  • 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

  • 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

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Rochdale Cowboy (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Perhaps try kerpying your internet service 'up' for 26mins. Currently you're up to 17mins past the hour before it fails. Keep practicing.

  • 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 !

    @virginmedia I'm paying for 350 Mbps and getting less than 100, very poor now. You website says no problems so its telling porkies!

  • 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!

  • cobysaur Ryan Byford (@cobysaur) reported from Wokingham, England

    I wonder if @virginmedia and @vodafoneuk use the same backbone or something. Both services are down or extremely slow since 17:00

  • 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

  • Boanz62 Martin S (@Boanz62) reported from Reading, England

    @barrowboy78 @virginmedia Couldn’t stream a film last night as broadband was sooooo slow! It’s rubbish really.

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

    @virginmedia Came back on late Sunday afternoon - obvs pleased its back on but shouldn’t really have taken 46 hours to fix

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

  • nigel_dawson Nigel (@nigel_dawson) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia just switched to you guys this week to get away from poor broadband! What a joke this is, now paying more and I have no service at all. Cheers 😡

  • SamWard25950219 Sam Ward (@SamWard25950219) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin Mobile why did you cancel 4 of my family’s sims when all I did was upgrade to a new deal!

  • CGMSFERLAND SwitchAzlain (@CGMSFERLAND) reported

    @domineeektwitch @virginmedia They had my bill at 177 and I asked why guess what they added a phone line WHEN I NEVER DID. now I'm back to 150 but yeah it's ridiculous my old router was giving me 3ms so I made them give me a new high tech router that was actually meant for my internet.

  • cmatthewbacon Matt Bacon 💙 (@cmatthewbacon) reported

    @virginmedia BTW, I don’t think it is ever acceptable for support to hang up on challenging but polite customer — if they don’t know the answer than escalate rather than cut off…

  • cmatthewbacon Matt Bacon 💙 (@cmatthewbacon) reported

    @virginmedia Support person just hung up on me when I asked, which is not impressive. If there is no support for visual voicemail, then can we have a list of IVR commands for the old school voicemail? Back in the day it used to say press 1 to save etc.? And happy to move networks to get VVM

  • Chris_Davis1998 Chris Davis 🇺🇦 (@Chris_Davis1998) reported

    @virginmedia Yes there is an outage. Having to wait 24 hours simply is not good enough. There have been connection issues for more than a day, and this is impacting my work.

  • PrezzUk Prezz Uk (@PrezzUk) reported

    @LeeWarburton24 @virginmedia I seriously cannot believe how bad and how OFTEN, virgin media fail their customers. I didnt realise it was so bad!!

  • mattrichards100 Matt Richards (@mattrichards100) reported

    @virginmedia TV services down in Plymouth for 24 hours & not expected to be fixed until June 13th! And I’m paying for this? Plus I’m still waiting for my replacement TiVo box ordered in March.

  • UforiK_ UforiK (@UforiK_) reported

    @ThatGirlMilky @virginmedia What in the actual ****. That's so infuriating that they're not only not doing anything, but also just not listening at all. I hope you manage to luck in to having a competent person stumble across your case 🤞🙄

  • cmatthewbacon Matt Bacon 💙 (@cmatthewbacon) reported

    @virginmedia Does Virgin Mobile support iPhone Visual Voicemail? Just been told that an up to date iPhone SE is the problem with my mother in law managing her voicemail from the phone. If VM does not support visual voicemail, then just say so….

  • BoxeoMarshy MB (@BoxeoMarshy) reported

    No Sky Atlantic on @virginmedia is some Wack *** **** man why.
