We never had this issue when we were with @SkyBroadband

  • Neeknowsbest Kim (@Neeknowsbest) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Hi. I have has my your chat open for 24 hours, sent a text message 36 hours ago and no response to either. As a new customer, with a query, this is not a good start.

  • dan_brooke Dan Brooke (@dan_brooke) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia had reached a new level of incompetence in terms of customer ‘service’. 2 months since signed up and still not installed with multiple last minute ***** ups... 🙄

  • GamerJamesFM GamerJamesFM (@GamerJamesFM) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia hi, I am trying to access my router settings page but it isn't loading. Any idea what the issue is??

  • HaiderAlRekabi Haider Al-Rekabi (@HaiderAlRekabi) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia and any chance someone replying to my message via app? I waiting for 50 minutes now. I have broadband down since 18:00 RG2.

  • JurassicGarden Char (@JurassicGarden) reported from Didcot, England

    The worst part of Lockdown wasn't the loneliness, the boredom or the agitation. It was seeing ******* Birdseye, McCain's and Virgin Media shoving happy family lockdown vibes down your throat to advertise themselves.

  • tomasquith93 Tom Asquith (@tomasquith93) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia The only detail I’ve had is as follows and it’s hardly detailed. Please can someone tell me what is the issue and where, with timescales. “Hi, it's Virgin Media here. The installation is kept on hold due to construction issue.”

  • fleetsaints Steve Jones (@fleetsaints) reported from Fleet, England

    Changed from sky broadband to @virginmedia seriously didn’t think it could be worse. How wrong I was. Utterly shocking broadband. Lost count of the number of times on the last 48 hours we’ve lost service.

  • LisaMarieHeenan Lisa-Marie Cuthbertson (@LisaMarieHeenan) reported from Reading, England

    Hi @virginmedia can you please check service RG31 as all services are down, the online check confirms the status is down but only option is book an engineer for Tuesday, does that mean I can expect no TV or Internet until then?

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia My WIFI is unbearable and affects my day of online meetings. I’ve done the usual troubleshooting and have your app too. Calling your support is useless and I can’t get through to a human. What do I need to do to resolve my issues? Message your CEO?

  • tomasquith93 Tom Asquith (@tomasquith93) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia I’ve called, but that provided no help. I was told I’d get a callback from a team closer to the issue in 24 hours - which has since passed. Honestly, not a good start and I’ve not got service yet!

  • jayp171 jayesh Patel (@jayp171) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia is there a problem with WiFi in the Maidenhead area?

  • jonathansnorman Jonathan Norman (@jonathansnorman) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I had an important online meeting at 7.30 this morning, no internet. Same problem last Thursday. Been and NTL & Virgin customer since forever but it feels like it is time to change

  • BobBeveridge1 Bob Beveridge (@BobBeveridge1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have explained all this before. Is there any point? My recent issue was with the pathetic final letter, now combined with the fact that your system is so poor you know nothing about this. Totally poor customer experience.

  • Dark_Angel_Arus Simon G (@Dark_Angel_Arus) reported

    @virginmedia @KatherineMcKeen At leash she had it fixed. My 92 year old grandmother has had no phone line for 4 months. She relies on it for her emergency button. She has had a repair booked in at least 7 times. Each time, nobody turns up and the repair is cancelled 1 minute after ist start time. Disgusting!

  • kubes81 Kubes (@kubes81) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah no internet wired or wireless, those links say there are problems and there’s an engineer expected at 7pm - this is not ideal as I work from home and need to be online, is it a problem for just me or a wider problem?

  • TylaEvans3 Tyla Evans (@TylaEvans3) reported

    @virginmedia I was on hold for 32 minutes and it said that you were experiencing technical issues and disconnected my call? Is anyone able to advise on how I should contact yourselves? It is an issue that needs addressing immediately and I don’t have all day to wait on hold

  • kja_chilli Kevin (@kja_chilli) reported

    @virginmedia Morning I'm supposed to have a visit from 8-12 and I know that I have 1 hour left but the service I've received as a new customer so far has been absolutely terrible. If the engineer doesn't turn up I'll be forced to cancel my contract as I'm still within the cooling off period

  • chris_cfc_ CFC CHRIS (@chris_cfc_) reported

    @virginmedia What good does complaing last time I had issues it took you 84 days to respond

  • KatherineMcKeen kat (@KatherineMcKeen) reported

    @Dark_Angel_Arus @virginmedia That’s awful 😥

  • bobbyleeswagga Bobby Booshay (@bobbyleeswagga) reported

    @virginmedia for 5 days straight I’ve been having internet trouble this is a joke and it’s takes 20 mins to get through every time i phone 😡😡😡😡

  • hibezzz KR@HFC1875 (@hibezzz) reported

    @virginmedia Hi , he is an existing customer like myself with the same package , regarding the contact I’m not sure but I am in a contract and at no point did your operator ask me for £25 connection fee, the product was posted to me and I set it up myself,

  • chrisgreen Chris Green (@chrisgreen) reported

    @virginmedia Well the latest call with your customer service team was another waste of time as well!

  • Jesshillcakes Sue Mills (@Jesshillcakes) reported

    @TheLastLeg How bad Virgin Media is in keeping customer updated about outages and when service will resume. We have had no phone or internet since an outage on Wednesday and no site of an engineer until Saturday.
