@virginmedia Oh... no, it’s down again. Nope, it’s back. Oh... and again, no BB. Wait, back on. Hurrah. Oh, no, back, nope, gone... There’s something seriously wrong with your service. Dead for 36 hours, back and now intermittent... in the middle of the night too! Who can fix this?

@virginmedia is almost harder to leave than the EU! 3 days, 5 calls (4 hang ups!) Several wasted hours online.

@virginmedia Your web site is not very helpful really - apparently the fault will be rectified by 08.40 this morning. Understand technical problems arise but it’s surely much better to provide proactive updates rather than to react in receipt of complaints?

@virginmedia Very poor service today - internet cut out at least three times, during separate on-line meetings -once at 9.50, once late morning, once mid afternoon. What was going wrong ? RG4 Area31

@virginmedia hey there - lost all connectivity at home suddenly this morning and can’t get through to any of your helpline numbers. Is there problem in GU15 3HY area. Can’t understand why 150 and external numbers are either not connecting or just showing as constantly unavailable

Hi @virginmedia really hard to work from home when the wifi keeps cutting out. We’ve not had a connection since 10.30 last night. Please help.

Switched to @virginmedia broadband in Nov ‘20 and agreed to pay more per month than I was paying before just to get reliable broadband. Now I find myself never using the Wi-Fi at home and the kids having to use my phone data to complete school lessons and work as it is SO BAD 😡

Day 4 of trying to get hold of @virginmedia technical support. Quite incredibly I just got a phone call from their marketing team trying to offer me deals. I said I didn't want any deals, I just want my Tivo box replaced as its broken. The woman hung up on me. Disgraceful.

@virginmedia day three of sitting listening to your hold music unable to speak to anyone. My Tivo has gone pop. Any chance you can help please?

@virginmedia I’ve called twice now to cancel and was very specific the 2nd saying, and then sent me a £5 voucher. So why would I waste my time calling them a 3rd time? Everyone I’ve spoken to has been useless and unhelpful 755136803 Here’s my account number, can you cancel it please

@virginmedia Hi, yep. It’s been poor for over 4 days and non-existent for nearly 36 hours. Yes, I’ve checked BB status, it’s supposedly OK, yes I’ve rebooted, yes I’ve factory reset, multiple times. Still no BB. Still have to go to office, no choice unfortunately. No BB = Big health risk🙁

@virginmedia I’ve phoned up twice to cancel and you sent me a £5 off voucher so that clearly hadn’t worked. No one has responded to my message either so that’s not looking great either

@virginmedia Why has it been so difficult to cancel. When I ring up your helpline why does the person who answer have no idea what they’re doing?!

@virginmedia Nope. No one has contacted me again, which is pretty much what I expected. If you want to come and do the outside work and fit the cables you’re more than welcome to. But my Sky broadband is being installed Wednesday so and I’ve tried to cancel my contract 3 times now so I’m done

@virginmedia Thanks for getting the internet sorted but any reason why there is still no phone service or any information to explain?

@virginmedia But they don’t cancel when I ring up so why would I waste my time doing that. I’m not spending another hour on the phone to achieve nothing again.

@virginmedia Still no landline service to home and neighbour similarly. It’s been close on 24hrs - pretty irritated that there is no information coming proactively from your team to be honest but appreciate the social team’s responsiveness to my contact

Dear @VirginMedia, are there problems in the GU14 area? Because the reliability of broadband here has been appalling since at least Thursday/Friday. You really need to sort it out, I have to WFH and my daughter needs to connect with her school.

@ralphyallen @virginmedia Let’s see how long it takes @virginmedia to respond or put something out proactively. I’m trying to call the 0345 customer service number as well as 150 but having no joy getting through.

Aargh. @VirginMedia broadband is down again, 20 mins here in GU14. That’s 13 days of poor service. I’m trying to WFH and daughter’s trying to do her homework online. This is infuriating.

@virginmedia I have run tests and there is an issue as usual! We have had nothing but trouble since we signed up to Virgin. Never had these issues with Sky I feel we are paying for a service we don't receive

How **** is @virginmedia Look up the opposite of good internet connection and you get close. FFS VIRGIN how can you be THIS bad I have just cancelled the direct debit. EVERY ******* MONTH WE HAVE ISSUES

@virginmedia Hi There, I am the It department. I have contacted external consultants. Its odd that the bandwidth drops on connection, and returns upon disconnection. Sorry don't believe you. I cant get through to support to have the connection tested when connected, it presents a problem.

I’ve experienced a lot of bad customer service in my time but @virginmedia win by miles! Asked where I would find my security question 40 minutes ago, still on mute now. Over 2 hours already been on this call.

@virginmedia been waiting for 40 minutes and counting to speak to someone on 150. Any reason for this utterly appalling service ?

@virginmedia As I cant get through to support, you cant verify the issue or not. I know very well you throttled my wife VPN connection. To be fair though she is with a small company - BASF perhaps you have heard of them.

@virginmedia No issues with my phone, only signal issues. I’ve been with Virgin for years and now everywhere I go I struggle to get an acceptable signal.

@virginmedia you are absolute the worst broadband out there. Every other week it goes down. The worst decision I’ve made. Roll on October when I can **** you off for good.
