  • SpaWellbeing Spa Wellbeing (@SpaWellbeing) reported from Wokingham, England

    What’s wrong with Virgin Media? Unable to access my emails for several days now. Virgin say they’re working on it but the problem’s still not sorted. Is anyone else suffering this acute inconvenience?

  • chopper2fit ruthless (@chopper2fit) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I would never ever recommend your broadband service to anyone !! Constant issues! Came back to you from sky as was promised a much better service !! Guess what it’s worse than ever

  • HollySquirrel Kim Marie Pike (@HollySquirrel) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia We need this sorting, as there are 3 of us working from home, involving video meetings. How do we get in touch with you to sort our services out? Our TIVo box is also slow to respond and on-demand isn’t working, due to internet problems. Help. Now. Please.

  • westy_1966 JOHN WEST ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@westy_1966) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia why is your internet service so poor.3rd day of the week and already this week I’ve had issues for two days#stayconnected

  • terrygparrott TGP (@terrygparrott) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Broadband in GU14 is up and down like a "****** draws". I pay for 350 Mbps but am getting much less than that. I've rebooted and reset my Hub 3, please sort it out!

  • bmm1979 Becky (@bmm1979) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia hi, I’m trying to contact you regarding a mobile phone contract I wish to cancel, but can’t get through by phone and the chat function won’t pick up my problem

  • OutdoorDaveGB David Bruton (@OutdoorDaveGB) reported from Reading, England

    @PhelanHill @bt_uk @virginmedia If it works it's brilliant but if it doesn't @virginmedia 's Customer Service is woeful in my experience (and @GBRChris_A 's) Currently even with all the people working at home it is good @ 200 Mbps !

  • boffbowsh Paul Bowsher (@boffbowsh) reported from Wokingham, England

    Virgin Media down again today. Getting increasingly tempted by FTTPoD.

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia A fuse had tripped out on Friday - literally took engineer a few seconds to fix it

  • samtomkins samtomkins (@samtomkins) reported from Henley-on-Thames, England

    @virginmedia how do I speak to someone about my mobile phone. I haven’t been able to swap my sim as my sim port is broken, so today you have cut me off, despite me still paying bills!!!

  • OutdoorDaveGB David Bruton (@OutdoorDaveGB) reported from Reading, England

    @GBRChris_A @virginmedia Not good! Unfortunately my experience of their Customer Service/Technical support when required a couple of years ago was frankly lamentable. Lots of promises absolutely zero action/solutions

  • chantelle_ukccf Chantelle Newton (@chantelle_ukccf) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I have a support query which I have submitted via the Virgin Media app and I have tried calling but I’m getting no where. Can you provide a contact channel that will actually get me the support I need?

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Down again! Your service is a shambles at the moment

  • Fares_Fair Fares_Fair (@Fares_Fair) reported

    @BTPJoe @virginmedia Useless customer services. I have had arguments with them before. Nobody is responsible for taking ownership of issues. They just pass you from pillar to post. #useless

  • TTfanofthe90s Liinzi BOO 👻👻👻👻 (@TTfanofthe90s) reported

    @virginmedia Omg how bad is it that you ring nearly every hour every day hold for 57mins then they pick up and hang up, I'm FUMING!!!

  • Ryansims9 Ryan Sims (@Ryansims9) reported

    @virginmedia The issue is my internet is all over the place. It’s dropping off even hard wired to devices. The WiFi is a mess on the testing! It’s up and down. I have a weak security warning and a moderate router!

  • HardieMh37 Mark Hardie ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🏆 ⚽🥊 (@HardieMh37) reported from Plymouth, England

    @Gazzalatic @virginmedia Totally agree mate if it weren't for the broadband I'd **** them off

  • Sunseeker1357 Debbie Edwards (@Sunseeker1357) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve just been on hold for 1 hour and 2 minutes listening to your horrendous hold music to then be cut off! Terrible customer service.

  • kevinnorris7 kevin norris (@kevinnorris7) reported

    @virginmedia you have cancelled my install, third time since 22/10. Each time you offer £25 off my bill. So far you owe me £75. But I won't get it because it's not an active account and I will cancel before you solve the problem.

  • elnazr7 Elnaz Rasoolzadeh (@elnazr7) reported

    @virginmedia Yes when I called your customer service there was an automated message saying there was. Really bad timing and also important to be able to speak to someone during these times!

  • itssammykins Sammy Glover (@itssammykins) reported

    @virginmedia hi, checked service status and apparently no issues found but internet been going on and off since Thursday for a few people, is there an issue in the WA11 area?

  • JoeSpencerBooks Joe Spencer (@JoeSpencerBooks) reported

    @virginmedia My feeling is that you’ve stripped the company back during lockdown and are putting off dealing with complaints as well as your engineers, until the lockdown is over. You have some serious systematic problems you’re refusing to deal.

  • SarahDMGreen ☮ Sarah Green ☮ (@SarahDMGreen) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you for the new phone. Unfortunately there is still an issue with connecting. My mum @PamelaMaryGreen will need to contact you again
