  • 5aman1_m Munindra Samani (@5aman1_m) reported from Wokingham, England

    Yet again issues with virgin broadband. On the phone for over 25 mins - ridiculous #virginmedia #connectivity

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

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

    @virginmedia is there a problem in the Maidenhead area?

  • 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.

  • AV_Carys Carys Green (@AV_Carys) reported from Reading, England

    Feeling a tad disgruntled with @virginmedia I had to go into office today even though got tonsillitis as no broadband at home 😤 been two days now and trying to get hold of virginmedia impossible! Limited TV service I can live with but need broadband to work!

  • 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... 🙄

  • 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.

  • 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??

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • AmyJ1996 amy james. (@AmyJ1996) reported from Farnborough, England

    Right who has virgin media tv someone help us

  • timmorgan Tim Morgan (@timmorgan) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia what's the best department to get My Virgin Media support? I am a customer and it won't let me register an account using my email address although my bill is sent to the same email.

  • 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?

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

    @virginmedia stop calling me and try to sell me something i already have with you. I think your trying too hard. I already have the full package for tv that i don't use, highest available Broadband. never use the landline and 4 Sim accounts. and still. You want to zell me more!

  • 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

  • RifatJawaid Rifat Jawaid (@RifatJawaid) reported

    Dear @virginmedia, do hire people with English knowledge to manage your whatsapp chat service if you are catering to people in England. Wasted my two hours. All I wanted to do was to inform that I don’t wish to renew my contract with you. Please take this as my official notice.

  • tatey123 alaw..mot. (@tatey123) reported

    @virginmedia Billion pound company.and you cant help customers out that have been with you over 20 year ..will be ringing tomoz and will cancel ..sky just knocked £20 off what you will be billing .and i get extra chanels inc sports and movies . Bye bye

  • quikstu Quikstu (@quikstu) reported

    Very poor experience with @virginmedia earlier on trying to negotiate a new contract. On hold for most of the 49min call, then cut off whilst waiting ober 5mins for advisor to get back to me. Not acceptable. Been a customer for nearly 10yrs.

  • cuthbei Ian (@cuthbei) reported

    @virginmedia I’m paying much more than a new customer for the same service. I’m trying to save some ££s by downgrading or otherwise.

  • Eddie_Vermeer Eddie Vermeer (@Eddie_Vermeer) reported

    @virginmedia There's nothing there. I can book another engineer next week, there's no fix estimate.

  • Aman_Dhesi Aman (@Aman_Dhesi) reported

    @virginmedia Wireless connections. Literally every wireless connection. Do you not offer anymore support apart from turn it off and turn it on?

  • LeventeZone Levente (@LeventeZone) reported

    @virginmedia Tiny problem is that one's faith in any information is zero by now. I documented how at the same time, for days, status check site completely contradicts the status check phone line messages. It is beyond belief how 2 ways of accessing same info can yield opposite statements

  • Garethiacobucci Gareth Iacobucci (@Garethiacobucci) reported

    @virginmedia I cancelled our service over the phone this evening and was assured I would get an email to confirm cancellation. I’m yet to receive this, please can you confirm that this has been done. The customer service I have received throughout has been appalling.

  • Eddie_Vermeer Eddie Vermeer (@Eddie_Vermeer) reported

    @virginmedia I've spoken to them today. 150 doesn't work without a line. I asked if a data connection could be provided, as I'm running out, until the service is restored. Or if I buy data for the family, if we can claim that back.

  • mfrayard M Frayard 💙 (@mfrayard) reported

    For your own sanity, do not take up a contract with #VirginMedia. You will bitterly regret it. They behave like muggers, will take your hard earned cash and give you many troubles in return. @virginmedia, your customer service is the worst anyone unlucky enough to need can face.
